Bryan shared this video with me a few days ago.

I've put it in the footer in the hopes that you all will watch it.

“As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/As_a_Man_Thinketh).”

Really enjoying it, Josh. Thanks so much! I'll be sharing it.

It also reminds me of What the Bleep Do We Know (http://www.whatthebleep.com/). <-- Quantum Physics meets New Agers.

Wow! Awesome speech/lecture. It actually inspired me to be a bit more positive/pro-active with my long-term goals. Thanks for sharing!!!

This actually works much better in a free market. These days exterior forces are quite powerful.

I was thinking the same thing. Psycho-Cybernetics (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0671700758/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=libert0f-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399369&creativeASIN=0671700758)!

It's funny, because I distinctly remember being able to imagine a scenario and make it happen all the time as a kid and never even realizing what I was doing was conscious, or had a name like positive self-imaging or law of attraction, etc. I think kids are just intuitively able to do this for some reason, because they haven't had their hopes, dreams, and zest for life pounded out of them by society and its oppressive institutions yet. I wish I could re-teach myself. :(

This reminds me of a line from the My Morning Jacket song, 'Gideon.'

'Truly, truly we have become hated and feared for something we don't want.'

The song is about Bush and his wars on terror.

Well, all of us should be salesman of liberty. :)

True-- but none-the-less, if you focus on the dark exterior forces and how they are powerful and are hard to overcome, then you will likely not over come them. As said, "act as if it is impossible to fail."

Buddy- you're a great guy with a lot of zest. I will never forget your classic "coming out" for Ron Paul video. You can re-teach yourself.

It is good advice. I think I heard it long ago, but was good to listen to again.

I get frustrated at being unemployed,, But all in all I have to consider myself successful.
I started with nothing and now own a small farm. I am not (or have not been) a salesman and though I consider myself capitalistic, I'm not greedy. Great wealth has never been my ambition. Just a few simple comforts.

I often feel like Job (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Job). I do not know why some things seem arrayed against me, but I accept that God has a plan and my needs seem always to be met.



25 I know that my redeemer lives,
and that in the end he will stand on the earth.
26 And after my skin has been destroyed,
yet in my flesh I will see God;
Job 19:25-26

"Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal"

"The opposite of courage in our society is not cowardice, it is conformity"

Thanks Josh. :)
