finding your gift to survive economic times

Hi blog family!

I often say we ALL have a special gift we were born with! I believe that "gift" is a spare tool God gives us (or the universe if your not religious) to get ourselves or others thru something. Our "gift" (writing, singing, dancing, preaching, counseling, making art/inventions etc....serve as a great way to survive if you were laid off a job or having trouble because you did not receive the proper education or life experiences.. Example: What would Richard Prior, Steve Harvey, Mariah Carey, Madonna, Lady Gaga, Niki Minaj or Dr. Ben Carson be doing HAD THEY NOT found their gift?
There would be many lost, hopeless or dead souls/people! Why? Because I have heard people say that a "song, person or thought from that "inspired them" or made them want to go on in hard times!
You were born with divine purpose! What is that purpose! Chances are if you went thru foster care and no one ever discovered it....you still can. YOur gift is WHATEVER YOU DO 10x better than anyone else, with or without schooling!!  Dr. Ben Carson as a kid probably had a love for healing, Lady Gaga expressed herself thru music, Mozart created genius music...Freud had theorys in his head for a reason!! Micheal Jackson danced and inspired others ...
I challenge you today to find out what your gift is....
sit down and write how many times someone in the group home or after said YOU were talented in something...organizing, making things, keeping peace, singing, dancing, whatever.... think how many complements you often recieve for doing this "gift" that always gets YOU noticed?
Go, sing your heart out, write a book, make selective jewelry, provide a service the world needs!
Times are hard for many who lost their jobs, and cannot find anything after a year of looking, actively... sometimes being unemployed, can lead you to your gift! 

1. find your gift: singing, dancing, promoting, radio voice, organizing people, teaching, inventing, working with kids, disabled, mentally challenged,  (perhaps you could start the 1st "special needs" babysitting service...
Example:you would start with trade school for child care (to get certified), perhaps you would save $50 go to local police station and get your fingerprints checked to show you are ok to work with kids (these are examples)... perhaps you could advertise in your local paper that you are available... 
2. assess HOW it will make you money and help others...(singing...find out all the local spots that will let you sing for hat donations or pay....if your good, everyone will want to hear you sing, they will tell others...try to book weddings, barmitza's, talent contest etc...get a permit to sing in the subway..

 GO FIND your own work!!!
Make a business plan (look up how to on google or youtube)
Go to sites like Vistaprint.com make your business cards for less $, get clients by doing research on WHO needs your services..phone book still works!! target your audience: social workers, residents, businesses etc....
Now life always throws a curvball, but what will YOU do with it and HOW will you use your talents to get you thru hard economic times? You can do it, You are NOT hear by accident! YOu have divine purpose, find out what IT is... It is never too late, start your new life...TODAY, right now, decide who YOU will be, what you stand for and how you will get paid, legally with your morals...in this society...you deserve ALL this world and life has to offer, don't settle don't lay down, stand up and fight for your god given right to be great!!

why me?

hi blog family!!

you see in the headlines today a man at the Discovery channel in MD took hostages--because he felt the programming was bogus...selling products rather than telling us how to be "green"...
what about the mother that threw her toddler in the water....so she could get even with her husband for leaving her??
well I feel sorry for these people and I can tell you how NOT to end up like them.............don't think why me?
Start with why not me and by realizing WE all go through something in life and we have to VALUE life and VALUE others lives along with the universe!!!
If you really understand how to value - then you can see why I feel it is your most important tool for fighting pity parties,  depression, homicidal/suicidal thought and the many other feelings from "things" that happen to us in life.
Often we want to have pity parties or blame others but look inside and value, respect YOU and what was naturally put on this earth..
once you see that vision you can always get through anything.

This lady and man felt hopless and had no regard for others nor themselves. How do you throw a toddler over a bridge>??? SELFISHNESS! how do you take someone hostage who has NOTHING to do with your cause..SELFISHNESS!! Your life is valuable in everyway--to you and to others!!!
 no matter what we go through in this life remember there will be other lives and this is only temperary, you don't need to kill yourself or others, believe me you will go-  on your own when the universe feels you did what you needed to do or that you are not going to act on what you were given to you!!
WOrk on how to destress.. walk, talk, sports, writing, reading, singing, meditating---
.times are hard and people are scared....
 everyone is watching our economy (but the evil 8% who have all the wealth or those who planned well and that's ok --you have to stay focused on staying postive and when you hear stories like this remember while none of us are far removed, this is not the kind of action you take to get attention--the action you take is working on you, finding your gifts and talents that can bring you extra money...and just learn to enjoy you and yours, without all the frills...I think you deserve the best but if you cannot right now or times seem hard, focus on what you DO have and how grateful we are to be amongst the living.... we all are worth something to the universe and each other, respect ALL life and all creatures, especially yourself enough to know times always can get better and you can pull through anyting, if you hold on long enough..... smile, someone is watching...Tanya
