I understand the rage and impotence that rules the world. We are often raised by caring people who haven’t a clue how to parent their precious charge.

You must be gifted in creating ways to solve challenges with your children and only use tools of the last resort when absolutely required or necessary. John Kennedy’s father, Joe, said this to John…and it will serve so many ways.

Here’s what old Joe Kennedy said: “If it is not necessary to change, it’s necessary not to change.” If it’s not necessary to scold, then it’s necessary not to scold. If it’s not necessary to use sarcasm, then it is necessary in the rest of your speech to use sarcasm.

Controlling that temper is the first step toward reigning in the wild horses that move your life. The judge weighs in…

The audio above was created in response to an observation that a person mustn’t fake it till you make it.

My observations – in relation to my site, SuccessInJapan.com – are important for the billions of people across the planet who worship others and put themselves down. They are the silent majority and they need not live in the shadows.

It was written to the Life Without Limits site whose webmasters, Heather Vale and Barry Goss and their staff, have written disempowering commentary to me about my notion that the “not walking the talk” crowd deserve air time and slack.

After all, if only the enlightened and the affluent have something worthy to say, I’d like to hear about their journeys to the other side or their fireside chats with God Almighty about righteousness.

The word adore comes from the French aourer meaning “to adore, worship” and from the Latin adorare meaning “speak to formally, beseech, ask in prayer.”

In our modern world of relativism, it becomes increasingly difficult to adore anyone or anything very much or for very long. Most images implanted in our minds are fueled by Hollywood fantasy or meant by advertising executives to sell us things we don’t need in the name of unbridled capitalism and consumerism.

Where have all our heroes gone? A good question to put to the adoring Judge…

A man complains because he has no shoes until he meets a man with no feet. I have that sentiment in motivational chatter again and again, but whatever your tear-jerking rap about “Poor me!” may be, there is always a path to the finish line.

It is believed by politicians and do-gooders that legislation can change minds and root out meanness, bias and blatant bigotry. It can’t. We mock and deride what we don’t understand or haven’t experienced…and that’s an awful lot.

I came across Nick Vujicic about a year ago. He was in a video featuring his God-inspired vibrancy and determination to do much more than just survive. He lives to inspire and wipe out all excuses for accepting failure with grace.

Watch this debut movie of Nick’s. He is a saint!

Many people are petrified of their intuition and hunches. They instead follow the stars and the latest trendsetters to decide their destiny. When they arrive where they think there going, all they see is a heartbreaking ghost town with tumbleweeds blowing hither and thither.

Is your heart broken because you feel trapped in other people’s dreams and expectations? Then I propose you take your life back before you are a tombstone.

You gotta have heart and grit to live a life of your own design. The message which follows may give you some perspective.
