Rebuilding The US: Rebuilding Our Self.

It is upsetting to watch while those who are born in to the land of milk and honey work at destroying their home.  People are dissatisfied with their lives.   They had dreams.  However, things did not workout the way they had envisioned.

Now, many people are bitter and in despair.  They are also dam angry with everyone they think got in the way of their carefully crafted dreams.  The agenda driven liberal news media has told many they should hate Wall Street. 

The Filthy Rich have had nothing to do with people’s personal failures.  There has never been a guarantee in life.  For a long time the idea, that if a person studied hard in public school and got a college degree then they would get a high paying career.

This is idea still has promise.  However, for many, life is challenging. We are to evaluate our environment and be creative in finding a niche.

Yes, it is that simple.  The problem is that you are a victim of all the negativity that surrounds us. The majority of this negativity comes from the media.   A good a Spirit is one where the person is positive, optimistic, and realistic.  Positive means the good in life. Optimism is having hope and believing. Realistic means to see life as good and being able to enjoy life.  We can enjoy life with simple pleasures such a funny conversation with a friend and a good meal.

This year I added the phrase “we should feel good about our life because be have value”. We have value because we have values.

For many this Spirit is difficult to achieve.  All the negative messages they have received all their lives are too much to put down. However, failure to change your attitude does not mean you have the right to denounce the American Experience. Your American Experience is what you made of it.

America offers you Freedom, Liberty, and Independence.  This is not a guarantee of success, but and opportunity to try to succeed. I have learned that true success is Peace, Love, and Joy. This life status can be achieved by being grateful for what we have in life and enjoying life.  The true treasures in life are friends and family.

Now, you may want to continue being a negative person who has to hate the people the agenda driven liberal news media has told you to hate.   I do not believe you will accomplish anything with these behaviors.

Do you hear that?  It is the sound of your life clock winding down. Will you spend the rest of your life wanting to get even, trying beat conservatives for the sake of beating conservatives? You could try investing in your self and enjoying life.

People are good and decent.  Good and decent people fully aware of how blessed they are in life are moved to share their good fortune. There is no need for politicians to share the wealth. 

I believe we still believe that theft is immoral.  When government takes the hard earned money of one citizen and gives to another, government is stealing.

This president said he wanted to “radically transform” America.  The economic melt down of 2008 has helped this president convince many people that Wall Street is the problem.  A nation of people willingly pursuing the challenges of life in order to achieve financial success has become a country of the disillusioned and embittered.

Greed was not the reason for the global economic crisis of 2008.  Government interference in the Free Market was the reason, In the US; something called the Neighborhood Reinvestment Act was responsible for many unsecured loans. In addition, governments borrowing what they could not pay back contributed to the global economic crisis.

 There is even evidence that currency manipulation by Russia and China contributed to the economic crisis. Currently, it looks harsh.

However, keep in mind what the Pilgrims found when they sailed across the ocean.  There was no established Modern Industrial Complex.   The first Americans had to build from scratch.

Having confronted the evil of Tyranny, European people chose to risk it all to come to what was then called the New World. Today, we feel overwhelmed by the amount of obstacles to our own personal success.

The answer is not hatred and the destruction of America.  We have to reinvent our selves. We need to change our attitude.  Attitude matters.  Have a good attitude and you will have a good life.

We should not feel that there is no reason to have hope when we keep finding rejection. I operate a Taxi, 11 to ten hours a day 28 to 29 days out of the month.  My hope was to earn a PhD in psychology.

That did not work out.  However, I am not going to lament and resent.  The worst tragedy is my own personal war with god. Oh well.

I wish things had been different.  However, just because they were not does not mean I am going to spend the rest of my life crying while I cure my depression with fats and sugars as I wait for a government check.

By thinking continuously about life and the elements that contribute to life, I have come to the ideas of Positive Psychology.   I share these ideas in order to help people empower themselves by learning to how to use their personal skills of thinking, organizing, planning, and acing to change their attitude to the Positive, Realistic, and Optimistic attitude that they can use in a Free, Liberated, and Independent country in order to enjoy the simple pleasures of life and achieve Peace, Love, and Joy.

Honorable work is good work.  Work helps us pay for our basic needs and helps us enjoy life.

By falling in love with our home, the US, again we can start working for our goals and dreams and by doing so put America back on the road to recovery.  I consider my self very fortunate to live in this great country. For years, I was like every one else trashing and bashing.  However, through meditation on the good and decent I realize I had a lot to be grateful for in life and that life is best when we enjoy it in a healthy manner.
