A solution for violence? Couldn't hurt

The man who brought us "Twin Peaks" and "Blue Velvet" is now suggesting a cure for the violence ravaging Rio de Jaineiro: Transcendental meditation.

The Associated Press reported today that the American director hopes to meet with President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to discuss the possibility of offering mediation studies in Brazil. He's in country promoting his new book, "Catching the Big Fish: Meditation, Consciousness and Creativity."

Lynch proposed bringing meditation studies to Brazilian schools and universities, and said such a move "would end the stress among youths and free the country of violence."

In 2005 Lynch, a meditation practitioner for more than 30 years, founded the David Lynch Foundation for Consciousness-Based Education and World Peace

Among other things, the foundation provides funds for in-school "Quiet Time" programs using the Transcendental Meditation technique. In the past year, the foundation has provided millions of dollars for thousands of students, teachers, and parents to learn to meditate. According to the Web site, the foundation also provides funds for independent research institutions to assess the effects of the program on creativity, intelligence, brain functioning, academic performance, ADHD and other learning disorders, anxiety, depression, and substance abuse.

Lynch was a disciple of the late Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who gained fame as guru to the Beatles but later exported his meditation techniques around the world prior to his death earlier this year.

In an inteview with Lynch following the Maharishi's death, the director told AP he believed the Maharishi had laid the groundwork for world peace, even if that was not immediately apparent from.

"The world appears in bad shape on the surface, but I compare it to a tree: there are yellow sickly leaves dropping off but the Maharishi has brought nourishment to the roots," Lynch told AP. "Hang on for a little while longer, it's coming."

It can't come too soon for Rio de Jaineiro, which is among the most violent cities in the world. It can't come too soon for us, either.

Some people have it all


and waste it


While others don't have a lot


But they give it all they got



The world isn't fair - some have it good others bad, but it's all the life we ever had.-terry carter

Attn Internet/Network Marketers What G.P.T. Is.

The latest hype with the 'in the know' marketers is G.P.T.
Most people out there promoting this concept are holding the cookie for ransom by forcing you to opt in to their list in order to find out what it is and
why you 'don't want to miss the boat'

i don't know about you, but I am so tired of all these lame-ass cliches being played over and over like a worn out record - oops - i just did one myself. LOL.

Enough babbling already. GPT or G.P.T. is Get Paid Today. Come on people, this is nothing new - just the latest catch phrase to get attention.

Getting paid today is the same as monetizing your list, funded proposal, etc.

It still comes down to perseverence, commitment, leadership, relationship building, and TAKING ACTION.

Want to get paid today? Get paid today. G.P.T. there, i said it. MEOW.

Don't QUIT

Don't Quit

Author Unknown

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won if he'd stuck it out.
Don't give up, though the pace seems slow -
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man;
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are -
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.

Do You Live In The Present Or Do You Live 'In Regret'

Have you ever thought of it this way?

They say we call it the present because it's a gift.

But When we grieve or long for the past or feel angst and fear over what the future may bring, we lose out on life itself.

Still we do it anyway - most of us - - most of the time.

People dwell in the past because it's familiar - like an old friend, or watching an old movie again - we can sulk in the crappy parts or skip to the happy parts depending on our mood.

The future can often be unnerving as we are conditioned to fear the unknown.
So we worry about all sorts of stuff that could happen but most likely won't.

But when you live in the present, in the moment, you won't miss it when it passes.

There will be no time for regrets or feelings that you missed out on something.

Every moment counts.

Live in the Present . . . instead of in Regret.

Quote Of the Day

Fear less, hope more


Eat less, chew more


whine less, breathe more


talk less, say more


hate less, love more


and all good things are yours.


-Swedish proverb


Words communicate your desires, too often they speak of your fears.

You Fail First In Your Mind, and Then In Your Affairs.
