Dream Chaser
Approximately eight billion people inhabit this Earth. Yet, out of all those people, only one was (unknowingly) carrying a little black notebook that would forever change her life. Her name is Emily Watkins. Emily Watkins was not born into the best of circumstances, and she was no stranger to the everyday struggles. She had endured abuse as a child and knew what it was like to go without meals some days. Emily had experienced enough by the age of twenty-five to write a book about. The insecurities of her past left her blind to her own natural beauty and just how special she actually was. “I will take two hot dogs smothered in mustard!” Emily relayed to the hot dog vendor on a busy New York sidewalk. As she adjusted her back pack strap over her shoulder while brushing a strand of her long blonde hair that had escaped from under her winter hat. Emily had managed to pay the vendor and balance her food in her hands as she made her way to a nearby bench. She had sat her backpack, full of her notebooks and pencils, next to her on the ground. Suddenly, a loud voice called out “HEY! Stop that man!”. Just then, before Emily could even move, the man fell at her feet. He was breathing heavily and seemed to be scrambling for something at Emily’s feet. Emily was frightened and noticed how strange he was wearing clothing unlike she had ever seen. He was wearing, what appeared to be a body suit. His hair was perfectly manicured and his shoes had some sort of metal device attached. Within a moment he was scrambling back up and took off running. A nearby police officer asked Emily if she was okay. Emily quickly and calmly assured that she was just fine. She was just a little shaken up. Emily had lost her appetite and decided to head home to her one bedroom apartment. As she began to gather her things to leave she noticed her back pack and been opened. Some of her penciled were scattered on the ground. She began collecting the pencils and noticed a little black notebook peeping out the top of her back pack. “Hmm, where did this come from?” Emily whispered under her breath. She hurried home to further inspect this mysterious book. Back at her apartment, Emily took the notebook out. She opened the cover to see the words “ Dream Chaser”. Intrigued by this, she turned the page, and in between the pages, was an envelope. Emily opened the envelope slowly and inside was $20,000.00! Emily gasped and froze a moment. The notebook did not have a name or any information to whom it belonged to. She knew this was the exact amount she needed to invest as partner in a new business adventure. Emily could now follow her dream without the lack of money holding her back!

Knowing its time to change
When something happens to you that makes you "wake up and smell the coffee"... Its a tough pill to swallow when you realize that the way you have been looking at things or doing things is why you are far behind in life as you are. The worst part is when it takes something really bad happening to make you realize it. Then not knowing if you can fix what you messed up... again.

Gross Domestic Product vs. Gross National Happiness
Most of us know what Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is having learned it at some point in high school or in college. The total value of all finished goods, products, and services produced within a country’s borders over a specific time period such as a quarter (three months) or a year. Economists commonly use GDP as a model for economic health when it comes to an individual country. If GDP grows positively or increases over time, then generally you could assume that the economy is doing well or is at least maintaining its equilibrium. However, when the GDP of a country is declining or has been stagnant for multiple years, economists are likely to assume there is a problem of some sort.

Motivation
Something that people can possibly be blind to are the way they are motivated by things in detail. Motivations have the ability to influence you and give you a hard time holding back on that influence. Motivation has to be controlled for us to live a happy and careful life. It's an internal feeling, but very sensitive. There are ways to mentally practice figuring out how things motivate you and how you can be cautious of undesired motivations.
