Self Control
The only control you have in this world is the control over yourself. All other control is delusional and at best, temporary.
You may not be able to control a situation or circumstance given to you, but you can control how you react and handle yourself when in the moment of dealing with it.
Can you control what others may do to you, good or bad? Maybe not. However, you can either meet them with kindness or vengeance. That choice is yours to make… And it brings you back to self control…

Koan Of The Day
- How big is your mind?
Is it?
If ”is” is ”is not” and ”is not” is ”is”, then ”is not” is not ”is not” and ”is” is not ”is”. Is it?
“Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn’t learn a lot today, at least we learned a little. And if we didn’t learn a little, at least we didn’t get sick. And if we did get sick, at least we didn’t die. So, let us all be thankful.”

Business Tip of the Day
Own nothing, but control everything. The rich use corporations to keep nothing in their name. It’s a hedge against liability and a type of insurance.
Own nothing, control everything.
This does not equate to greed, so before you go crazy with rebuttals, think. It’s a way to protect your house or car from being seized should a business deal or partnership go bad. It’s a way to remain private, especially in Nevada.
It’s an insurance. Own nothing, but control everything.
During the first quarter of 2012, the Big Five oil companies earned a combined $33.5 billion.

Dear friends, let us love one another, because love is from God, and everyone who loves has been fathered by God and knows God. The…
