February 15, 2016 Dallas, TX ---As the new week began on President’s Day 2016, many individuals didn’t have to go to work on today, and children didn’t have to go to school. Therefore, many spouses, fiancées, and significant others either got it right on this past Valentine’s Day or they totally missed it, again. Depending on how well the Lover’s weekend went for them, their Monday was probably in direct correlation to their weekend. They were either basking in joy or stressing about the discontent of their lover. Either way, they had their opportunity to at least get it right. Then, there’s another group of individuals; no matter how much they wanted to get it right and maybe even impress the object of their affection they had no one with whom they could enjoy Valentine's 2016. They were willing to buy the flowers, cards, candy, dinner, movie, engagement ring, or sit at home and #netflixcandchill; but they had no one with whom they could give or receive love this Valentine’s 2016. With all the dating options today, or seemingly abundant choices to choose from when it comes to finding love, many individuals still struggle to attract a suitable date for Valentine's Day, every year. I realized this when I woke up this morning and signed into my social media accounts. #Singleandlovingit #teamsingle #treatingmyself #stillsingle #nodate And many other hashtags centered around the lack of love or someone with whom to share Valentine's Day. On one hand, there were individuals who were excited about Valentine’s Day festivities; and just as many who were kind of sour or trying to act as if they weren’t so sad about not having someone with whom they could share Valentine’s Day weekend. The 5 people who more than likely have the Valentine’s Blues worst than you… 1.) The Man, who bought the ring for the woman of his dreams, planned everything out, only to be told, “No!” 2.) The Lady, who had finally let her walls down enough to go on a date with a man, went and got her hair done, bought a nice dress, shoes, etc., maybe even paid for a babysitter, only to end up being stood up by this guy who had no real intentions with her in the first place. 3.) The child or young person who got their heart broken over the weekend for the first time. 4.) The person spending their first Valentine’s alone without their lover who may have passed within the last 12 months. 5.) The person who doesn’t believe in love, at all. And therefore, is negative about any and everyone else enjoying and/or pursuing love. I am all about individuals loving one another and being in love. Therefore, I encourage you to be LOVE’S EXPRESSION, not just on Valentine’s Day, but every day. This within itself will help you to be able to appreciate whatever you receive and look forward to giving love, daily. I Otherwise, every year, you’ll end up having the After Valentine’s Day Blues.

A social media friend of mine, whom I have communicated withover the years, but never met because he lives in Africa, messaged me on Facebook about needing some inspirational quotes last night. I decided I would write this full blog post instead because a quote is often NOT ENOUGH.
--- MaDu, listen Bro... IF you're discouraged, here are a few things to do: 1.) Understand that whatever you are going through is TEMPORARY. It is not forever! As the song goes, "I'm so glad TROUBLE DON'T LAST ALWAYS!" Once you accept the fact that THIS TOO SHALL PASS, you'll feel so much better about everything. 2.) THEN, You have to line up mentally with the desire you're wanting. Meaning, you can't be hypocritical about the change or progress you desire. You can't say to your mind, "I want to lose weight," and when your mind replies back to you, "Ok. Stop eating so much of the wrong things and workout 3 times a week," but you don't. You're out of line with the what you're saying you desire. So, basically DO YOUR PART! 3.) FOCUS on the SOLUTIONS and not the problems. When you know the methodology of solving a problem, you understand that the solution is gained by following the process. Which brings me to the next step... 4.) APPRECIATE the PROCESS! The Bible says, "In ALL things, give thanks! There's no progress without the process. The process can be your ENEMY or it can be your FRIEND. For example: When you submit to the PROCESS of solving a math problem, you get the answer or a very near correct answer. Guess what, life is the same way. Not all your problems in life are going to be basic math. Some of your problems are going to be like Algebra, Geometry, Calculus, Trigonometry, Statistics or those Corporate Finance case studies. Either way, SUBMIT yourself accordingly to the PROCESS and you will PROGRESS faster to your SUCCESS! 5.) Learn from your mistakes and your SUCCESSES. Know that no matter how much people may front like they were born gifted, few people in the world are actually born gifted in any area. Most people (99%) never get it right the first time! Therefore, understand that you probably won't either, and that's okay. Just keep learning. 6.) DON'T QUIT and Be Patient! There are two types of people in life, SUCCESSFUL people and those who quit! Life can be like the long line at the Post Office. Sometimes when you go to the post office and there's a long line outside the door you have two choices, stand in line or leave. If you leave the line, you'll have to come back later if you want to make sure your purpose for coming there is fulfilled. "If you can stay in line long enough, eventually you'll get to the front of the line!" 7.) STAY POSITIVE! It's hard to attract anything positive with a negative mindset and negative surroundings. STAY POSITIVE or FAIL! How do you stay positive? Well, I'll tell you more on that next week in another blog. I hope this helps you Bro!

So, in case you haven't heard, the Texas House of Representatives Criminal Jurisprudence Committee approved a bill that would make marijuana legal in the state of Texas, for adults. Does it really come as a surprise?
While it's more positive than it is negative, for multiple reasons, just as in other states that I have seen this happen thus far, my only question becomes, "WILL THEY RELEASE THE MEN & WOMEN CURRENTLY LOCKED UP ON MARIJUANA CHARGES?" Personally, I think they should be released. If anyone knows how to sell and distribute the best grade of marijuana are the individuals, many of which are incarcerated for what was once prohibited nationwide. Many individuals should be given the opportunity to be released and create job opportunities for others, and recognized as legitimate business owners. Just my thoughts... Anyway, here is a brief article I found online by KSAT staff. --- AUSTIN, TX - The Texas House of Representatives Criminal Jurisprudence Committee approved a bill 5-1 Wednesday that would end marijuana prohibition in the state. HB 2165, introduced in March by Rep. David Simpson (R-Longview), would strike references to marijuana offenses from Texas statutes, resulting in marijuana being treated similarly to other legal crops. Nearly three out of five Texas voters (58%) support making marijuana legal for adults and regulating it like alcohol, according to a statewide survey conducted by Public Policy Polling in September 2013. Four states have adopted laws that regulate and tax marijuana similarly to alcohol. Two of them, Colorado and Washington, have established regulated systems of marijuana cultivation and sales. Alaska and Oregon are in the process of implementing similar systems. Statement from Heather Fazio, Texas Political Director for the Marijuana Policy Project: “Marijuana prohibition’s days are numbered in the Lone Star State. Texas voters recognize that punishing adults for consuming a substance that is safer than alcohol is a waste of law enforcement resources and an affront to individual liberty. It appears most of the committee members agree. “State officials are increasingly becoming fed up with the failed federal government policy of marijuana prohibition, and they’re taking action. Like most Americans, most Texans are ready for a more sensible, fiscally sound COPYRIGHT 2015 BY KSAT - ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. "ALL People have problems! Period.
It's the way they handle them that makes the difference." - Armani Valentino When I was younger, I used to think there were people who didn't have any issues or problems because of some sort of socioeconomic, race, religious, physical appearance, neighborhood location, affiliations, or other status. I soon figured out this was not a correct thought. Life is a problem. Actually, it's a series of problems or as I like to call them, challenges! And when you quit on a problem and/or dint learn how to handle it properly, the same problem(s) will continue to be presented to you throughout your life. In mathematics, EVERY PROBLEM HAS A SOLUTION! And the more difficult the problem, there's often more than one methodology of solving the same problem. Life is the same way. The problems we have in all areas of our life have solutions! However, we're often so engrossed in the problem that we can't see OR focus on the solution. And when this happens, we can often lose HOPE. Without HOPE, it's hard to believe and to continue to be open to the mere FACT that there is a viable SOLUTION to the problem(s). I'd like to give you a few ideas to help you with some problems and challenges you may be facing. 1.) Be POSITIVE! This is important because POSITIVE and negative do not ever produce a 100% positive outcome. 2.) Do YOUR PART! We're often perpetuating the very problem we're saying we want solved through our thoughts, words, and actions we display on a regular basis. 3.) ASK FOR HELP! Let GO OF YOUR EGO! Get help even if you have to pay for it! When you don't know, it's okay. When you've gotten it wrong over and over again, you may want to ask someone to show you how to solve the problem. One of the benefits of wiring in groups in High School and College was always the use of other folks mind or a COLLECTIVE MIND greater than all of our own individual minds, to solve the problem. Life is the same way. Get a coach or mentor(s) to help you get things in order. 4.) Count YOUR blessings, and not someone else's. In our society today, there is still a desire to compare ourselves to others, on a daily basis. While this can be good in certain circumstances, as a way of deciding how blessed you are is not an adequate account of the true level of just how BLESSED you are. Count your blessings and appreciate the blessings you carry with you every single day --- eyes, eyesight, skin, nails, hair, teeth, being able to breathe, sense of taste, touch, walk, talk, sense of smell, use of your legs, arms, toes, joints, digestive system, healthy cells in your body, and so much more. In conclusion, Don't focus on the problem, focus on the solution! #staypositive #dosomething #productive use your #faith and #imagination #success will be yours!

It makes a big difference to be known as someone who follows through versus someone who doesn't. It makes you credible. Many people want credible pay for services, but do not want to complete the tasks in front of them. If you are to have sustainable success, look at the fruits you have produced. Whether you have kept your agreement(s) more often than not, is usually a direct reflection of how good your word is with others and yourself. Of course, there are times in life where you can't keep your word. When you are not able to keep an agreement you have made, communicate it to the individual(s) with whom you made the agreement. Be honest about the reason(s) why and most individuals will understand. Often, the ability to keep your word is more important than the level of skill and talent you have when it comes to your ability to succeed in your chosen field. Therefore, keep your word because our words are bonded to us in the physical and spiritual realm. Until next time... Are YOU feeling STUCK? Earlier this week, I received a long text message from a recent coaching client. She was struggling with feeling STUCK in multiple areas of her life, for a while. Like many of us at certain times in life, issues with family, friends, self sabotage, lack of a burning desire concerning personal goals and aspirations in life, overall balance, anger, and clarity of direction about her personal path, were weighing her down. She told me she was interested in signing up for someone else's coaching program, and then asked me did I do coaching. She attended an event I spoke at, and had purchased a couple of my books (This Is Why I Won't Marry You & How To Heal from a Broken Heart). I told her I did do personal life coaching, but I don't promote it that often. I then let her know the kind of coaching I did was considered TRANSFORMATIONAL COACHING, and that I would not accept her money unless she was willing to follow whatever tasks I asked of her. Why? The processes and methodologies I use are a little unorthodox to the average individual. She agreed, paid her fees, and we met the next evening. Here is the text message she recently sent me (7 days after our first session): Hi Mr. Valentino! I know it's late. However, I have to give u this.....So many amazing things have been taking place in this week since our session. I also began reading your book about broken hearts. Well, this week I have had deep conversations with like 4 of my exes(healing). They called me out the blue. Then, on the snow days I played with my brother and dad(reconciliation). Lol... Now, tonight I took some me time and went to bingo and my sister came towards the end. When I saw her, I thought about the baby, but I pushed it out my mind and was like it's the past and leave it there(forgiveness). Somebody walked by and said, "Jackpot Bingo!" I thought back to you saying, "CLAIM the INCREASE!" Well....I did and bingo'd for $750!!!! #blessedwithfavor --- A. Dixon, Texas WOW! CAN YOU SAY BREAKTHROUGHS??? All of what was mentioned in the text message is a small piece of all the amazing manifestations that have happened in her life in just 2 weeks. Transformational coaching has the ability to move you past issues you have been dealing with for years and help you break through to the manifestations you've been desiring. So, far, each time her anger was tested she has been able to pass the test. This shows growth and proves the inputs during our coaching session have been paying off in huge dividends on multiple fronts. All successful people have a coach OR coaches, of some kind. The question is, DO you? If you have been struggling to achieve balance in your life OR may be feeling STUCK, call to set up your transformational coaching session(s) in the areas of forgiveness, weight loss, relationships, and small business/marketing. 972-781-8404. Sessions can be face-to-face or by phone. |
