Hello Tumble People
Wow this is my first post since March 24th I cannot believe how fast the time flies. My tumbling posts have suffered at the obsessive focus put forth in attaining my chief aim.
A lot has been going on, I nearly lost everything I own which is not much. I sold my prized possession which was my Mustang that I brought brand new and has given me much joy over the past nine and a half years, but it...

Envision Your Future
Envision you Future and bring it to you.
See it off in the distance and embrace it.
Smell its air of certainty, taste the fruits of your labor.
Hear the sounds of your anguish, fear, and exalting joy; then realize
it is all worth what you are going through.
Envision your future and bring it to you.
F.E.R.
Bruce Lee on Adapting
“To change with change is the changeless state.”
“Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow, or it can crash! Be water, my friend.”

I have a thing for Temple Grandin. Have you heard of her? She is autistic, brilliant, and has made arguably a bigger contribution to humane handling of livestock than anyone else in our lifetimes, not to mention poking a giant hole in theories of autistic functioning.
I’ve read two of her books. They were intriguing, because she was able to describe the way her mind...
Healing Old Wounds
Have you ever reconnected with someone and it just made you feel better and more at peace with yourself. Reconnect and communicate your inner thoughts and feelings to a friend or confidant, someone who will not judge you or tell you what to do but allow you to be yourself and guide yourself. Especially if that person is someone you love, admire and respect, just talking to them can help you heal...

Today it was a good Day!
Nothing went well on anything we worked on, it seemed that all of our efforts were fruitless. Over tired. Everything was fighting us, all that we learned was how not to accomplish what we wanted to get done. Everything was a mess nothing worked right, one problem led to another and another, nobody got hurt, thats a plus, we did move an inch forward and 2 feet back, our budget is down to nothing,...

Happiness the final object of all human effort
Happiness, the final object of all human effort, is a state of mind that can be maintained only through the hope of future achievement. Happiness lies always in the future and never in the past. The happy person is the one who dreams of heights of achievement that are yet unattained. The home you intend to own, the money you intend to earn and place in the bank, the trip you intend to take when...

Passion X Desire = ___________________
It is only when passion and desire intersect that common men can achieve uncommon endeavors. Ridiculed for their beliefs and mocked for their aberrant behavior, the common man with uncommon endeavors strides forward with undaunted tenacity and silent perseverance. He holds it inside until it permeates and resonates in every cell of his being. The eruption of energy is so great that even the less...

In Life among those who succeed from those who never will, shall be masters of their minds and not mastered by it.

I would Like to expand upon this thought.
Fear is a terrible entity, and it can force one infected with it into a perpetual world of mediocrity, or it can empower one to take great measures to surmount it.
F.E.R.

1.)The fear of Death.
2.) The fear of rejection.
3.) The fear of abandonment
4.) The fear of poverty
5.) The fear of old age.
6.)The fear of ill health
7.)The fear of success

Merry Christmas Friend of the Human Race
19 years ago yesterday I lost one of the most amazing people in my life. He got what it meant to be a good human being, a pillar of guidance and compassion, of encouragement, of seeing all that you are and could be and had in side of you and show you in a perverbial mirror through his words that he believed in you and you should believe in you too. He had a way of genuineness and love that was...
HAPPY HOLIDAYS: now it's time to work

We live in a world where mediocrity is the norm. Average is deemed as ‘good enough,’ and few are capable of perceiving life beyond that which is part of their personal self. We are approaching a new year, and although each one of us is capable of rising above the confines of mediocrity at any moment, it is at the turn of the year that we tend to contemplate change in our lives and...

Failing to Equal or Excel
Failing to equal or excel, the follower seeks to depreciate and to destroy- but this only confirms the superiority of that which he strives to supplant. There is nothing new to this. It is as old as the world and as the human passion, envy, fear, greed, ambition and the desire to surpass. Napoleon Hill.
Envy no one, envy feeds greed, malcontent and an excuse to accept failure. Envy dulls ones...

Of all the things great things I experienced and learned today at work in R&D the one thing I can honestly say that was the most educational was the inability of a particular person to budge there ego to solve a problem because they believe they hold all the cards and do not have to compromise.

The major trouble with this world today lies in our lack of understanding of the power of imagination, for if we understood this great power we could use it as a weapon with which to wipe out poverty and misery and injustice and persecution, and this could be done in a single generation.

This was written in 1926
When the dawn of Intelligence shall spread over the eastern horizon of human progress, and Ignorance and Superstition shall have left their last footprints on the sands of time, it will be recorded in the last chapter of the book of man’s crimes that his most grievous sin was that of Intolerance. The bitterest intolerance grows out of religious, racial and economic prejudices and differences...

Kids need to put the TV remotes, game controllers, text messaging, and computers away for at least 2 hours per day and get out and be kids. Run, play ball games, hide and seek, ride a bike or go for a hike etc, and stay away from refined foods especially soda. 95% percent of the childhood obesity would disappear and kids would further develop the part of...

How R.A.I.R are you?
The Rational Application and Integration of Reality is the process one uses when referring back to a past point of reference, all the current variables, and intuition in making a snap decision and acting upon that decision. As long as that decision does not violate any natural laws or infringe upon the rights of others, that individual acted through the art of genius.
