Welcome to "Inspiration for your day"

Happy new year 2012.  May you make many of your dreams come true this year.

My aim in this blog is to inspire you.  I think that we all need to be inspired daily in this fast paced world where we tend to lose sight of what we work for and who we work for.

Beautiful Art

     This blog is for personal development and it's intended for

those who can think and are willing to challenge themselves and change for the better. The purpose of this blog is to offer you as many tools as possible for self improvement by sharing what has worked for me and many    others. What could be more inspiring than that?

    I'm using Blogger as my platform to share my posts with you.  As you know, Blogger is a free service.  But don't let the word "free" fool you. Some may think that "free" means low quality or no quality at all.  As you navigate "Inspiration for your day", you will discover rich inspirational and voluminous content that you may not easily find elsewhere on the net. This is refreshing.  As a result, Google has rewarded me by giving this blog Page one Rank for many keywords.  You may actually find this blog ranking number one!  It wasn't easy to achieve it less than one year. But don't take my word for it:

Nature never ceases to inspire me

"When a culture has fallen totally away from spiritual pursuits into materialism, one must begin by demonstrating they are each a soul, not a material animal. From this realization of their own religious nature individuals can again come to an awareness of God and become more themselves.


Medicine, psychiatry and psychology “solved” the whole problem of “human nature” simply by dumping it into the classification of material nature—body, brain, force. As they politically insist on monopoly and use social and political propaganda to enforce their monopoly, they debar actual search for real answers to human nature.
A society gets what it concentrates upon. By concentrating on spiritual values instead of criminality a new day may yet dawn for man."

L. Ron Hubbard Founder of Scientology Religion

Get started below by clicking on this great series of inspirational videos:

    This blog It is intended for smart people, for those who do make a difference in current affairs, their lives and that of others.  It is dedicated to the able, the artist, the mover and shaker and anyone who has made contributions to this world and made it spin a bit better.  You are therefore my inspiration!


    You will see me mention throughout this blog that writing is my passion.  But writing for the sake of writing is senseless.  My writing is intended to inspire you.  It will be up to you then to take action through whatever motivates you.  You will then be happier as you will give your life more meaning.

These are some of the areas in which you can grow through self improvement:

Persistence and courage: Both terms are actually interchangeable, without persistence and courage, few of us succeed.  It is one of the ingredients of success, perhaps the main one.


Spiritual awareness and advancement:  Yes, there is a lot more to you than just a meat body. I will not attempt to prove it to you.  This is something you will discover in your journey for your self. I won't try to impose my religious beliefs on you, but will share with you what I've used to grow spiritually. You may want to look into this post: "Who are you really?"


Better physical health and stamina:  True strength comes from within.  Being inspired and staying inspired can proof you up against disease or physical ills. I'm not a Doctor, but you will find that many of these posts can help you achieve a better physical state.


Intelligence:  No. I'm not going to give you "brain tests".  Although the brain has something to do with
the relay of information, you will find that intelligence can be improved simply by following some tips I give you.  Click on "How to increase your I.Q." to find out more    
                                                     

Relationships: We live in a world where we're not alone.  Over six billion people share the same globe.  Being in good harmony with your fellow man is a must to good survival. You can have better relationships at work, the family, your spouse and your friends. Learn "How to choose your people".

Money:  Money is a hot issue, especially in today's world economy.  But it is possible to earn a lot more money than you are making now, if that is a problem to you. I've had many visits to "How to make tons of money".  I suggest you follow that link.

Truth:  Perceive things without veils of confusion or false information.  The world is full of false data, false information.  There are too many false gurus, too many supposed "solutions" that create more problems.  Learn to see and think for yourself:  "If it isn't true for you, it isn't true." LRH.  This is just one post that covers the subject of truth:  "The bliss of ignorance."


I will quote many philosophers, mainly L Ron Hubbard, founder of Dianetics and Scientology. If you don't know much about these subjects, I have plenty of links throughout my posts so that you can find out more. If you are against L.R.H., Scientology or Dianetics, too bad.  You should take another look and get rid of false information you may have on the subjects. Again, the purpose of this blog is:

                   "For personal development and it's intended for those who can think and are

                     willing to challenge themselves and change for the better. "  

                                           
    If you don't reach (have interest) for Dianetics or Scientology, fine.  But at least I give you the information for you to look up the data and decide for yourself.  I'm sure you will find the information useful as millions have throughout the world.   Learning and applying both subjects takes hard work and constant application to say the least.  I've found that, one for one, those who claim "it doesn't work" haven't made an honest effort to learn or apply them.  When I've listened to other sources of "truth" or "workable technology" and applied these, knowing better, I've had a tough time of it.

  How to read this blog 

    There is a lot of information on this site.  Don't try to take it all in at once.  The many posts, comments and outbound links would make up several books of inspirational materials.  I've included thumbnails of posts on the right side of the page.  By just clicking on each corresponding thumbnail,  you'll be redirected to the desired post.  As you can see, I also have categories such as: "Inspirational", "How to Series", "Money", etc. Clicking each category will bring up all related posts.  You can also use the search box on the top right of this blog.



    Look up your words:   If the material seems confusing to you as you read on, or you just can't seem to grasp it, there will be a word just earlier that you didn't fully understand.  Look up the word in the context being used in a good dictionary or online.  By making a few sentences with it, you'll now grasp the meaning of the word.  Reread the text and you'll see that it makes sense now.  Study Technology is a big subject in Dianetics and Scientology.   It helps us to understand any subject, no matter how complicated it seems at first.  It will open up your understanding of many things that you may have thought you couldn't understand before.

Study Technology is completely non religious in nature.  I'm sharing it with you because I know it will be vital in any area of life or endeavor.


    Here's a useful link:  looking up words and Study Technology



    I invite you to bookmark this blog.  You will want to come back to it..  you can also follow it. It is rich of inspirational materials: "the food for the soul".

Yes, I kept the picture picture of Rocky Balboa which, at a glance,  describes well how we all would always like to feel

Rocky's inspiring workout

     
If most of us could feel that way all of the time, life would be wonderful indeed. But life is not "designed" that way. It has its ups and downs. Sometimes it seems like more "downs" than "ups". Is there anything that we can do to increase our chances of just being happier more often? Having better "luck"? Or, is destiny predetermined and "there's really nothing we can do about it?


    I think that as you navigate through my blog, you will have the answer to these and many other questions that you may have. I believe that the human spirit is unlike any other and has a very special place in this planet. Some of us discover that early in life and become filled with purpose and realize it early. Others, even though they know theirs, bloom later and become a true source of inspiration. Examples of these are "late bloomers" such as Leonardo da Vinci, Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Edison. I'm sure you can come up with more names.


    My point is that "It is never too late".  Even though it's a cliche it's still true and will hold true till the "end of time". I will do my best to bring you as much inspiration as you are willing to have from me.

How we get inspired:

    A lot of us get inspired by just living life and watching the world around us. Others do  this,  and read books, blogs, articles or just watch "Feel good movies". I like all of the above. I think that the best ways to get inspired are living a good life and mingling with similar minds that always seem to have something good to say, no matter how adverse their situation maybe. Sharing with others your wisdom can also be very gratifying. I love doing the latter. If I can positively affect another life and not just my own, I get an incredibly feel good reward.

Money can open the door to many opportunities

About money: It is a challenge in this workaday world to stay ahead and just keep up with your family, finances and work. During tough economical times a quick "pick me up" can be as simple as looking up inspirational material on the internet, buying a book on the subject or just talking to your favorite friend. "Money is not everything", many would seem to say. And they're right. But money opens the door to many opportunities and keeps those nagging bills down and the belly happy. With an empty stomach few are happy. In this blog you may even find the inspiration that you've needed to make more money--- all for free.


    Money should be looked at as a reward and a means to an end. Money is a unit of exchange and is usually received only after a good or a service is satisfactorily delivered. Only the criminal minds look for a quick or a free buck. In the long run, there is no such thing. Most criminals wind up in jail or worse: stoned to death. Having the proper mindset only comes when one finds the inspiration within (or without) and decides and acts to produce better at what one does. A poor product = poor money; a mediocre product= mediocre money; a superior product= abundant money.


    Don't get me wrong. You may have already plenty of money and you could care less. But this blog is mostly geared for the average Joe who is faced every morning with having to go to work and bring home the bacon. Sometimes such is arduous to do, especially when one is burdened with a dead end job and seemingly no way out.

There is always a way out

    But the mapping of such a route comes from within. No guide, no teacher, no mentor will ever be as wise as an inspired you. I hate to break it to you, but all of the happiness you'll ever have comes from you. This a paraphrase borrowed from the works of  L Ron Hubbard.

 L. Ron Hubbard

Scientology and I

     I have been studying Scientology for more than two decades. Not all of my works are based on it, although I must admit that Mr. Hubbard and his writings have been a continuous inspiration. Where possible, I'll give you a reference link. It's better to go straight to the source of information to maintain it free of alterations. Where I am the source of the information I give you, I'll make it clear. I'm not shy about taking full credit for it, otherwise I'll either paraphrase or quote.


    Quite frankly, there is very little I could add to Mr. Hubbard's works.  As far as I can see, this stellar researcher and lover of truth left very little if anything uncovered in the field of philosophy and many others for that matter.  He was an advent researcher and lived life to the fullest. He wasn't afraid to tell it like it is. Many envied him and attacked him out of plain ignorance or malice.  After all, his life's work has changed people's lives by giving them a way out of misery and pain. Even so, he kept going and fully developed a route to enlightenment and total freedom.  It's called:  "The bridge to total freedom".


    My "job" as the writer of this blog is to share the many wins that I and others have had as  followers and practitioners of Dianetics and Scientology.  I will also add my own views on the subjects as well as inspire you with unique articles not found anywhere else on the web.




    If you don't know much about Scientology and want to find out more about it, just follow the links I give you. If you have fixed or negative ideas about it, I suggest you still follow the links and find out for yourself what it's all about. Find out who is behind the attacks. Unfortunately there are way too many wrong opinions and pundits out there. Realize that they are not the source of the information on the subject, just like I'm not. I will strive to keep my views on the subject objective. Forgive me if I get a bit "overenthusiastic" at times. That is my nature. I'm usually a very inspired fellow  and love to inspire others.


    I can tell you without hesitation that Scientology and Dianetics require hard, serious and earnest study.  Any worthwhile study is not devoid of a little "blood sweat and tears".  I can't tell you that all has been honky dory in my life.  Serious study and application of what I have learned has helped me to pull through many difficult situations.  I have shared this knowledge with others and they too have had much success.  But it doesn't come without hard work and dedication to say the least.  There will be many who wish that some magic hand would come out of the page and hand them with one simple wish the key to happiness. That only happens in children's fables.  But if such were possible, I'd be the first one to share it with you.  Believe me. I'm not one to have to work harder than I have to.  Yet I do.  That seems to be the nature of any worthwhile pursuit.

This blog is content rich

    I'm going to leave this introductory page as the Home Page. Therefore, it will be somewhat unchanging. Google doesn't appreciate, in my opinion, ever changing Home Pages.  But you will find rich inspirational content in various posts. I've lost count how many I've added.  This blog has a lot of material about inspirational or motivational subjects.  Some postings may surprise you.  You may even find some articles controversial. I suggest you use the search box on the top right hand corner of the page.  Oh...and I've been getting lots of comments from readers lately. These are rich and hot (not an overstatement).  Check these out as you will find more content and more links to other super sites.

Many posts about one single subject

    For those inspirational articles that have many comments such as "How to increase your I.Q"., I'm going to be making a Series out of it.  I realized after writing it that this subject is a very broad one with lots of information. One posting doesn't do it justice. Inspiration can happen with one sentence or just one phrase, but oftentimes it requires a much deeper discussion. Let me know what you think about that.
I may also delete certain posts that I don't find relevant to our inspirational purposes as time goes by.  Remember, this blog evolves.

More benefits from this blog

    You can use these inspirational articles to help  yourself, your family, friends, associates and even those in the workplace. Wherever possible I'll give you links to other incredible sites for even more inspirational materials. You can make your own contributions by commenting.  I will be adding a comments box, instead of the "pop up" form.  I think readers like the box better.  For now, just click on "Post a comment" in the comments section below and a box will appear. There you can comment as much as you like. I don't use the comments moderation for this site.  So please be kind and don't add comments of offensive nature. This is a clean site. No spamming please.  It will be detected and deleted.

Recommended browser

    Not all browsers display this blog correctly.  I'm not sure why.  My  "webmaster" skills haven't figured out what the bug is.  When you use Explorer, a few things happen: It may not let you navigate the pages, comment correctly, giving you SSL warnings;  or the posts, pages and comments may not display correctly.
I browse with Mozilla Firefox.  I like it because I navigate pages faster and can open multiple tabs without having to minimize or maximize.  With Explorer you are allowed  to maximize (get full view of page) only once (the last tab you have opened).  Firefox will "remember" what you want to do do and will have all the tabs you opened at the top of the page. I like that.  Such allows me to compose my posts faster. I can zigzag back and forth.


    Therefore, I suggest you download Mozilla Firefox to get the most from all these pages.  It's free and offers great internet security.  Here's the link: Mozilla Firefox Free Download .

Please report problems

    I started using Blogger in a Draft, which will allow me to add pages to "Inspiration for your day". You will find many of my articles in "earlier posts". You can go ahead and click on those. I will be adding pages and relevant information such as subjects and favorite authors and quotes. If you find this blog difficult to navigate,  too confusing, slow to load, etc. Let me know and I'll work to fix the bugs.  I'm always looking for ways to improve it for your benefit.

I welcome your comments. Click Here


    Now that I have formulated the purpose of this blog you now have a direction with it.  May you always be true to your goals and most importantly reach them.


And may you always be inspired!


    I continuously post.  Look for my new posts on the side bar.


    Have a great day,


    Carlos
