Earn Money Blogging
There are plenty of people out there who have started their own blogs. Many have started them just for fun as a way to keep their friends and anyone else who may want to read updated on their daily lives. Then there are a lot of people out there who seek to have a blog that is more than just a daily rehashing of the things that happened throughout the day. These individuals want to actually make money from their blog. The problem is that these individuals more often than not fail to earn any reasonable amount of money because they either do not know how to make money through their blog, or they try to do way too much on the same blog and are unable to keep up.

Earn Money Blogging
In our last post on the topic, How to Earn Money Blogging, we dealt with the question: Is blogging for me? I'm sure that you are very well aware of the fact that not everyone is cut out for blogging to earn money because it takes quite a bit of hard work and creativity. If you are reading this, then I would venture to guess that you are seriously considering the jump into blogging and probably wondering what you would blog about.

When the Hard Work of Perfection is Done...
The most profound personal-growth seminars I lead are those that address our deepest fears or inabilities. What are we afraid of? Are there even "true" fears? Is there any way to overcome fear? Is there any way to find the source of fear?

Just go with the flow
‘It is both a blessing and a curse to feel everything so deeply’ they say. And there it comes again the wave taking over all the stability I thought I’d finally caught up with the chaos. I guess you never really know when you’re about to take a plunge for the worst. I thought I was just going to be able to dive in head first in the vast ocean, but here comes the ripple effect. Except, low and behold, it’s a tsunami this time. A watery grave of emotions is rising to shore. I thought I’d finally get to the seaside, pick some seashells and bask in the morning sun, but here strikes a misfortune. That could have been avoided with a little reason and common sense. You’re swimming and swimming against the current now little pisces. Oh, little pisces, don’t be so overly dramatic, he just left you. You’ll recover and enjoy threading water again as the leaves fall and the years pass.

LITTLE BLACK BOOK
- How did you get to be where you are? You smiled widely as the intense look filled with anticipation was awaiting your response. You knew this was the day as special as the day you had lived a while back, asking once the same question. The day stood so fresh in your memory it was like no time passed at all.

It Hurts Me To Share This
The only place I want to be is right here-right now. This is it. This is all I need. I don’t have to write my thoughts down onto a sheet of paper. I don’t have to share them with other people. Half the time? The materials which I encounter on the regular aren’t even individual’s personal thoughts: they are either mimicking or interpreting what other people already said. Famous, historically significant people who’s shocking breakthrough led to some sort of immaculate discovery for humanity’s sake, or otherwise, became so significant that it garnered the traction of other people who didn’t know how to think for themselves and much less why!? of what benefit could it possibly be for a single person to develop their own thoughts? and especially because everything has already allegedly been done before! Well? Ha! I just engulfed another bite of my sandwich! I just breathed another breath! and you know what I’m going to share next don’t you?! THAT has NEVER been done before! Thinking for oneself is the ultimate gift of true-liberation and I am only apologetic because I did no due diligence to relay this message towards the younger generations sooner! Before, ultimately our human species gets confined and robbed thoroughly of their individual freedoms and mainly due to the desire for the attraction towards power, greed and consumption in the external, perceptive universe through many a divine stratagems (such as visibility through notoriety and recognition), an individual must come to the place of love and acceptance for SELF! if that goes missing? And yes! I get it: I am by definition a hypocrite for even sharing this. I feel sincerely nervous that my computer and internet alone are picking up on different, and significant human features and elements in order to further their mechanistic cause. You get that? A Star Trek future seems unrealistic to most people still and others refuse to stand up against the futility of the cause: “Resistance is futile.” But you see? being the messenger is a far more important role for me to take as like I mentioned earlier, the guilt from not having shared this information towards our youth sooner will be far worse if I do nothing about it. So THINK! think independently! think and grow rich! think and create that which you wish to have in this lifetime. BE conscious, present, here and now! THIS is all there is! THIS is it!! meaning? whatever else comes to us during our life-time? is a gift! a blessing! a fulfillment on an impractical and undeniably improbable likelihood! because nothing in this life is guaranteed: not your car, not your house, not your health and wellbeing? not even your life in the very next moment. The fact that you have made it to this point? means that YOU were CHOSEN! and you were NOT selected to be enslaved by any chains that might bind you. Consider your world. Consider the constructs of its’ boundaries and think of your limitless potential simply for being chosen to exist as a human being. Does your world and your limitlessness add up? or does it seem rather restrictive? And like I stated earlier: I did not want to type and share this information into a computer chip, but I owe humanity a gigantic favor and these are the blessings I must communicate for the lost and troubled souls who have learned salvation through the physical subjugation of restriction. May you live and exist expansively freely.

Choose Your Circle Wisely
As we continue to get older, we also start to become wiser, well at least most of us anyway. Naturally, as we continue to gain experience in all the ups and downs that life delivers us, that experience helps us to learn, grow, and develop, as a person. Some use it to their advantage to better themselves, others use it to become more bitter towards others, and towards life itself instead. One thing I have learned personally, especially over the past decade or so, is how one cannot rely upon others in life, for anything. I'm talking about support, care, trust, compassion, moral support, financial help, encouragement, loyalty, true friendship, and true love. It's been especially evident to me over these past couple of months, as I have had to deal with what has undoubtedly been the most difficult and painful period of my life, and yet no one has been there to support me, comfort me, help me, or uplift me. Now don't take me the wrong way here, because I refuse to play the victim of circumstance, nor am I in any way looking for sympathy, because today's message isn't about seeking attention whatsoever. Today's message is about increasing awareness about having to deal with adversity on our own, and how we need to prepare for that, whilst it's also about not putting faith in others except ourselves, and ensuring that the people we spend our time with, are actually beneficial to us. When I talk of being beneficial to us, I don't mean that we need to be seeking and spending more time with people who are a convenience to us, and whom we use just to get our own way in life. I mean we need to be spending time with people who are beneficial to us because they are goals driven individuals, they are positive minded, they are encouraging, they are morally supportive, they want to see us succeed, they are motivational, they are compassionate, they are genuinely caring, they are generous, and they are inspirational. It's these type people we should want to be more like, so we can in turn inherit the same characteristics, whilst remaining goals driven and positive ourselves.

Versatile Pages
It was no secret to John that Olivia liked oranges. She had told him this once, furtively, as she had glanced, and double-glanced, at a homeless man, huddled and half-asleep, leaned up against the stall wall of the bus stop where they waited to travel downtown. She was training as a data-entry clerk at a local hospice center and had hopes of one day managing her own clinic, where they would specialize in veterans with addictions care, something he knew was very near and dear to her heart.

Absolute Freedom from Suffering
So, ABSOLUTE Freedom From Suffering huh. That should be the goal. The absolute goal. FREEDOM. If you are doing something right or making mistakes, you have to be free from it. We have an imperfect mind and body, so mistakes are inevitable. It's our nature. We learn by mistakes.

Letting Go!
We have all been there. The choices of the past! The decisions we wish we never made, but made them. You sit there and contemplate, “If I never did this what would my life be like?” For me its one decision I made over, and over again. The same bad decision for 14 years! Yeah I typed that right, 14 years! Kept going back to my ex. You’d think after having to cancel a wedding two weeks before because you found out all summer he was seeing someone else. You’d think after he left to another province, and never called you once for three months. You’d think after he finally calls and asks you to come move in with him, than dumps you in front of all his friends after announcing that you’re pregnant. Then having to drive across provinces in the dead of a winter storm to move back home. You’d think after he came back from said province, and forced you to have an abortion with that child he dumped you over. You’d think after you get pregnant for a second time, (he asked me for a child) and him not catering to any of your pregnant needs. You’d think after having the baby, and him cheating on you with a mutual high school friend for months. (Her husband contacted me on the affair). You’d think after he tells you not to go back to school because I’ll never amount to anything. You’d never go back! but I kept coming back after all these things. What finally stopped me from coming back to him was my family. My family made him leave with out saying a word to me. I came home one day to find all his stuff gone. He left wonderful, muddy foot prints everywhere for me to clean up. My family moved me out to a smaller place so there would be no room in my life for him to come back. Haylee’s wonderful support team got together, and offered me support. Like I said in “Taking Care Of You” post, If I’m not healthy how can I take care of anyone else.
