Move on Up!

Inspiring back then and today, and a clear message to hold onto your dreams --- never quit before the miracle happens...no matter what.


Hush now child,
and don't you cry
Your folks might understand you
by and by
Move on up
towards your destination
You may find
from time to time
Complications

Bight your lip
and take a trip
Though there may be
wet road ahead
You cannot slip
So move on up
and peace you will find
Into the steeple
of beautiful people
Where there's only one kind

So hush now child
and don't you cry
Your folks might understand you
by and by
Just move on up
and keep on wishing
Remember your dreams
are your only schemes
So keep on pushing
Take nothing less -
not even second best
And do not obey -
you must have your say
You can past the test

Move on up!

How Would Love Respond? S-E-X

Our friend, Kurek Ashley, author of "How Would Love Respond", is an American from Chicago living in Australia. Kurek coached the 2000 Australian Women's Beach Volleyball Olympic gold-medal winners. His book is a true story -- his wisdom can inspire you to reach your goals. On a recent call, I learned we need is S-E-X. Here are my notes:



SEX

S - Strength - character, body, mind.

E - Exercise - Work on all 4 muscle groups...physical, mental, spiritual, emotional.

Physically - gym, yoga, swim, dance, run, walk, hike. Do something for 15 minutes per day.

Food is fuel on which we operate. Consume food that makes you feel good.*

Mental - mind/brain - Read, listen to audio program. There will be less chance of getting demensia/alzheimer's. Look up one vocabulary word per day and use it 3 different ways and times that day. Literacy sets you free in every respect (speak the language). Ask kids, “what did you learn today?” If they say "nothing", look something up and discuss it with them. It teaches them to come up with something new to learn every day.

You either evolve or you disolve.

Emotional - Ask yourself - "How can i reframe this?" "How can I look at this so I feel better?"

Economics - look to thrive, not to merely survive. The opportunity of a lifetime is NOW in this economy. It's a great time to be in business. It forces us to clean up our business systems and become more productive. Start a business. Reframing - look at the other side of the coin.

Spiritually - If you do not know love, you do not know God, because God is love. Start with self love. It’s impossible to love someone else til you can love yourself. Let it spill out so people can feel it around you. Not having love guarantees a lot of pain. Be kind to yourself.

When you judge someone, it puts you in a position where you believe you know their whole situation.

X - Excitement. Get excited about what you’re doing. Enthusiasm. Passion. If you want to get great at something, get passionate about it. Get excited about your goals and dreams. You reap what you grow.

You can get anything you want when you’re moving forward toward your goals...we feel great!
