Why Sometimes you Should Just Give Up and Surrender
Author: Mailcucan  | Posted: 29-11-2006 | Comments: 0 | Views: 225 | Rating: (50)  (?) 
That's right. Sometimes, you should just give up.
This may not be the type of advice you'd expect to find in a book about positive thinking. However, there is a specific time when you should surrender- and that is when you hate doing what you're doing.
"Like what you do.
If you don't like it, do something else."
- Paul Harvey
Too many people end up settling for the life they think they ought to have, the life others have told them to expect, or the life they believe they're stuck with.
You must realize that there is room on this planet for everyone, and if you're feeling trapped in a job you despise or a living space you can't stand, you need to make a change- not down the road, when you have time, or as soon as you get whatever it is you've been waiting for; but right now. That elusive "someday" is always going to be in the future, and you can't catch up to the future. Now is the only time you have.
This doesn't mean you should drop everything and throw caution to the wind- at least, not in most cases. If you're like most people, you have responsibilities that must be taken care of. However, there is always something you can do right now to cast out your net and catch "someday," and start pulling it toward you.
Do you hate your job, but lack the experience to get a different one? Start taking night classes or sign up for an online course. There are hundreds of accredited universities offering distance learning classes over the internet. Is your house or apartment located in a neighborhood that started out great, but is becoming worse every day- and you haven't found the time or the money to move?
Take a close look at your budget and see if there's anything you can do without for a few months, or ask your landlord or bank if they have any other properties you could look into.
Waiting fuels the fires of apathy. Doing something about your situation, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem, can start a chain reaction of enthusiasm that will energize you to reach your goals. You deserve to get what you want out of life while you're still here to enjoy it.
Don't put it off another day, because your "someday" is right now!

True that?

Bush Sr. and Dick Cheney?s Connections to Utah and World Control StopZion Bridsingtruth Citiesofpeace Dear Republicans, Independents and Regan Democrats who believe in God: Why is President George W. Bush Jr so anxious to connect all of the US Christian/Judeo Churches through his campaign for re-election with a marriage amendment campaign? He found out how corrupt and blindly obedient former employees of his father are to Salt Lake City during the 1980s for taking over the world economies. Bush Sr lost his re-election campaign because of his exclusive secret deals with the Mormon Church Gordon Hinckley. Bush Sr was caught several times through CIA communications being examined and exposed by the US Military and other federal whistle-blowers. How it happened: In 1990 President George Bush Sr cut a deal with the Mormon Church leaders to centralize their weekly revenue into globalizing the world economies into the US System. This had never been done before in the history of the Mormon Church (since 1830). From this date forward, all defaulted World Bank & IMF notes were purchased by Mormon Member tithes and corporate revenues. These foreign notes (mostly of Catholic/Moslem dominated countries) would then be presented to the foreign nation which owed the debt, and through a ?Corporate America business plan?, be required to print some new Money to pay back one hundred percent of the debt owed and work with the American companies who would be fronting CIA business ventures through commercial operations. It was so successful, that for the past several years, the investments have been in the black for the first time in the history of 3rd world investments. Double books are kept because of the minimal costs these defaulted notes cost the Mormon Church investments. Most of the other American church organizations are now participating in this program. Based on this secret agreement, the War in the Gulf was created to decoy the international news media into a ?war? without a victory over a dictator (Iraq). This is exactly when the Mormon Church stopped local Ward Budget requirements and centralized the church purchasing power. How corrupt is it with the automated signature machine operation being used since the political behind-the-scene take over of Ezra Taft Benson, former US Secretary of Agriculture?In 1996 when the International Olympic Committee awarded the 2002 Winter Olympics to Salt Lake City, Utah, all other US Christian/Judea organizations were invited to participate, using their membership donation funds in this successful and very secret international monetary program. This was during the same time that the Internet System was abandoned by US Government entities because they no longer could control it. The Mormon Church had been successfully teaching members from all over the world how to use the internet in every day life for several years through their stake center facilities until they could no longer control the communication. In 1996, the world governments agreed to the April 6, 2000 Blue Beam Project (Day-Night-Day Re-creation of the birth of Christ, found in the Old Testament, Zechariah 14:6-7,9, ?And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark: But it shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord, not day, nor night; but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light?.And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one?). An announcement of building a temple in Palmyra New York and holding the Mormon Church General Conference in New York commenced the project. This project was postponed by vote of the Russian government because too many people knew about it through the internet? free communications. They would still want this controlling event to happen with a projected ?85% of the world? believing it!Since 1990, how many Mormon returned missionaries are over-looked by high paying Federal Government jobs just because they served a mission in the Western United States? Of the 60,000 Mormon Missionaries serving throughout the world in 2004, how many are serving in non-western USA? How many missionaries who serve in Southern/Central/Northeast US, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Caribbean Islands, Hong Kong, and other English speaking missions naturally return and live there because there is no harmony back home? How many Mormon attorneys are graduating each year? How many are specifically recruited by local, state, national and foreign governments? What was a key reason why the Soviet bloc allowed a Mormon Temple to be built in Eastern Germany back in the 1980s (12th Article of Faith: We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.?) The next Article is Faith is deliberately used on Mormon recruits to control them in blind obedience to their employer (government/Corporate America): ?We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul?We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.? There are many layers of employees in this corrupt system. Only a few at the top know the complete structure of the money laundering operation to turn the world into an American Judicial/Economic Society. When this ?secret society? has to confess of their deals, the world will be a better world for all the people to enjoy modernization and freedom of religion through separation of church and state.Source: http://www.mormon.citymax.com/myths.htmlIt is time to wake the hell up.
