Our Lack Of Confidence Sabotages Our Thinking

2011-09-11T06:16:00.002-04:00

Many of us go to the polls with our head empty of knowledge of what is good for our economy to work. If we ask people that vote, how would you fix the economy? I am pretty sure many people will give you many answers but it will be usually talking points instead of a holistic answer or an answer that shows some dominion of the subject. Some people just had this creed: “I am for the democrats because they are for the poor and the republicans are for the rich”. This is a talking point used by many to make them feel confident about a subject they don’t know a thing about it.

People that use a lot of talking point know their lack of knowledge on any particular subject but to sweep the embarrassment of the moment they use them thinking they said something smart. Instead of accepting their lack of knowledge and take the initiative to learn for example how the economy works, they don’t do it because deep inside them they think they don’t have what it takes to learn that. That lack of confidence blocks our thinking ability to figure out how the economy works and we continue trusting that somehow our chosen candidates will figure it out for us.

When we do this type of election in where we don’t know a thing but choose candidates to fix the economy, we are gambling. That is the reason why our new president is playing games with us because he knows we don’t know and we are depending on his leadership. We shouldn’t go empty headed to the pools to elect our leaders if we don’t know what we want first. We should start by having some confidence that we can learn how the economy works and start doing our homework.

The first lesson is history. Do we know how we got to be the most successful nation on the earth while other nations around were failing? Are we applying the same principles learned in which brought so much success to this nation? Why are we not looking into that and repeat the same success? Don’t we trust ourselves anymore and we are letting the media and politicians hungry for power dictate to us what is best for the economy even though you don’t see any result? You bet we are!

Yes you can learn how the economy works. Yes, you can. Let us learn first and gain real knowledge and then elect. Let us stop gambling with the future of this nation. Let us review history and stop being manipulated by politicians hungry for power or ideologies grounded in frustrations and anger. Let us find the truth and courageously walk on it. Remember: …And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you (us) free”. But if we don’t know the truth, the truth shall make us miserable.

Over Taxing And Over Regulating The Rich Is Contraproducent

2011-08-07T21:20:00.001-04:00

Taxing the rich more and more like it has being suggested works like a boomerang on us. Most of us don't own businesses or corporations. However, they employ us. We depend on them. So, why is it that we listen to and believe the propaganda that tax breaks for the rich is wrong? All the media and politicians want to do with this propaganda is is making you focus on the tax part of the equation to magnify it out of proportion and make us ignore the other and most important part of it all, the debt and the out of control expenses we are constantly getting into so the politicians continue to be elected and re-elected for their own benefit.

We most reject the way we are constantly hypnotized by the media and politicians. We have to constantly take the information we hear and spend some time separating the facts from the lies. We hear the news and we swallow it without even spending some time breaking it down to understand it. Information is like the food we eat. If we don't spend time chewing and just swallow the food, it will eventually produce malnourishment, which will translate eventually in sicknesses and diseases. In other words, our mind will be full of wrong information, which will make us intellectually ill or ignorant.

Thinking hard will hurt our mind as making physical exercise will hurt our muscles but new muscles will grow up so we can handle stronger activities; the same with not being afraid trying to understand more complex issues. We most have confident that we can learn and don't allow others to give us raw information mixed with emotions and feelings so we can swallow it without thinking rationally.

Again, overtaxing and over regulating the rich is going to come back to hurt the poor and the middle class. Rich people who inherit wealth do not pay taxes. Most rich people are those who owns businesses and corporations and who employ millions of Americans. The more we hurt them, the more they will outsource their businesses. They will continue moving to Mexico, India and all over the world in order to make better profits so they can compete by expanding their businesses and hiring more people.

What is Money?

2011-07-06T05:59:00.000-04:00

I am going to give you my knowledge of what money represents. You most understand it and do not write it down trying to memorize it as a formula. Money is effort. Money is the amount of effort you make to create or to acquire something already created in order to exchange it for something you consider to be more valuable to you. Let us start supposing you live in a free country like America. In America you can own things like your hair and you can decide to cut your hair or not. If someone wants part of your hair to make a wig then there is a possible willingness for someone to spend effort to create something valuable or just to help others creating values in exchange for something more valuable to you. We can call it wages or salary but they just represent units of effort. The amount of effort you are willing to do for the wig depends on how valuable is for you the wig.

As the person interested in your hair comes to you and makes an offer you then will decide what is acceptable as a gain and the other person decide how much effort she or he is willing to make for the hair. As the transaction is completed and each part is satisfied we can call this capitalism.

But let us take this a little deeper. In order for you to have hair that you can call your own hair needs to grow in your head. If you stop eating and drinking your hair and everything else in your body will stop eventually and you die. So you need to use some effort and energy given to you by your parents as they feed you. In order for them to feed you they had to also spend effort or the representation of it, which is money to feed you. The hair you have cost money. Somebody else, out of love, fed you using his or her or both units of energy and effort.

Now inside your body you have ATP’s (adenosine Tri-Phosphate) ATP’s are units of energy chemically speaking. Without them you can’t even breathe. They are units of power. Our Creator gave them to us originally. Food is the only source that can continually give us more of it. But in order to get some more of that valuable stuff you need to spend (invest) some ATP’s to get more of it. Food is not going to fly to your mouth open it and move your teeth and then move your muscles to swallow it. You have to first find the food that is a value to keep you alive and mostly everybody wants to live. Then you cook it to eat it or just eat it raw. When you hear that nothing is free it is a true statement, if you don’t pay for something with value, somebody else will have to do it in order for you to have it.

There are two ways or systems to create values in a society. There is the system of slavery in which people are not allowed to have any rights except the rights government gives you but because government gives it to you, they can take it away from you to their own pleasure. This system is authoritarian like communism, monarchism and all the rest collective systems. Republicanism is based on free market capitalism and individuals’ rights, in which the rights an individual has comes from God. Government is God’s creation but operated by men in order to protect those rights given to men by God.

In a collective system you are forced to create values but those values are distributed equally, at least the leadership of those type of government think they do that. In a capitalism where individual rights are a requirement, people use the gifts and talents given to them by God and mixed with effort and wisdom to create wealth and then decide what to do with that wealth. Freedom allows you to decide what you would do with the values you create and earns.

There are people that feel they are losers. They prefer government to force them and others into creating values in order for them to have something. In a capitalistic system there are many motivations to create wealth and to come up with many ideas to create values. When you are forced to create values, ideas become scarce. That is why communist countries (collective systems) technology is copied from capitalistic countries. Almost all the good inventions comes from America.

About The Budget

2011-04-16T11:55:00.000-04:00

Some people are confused about the budget, others are not and many don't want to know. The latter ones are those that would say, I don't care what happens later, I just want my share now. You can't reason with this group. They are children in adults bodies. But for those those of you that are just confused allow me to break it down for you.

The first thing we should know is that there is no money. There is a huge debt that have to be paid. If one day the European Banks we owe that money to decide they want to be paid and would no longer lend us anymore money, we would be in a financial meltdown. You have to believe, because it is true, that there are within us people that will love to see America go down in flames. There are people like that and you can find them among those that want their share now no matter what.

Since we are in the same boat and we are the responsible ones we should assume leadership like the Tea Party is doing. We most back up those politicians that are responsible and want to stop the borrowing frenzy and want to cut expenses by the trillions. Billions of dollars is nothing and the debt will continue increasing by the trillions and then by the quatrillions. You most join us because this is not a joke. This is about falling in a tyranny as government will stop functioning as the people falls in extreme poverty.

I don't know what the Democrats and some Republicans are thinking. They are not probably thinking but slaved to their own addiction to money and power. So, lets do it ourselves while we still can. If we don't many will suffer the consequences of our own cowardly.

Gifts In Front, Money Behind

2011-03-20T19:38:00.015-04:00

It took me a lifetime to learn not to follow the money but to follow my gifts allowing money to follow me. It might be too late or not but the fact remains that I will stick to this important lesson. You are probably asking, how are we going to prosper then? The more we follow the money the more money seems to be running away from us. I don't deny that some people have become wealthy following the money but the price most of them paid is not worth the effort. Some of those folks end up in jail, dead; some lose their family, their reputation, their health and even their friends.

The main reason money will run from us and not toward us is that the gifts and talents we are equipped with are usually never discovered and the opportunities just pass us by. Greed and anxiety also prevent us from discovering those talents. Instead of following the money we should be pursuing our talents and gifts. God gives gifts and talents to us. We all have talents and gifts that we most discover. If you ask many people what are their talents and gifts, most people can't tell. They slip from us because we usually follow the popular wisdom that say you most study hard and earn a degree. Don't get me wrong, getting a degree is important in order to have something as a protection in case we don't find our vocation right away.

But the reality is that most of us live our life as a "pinch hitter". A pinch hitter in baseball is a substitute batter. We accommodate ourselves to be a pinch hitter and we lose our passion for those little things that we love to do but we don't see a future in it. There are thousands and thousands of examples of people that just kept doing what they loved to do even though there seemed to be no future in it until they got a breakthrough. As we keep doing what give us pleasure, we develop our abilities, not only related to our gifts but also learn how to market the probably insignificant things we think we do.

The talents we are born with start to show up when we are very young, even when we are just young children. If we are not encouraged and the popular wisdom start working on our subsconcious mind , we neglect our talents and start throwing dirt on it. It won't be long that we then forget all about it and the system will teach us to follow the money instead of our talents.

One of the greatest examples is Walt Disney. Walt Disney was passionately interested in art but his father tried to push him away from it saying there was no future in it while his mother and older brother encouraged him to pursue his passion and not the money. Here is a short biography: http://www.justdisney.com/walt_disney/biography/w_bio_short.html

I am encouraging any reader here that had lost his calling to go back to what gives you satisfaction and you see a talent there that wants to come out. Work on it hard and perfection it until you get a breakthrough. Our talents and gifts are in a form of babies and they need to be developed until it mature.

Poverty

2011-02-04T09:53:00.012-05:00

As humans we were not created to suffer poverty. Can you Imagine the creator of the Universe and the owner of gold and silver creating people to suffer poverty? Isn't it there like a disconnection? That is exactly the problem; there was a disconnection from God that kept us from reaping the best. The story of our poverty starts when we were thrown out from the Garden of Eden.

We had everything in the Garden. The pyramids the Egyptians used were just an imitation of the real thing, the Garden of Eden. We were even naked but without the need of clothing. We didn't even know we were naked. We weren't in need of medical insurance because we had divine health. We didn't need any protection from the elements of nature because there was no defect in nature. We were living in the supernatural. We had everything we needed.

But the good life ended when Adam committed treason. He and Eve were thrown out from the bubble to a place where was supposed to be transformed into a Garden of Eden because the elements of nature were already disconnected from the supernatural. How that happened is not he subject of this article. The fact remains that the earth out of the Garden was subjected already to a curse.

Men's senses, that were dormant came alive and the supernatural abilities died. Now men were subjected to the use of their intellect instead of the spiritual abilities to keep away any curse and to prosper. The earth was not going to give its strength as it was happening inside the Garden. The earth was out of justice. The earth was rotating out of balance in relation to the sun and as a consequence there were sporadic earthquakes, tornadoes, storms, hurricanes, extreme heat waves and cold weather. The earth was like a river to a salmon. Nature was not the real thing. The supernatural was the real thing but we didn't have it anymore.

As men started to come together they were convinced of a way to have security, food, clothing and they decided to form a society in which there were one religion, one economic system, one common culture, one common coin and one common language. It seems they were happy. Well, in a way they were but people in this society couldn't even think differently or you could be killed. There was no freedom to choose anything. Everything was given to you. God came to see and He didn't like what He saw, the Towel of Babel. Misery was spread to all equally.

God confused the language and collectivism was destroyed, for a while, and individualism came into existence. Now God could have an opportunity to speak to people, in the different ways He can speak, and bring some wisdom in all areas of life. Now people can choose and pay for the consequences of their actions, good or bad. Now people could practice free will as God had made man. Now people could have real freedom, liberty and private property except that they needed to form governments to protect those God given rights.

As people started to form different nations and societies, poverty or prosperity became subject to two important environments: The environment within and the environment without. In other words poverty or prosperity became subject to two types of governments, a government within us and an external government. In order to prosper and avoid poverty we need to govern ourselves properly but we also need an external government that would protect the right to freedom, liberty and private property that God has provided for people.

Poverty will be guarantied if both of those types of governments are deficient. We need Limited Government with will focus almost exclusively in protecting freedom, liberty and private property. And we also need to learn how to govern ourselves. Who better than God to teach people how to prosper? There is an anointing, a power to prosper and that power is in God. God also has provided to people gifts and talents that need effort, faith and constant try an error in order to develop our entrepreneur abilities. We can have Limited Government, but if we don't have power within us then freedom will not produce. That is why the gospel is necessary to prosper in all areas of life.

However, we can have the best of both worlds and still be poor. But also is a matter of never giving up until we learn how to do it. We will always have the poor among us as Jesus said because is a matter of us using our talents and gifts. There are also people that have been raised believing that poverty is a virtue. We are not in the Garden of Eden anymore and we have to make things happen through faith, hard work with wisdom and perseverance.
