My college experience
After graduating from UNT with a BA in Audiology/Speech Pathology, I’ve come out with a huge understanding of life and success. I learned some from class, but the majority of my wisdom was gained through the experience of college alone. I learned to keep those who are happiest close to you, because they will teach you to stay positive when times get rough. Happiness is the key ingredient to a successful life, whether you’re rich or not. I also learned to be careful who you look up to, because even they can let you down and hurt you. So keep an open heart, but a strong head on your shoulder. Thankfully, I learned the responsibility required for passing my classes and staying a good student. Without self responsibility, you will bury yourself in grief, worry, and anxiety. So be smart when it comes to taking care yourself, because nobody else will.
These are all great lessons I learned in college, but the greatest lesson of all that I learned about having a successful life is to find love, and keep it. I witnessed many talented and intelligent people crumble to the floor because of the emptiness in their lives. I saw a very promising man abuse the blessed love he had, and then almost lose his life when he lost it. I learned from their mistakes, that a man without love in his life is not a very strong man at all. The secret behind every successful man of today and the past was a strong love life. In order to achieve greatness, you must have a strong woman to help support you when no one else will. Be good to your woman, because she can teach you the different sides of life that a man can’t find on his own. Treat her with respect and equality. I’ve seen many marriages where the man treats his wife as if she’s lower than he is, and doesn’t allow her to know as much or experience as much as he does. Well what he fails to see is that his wife is the one that is raising his children when he goes off to work. So if he doesn’t allow his wife to be as smart as he is, then what do you think will happen to his children? They’ll be just as limited and dumb downed as she is, only because she doesn’t know any better. We’re all equal, so we should treat each other so. Especially the ones we love the most.
You see, I have graduated from UNT with a degree in a very promising field that will earn me hundreds of thousands of dollars. But only sticking to that profession will never fulfill my true potential. It can never bring me the joy that I would feel from pursuing my dream. So, now that I have my degree, I will take a job in California so I can make real money, and then on the side I will pursue my true passion. My whole life I’ve dreamt of becoming an award winning, world famous actor, but I was too afraid to pursue it because my ego told me that it was impractical and impossible. But thanks to the love in my life, and her amazing support, I’ve had a chance to discover the secrets to life and success.
I learned that if you visualize what you want as if you already have it, and picture yourself doing what you dream of, your imagination will yield realization. Through repetition, by repeating what you want everyday, you will create it with your mind and heart. Your mind works with routine, so if you tell yourself everyday that you don’t have enough money to pay the bills, well guess what? You won’t have enough money to pay your bills! This wisdom is no secret though; all the greatest people of the past have used this knowledge to achieve the greatness that we read about in history books. All through the power of visualization! I learned that persistence and patience are required when working with this secret, and to never give up.
What I learned more importantly, through the support of great love, is to always follow your heart, because it will never lead you the wrong way. Many people say to work with your mind, that if you use your mind, you will achieve anything. Well I hate to say, but they are wrong. Yes our minds are great things, but where our mind is, so is our ego, and that is the number one reason of failure. Our egos are heavily influenced by the outside world and its negativity, and it makes us think things that are detrimental to our success, even if they are not real. So I tell you to learn to live in your heart where your dreams are safe from your ego or anything else that will keep you from succeeding. Never listen to what other people say because they are only afraid of seeing you succeed at something they were too scared to attempt. So I say, be a hero to yourself and always pursue what makes you happy. Do not ever settle for something that isn’t what you want because you can always have whatever you want. As long as you have a strong heart, and healthy love relationship to keep you on your feet, success is knocking at your door.
Now to those of you, who haven’t had the opportunity to go to college, do not worry about that. Almost all of the greatest people you’ve ever read or heard of failed to complete school too, but they had a strong heart, and love to keep them focused. Not everyone needs college, and to those who can’t go, well I just told you everything you need to know about it. Learn these concepts, and you will be better off than any college graduate. Stay focused, stay determined, live only in your heart, and find a love that will be there through all rough times. These are all a man needs to succeed in our world. Use these tools, and you will witness the true magic that life has to offer.

Save the Tiger
How come only familiar faces from the media seem to always be the target of imperfection? Every time a 'celebrity' or prominent face makes a mistake, its exposed to the whole world, as if they were supposed to be perfect. They are only human, just like you and I. We as a people like to expose others faults only to make ourselves feel better, because we see ourselves in them. This is the way the world works, we find something in other people we don't like (only b/c we see ourselves in them) and ridicule them for it. Well stop blaming others, and blame yourself, b/c it was YOU that made the mistake. That's your OWN demon you must conquer, but you will never do so by avoiding it and purposely trying to find it in others. Shame on each and every one of you to attack Tiger like he's some monster that has done something that no one else has.Yes, I understand what he did was wrong and hurtful, but that's the beauty of human companionship, when one of us makes a mistake, we can always rely on others around us to give us comfort, tell us where we were wrong, and help us get back on our feet. That is why I made this blog, so that we can show support for Tiger and all other people, famous or not, that we all make mistakes. I want every reader to post a demon they have, or a mistake that they've made, that they want closure for. Only we can help each other, THIS is our divine intervention, God will help of course, but only by showing us that we're here for each other. And if we learn to help one another with problems, no matter how big they are, we'll begin to see that were not so different. I ask you all, lets open our hearts and understand that the only way we can evolve is by attacking that which hurts us, our egos. Once again, please post all you want about mistakes you've made, and only reply to others with remorse, sympathy, and help because none of us are perfect!

Support Our Leader
Every day it seems that people all around are trying to disprove President Obama's potential and strength as our president. Many bend over backwards just to point out his flaws as if hes supposed to be perfect. Let's keep in mind who our last president was before we start pointing fingers at mistakes. It takes alot to change a country from struggling to booming. If anyone believes otherwise, then your just being ignorant, and we would be better off without your input. Learn to believe in people you may not exactly support. Especially when that person has so much power over your life. Support is the greatest thing any person can receive from another, and that's exactly what we need to give our president. Instead of focusing all your attention towards mistakes and slow improvement of an individual, learn to look at how strong that person is working and fighting for success. Obama is an educated individual who i believe is going to do amazing things. But it's going to be tough when his people (yes, WE are is people) are knocking his legs out from underneath him. Let's help him stand by offering our unyielding support so that he can run. Let us be his legs so that we can guide him towards our future. Then as he picks up momentum, that only we as a whole can give him, he will fly. Try to be smarter about this people. I know you may not agree about everything that is being done, but express your opinion in a supportive way. Instead of saying what is being done is corrupt, and stupid, and that Obama is the wrong person for the job, offer an alternative solution, and show how things could be done better. I promise he will listen. Because for once in a long time, we have a president of the people, that listens to US and not what congress may tell him is best. We really need to wake up and stop being so immature. We need to understand that the way we've been doing things in the past is obviously wrong. So due to trial and error, when something isn't working correctly, you adjust your approach and try something new. And let me assure you, that this new way is the right way. You can feel it in your heart, and that's because your heart never lies. So much of our world's population think with their egos and not their hearts, which is the very reason their lives fall apart. I urge you America, to think with your heart, because it is the door to your soul, and your soul only wants what is best. That best, can only come if we learn to support each other in this time of need, even if we may not agree eye to eye on everything. One thing we all do agree on is our search for happiness, but happiness can't come from your ego, only your heart can show you bliss. So let's put away our prejudices and differences, and let's understand that we are each other, we are one in the same, and when we can finally learn to live with each other, we will live for each other. I love you all, and I know you love me too, so let's show this love to our leader, and trust in his decisions. Because if we don't try, then we'll only remain prisoner to our egos. Just try, I beg you just try to change, so that eventually... we can become the change we believe in. I say, Yes We Can!

Live by you HEART, not your mind.
Growing up, we were taught that everything in our body works because our mind tells it how. That our brain is the power source of all functioning, and thoughts become reality because we set our mind to it. Yes it sounds beautiful, but the truth is even more glorious than that explanation. It has been discovered that our hearts, once believed to be 100% muscles tissue, is actually 65% neural. The heart's neural cells are identical to the neural cells found in the brain. This means that just like our brain's neurons synapse and create electrical charges that power our thoughts and bodily functions, our heart does too. The heart's neural cells operate through the same connecting ganglia and use the very same kinds of neurotransmitters found in the brain. In fact the heart is the actual power house of our thoughts, and it tells our brains what to do! Which means.....(drum roll, please) our hearts have thoughts! To think that the old saying which goes, "Follow your heart," was right all along. I know what your thinking, you want more detail from the scientific perspective. Well, more discovery has shown that our hearts transmit an electromagnetic field 8-12 feet out, and it engulfs our body, as well as our brain, in whatever electromagnetic radio wave it is emitting. Your heart is radiating and creating the environment in which your brain thinks. Neurocardiologist J. Andrew Armour, M.D., PhD quotes: "Groundbreaking research in the field of cardiology has established that the heart is a sensory organ and a sophisticated information encoding and processing center, with and extensive intrinsic nervous system sufficiently sophisticated to qualify as a 'heart brain.'" I understand your blown away by this, I am too, but what should you do about it? Well now that I threw all the medical and scientific data in to back up my claim, you can now begin to pay closer attention. What all this goes to show is that what you hold in your heart, will echo into your thoughts and your mind will make it a reality. Our heart resonates at the most ideal frequency that will strengthen your body. When you are untruthful to others as well as yourself, you heart falls out of tune, and can no longer function at its most resonant frequency. So be careful what you feel, because its exactly what you will think. We have put so much heavy dependence on the mind that we have totally shut down our feminine aspect to life, and that's love. Love only comes from the heart, but can travel to places unimaginable. So shame on us to have forgotten about the yin to our yang. To give all credit to our ego infested mind. It has gone so far that we have perverted science into believing that only our brains can think, and that our heart is nothing more than a convenient lump of muscle in our chests. The reason this has gone on for so long is because the power of our ego is incredible. We can dislike something, only because someone else doesn't like it. This is scary, because pretty soon, we just become sheep and no longer begin to think for ourselves. Our true emotion and drive becomes drowned out of our heart by our ego, causing us to lose our way. Governments have thrived off this notion because they understand how to bring us down, to cause us to shut out our emotions in attempt to drown out our hearts cries. But this will go on no longer, because now we know the truth. Now we can begin to dissolve our ego by never turning towards our minds again. Only through our hearts we shall live, honestly and faithfully. Being true to ourselves and following our dreams is all our hearts want for us. Start today off by taking a step towards a dream you've had. I promise, it will be the best day of your life. All because it is the day that you began to live your life through your heart, and when you live by your heart, your living in your soul. Now isn't that what we've all been working towards? A soul fulfilling life that is an adventure every day? It definitely is. That is why I challenge you to throw your ego away and any weight that is left lying around. It can no longer hurt you. Once you begin to think, feel, and live through your heart, your mind will follow, as will the success. So to all you fortunate readers who now have an incredible understanding and wisdom that will carry you towards success, wealth, and prosperity, I say to you spread the word. If you do what you love, no one else will gain from it, but if you Share what you love, the world will thank you in unbelievable ways. Follow your dreams, its the only way you will live according to your true purpose and hearts desires. And above everything else NEVER forget to..........Live by your HEART, not your mind!
