Lose our dreams and we will lose our minds. Weneed dreams to strive towards. To reach our dreams, we must first overcomeour fear of not succeeding. They who never took a chance, never had achance. On Bringing Out The Best In People:To unlock hidden wisdom around you, we should learn to bring out the best inpeople. Genuine wisdom and good karma will envelop us if we learn to bringout the best in others. If we have an overconfident sarcastic attitude, wewill receive twice the defense mechanisms, and half the wisdom out of thepeople in our lives. On Getting Angry:We are the only ones who LET ourselves become frustrated and angry.Reflection in confusion leads to a growing, progressive mind, anger inconfusion leads to a frustrated, stagnant mind. Why avoid getting angry? Itis the essence of spiritual and financial progression that's why!! Yes itis human nature to get angry. But it is the embracing of anger, or the nonpracticing of reflection rather than anger that is to blame for much of ourworlds communication problems, and world wars. Anger and frustration is thenumber one deterrent to metal enlightenment and spiritual growth.Conversely, reflection and meditation is the key to progress. The style of reaction to frustration in ones life largely determines theirspiritual and financial wealth. A humble and reflective attitude opens thedoorways to our dreams in our lives. We must train our minds not to getangry, but rather to always have an open mind with the wisdom to see pastthe anger. Striving for tranquility and reflection in life is a life longprocess. This is the essence of an Open Mind. On Being Judgmental:We should STOP justifying our own walks of life as the RIGHT walk of life,and START developing appreciation for everything, and everyone in our life.The more kind and open minded we are to others regardless of differences =the more knowledge we obtain = the more friends and business networks wewill acquire = the more spiritual and financial prosperity we will enjoy inour lives. "Judge not before you judge your self" If we can show peoplethat we spread our love and attention around to all people equally, and havemaximum respect for all cultures and walks of life, we will be rewarded withgenuine positive karma, and financial and spiritual success. One shouldalways have an open mind to all walks of life, at all times, and berespectful to all cultures. Have you ever noticed that the more time youspend developing an appreciation for something in life, the more respect youhave for it? The same way works for people and cultures and just abouteverything in life. On Being an "Open Minded" Person: From the day we are born we drift farther and farther and away from thepurely compassionate state of being as when we are were new borns. Life'strials and tribulations confuse and anger us - TEST US. Life is a testwhich sends us through a labyrinth of tribulation which brings anger andconfusion which closes our minds to the bigger picture...which is learningto be kind and compassionate in the face of frustration. What matters mostin life is learning to be compassionate and kind, ABOVE ALL! - for thatdetermines ones success in this life, and the next. Sometimes many are ledso far astray that they escape their anger and confusion, And hence are notallowed to pass on to the next life. They must pass through this world againuntil they learn this all important lesson.On Life Being Fleeting:Here is another reason for us to always be compassionate and nice to peopleand try and avoid ever getting angry. Life is fleeting, people are heretoday and gone tomorrow. If we are unkind to our brother, friend, mother,one hour. They could walk out the door and be out of your life (death).Sadly, it takes several of these lessons before people realize this concept.By realizing that people are here today and gone tomorrow, the practice ofbeing kind and accepting to all lifestyles at every second of the daybecomes much easier for us. People are here one day and gone the next.Learning to spread love around equally to peoples of all walks of life isvery rewarding.On Being Thankful In/For Life:In the words of Gandhi: "Live as if you were to die tomorrow, learn as ifyou were to live forever." BE THANKFUL. Realization of a Thankful mindset iskey. How nice it is to just be alive, to be loved with family and friends,to have the sun and the ocean and all the basic things in life that we takefor granted everyday. If we focus on giving thanks for these thingseveryday, life becomes much easier.On Respecting Your Parents:Our parents are owed a special respect, for they sacrificed their ownprogression to raise us. By sacrificing their own progression to raise us,they are owed total and complete respect.

Without dreams we have no focus, no drive, like a sailboat with no wind...
That can get VERY BORING!! Lose our dreams and we will lose our minds. We
need dreams to strive towards. To reach our dreams, we must first overcome
our fear of not succeeding. They who never took a chance, never had a
chance.

On Bringing Out The Best In People:

To unlock hidden wisdom around you, we should learn to bring out the best in
people. Genuine wisdom and good karma will envelop us if we learn to bring
out the best in others. If we have an overconfident sarcastic attitude, we
will receive twice the defense mechanisms, and half the wisdom out of the
people in our lives.

On Getting Angry:

We are the only ones who LET ourselves become frustrated and angry.
Reflection in confusion leads to a growing, progressive mind, anger in
confusion leads to a frustrated, stagnant mind. Why avoid getting angry? It
is the essence of spiritual and financial progression that's why!! Yes it
is human nature to get angry. But it is the embracing of anger, or the non
practicing of reflection rather than anger that is to blame for much of our
worlds communication problems, and world wars. Anger and frustration is the
number one deterrent to metal enlightenment and spiritual growth.
Conversely, reflection and meditation is the key to progress.

The style of reaction to frustration in ones life largely determines their
spiritual and financial wealth. A humble and reflective attitude opens the
doorways to our dreams in our lives. We must train our minds not to get
angry, but rather to always have an open mind with the wisdom to see past
the anger. Striving for tranquility and reflection in life is a life long
process. This is the essence of an Open Mind.

On Being Judgmental:

We should STOP justifying our own walks of life as the RIGHT walk of life,
and START developing appreciation for everything, and everyone in our life.
The more kind and open minded we are to others regardless of differences =
the more knowledge we obtain = the more friends and business networks we
will acquire = the more spiritual and financial prosperity we will enjoy in
our lives. "Judge not before you judge your self" If we can show people
that we spread our love and attention around to all people equally, and have
maximum respect for all cultures and walks of life, we will be rewarded with
genuine positive karma, and financial and spiritual success. One should
always have an open mind to all walks of life, at all times, and be
respectful to all cultures. Have you ever noticed that the more time you
spend developing an appreciation for something in life, the more respect you
have for it? The same way works for people and cultures and just about
everything in life.

On Being an "Open Minded" Person:

From the day we are born we drift farther and farther and away from the
purely compassionate state of being as when we are were new borns. Life's
trials and tribulations confuse and anger us - TEST US. Life is a test
which sends us through a labyrinth of tribulation which brings anger and
confusion which closes our minds to the bigger picture...which is learning
to be kind and compassionate in the face of frustration. What matters most
in life is learning to be compassionate and kind, ABOVE ALL! - for that
determines ones success in this life, and the next. Sometimes many are led
so far astray that they escape their anger and confusion, And hence are not
allowed to pass on to the next life. They must pass through this world again
until they learn this all important lesson.

On Life Being Fleeting:

Here is another reason for us to always be compassionate and nice to people
and try and avoid ever getting angry. Life is fleeting, people are here
today and gone tomorrow. If we are unkind to our brother, friend, mother,
one hour. They could walk out the door and be out of your life (death).
Sadly, it takes several of these lessons before people realize this concept.
By realizing that people are here today and gone tomorrow, the practice of
being kind and accepting to all lifestyles at every second of the day
becomes much easier for us. People are here one day and gone the next.
Learning to spread love around equally to peoples of all walks of life is
very rewarding.

On Being Thankful In/For Life:

In the words of Gandhi: "Live as if you were to die tomorrow, learn as if
you were to live forever." BE THANKFUL. Realization of a Thankful mindset is
key. How nice it is to just be alive, to be loved with family and friends,
to have the sun and the ocean and all the basic things in life that we take
for granted everyday. If we focus on giving thanks for these things
everyday, life becomes much easier.

On Respecting Your Parents:

Our parents are owed a special respect, for they sacrificed their own
progression to raise us. By sacrificing their own progression to raise us,
they are owed total and complete respect. Communication problems must heal
at the family level, otherwise world wars will always be on the horizon.

Conclusion:

Be not short or cynical of others,
for everyone is equal in gods eyes,
for they could be here today, and gone tomorrow,
for everyone is learning and no one is perfect.
for it is your own shortcoming of your own development and appreciation of
other walks of life that is to blame.
be responsive, optimistic and helpful at all times
the fool will scoff and shun ignorance while holding his knowledge up high,
while the wise will smile with enlightenment, and be able to use humor to
bring realization to the ignorance, the key to an open mind is realizing
that your knowledge is limited and your curiosity should be limitless
only they who are perfect may cast the first stone, only they who are all
knowing may pass judgment on others
the only way to fight ignorance is through love, compassion, understanding,
empathy and humor.
be not overconfident in your own walk of life,
for there are countless other lessons that you have yet to learn.
The wisest people will realize the true meaning of unconditional love and
respect for all people of all walks of life.
The wisest people understand the power of humility, and how much there is to
know and move forward with an inquiring mind, which is free of cynicism, and
full of respect and empathy for everything and everyone around us.
