Teaching The Game of Life – The Vulnerability of Your Teeth

Welcome. We are getting closer to launching our special offer for my book The Doorway – To Finding Your Purpose In Life. This week we had our brilliant design lady, Erin, at The Turning Mill design the book cover for The Doorway. It is beautiful and we will share it with you as soon as the special offer page is completed. Our awesome tech guru, Shane, is working on putting the page together for the special offer.

We had a comment on last week’s blog that I wrote about teaching your children to drive and that neither one of my children have had an accident. This lady commented that she had taught her daughter to drive in a similar way, except she used an industrial park instead of a mall. And the wonderful thing is her daughter is in her 30’s and she has also never had an accident. Lady Linda and I love to hear comments on my blogs, so please share anything you would like with us.

Now for this week’s story:

One of the things that I have always been able to do is to see value in other people. Because of this when I was a young boy I liked to hang out with older people. I figured that they had wisdom that comes with time and I could save time by learning this wisdom from them. The reason I am writing this blog series, Teaching The Game of Life, is to pass on some of the knowledge I have accumulated during my 62 years to everyone.

The Vulnerability of Your Teeth – Today I want to tell you what you need to know and they don’t tell you about your teeth. We all know that you only get one set of adult permanent teeth. As I have gone through life, I have taken extremely good care of my teeth. However, because I didn’t know how vulnerable my teeth are, I have had some problems.

#1 – As a child I didn’t know how easy it is to chip my teeth. One day I was playing with a walky-talky that had an antenna that pulled out. Well, instead of using my hand, I pulled it out with my front teeth, chipping one of them. Luckily it was a small chip and the dentist was able to grind it out. So take care of your teeth and teach the children how easy it is to damage your teeth by using them for things they are not meant for.

Teaching The Game of Life – Learning To Drive

Welcome. As we told you we are changing the name of my book to The Doorway. The sub-title that we are testing is To Finding Your Purpose In Life. Our tech guru Shane is working on the webpage for our special offer. We will be announcing what that special offer is soon. So keep an eye out for the special offer of The Doorway – To Finding Your Purpose In Life.

We also wanted to give a shout out to Elizabeth Miles of March Forth Media Company. I was on her The Power To Pivot podcast in February and she has since become a friend and a mentor. If you need anyone to help you with coaching, marketing, and/or publishing of your book, contact her at www.marchforthmediacompany.com

We would give out Shane’s information also, but at this time we don’t believe he is accepting new clients. If we find out that is he accepting new clients we will let you know.

Now for this week’s story:

Learning to Drive – One of the scariest times in a parent or guardian’s life is when our kids first start to drive. One of the reasons for this is our kids are excited to do something they have never done before. Because they are so young and inexperienced, this excitement of doing something new is exacerbated.

As an inventor and parent, my question was, “how can I make this situation safer for my kids?” The answer I came up with, was to take the excitement out of doing something new by teaching the kids to drive as soon as they were physically big enough. Obviously they had to be able to reach the pedals and see over the steering wheel.

Teaching The Game of Life – teaching kids about finances

Hello. Hope everyone is doing well this week. I greatly appreciate the people that are following my blog. With everything that has to be done to market a book, time can get away from us very easily. So sometimes we will be a day or two late with the blog and a couple of times we haven’t posted a weekly blog. I just wanted to let you know that and also let you know how much we appreciate your support.

As we told you we have been testing different names and subtitles with our ads. Once we determine the subtitle of The Doorway we are going to have a special offer, which we will let you know about once it is ready. Stay tuned.

Now for this week’s story:

Bills and Credit Cards – When I graduated from high school and started making my way in the world, I had no idea what I was doing. For this reason I got myself in financial problems early on.

When I was older I was thinking back on those days, and as an inventor I asked the question, “Why did no one teach me and my fellow students how to handle bills?” Although it should have been taught in school, first and foremost it is the parents’ responsibility to teach their children how to survive. Because of this my wife Deb and I decided we were going to teach our kids how to handle bills.

She and I thought about it for awhile. How should we go about teaching how to pay bills and how to be responsible with money? We decided the best way to teach them was to have them pay bills just like mom and dad does.

Teaching The Game of Life – Feet – What Did our Ancestors do to take care of them

Welcome! Hope everyone had a great Easter and Passover. We are celebrating Easter this weekend with our family.

Promoting You’re Amazing And I’ll Prove It! has been incredibly challenging. Although it has been thrilling to find how many people have come out of the woodwork to help us on our journey, it has been a very long one. But recently we met Elizabeth Miles through her Power to Pivot podcast. In talking to her, she suggested that we change the name of the book. Elizabeth didn’t give us any suggestions on what to change it to, but her reasoning behind it made sense. So we got out what used to be You’re Amazing and told ourselves that the title must be in here somewhere.

As the book is laid out now, just a few pages from the front there is a door with the words on it, The Doorway To Knowledge and Freedom. Because of this, the new title of the book is The Doorway. We are still playing with the subtitle.

Now for this week’s story:

What Did Our Ancestors do to Take Care of Their Feet – One of the things that we tend to ignore until we finally have problems with them is our feet. If we do not take care of them as we age we can start to get fungus growing under our toenails. Once this fungus starts growing, it can be difficult to get rid of. If you go to the doctor, they will tell you to use some ridiculously expensive medical ointment.

As an inventor and an amateur historian the question I have is, “What did our ancestors do for foot fungus before this ridiculously expensive medical ointment was available?” I am not a doctor, so I can’t tell you this is something you should do, but I can tell you what our ancestors did and what I do for foot fungus.

I WAS DOUBTING MY FAITH

Hi there! Last week was a crazy week and I apologize for not being in touch. Last week’s craziness and hassles brought about, let’s say a revelation. Throughout the journey of writing my book and marketing my book, I have been looking for just the right title. Well I believe that we have come up with the one – we are testing it now in our ads – The title is The Doorway – Simple Stories To Unlock Your Life.

We are working on some changes to the website and my YouTube channel that have been recommended to us so we will be busy on that. We are also checking into some other formats to get involved in with the book and the videos.

Now for this week’s story:

Recently with the COVID-19 and the isolation, along with the constant bombardment the media gives us that Americans are bad, for the first time in my life I started to doubt my faith. I have told you in the past I am an extremely spiritual man. My belief system lies very close to that of the American Indians. I know that there are alternate dimensions.

These dimensions are spirit worlds, as well as our dimension, being a spirit world. After all, there are 7 billion of us, and that is just people. Interestingly enough science has proved that there is more than one dimension. These dimensions affect one another, which is exactly what the American Indians believed. They also believed that there were bad spirits and good spirits, which science through string theory tells us is the case – positive-negative.

Anyway, I digress, I’ve started to doubt my own faith and my faith is unbelievably strong. I also know that the vast majority of people are good. With the isolation and the media telling us how bad we are, I’ve really been struggling to see the good in humanity for the first time ever. And yet there are two rules that govern good and bad.

Religion, as well as science, tells us that if you do good things, good things tend to happen, if you do bad things, bad things tend to happen. Science through String Theory tells us that if we do good things we raise our positive vibration, which is actually a melody – we change our own music – the aura that we give off. If we do bad things, bad things tend to happen. So if you don’t want bad things to be chasing you, remember that goodness does pay and evil pays a price.

Case in point, a man recently hired me to drive him to do errands. I was told this man was a very generous man and that he would treat me right. At the same time, I was told that he had other drivers that he didn’t like so he wasn’t going to use them anymore. I drove this man for 3 hours to different locations and then he didn’t pay me, he got out of the car and just basically ran away.

I will also show you how you can overcome your hardships too in a way that makes you feel good to be alive! If you know of anyone who needs to Unlock Their Life, send me a message and I will contact them once the coaching page is set up.

Now for this week’s story:

America’s Compassion – Part 3

Continuing from last week 3-10-21 –

So other civilizations had slavery for no less than one hundred years. Others had it for hundreds of years. Still others had slavery for thousands of years and still have it.

So, how does America’s record of slavery stack up against the others? After all our kids are being taught by our government that America is the worst ever and needs to be destroyed.

Only 4 years after America’s birth some of the colonies were already abolishing slavery. In 1794 only 18 years after her birth, the first of a series of Slave Trade Acts were passed by the Congress of the United States of America. In 1807, 31 years after America’s birth, the final Slave Trade Act was passed by Congress. The act abolished the importing of slaves from other countries. Remember, when the series of Slave Trade Acts were started, America was only 18 years old.

America is not responsible for any slavery before she was born. Many of our founding fathers fought to have slavery abolished in the founding documents. Although they were initially unable to do away with it at our birth, they were able to write documents that would not let slavery expand.

The Southern Democrats, who wanted slavery at all cost, told Lincoln they were going to secede from the Union. Lincoln said, “Not so fast! You are not allowed to secede.” The Southern Democrats said, “The US Constitution says we can leave.” Lincoln told them, “You’re Wrong! The US Constitution says, a state can secede from the Union if their Constitutional rights are being trampled on. Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that anyone is allowed to expand slavery, which means your Constitutional rights have not been trampled on.”

America’s Compassion – Part 2

Hi! Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying a little bit warmer weather – a peek at spring. Our tech guru Shane has talked to me about a new avenue – life coaching via phone, Zoom and others. We are in the process of setting it all up and will let you know more about it in the coming weeks.

As we told you last week, my appearance on The Power To Pivot podcast will go live on March 16. This podcast can be found on Anchor, Apple, Spotify, Radiopublic and Audible. Check her podcasts out, she has a lot of helpful information. Thanks Elizabeth. She will send us a link which we will share with you when we have it.

Now for this week’s story:

America’s Compassion – Part 2

Continuing from last week 3-3-21 –

#1 – It makes sense that if we are working with different information we would invent something totally different. #2 – Is actually part of one, because if the source we are receiving our information from is giving us false or only partial information, we would also invent something totally different from the person who had all the factual information. Annnnd, this is a huge AND, and if someone is using false or only part of the information, whatever they are trying to invent will never work!

Still working with #2, if the person or persons (the giver) giving the false or partial information knows how to get the information in without the receiver questioning, the giver can get the receiver to make the decision they want them to make. At which point the receiver will also never invent a machine or world that will work.

With all the above being said, I as an inventor have more questions. How do we as individuals know when the information is complete and factual? And, how do we know if someone is trying to manipulate our decision?

The answer to both questions starts with the knowledge you have about how your own brain works. I find it ironic that our brain is the most marvelous computer ever created and yet almost none of us know how to program it.

The programming of a computer is perhaps the most important part. If it is not programmed correctly, then it will never perform the way you want it to. The programming of your own brain should be done by you and you alone. It is also so easy, that if you don’t know how it is done someone else can easily program it for you.

AMERICA’S COMPASSION – PART 1

Welcome. We have a few things to share with you today. I was a guest on an awesome podcast on Friday. The name of the podcast is The Power To Pivot and the host is Elizabeth Miles. We had such a great time and we feel like we have found a kindred spirit in Elizabeth. We talked about everything from spirituality to science and how it ties in with You’re Amazing And I’ll Prove It!

The Power to Pivot is a podcast where Elizabeth and her guests share inspiring stories, resources, tips, and fun ideas to help YOU pivot into new ideas, new goals, and new dreams for your own life. This podcast can be found on Anchor, Apple, Spotify, Radiopublic and Audible. Check her podcasts out, she has a lot of helpful information. My interview will go live on March 16 just in time for St. Patrick’s Day. Thanks Elizabeth.

The new project that our tech guru, Lady Linda and myself are creating is a coaching program where I will via phone and/or Zoom, etc. be a live coach for individuals who want to better their lives. Once we get the system set up we will let you know.

I have recorded some more videos for my YouTube channel which will be posted shortly. The latest videos talk about how in the late 60’s, early 70’s, the left wing fought back against the corrupt right wing and how today the right wing can fight back against the corrupt left wing. Amazon has actually banned six Dr. Seuss books. This madness of telling us what we can and cannot do has to stop! This series is about how we can fight it.

Now for this week’s story:

America’s Compassion – Part 1

My life has taught me that people are good! (I tell you the story of how I learned people are good in my book You’re Amazing And I’ll Prove It! – Simple Analogies to Unlock Your Life!) As you know, I’m an inventor and one of the things inventors do is ask questions. People are good, that’s a fact. So, my question is, why are we making such different decisions? In other words, why are good people making the decisions they are making when we all want the best for each other? I have asked myself this question for many years.

Because I am an inventor, I learn things slowwwwly! This is because I learn thoroughly! I want to know every detail. I want to know every part from the most important part right down to the washer that goes on a bolt. I want to know everything that can happen with this particular design (machine, system, etc.). I want to know everything that can happen because if it can happen, eventually it will happen.

So, the answer to my question, why are good people making such different decisions is two-fold. #1 – We are working with different information and #2 – the way that each of us receives the information.

Learn The Game of Life – Cigarettes – Learn How Easy It Is To Never Start Smoking

How is everyone? We know that Texas has been having a difficult time. We send our prayers out to them. Our tech guru Shane has some new ideas for the youreamazingandillproveit.com website, so keep your eye out for that. Take care and stay safe.

Now for this week’s story:

One of the things that I have always been able to do is to see value in other people. Because of this when I was a young boy I liked to hang out with older people. I figured that they had wisdom that comes with time and I could save time by learning this wisdom from them. The reason I am writing this blog series, Learn The Game of Life, is to pass on some of the knowledge I have accumulated during my 62 years to everyone.

Cigarettes – Learn How Easy it is to Never Start Smoking – One of the things I learned from older people is to never start smoking. The way I learned this was for me to actually go around to older smokers. I asked them “if you could do life over would you start smoking again”? Over a number of years, during my youth, I must have asked hundreds of older smokers. Every last one of them, without hesitation said “NO!” So I figured if they wished they never started smoking and would not do it again, why should I start.

Learn The Game of Life – Stretching/Flexibility

Welcome! This week’s Learn The Game of Life story is about stretching and keeping your flexibility. I know that many of us, no matter how old you are, can use this information, especially with all the snow and ice. I am sure that many of you are shoveling, having to clean off your roofs, etc. and stretching is extremely important to keep your flexibility. You can do it while you are watching television or listening to music and some stretching every day will help you after you have shoveled that long driveway or cleaned a foot of snow off your roof. Be safe in the storms.

Now for this week’s story:

One of the things that I have always been able to do is to see value in other people. Because of this when I was a young boy I liked to hang out with older people. I figured that they had wisdom that comes with time and I could save time by learning this wisdom from them. The reason I am writing this blog series, Learn The Game of Life, is to pass on some of the knowledge I have accumulated during my 62 years to everyone.

Stretching/flexibility – One of the lessons I learned from older people when I was young was to keep my flexibility. Without flexibility our bodies become more and more brittle. Until the day will come when you step wrong, pick something up wrong, or fall. When this happens, instead of your body’s flexibility helping to protect you, a muscle or a ligament will tear. You may also break a bone, such as a hip.

You don’t have to go crazy stretching, but you should do some. The older people who were in their eighties did some light stretching every day. There are so many ways to stretch properly that I can’t possibly put them all in here. I would recommend you go to a website that features stretching.

If you find this information valuable, please pass it on to your loved one. This way you can help them protect themselves from injuries that happen because of lack of flexibility. Also if you would forward this message, together we can help millions of people become more flexible and escape injury.

You’re Amazing And I’ll Prove It! – Simple Analogies to Unlock Your Life!

If you need to find yourself then this book is for you.

Not only do I show you how I overcame it all, but I show you how you can overcome your hardships too in a way that makes you feel good to be alive.
