There Is Strength In A Herd

I once was asked to speak to a group of teenage boys about the importance of families. I am a high school religion teacher and often speak to teens. But this assignment made me nervous because I knew it was a topic the boys weren't excited to hear.

Minutes before speaking I had an unusual experience. A visual image came to my mind as though someone had turned on a television set in my brain. I clearly saw a scene you might see on the Discovery Channel -- it was a lion scattering a herd of animals.

The image came so powerfully that it surprised me. I wondered if it had anything to do with the talk I was about to give. The understanding quickly came.

When a predator attacks a herd the first job is not the kill. There is strength in the herd and the predator knows it. The first job is to scatter. If the predator can separate the weak from the strong and the young from the powerful they become easy targets.

This was demonstrated powerfully in a National Geographic special I saw about mother elephants (cows) and their babies (calves). Elephant cows are careful to keep their calf within a step or two because danger is always waiting nearby. Lions sometimes stay as close as 20 feet. When the cow charges the lions they easily lope away. The lions understand they can never get to the calf with the powerful mother nearby. So they watch and wait for one of them to make a mistake.

The program then showed of one calf becoming separated from its mother. The lions quickly pounced on it, trying to bring it down and kill it. Somehow this lucky calf was able to escape and return to the safety of its mother.

We live in a society now filled with children not so lucky. Predators have successfully scattered and separated families. Children have become easy targets. These attacks are devastating not only families but entire societies.

In his book, The Broken Hearth, former US Secretary of Education William H. Bennett stated:

"It is fashionable these days to say and to believe that matters like divorce, illegitimacy, cohabitation, and single-parenting are "private" matters that are not the business of the wider community. To which I would respond: There are few matters of more profound public consequence than the condition of marriage and families. Most of our social pathologies -- crime, imprisonment rates, welfare, educational underachievement, alcohol and drug abuse, suicide, depression, sexually-transmitted diseases -- are manifestations, direct and indirect, of the crack-up of the modern American family."

What is the answer? Former Secretary of State Colin Powell said it well:

"We either build our children or we build more jails. Time to stop building jails. Our children are not the problem, they are our future. If you want young people to become contributing citizens and not convicts, then early in life we must give them the character and the competence they need to succeed in this exciting new world. It begins in the home with caring, loving parents and family members who pass on the virtues of past generations" (GOP National Convention, July 31, 2000).

It begins with parents. We have the responsibility to stand close to our children, to make time for them, to love them, to teach them. If we do not they will become victims to the serious predators that now surround them.

There is strength in a herd.

A Proven Formula For Change; Success From Cash Leveraging

Is there any proven formula for success in a work from home opportunity, or is it just dumb luck?

Often the only thing lacking in a quest for success is the failure to change. Change, is defined in Webster's as: to cause to become different; alter; transform; convert or to undergo a variation. Change can also be defined as making or becoming distinctly different, even better yet, a radical transmutation of character. American psychologist and philosopher William James once said: "Human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives".

Now with the above in mind, let's take a look at the formula for change; D x V + F > R = S. Well now that looks like a good formula for change, we should all just go out and put it into practice. Oh, almost forgot… those are just letters and you don't even know what they mean. Here's how the formula breaks down. Dissatisfaction times Vision plus First Steps is greater than Resistance equals Success.

Let's look at the simple terminology for each component in the formula:

Our Dissatisfaction – generally our level of satisfaction with the boundaries of our current situation.

Our Vision – the idea or conception of how things could be if change takes place.

The First Steps – the actions needed to enact the desired change.

Our Resistance – defined as the comfort zone that encompasses the current situation we find ourselves in.

Success – the bottom line; defined as a favorable or satisfactory outcome or result that we are trying to achieve.

With the above formula and definition in mind let's look at a fictitious case study and we'll name our case study "Bob". Remember this case study is only mythical and relates to no known person, place or thing. If there is a resemblance to a given situation it is only by pure chance.

Bob, although making a living at his 9 to 5 J.O.B (defined as: Just Over Broke) really has become dissatisfied with his lifestyle. He feels that the walls are closing in and even though he has tried, he just can't seem to get ahead. He has tried home business opportunities galore; MLM, Direct Sales, Lotions Potions and Notions. If it was a work from home opportunity, he's tried it. Most often with zero success and finding himself no better off for all of his efforts. But Bob has a vision. His dissatisfaction with the boundaries he fines himself in is multiplying his vision for success. Incidentally, Bob's vision for success is having extra income to enjoy the time freedom his success will afford him.

Bob was looking for an entirely new opportunity and has found it, Cash Leveraging. Defined as a Cash Gifting program Bob is stepping outside of his comfort zone and thinking outside of his box of resistance. Although Cash Gifting has been around for quite some time it in new to Bob. Bob is taking the first steps to rid himself of his current situation by looking at a work from home opportunity he hasn't tried before. After a very short time in his new work at home Cash Gifting opportunity Bob has achieved the success he has been striving for by using the formula.

Bob has developed a new catch phrase that he has been seen telling everyone he comes in contact with; "If you do today what you did yesterday will you be where you want to be tomorrow"? Bob's story ends happily! He quit his J.O.B., he's spending much more time with his family and friends and his handicap on the golf course has dropped 10 strokes in a very short time. It seems Bob has come upon the proper formula for change.

God Bless and Always Remember To Make It A Great Day!!
