Health, Wealth, and Energy

-
It has been a little while since I last posted on my Blog. That will change in the coming year.

I have been reading Why We Want You to be Rich by Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki. This book has set my brain cogs in motion. Dissatisfied and concerned with our family finances and economic future, I have been feeling the need to study finance and welath more.

Today I experienced a moment of enlightenment. I want to share this with people in hopes of generating a revolution of sorts within the United States and maybe even the world. "Think big" as Mr. Trump states.

There are three main issues that I think everybody has to face:
· Health
· Wealth
· Energy

We are essentially consumers of all three. Most people have a sort of entitlement/victim like attitude about all three areas.
I pay my doctor, dentist, nurse, therapist, etc. to keep me healthy
I pay my financial advisor, CPA, Banker, 401K, etc. to protect and manage my money
I pay the gas station, electric company, gas company, grocery store etc. to provide me with energy for my car, house, body, etc.

Thanks to Mr. Trump and Mr. Kiyosaki, I realized today that the solution to all three of these areas is the same. Change your thinking from entitlement, fear, victim to one of empowerment, confidence, self healer. The mechanism is education.

I must become educated about health, fitness, the human body, and in the process assume responsibility for my own physical, mental, emotional, and social health. Visiting the doctor, dentist, or any other professional would become part of my education , but ultimately I am the one responsible for how I feel physically or otherwise.

I must become educated about wealth, finance, investing, and in the process assume responsibility for my own financial stability. I should seek out those wise in the handling of money, reliable sources of information for investing, and honest people with whom I can do business.

I must become educated about energy, how to produce it, how to profit from its production and sale. We are all consumers of energy. What would happen if the average person could become a producer of energy? I believe that it is already possible.

In the coming year, much of my personal study and writing will most likely be built around these three themes. I will give it more thought.

The Hope of an Unread Book

-
In their song, Dangling Conversations, Simon and Garfunkel have this line: And you read your Emily Dickinson And I my Robert Frost And we note our place with book markers That measure what we've lost There is value in the unread book. There is inherent hope in what might be discovered or learned. While not yet read a book still holds the possibility of being great, of changing you for the better, of lifting your imagination to new heights. The moment you crack the cover and begin to read, that hope starts to diminish. Each turned paged marks a small loss. More often than not, the book will not be great, maybe good or entertaining, or a complete disappointment, but not great. And the hope dies or goes to sleep. Even if the book is great and feels like the discovery of a treasure, once read it becomes a known thing and hope disappears. With every book read something is lost. Should we just give up on reading then? Avoiding the continued bashing and splatter of hope? No. We...

You Can't Do Everything

-
So I love writing a blog. Its fun to just have a forum for talking about things and sending it out into the ambiguous nether of the internet. However, it would seem that I am being pulled in many directions. I endeavored to pursue a PhD these past few years and have now accepted the idea that perhaps I am not ready to do a dissertation. But rather than just flat out lose all my course work, projects, etc. I am switching my degree from PhD to EdS. I think I posted about this before. In any case, I still have one last project to complete. Today I realized that I cannot to my final project and maintain this blog with regularity. So for now, I will only post once a week. So the blog will be maintained, but only just barely. But barely will have to be good enough for the next couple of months.

Where Is Our Captain

-
In 2 Nephi 26:33 it says, "... and he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile." In the 2017 October General Conference of the LDS Church Elder Quinton L. Cook of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles said, " Anyone who claims superiority under the Father’s plan because of characteristics like race, sex, nationality, language, or economic circumstances is morally wrong and does not understand the Lord’s true purpose for all of our Father’s children." I contrast this with recent statements regarding Haiti from that boss baby who so recently purchased the US presidency. Oh where is our captain? Where is the leader who gives confidence and faith? Where is a one worthy to be called a man, worthy to guide our nation? I see him not. We are left in the hands of another. A child, an ignorant one who joys in hate, revels in destruction, who seeks to tear...
