Power vs. Force

Power is to be uplifting and positive, Force is to nock down and gossip. 

Power is in smile and to be humble,

Force is in a frown and a shrug. 

Power is fighting when there is something of importance, 

Force is fighting everything all the time. 

Power is not having to be "right" even when the other "maybe wrong"

Force is having to be "right" even when there is "no wrong". 

Power is subtle and secure in nature,

Force is arrogant and insecure. 

Power is the way of love and respect for all,

Force is the way of the selfish and ignorance of one. 

Power is to enlighten and encourage,

Force is to take that away......

Be "Powerful" in your ways, let the "Forceful" slip away!       -C.R.

Two things define you, Your patience when you have nothing, and your attitude when you have everything....

"I would like to thank everyone who has a strong heart and a brave soul! For all of those who put the safety and well being of others before them selves. Those that are willing to sacrifice there life for some one they don't know, nor ever met. For all those that carry a compassion for the entire human race, that can not be altered by any degree of evil or wrong doing. For all those that believe in freedom from suppression and the right to live life as they see fit.

And for all those who are innocent of any crime against humanity, who have been slane world wide, for religion, power, money, oil, or just not believing in anothers ways. My sincere condolences, for most are ignorant and greedy, for them I can not apologise, there demise will come.

Please understand this, This is where I was born, this is the land and people I will protect with my life! This is my home, along with many others of all nationalities that believe in that freedom. And it is that freedom that I will fight for to the death! So, if you wish to try and harm us, our families and our way of life; This man will save and protect until death His Family, People and his Country. May we all be blessed and thankful this day and all to come ahead, for what we do have and for the goodness we give, Freely". Chris Roath

Sooner or later, history shows over and over again, things break, systems break, and I think we are very close to that breaking point.

"We are heading for a massive train wreck and it will happen sooner than later, monetary and economically" Chris R.

I'm thankful for every break in my heart, I'm grateful for every scar, some pages turned, some bridges burned, but there were lessons learned.

Stress is chosen-not something that happens to you. How you react to that proposition is likely an indication of how you handle life’s ups and downs. Those who believe stress is nearly impossible to avoid find they are in stressful situations routinely. But those who believe they can choose their reactions to a situation often find their lives are less stressful.

"Life is under no obligation to give us what we expect."

" Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved."

Peak performers develop powerful mental images of the behavior that will lead to the desired results. They see in their mind's eye the result they want, and the actions leading to it."

It's unbelievable how much you don't know about the game you've been playing all your life."
