In Congress, Bernie has fought tirelessly for working families, focusing on the shrinking middle class and growing gap between the rich and everyone else.

Celebrate what you’ve accomplished.

So it’s smart to look at your failure and celebrate what you have achieved. In his speech, Sanders thanked his supporters who “showed the world that we could run a successful national campaign based on small individual contributions–2 1/2 million of them.”

Some observers took exception to his describing his losing campaign as “successful,” and yet it was, compared to everyone’s expectations. No one, least of all Sanders, thought he had a serious shot at being president back when primary season began.

When Ruby Bridges walked into her first-grade class in 1960, the tiny 6-year-old became a powerful symbol of the Civil Rights Movement. She was the first black student to attend the all-white William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans, despite the mob of protestors who raged outside the school. First-grade teacher Barbara Henry thought she would be teaching a full classroom that year, but none of her white students came to class. Ruby would be Mrs. Henry’s only student that year.

Peter Sellers 1925 – write a will

After appearing in over 60 films as well as on numerous radio and television shows throughout his career, Sellers died of a heart attack on July 24, 1980. Displaying his unending sense of humor, the comic said good-bye with one last joke. At Sellers’ request, the song “In The Mood” was played at his funeral, a tune that he hated. According to biographer Roger Lewis, Sellers had told his son Michael that the song was “wonderfully inappropriate – hence, wonderfully appropriate – for solemn occasions.”

A letter has emerged signed by Peter Sellers hours before his death, which lends weight to the theory that the wrong person inherited his wealth.

“I lost some weight and I became a lot more limber,” Love says. But yoga’s benefits are not just physical. Love adds, “It lets me assess not only how my body feels, but where my mind is. It helps me escape all the stresses and pressures of daily life.”

http://www.stack.com/a/kevin-loves-5-move-yoga-workout

Another day for yoga to improve your body and escape the stresses and pressures of today.

In the short time I’ve been meeting with the therapist, I’ve seen the power of saying things out loud in a setting like that. And it’s not some magical process. It’s terrifying and awkward and hard, at least in my experience so far. I know you don’t just get rid of problems by talking about them, but I’ve learned that over time maybe you can better understand them and make them more manageable. Look, I’m not saying, Everyone go see a therapist. The biggest lesson for me since November wasn’t about a therapist — it was about confronting the fact that I needed help.

Vaginas were so popular in the thirties.
Not that they’ve ever been unpopular, but in Mildred Pierce, vaginas took center stage! Whether they were being penetrated by Guy Pearce’s toes and tongue, or — through the anticipation brought on by Evan Rachel Wood’s press tour — covered by a much-heralded merkin, each installment of Mildred Pierce had us on the edge of our seats, wondering what would happen to a vagina next.

THE “WIDOWED BRIDE” IN “AMERICAN PIE” WAS HOLLY’S WIFE.

Don McLean’s 1971 classic is all about that fateful plane crash. In the third verse, he sings, “I can’t remember if I cried, when I read about his widowed bride.”

The bride was María Elena Holly (née Santiago), who Buddy wed just two weeks after meeting her at a music publisher in New York, where she worked. She was pregnant when he died, but suffered a miscarriage a few days later. Santiago-Holly still controls much of the continuing business related to Holly’s music, but doesn’t own the songs—they’re held by Paul McCartney.

Always think about death

“Let death and exile and every other thing which appears dreadful be daily before your eyes; but most of all death: and you will never think of anything mean nor will you desire anything extravagantly.” – Epictetus

If you always think about death — would you waste 10 years of your life working hard, to earn a lot of money, to buy a big house, and a shiny BMW?

No. If we think that we’re going to die soon — we would never waste our time on superfluous wealth that won’t really help us. Rather, we would focus our time doing our creative work, creating art, and spending time with our loved ones.

Lesson:

Remember you must die, and you will die (soon). What would you not get distracted by if you realized you would die soon?

It was almost by coincidence that the young Bill Lyons should happen to reside across the street from his future business partner, William Walmsley. It was at this point that the young Mr. Lyons displayed the first of his three greatest talents. For Bill Lyons exhibited a phenomenal business sense, or certainly so it seemed for a lad of 20 without formal training. He convinced Walmsley that he could increase production and profits with a few of his ideas. One of which was to secure a larger workspace, as Walmsley’s garage was far too small for the big dreams of production Bill Lyons envisioned.

“You have the same number of hours in your day as Beyoncé.”

The above quote went viral because it’s catchy and true. According to Forbes, Beyoncé’s net worth in 2015 is $250 million, making her the 49th richest self-made woman in America. And she’s only 33 years old. Between her music, endorsements, business prowess, and acting career, Queen Bey has proven to women worldwide that it is possible to build an empire regardless of “isms” (sexism, racism, whatever other ism you can think of). Now we must pose the question: What do you do on your free time?

A longtime lover of history — a love cultivated by a single mother who raised him after his policeman father was killed — Harvey made waves early, getting his first radio gig at just age 14. And even though he would have plenty of mentors along the way, his work was most often honed by his wife.

Less determined or more timid people in Crandall’s shoes might have folded. After all, she had put all of her hopes as well as her savings into the school. Why risk failure and opprobrium over a single student when, with a simple dismissal, all would be well again?

The fools of Canterbury underestimated Prudence Crandall. Not only did she not cave in; she came up with a revolutionary idea. “Under the circumstances,” she declared, “I made up my mind that, if it were possible, I would teach colored girls exclusively.”

John Humphrey Noyes 1811

Image result for john humphrey noyes

https://philosophynow.org/issues/70/John_Humphrey_Noyes_Philosopher_of_Bible_Communism

Noyes appears to have picked up the ideals of Perfectionism from Wesleyan theologians of the day. Noyes, however, believed that perfection on earth meant sharing everything. Having been chased from a location or two for his radical ideas, Noyes and his followers eventually settled in Oneida, where they could practice “complex marriage” in peace. All adult members of the community were expected to love each other fully. While avoiding incestuous unions, all adults were married to all others. By practicing male continence, they kept the birth rate down, and, to the surprise of many visitors, seemed the most civil and sophisticated people around.

https://steveawiggins.com/tag/john-humphrey-noyes/

Sexual continence involves a total awareness and control during lovemaking. This implies that the couple will experience complete union with the possibility of reaching many orgasms. This kind of love fusion does not end with ejaculation for men nor an explosive discharge of sexual fluids for women.

Here’s How the Debt Snowball Method Works

The debt snowball method is a debt reduction strategy where you pay off debts in order of smallest to largest, gaining momentum as each balance is paid off. When the smallest debt is paid in full, you roll the money you were paying on that debt into the next smallest balance.

It looks something like this:
Step 1: List your debts from smallest to largest.
Step 2: Make minimum payments on all your debts except the smallest.
Step 3: Pay as much as possible on your smallest debt.
Step 4: Repeat until each debt is paid in full.

Shaun White 1986 – Flying Tomatoes

Image result for shaun white flying tomato

The Make-A-Wish Foundation factored into a defining moment at the 2014 Olympics, in which Shaun defied protocol by jumping over a barricade to high-five and hug two kids with cancer who’d traveled the 6,000 miles to Sochi to see their idol. That meeting was chronicled in detail in the Washington Post, with the story’s author noting that Shaun achieved “the Olympic moment of his life on the day he failed to win a medal.” Despite placing fourth in the halfpipe, Shaun found the 2014 Olympics revelatory in more ways than one. “You’d think losing would be the end of things, but it was just the beginning,” he says. “Instead of letting it destroy me, I sat back and asked myself, ‘What do I really want to do now?’ And that’s when everything started happening with Air + Style.”

Charlie Sheen’s spicy – and perplexing – comments about his physical strength and his mental abilities have caused many to sit up and take notice. Especially bartenders. TY KU has dreamed up a cocktail, called the TY-ger Blood, inspired by one of Sheen’s many quotable remarks that he’s “different.”

“I have a different constitution,” the actor has said. “I have a different brain; I have a different heart; I got tiger blood, man.”

The drink, which calls for sake and spicy tomato juice, is a play on the Bloody Mary, traditionally made with vodka.

“There’s two types of justice that we deal with in America: There’s moral justice and there’s legal justice,” Shapiro says.

Robert Shapiro gave his first on-camera interview in decades to Megyn Kelly on Tuesday night, and with that spotlight, he revealed what O.J. Simpson whispered to him when acquitted of double homicide in 1995.

“You told me this would be the result from the beginning. You were right,” Simpson told Shapiro, the lawyer says.

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/robert-shapiro-reveals-what-oj-895203

Robert Shapiro is a remarkable man. Many people know him as the Founder of LegalZoom; others know him as OJ Simpson’s criminal defense lawyer; others for his more recent work as a corporate lawyer on the civil side representing the Rock Star energy drink company and Steve Wynn of Vegas fame, and still others for his remarkable charity work to raise drug and alcohol dependency awareness. Of course, his work on the OJ Simpson case made him internationally famous.

Be curious – ask questions. People like to talk about themselves and their achievements.  When I asked Robert about the LegalZoom transaction, he lit up and really became engaged.

According to this confidant, this experience would motivate and structure Levin’s career, as he worked to expose the hypocrisy of those in power, whether they be the police, celebrities, or the various apparatuses that supported and sheltered them. He received a B.A. from UC Santa Barbara and a J.D. from University of Chicago, passing the California bar in 1975.

Phil McGraw 1950

Image result for phil mcgraw

https://www.drphil.com/

The authentic self is the you that can be found at your absolute core. It is the part of you not defined by your job, function or role. It is the composite of all your skills, talents and wisdom. It is all of the things that are uniquely yours and need expression, rather than what you believe you are supposed to be and do.

http://www.drphil.com/articles/article/73

The term talent refers to an inborn and the special ability of a person to do something. A skill is an expertise, which is acquired by the person by learning. Talent is God gifted ability, whereas Skill is an ability in which you put your time and efforts to develop.

Wisdom is one of those qualities difficult to define—because it encompasses so much—but which people generally recognize when they encounter it. And it is encountered most obviously in the realm of decision-making. Psychologists tend to agree that wisdom involves an integration of knowledge, experience, and deep understanding that incorporates tolerance for the uncertainties of life as well as its ups and downs. There’s an awareness of how things play out over time, and it confers a sense of balance. It can be acquired only through experience, but by itself, experience does not automatically confer wisdom.

*Write down your skills, your talents, and your wisdom. This is who you are. Your job is not what or who you are. Express who you are and stop worrying about who you should be.
