Meditation – The Ferris Wheel XXII
A Peaceful State of Mind… So, when I meditate, I think of something or a place peaceful and calm. Then I think of the Ferris wheel. As you get into the seat and get buckled in and, the wheel moves just enough to let the other riders be seated, then it moves just enough to let the next set of riders get on and be seated, this goes on and on and on until everyone is seated. Then the most comforting ride begins. As the Ferris wheel goes up, every movement is exhilarating, we can see all over the theme…Poverty is the Breeder of Hopelessness, One Uneventful Occurrence Could Subject You to the Devastation of Poverty (46)
Everyone living in Poverty didn’t start off there. Many with a very nice income, just like you: a two-car garage, a boat, the perfect life– three kids, a fenced-in yard, and a dog. Then all in a sudden-reality hits you. It may have taken you years to reach the middle or high-income level, but it only takes twoquick New York seconds to enter the danger zone of poverty. The arrogance of taking your immediate financial stability for granted: lack of planning for the unimaginable, the unforeseen, the unpredictable, and that one uneventful occurrence. This leads to financial tension, stress, and…Put Your Negative Thoughts in Check and Keep Them There – Silence is Golden (58)
Run-a-way Thoughts…It’s a “Constant” battle Speech is silver and silence is golden–it’s a universal saying with your best interest at heart. Because the hardest thing for some to do is to hold their tongue – when it’s necessary. Hi, this is Quoya again, I know this has happened to you so this will hopefully help you to better manage the situation better than I did, but I learned. All weekend I was consumed with the thought that a certain person at my job was going to belittle me. I created every conceivable scenario of how to defend myself. If they…Relationships – The 80% – 20% Rule, Figure it Out or Lose Out (36)
Lust is Reckless & Temporary-yield not to Temptation–Resist So you see someone that “catches your eye” and you say-gosh, I have to meet her. But you freeze and she blends into the crowd she’s gone. Another one bites the dust. When my girlfriend and I go to the Mall, we say we’re not looking for a man or at men-but-that’s all we do. It’s all in good fun and we keep it healthy. These are a few of the qualities girls look for: are you a good listener, are you good in bed, are you committed, do you take care…The Dream That Never Ends & Time Doesn’t Matter Anymore – Guilt by Association (61)
Select your friends with Extreme Caution…it is Critical Twenty-two years ago, two kids James and Leslie (both 15 years old) were bored and totally disobeyed their parents and decided to venture out and do something different. They didn’t really have any place special in mind, so they jumped on a slow-moving freight train to wherever. They jumped off the train in a wooded area of a small city where they encountered 5 kids who befriend them and asked if they wanted to party. They all drank alcohol and smoked some weed, everyone seemed to be having a good time. Out…
Inspirational Life Stories
Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Look up into the sky—it’s a bird, it’s a plane—no! It’s your drug of choice. It can make you feel invincible, powerful, and can even make some people believe they can fly. But you aren’t Superman—you are just high, and you might die before you are able to come down.
Drugs are the breeder of corruption and can destroy entire family relationships—from wives, kids, mothers, fathers, grandparents, cousins, friends, sisters, and brothers. Drugs have no respect for a person or position—they seek whom they may devour—and make no mistake about it—they will destroy you, what you own, and whom you love.
Alcohol, the most lethal and legal drug on the planet, has the capability of all of the above, and if you defy it and try to quit on your own, it is the one drug with withdrawals so severe that even trying to stop could kill you. However, that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth trying. Through our inspirational life stories, we hope to push you toward making the right choices in your life and aid you on your path toward alcohol prevention.
The Importance of Alcohol Prevention
Kids, alcohol is a fatal attraction. If you know there is a family history; it is essential to remember that it can kill you if you drink it—it can kill you if you stop—so, why even start? No doubt about it, it “will” destroy your life! Just look at the statistics—the average age of death due to alcohol is only 30 years old!
According to the Centers for Disease Control, the most common causes of death due to alcohol include:
- Liver Disease
- Pancreatitis
- Cancer
- Ulcers & Gastrointestinal Problems
- Immune System Dysfunction
- Brain Damage
- Malnourishment & Vitamin Deficiencies
- Osteoporosis
Alcohol is also the most commonly abused drug in the United States, with more people addicted to it than all other illicit drugs combined. So don’t fool yourself if you have a problem, there is no such thing as responsible drinking, slowing down, or any other type of drinking management. You will end up with zero control, and your body will demand its quote—drunk!
136.7 million Americans aged 12 and older drink alcohol. 65.3 million people aged 12 and older binge drink. 16.3 million people aged 12 and older drink heavily. The National Survey on Drug Use and Health stated in 2016 that 15.1 million Americans aged 12 and older had some form of alcohol use disorder. They also said that 488,000 of those people were youths between 12 and 17. That same year, 2.3 million people realized that they had a problem and started receiving treatment for alcohol abuse.
Alcohol affects the frontal lobes of your brain, where personality and higher cognitive functions occur, such as reasoning and decision-making. Although alcohol can have a temporary uplifting or relaxing effect on your mood, it is also a deceptive and deadly depressant. It affects our brain in ways that make it more difficult to manage stress, increasing the risk of anxiety, depression, and even suicide.
Alcohol also has a negative impact on the area of the brain responsible for forming new memories. That is why you might have a hard time recalling specific details of a night out or—in extreme cases—experience a total blackout of the night. Long-term drinking can damage your brain and impact the cerebellum, which regulates stability and balance. This is also why you might notice that you are clumsier or stagger when drunk.
What a terrible web we weave when we know all this information and still choose to drink alcohol or use it irresponsibly. This is one of the follies of youth to ignore these facts and the history of this corruptive drug, but it is time to shine a light on alcohol abuse and make sure you never pick up a bottle to begin with.

Show Me Your Glory…
The Milky Way is the galaxy where our earth and solar system reside, which has approximately 30 billion suns. Most of these suns are larger than our own. To give a better example, you can fit about 1.3 million earths inside our sun.
The sun is approximately 846,000 miles in diameter. It is approximately 93 million miles from earth, and its core temperature is about 27 million degrees. It is the primary source of energy on earth.
A light year is a distance that light travels in one year at the rate of 186,000 miles per second. Our enormous Milky Way’s diameter—from rim to rim—is 200,000 light years. There are approximately 100,000 galaxies like the Milky Way in the universe; some of them are millions of light years apart.
