Creating a “TRUE” Brand

Thursday, February 5th, 2009

I was thinking tonight about “Branding”.  Like “Pepsi” or “Disney”… It takes years of people “Liking” what you have to offer and knowing they will not be disappointed in the quality of service or product to create a memorable “Brand Name”.  Alot of stamina, integrity, blood, sweat and tears goes into a “True Brand”.  I got to thinking about all the “Flash” in the world today.  We are bombarded with “Brands” all the time and they are changing so fast and going Bankrupt and having scandals of Financial Ruin or Fraud that we don’t even really BELIEVE in a BRAND anymore!  We still however,  tend to expect certain things from “Brands” we have grown accustomed to until shown otherwise.

I get so many emails everyday with people “Branding” themselves that I am constantly thinking that I am not branding myself good enough or fast enough and thinking I am going to get left behind.  God keeps slowing me down enough though so I can see what is happening beneath the surface.  A “TRUE” brand is being formed from the depths of my soul and this takes TIME along with alot of determination and HARD work.   I don’t get a paycheck to show I have been working or money to reward myself with something for working, all I can do is keep working and basking in the presence of KNOWING that I am on a TRUE path and building a TRUE Brand for myself.

I have joined a few popular Social Networks only to realize all they are is a place for people to advertise.  I guess maybe this is a good thing for some but I get tired of only seeing peoples links to “Splash Pages” and the promise of getting “RICH”!  There are some people who are genuinely there to help and to CONNECT but for the most part I just see a sea of endless people trying to get on the “Band Wagon” of “Internet Wealth. I’m not saying ALL Social Networks are this way and I know there are great Social Networks out there and I am a member of some.  ;)

I am also noticing that some of these Networks were busy for a few months but I think other people experienced the same “Let Down” as I did and backed off.  I have felt pressured that maybe I am being to critical and paranoid once again and I am going to miss “The Boat” on getting Rich, but I have come to the conclusion that, “the ship” is not coming in for the majority of people that are jumping into these programs etc. thinking that it is their path to the “End of the Rainbowand even if it does, it is not “True Wealth” anymore than a “Splash Page” is a “True Brand”.

True Wealth comes from KNOWING you are on the right path, having “Inner Peace” and a sense of being connected to the Universe.  True Wealth includes money but that is not the most important aspect.  The most important aspect of TRUE WEALTH is WISDOM which brings with it LOVE, PATIENCE, UNDERSTANDING, COMPASSION, EMPATHY, and a KNOWLEDGE of how to require wealth or money.  When you get to this stage in your Journey for Wealth, then you will have created a “True Brand” for yourself and you will be “Truly Blessed” – not just a “Splash In the Pool of Greed”.

Christ is not a Dictator!

Sunday, November 30th, 2008

I know I am suppose to stay positive and only have “GOOD” thoughts but…. I am finding it hard to keep quiet any longer about how people seem to think if other people do not follow the same path or road that they do – they are WRONG and should be punished!   It seems like our Country is getting more and more like a Dictatorship with every new President… Every since the “War on Drugs” was announced our country has become divided!  The “War on Drugs” has put so many innocent “Good People” in prison and separated parents from their children it is to me VERY SAD!!!  I guess there is usually something to divide us – after all, isn’t that the tactic of destruction?  Divide and conquer!   What is so wrong with people using an herb to relax – Alcohol is acceptable and causes so much more destruction… People that smoke marijuana usually get mellow not aggressive – they do not beat their wives or children into submission, cause Bar room fights or fights anywhere for that matter, they usually just walk away from a fight if at all possible and just want to focus on something “GOOD or “ENLIGHTENING”  etc.  It just seems to me like we are living in the Roman times where the big BULLIES beat the peasants into submission and shame.

Granted – some drug dealers need to be dealt with and some Lifestyles pertaining to drugs are not good, but Alcohol, Gambling, Prostitution, Striptease, Topless Bars etc. are not very healthy lifestyles either and destroy many many lives – children included – and I know alot of “Law Abiding Citizen’s” including those that ENFORCE the “LAW” that frequent places like this and partake in Alcohol and prescripton drugs!  It has to do with the “Heart”.  Just because a person does drugs does not make them a “Bad Person”.  I know people that are “Bad People” and they live by the BOOK!  The “War on Drugs” is just a way for the Government to “Control” those that it wants to “Control”.  It turns people against each other because they are filled with propaganda and blind to the True Nature of a fellow Human Being with a “Good Heart”. 

I watched the documentary about Tommy Chong getting busted for his Online Bong Business.  They raided his house at 6:00 AM with a SWAT TEAM, Dogs and several policeman!  Isn’t that just a tad bit OVERKILL!!!  He even has a Prescription for Marijuana!  It just seems to me their are more important things our police could be doing instead of HARASSING citizens that are not causing problems or hurting anyone.

My husband gets HARASSED all the time by the police for no reason…  Why?!?!  They pull him over, unbuckle their guns and have their hands ready to pull them out and even handcuff him for NO REASON!  He gets their badge numbers and they get written up because he has done nothing wrong!  What is our country turning into?!?!  I am afraid to drive anymore – at least in our town, because I know the police will pull me over for no reason and it will cause my Blood Pressure to explode and my Fibromyalgia will flare up etc.  That is just plain WRONG!

I was a Bush supporter because I wanted to get some Morals back in the Whitehouse.  I have since re-evaluated my thinking!  The so called Patriot Act has only given the police more power to harass innocent people.  I feel we do need to beef up our countries security but lets have a little common sense and decency about it!

We had Detectives driving by our house for several days or weeks and following my husband all over town and even pulled into the drive-way one day and questioned him and some guys that were working with him in the garage.  They thought we were terrorists!  COME ON!!! 

It is starting to remind me of the “Witch Hunts” back in the 50’s for communists!  If our country is FREE what is all this PARAN0IA about?  The Government is suppose to be FOR THE PEOPLE” not TO CONTROL THE PEOPLE!!!

Christ did not CONTROL people… Satan wanted to do that and guaranteed God that he could bring EVERYONE back home – but God chose to send Jesus because he wanted us to have “FREE AGENCY” and “Choose” for ourselves.  Since our country is founded on the principles of the Bible – I think it is time the Government take a good look at how they are handling our so called “FREEDOM”.

BTW – I don’t take posting this lightly…
