It's been a while since I last wrote a blog post. However, I wanted to take a few brief moments and tell everyone reading this these words, IN-JOY YOUR LIFE! Don't wait until everything and everyone is taken care of before you decide to start IN-JOYing your life to the fullest! The people who do this are often not IN-JOYing the journey. There have been so many beautiful moments to happen in my life since my last post that I can't even error about them all.
Below are a few pictures of some of the memories over the past 30+ days. Follow me on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to keep up with more of my fabulous experiences. www.Facebook.com/askarmanivalentino #claimtheincrease #seeyouatthetop #iallowmygood #iEmbraceTheUnknown

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... Have you been struggling to write your book? Many individuals who want to write a book, don't know where to start. One of the best investments I made was writing my national bestselling book, 99 Questions You Must Ask A Man Before Sleeping with Him & Definitely Before Having SEX. If you're in business, a preacher, speaker, PhD, MD, nurse, or any level of expert knowledge that the world could benefit, and you don't have a book, you're not benefiting the world to the fullest. All the knowledge you have and the methods to your success are going to leave the world when you leave the world. A book allows you to live for many years beyond your life.
