Our imagination is what makes us who we are today. With that said; Everyone that has a child/childre, take away those video games for one day a week and do something fun with them. It doesn’t need to cost money. We need some old fashioned fun!

Thank you Larry for allowing me to begin my day on a good note!

This requires a consistent amount of effort, especially durring the most challenging circumstances. There is a sweet spot I like to call active peace. I work as if it were all up to Me & I pray as if it were all up to God. I also look at my business from the perspective of a steward and not just an owner. If I were honest & I am being honest, I have often chosen the mindset for failure or limited success for more than 1/2 the 16 years I’ve been in business & I’m struggling with some wrong beliefs right now!
Thanks Larry for today’s encouragement!

The very term “fair share” is someone’s judgment. Who gets to make that judgment? In whose hands do we put that decision? Stalin put it in the hands of “the Party”? Is that what we want in America?

What happens when the payers can’t pay enough to cover the non-payers? When to the payers stop paying? Is that when we reach “fair share”?

I wish there were another 100 people like you who actually get it! People live in a dream world who keep telling people that work their butts off trying to make a good living not only for their own families, but their employees and their families, that we need to continue to pay more to the government, so they can turn around and hand it to way to many people who have their hands out who choose not to work harder or at all, so this administration will just take care of everything for them and steal the money from the many who continue to work the hardest! Thank you for telling it straight.

It’s not about “fair”. That assumes a predetermined need or order. Children need food,education and health care. Taking care of veterans, folks who’ve contributed all their lives or truly disabled, who deserves help? If employers took more responsibility for health care and sharing in the profitability of their ventures we probably wouldn’t be looking for government to solve it. How much do we as individuals need in the way of wealth? When do we decide “I’ve got more than I can possibly use, I’ll share with those not as fortunate”? Who decides? Employers? Government? God? Life is short, don’t worry about what you can get but what you can contribute. Just because you can buy multiple homes, cars etc., should you? We are not the center of creation or of time.

Great … were building a kingdom by being part of BasementSystems. There is a plan we must dig in deep with are fellow man and woman and see what else there is to complete. We simply just have to plan the work and work the plan. We should all be promoting understanding between thee aware and unaware by facilitating communication in our everyday environments. Thinkdaily does this very well on a much larger scale. Thank you for your continued work in excellent facilitation of communication.

I think our very existence causes the world to be a little different, so yes, we are all here for a special reason. We change the dynamics of the world by whatever we do each and every day. Some make dramatic changes, some more subtle. Changes can be positive or negative. Just think, what if the parents of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln didn’t exist? What about Adolf Hitler’s parents? Whatever we do makes the world different. I think you are special if you practice justice and compassion, respect the inherent worth and dignity of every person, seek peace and liberty, and respect the inter-dependent web of all existence.

Thanks for bringing things into perspective Larry. Can’t wait to listen to the new audio!

I love the famous experiment with small children where they leave the child alone in a room with a marshmallow. The children are told they could eat it right a way, or, if they can wait five minutes, they will get two marshmallows. The ensuing videos are priceless. Some can’t wait and eat their marshmallow as soon as the interviewer leaves the room. Others fidget around and eat it in a few minutes. But those that can wait were followed for many years, and turned out to be the most successful of all the children studied.

This is a lesson I have worked hard to teach my children. They are now young adults with young children, and I believe they are living their lives according to this principle. How I wish our government would do the same! I stay awake at night, thinking about the burden they are saddled with as a result of irresponsible “leaders.”
It is the ant and the grasshopper story – as old as time itself. Why must those who have lead their lives responsibly pay the debts for those who have not??
