This is an excerpt from the article; 

Three Ps

One of the most difficult aspects of change is the need to make a day-to-day, hour-to-hour, and minute-to-minute commitment to change (Every time you miss an opportunity for change, you further ingrain your old obstacles). A helpful reminder of this necessity is what I call the Three Ps.

The first P, patience, is a constant reminder that change takes time and that if you maintain your commitment, you have a good chance to make the changes you want long lasting.

The second P, persistence, means you must keep vigilant and, as the saying goes, "keep on keeping on" in your journey to change.

The third P, perseverance, refers to your ability to overcome setbacks and maintain your motivation and confidence in the face of periodic failures and disappointment

here is a camera i found, bought one and it seems pretty straightforward. it's cheap and the shipping is free from this site. here it is http://www.dx.com/p/ultra-mini-screen-free-3-0-mega-pixels-cmos-motion-detection-video-camera-micro-sd-tf-slot-37478#.VCh5OaU9l0s

Theses are small and i mean small. no lcd screen to take up space, point and shoot.

I think their neat lol.

I hope this helps some people catch them in the act.

I have had the most amazing privelage of meeting online, the worlds first fully lobotomized,  upper percentage mensa member,  right here on peacepink! !!

First, let me post some things about a lobotomy. Heres a few paragraphs from wkipedia:

The lobotomy procedure could have severe negative effects on a patient's personality and ability to function independently.^[131] Lobotomy patients often show a marked reduction in initiative and inhibition.^[132] They may also exhibit difficulty putting themselves in the position of others because of decreased cognition and detachment from society.^[133]

Immediately following surgery patients were often stuporous, confused, and incontinent. Some developed an enormous appetite and gained considerable weight. Seizures were another common complication of surgery. Emphasis was put on the training of patients in the weeks and months following surgery.^[134]

(Youll notice this next paragraph and how it points out the childish personality that a lobotomy creates in the patient)

Freeman coined the term "surgically induced childhood" and used it constantly to refer the results of lobotomy. The operation left people with an "infantile personality"; a period of maturation would then, according to Freeman, lead to recovery. In an unpublished memoir he described how the "personality of the patient was changed in some way in the hope of rendering him more amenable to the social pressures under which he is supposed to exist." He described one 29 year old woman as being, following lobotomy, a "smiling, lazy and satisfactory patient with the personality of an oyster" who couldn't remember Freeman's name and endlessly poured coffee from an empty pot. When her parents had difficulty dealing with her behaviour, Freeman advised a system of rewards (ice-cream) and punishment (smacks)

Interesting isnt it. Now lets look at what mensa is:

"Whenever I talk about the future of AGI, someone starts talking about the possibility that AGI will “take over the world.”

One question is whether this would be a good or bad thing — and the answer to that is, of course, “it depends” … I’ll come back to that at the end of this post.Another relevant question is: If this were going to happen, how would it most likely come about.  How would an “AGI takeover” be likely to unfold, in practice?One option is what Eliezer Yudkowsky has called AI “FOOM” …  i.e. a “Hard Takeoff”  (a possibility which I analyzed a bit , some time ago…)

The basic idea of AI Foom or Hard Takeoff is that, sometime in the future, an advanced AGI may go from relatively innocuous subhuman-level intelligence all the way up to superhuman intelligence, superintelligence, in 5 minutes or some other remarkably short period of time…..  By rewriting its code over and over (each time learning better how to rewrite its code), or assimilating additional hardware into its infrastructure, or whatever….

A Hard Takeoff is a special case of the general notion of an Intelligence Explosion — a process via which AGI gets smarter and smarter via improving itself, and thus getting better and better and faster and faster at making itself smarter and smarter.   A Hard Takeoff is, basically,  a really really fast Intelligence Explosion!

Richard Loosemore and I have argued that an Intelligence Explosion is probable.   But this doesn’t mean a Hard Takeoff is probable.

Nick Bostrom’s nice illustration of the Hard Takeoff idea

What often seems to happen in discussions of the future of AI (among hardcore futurist geeks, anyway) is something like:

• Someone presents the Foom / Hard Takeoff idea as a scary, and reasonably likely, option
• Someone else points out that this is pretty unlikely, since someone watching the subhuman-level AGI system in question would probably notice if the AGI system were ordering a lot of new hardware for itself, or undertaking unusual network activity, or displaying highly novel RAM usage patterns, or whatever…

In spite of being a huge optimist about the power and future of AGI, I actually tend to agree with the anti-Foom arguments.   A hard AGI takeoff in 5 minutes seems pretty unlikely to me.

What I think is far more likely is an Intelligence Explosion manifested as a “semi-hard takeoff” — where an AGI takes a few years to get from slightly subhuman level general intelligence to massively superhuman intelligence, and involved various human beings, systems and institutions in the process.

A tasty semihard cheese — appropriate snack food  for those living through the semihard takeoff to come.  Semihard cheeses are generally good for melting; and are sometimes said to have the greatest complexity and balance.

After all, a cunning and power-hungry human-level AGI wouldn’t need to suddenly take over the world on its own, all at once, in order to gain power.  Unless it was massively superhuman, it would probably consider this too risky a course of action.   Rather, to take power, a human-level AGI would would simply need to accumulate a lot of money (e.g. on the financial markets, using the superior pattern recognition capability it could achieve via tightly integrating its mind with statistical and machine learning software and financial, economic and news databases) and then deploy this wealth to set up a stronghold in some easily-bought nation, where it could then pay and educate a host of humans to do its bidding, while doing research to improve its intelligence further…

Human society is complex and disorganized enough, and human motivations are complex and confused enough, and human judgment is erratic enough, that there would be plenty of opportunities for an early-stage AGI agent to embed itself in human society in such a way as to foster the simultaneous growth of its power and intelligence over a period of a few years.   In fact an early-stage AGI probably won’t even need to TRY for this to happen — once early-stage AGI systems can do really useful stuff, various governments, companies and other organizations will push pretty hard to use these systems as thoroughly as they can, because of the economic efficiency and scientific and media status this will bring.

Once an AGI is at human level and embedded in human society in judicious ways, it’s going to be infeasible for anyone to get rid of it — and it’s going to keep on growing in intelligence and power, aided by the human institutions it’s linked with.   Consider, e.g., a future in which:

•  Azerbaijan’s leaders get bought off by a wildly successful AGI futures trader, and the nation becomes an AGI stronghold, complete with a nuclear arsenal and what-not (maybe the AGI has helped the country design and build nukes, or maybe it didn’t need the AGI for that…).
• The nation the AGI has bought is not aggressive, not attacking anyone — it’s just sitting there using tech to raise itself out of poverty … doing profitable deals on the financial markets, making and selling software products/services, patenting inventions, … and creating a military apparatus for self-defense, like basically every other country.

What happens then?  The AGI keeps profiting and self-improving at its own pace, is what happens?  Is the US really gonna nuke a peaceful country just for being smart and getting rich, and risk massive retaliation and World War III?  I doubt it….  In its comfy Azerbaijani stronghold, the AGI can then develop from human-level to massively transhuman intelligence — and then a lot of things become possible…

I have spun out one scenario here but of course there are lots of others.  Let’s not allow the unrealism of the “hard takeoff in 5 minutes and the AGI takes over the world” aka “foom” scenario to blind our minds to the great variety of other possibilities….  Bear in mind that an AGI going from toddler-level to human-level in 5 years, and human-level to superhuman level in 5 more years, is a FOOM on the time-scale of human history, even if not as sudden as a 5 minute hard takeoff on the time-scale of an individual human life…

So how could we stop a semihard takeoff from happening?   We can’t really — not without some sort of 1984++ style fascist anti-AI world dictatorship, or a war destroying modern society projecting us back before the information age.   And anyway, I am not in favor of throttling AGI development personally; I doubt the hypothetical Azerbaijanian AGI would particularly want to annihilate humanity and I suspect transhuman AGIs will do more good than harm, on average over all possible worlds….  I’m not at all sure that “an AGI taking over the world” — with the fully or partly witting support of some group(s) of humans — would be a bad thing, compared to other viable alternatives for humanity’s future….

In terms of risks to humanity, this more realistic “semihard takeoff” development scenario highlights where the really onerous risks probably are.   SIAI/MIRI and the Future of Humanity Institute seem to spend a lot of energy thinking about the risk of a superhuman AGI annihilating humanity for its own reasons; but it seems to me a much more palpable and probable risk will occur at the stage where an AGI is around human-level but not yet dramatically more powerful and intelligent than humans, so that it still needs cooperation from human beings to get things done.  This stage of development will create a situation in which AGI systems will want to strike bargains with humans, wherein they do some things that certain humans want, in order to get some things that they want…

But obviously, some of the things that some humans want, are highly destructive to OTHER humans…

The point is, there is a clear and known risk of early-stage AGIs being manipulated by humans with nasty or selfish motives, because many humans are known to have nasty or selfish motives.   Whereas the propensity of advanced AGIs to annihilate lesser sentiences, remains a wild speculation (and one that I don’t really find all that credible)…..

I would personally trust a well-designed, self-improving AGI more than a national government that’s in possession of the world’s smartest near-human-level AGI; AGIs are somewhat of a wild card but can at least be designed with initially beneficent motivational systems, whereas national governments are known to generally be self-serving and prone to various sorts of faulty judgments….  This leads on to the notion of the AI Nanny, which I’ve written about before.   But my point here isn’t to argue the desirability or otherwise of the AI  Nanny — just to point out the kind of “semihard takeoff” that I think is actually plausible.

IMO what we’re likely to see is not a FOOM exactly, but still, a lot faster than AI skeptics would want to accept….   A Semihard Takeoff.  Which is still risky in various ways, but in many ways more exciting than a true Hard Takeoff — because it will happen slowly enough for us to watch and feel it happen…

Smart meters are spying devices. Not breaking news? Likely not for those of us who have researched the issue for quite a long while, but an admission by those who make the devices is rather shocking.

That is exactly what has happened, as SmartGridNews, a website supported by the high-tech meter industry, acknowledged that smart meters are gathering private information on homeowners.

Smart meters utilize wireless technology and instantly tell power companies how much electricity a home is using, and even can report on the power usage by individual appliances, as Smart Grid News said. Smart meters also can literally control newer household appliances that have the capability to communicate with the device.

“One of the next areas of value comes from taking smart meter data and ‘disaggregating’ it to tell us exactly how customers are using electricity,” reads a new story on the website. “Do external devices already do this? Sure. Just as progress in the smart phone world reduced the need for external devices (cameras, alarm clocks, radios, pedometers, navigation systems, etc.) the ability to get accurate, appliance level feedback, without the need to invest in external hardware, is the next step in the world of smart meters.”

The Stop Smart Meters website states that fire dangers are also a problem associated with smart meters. Fire calls after smart meter installations reportedly include the shorting-out of electronics of all varieties and the burning-out of appliances.

FREE Book Reveals Facts About How To Create A Self-Sufficient, Off-The-Grid Lifestyle Using Solar Power!

Cyber hacking of smart meters to possibly overload and garner control of significant portions of the power grid is also an often-voiced worry about the smart power initiative. In Connecticut, 30 percent of customers in a pilot program had higher bills after smart meters were installed.

According to the Stop Smart Meters group, the smart grid devices do not always emit less RF (radio frequency) exposure than a cell phone — as some utility companies allegedly state.

“People are becoming increasingly aware of the potential harm done by chronic exposure to RF radiation-emitting devices and are taking steps to change how they use them. Most people are not offered a wired smart meter and you can’t turn it off once it is installed,” the group contends.

Story continues below video

Smart grid opponents have long opposed the gathering of their personal usage information.

Former CIA Director David Petraeus once stated that WiFi-connected devices, such as appliances commonly found inside many homes, will “transform the art of spying.” Petraeus also said that spies will be capable of monitoring Americans without going inside the home or perhaps even acquiring a warrant. He went on to state that remote control radio frequency identification devices, “energy harvesters,” sensor networks, and small embedded severs all connected to an Internet network will be all that is necessary for clandestine intelligence gathering.

The Smart Grid News report said customers surveyed in a recent report supported smart meters.

“Customers were delighted with the initiative as it showed how their new smart meters could work for them,” the website said. “Utility companies wanting to meet their specific conservation targets to drive customer engagement should ensure they are making the most of their smart meter investment. They can now use the power of smart meter data disaggregation to identify the customers who are most likely to help them reach their specific targets and turn them into willing partners in the drive for energy conservation.”

Data disaggregation basically means the automatic collection of personal energy habits of the homes attached to smart meters. The more customers know that is the case, the more they will oppose smart meters.

How do you feel about smart meters and the creation of a smart grid? Let us know in the comments section below.

They've left me alone for the most part here recently.  I am destroyed. haha  The last time we spoke was over the Shakira thing.  They were bullying Shakira and had me paint such a lovely picture of her being old and a gold-digger.  And then I see the video, and I'm like, "How rude." Their technology has advanced in these past few years because they're slipping thoughts into my head, and I am not getting a headache nor feel detached from these new commands.   Prior, I was in an odd position where I was split off from myself, and I could say, "no" to them.  Now, that's more difficult.  I only know it when my environment starts to clash, or I do something weird.

I still pick up on their stupid cues.  I still do NOT want a husband, and I don't want a family.  Like I've told them many times, and they're  finally starting to respect me more, it's not going to happen.  They're the little editors of our civilization.  They'll "get it" eventually.   I think they sterilized me anyway.  I don't care.  I would never make a child live in my shame, nor would I want to give them schizophrenia.  Yes, I'm schizophrenic.  No, I'm not delusional all of the time.

I wish Putin would compensate me so that I could live in a nice house away from humans.  I hate humans.

The key to effective rumor control efforts is an ability to perform three functions.

• First, some mechanism is needed for determining what rumors are actually circulating.
• Second, an effective strategy is needed for determining which rumors are true, and which are false.
• Finally, mechanisms are needed for correcting inaccurate rumors and replacing them with reliable information.

The first step, rumor identification, requires the support of people in each constituency group who are in a position to hear the latest rumors as they are circulating. In general, these are people who are very active in the conflict and interested in developing more constructive approaches. It is often helpful to provide these "rumor reporters" with training so that they understand how misinformation can drive the cycle of destructive escalation. It is also important that these individuals to be widely trusted by members of their constituency group.

The next phase of the rumor control process requires a workable mechanism determining the truthfulness of rumors. Here "rumor investigators" (who may be the same people as the "rumor reporters" or others), help determine, from their group's perspective, the accuracy of rumors pertaining to their group. While there will certainly be cases were the practices of secrecy and deception makereliable rumor checking impossible, there will also be many cases in which incorrect rumors can be at least partially corrected.

Additional insights into rumor control is offered by Beyond Intractability project participants.

This rumor investigation mechanism can be structured in a variety of ways, as long as it provides information that is widely regarded as trustworthy and reliable. "Rumor reporters" might be organized into a committee made up of people from both or all sides that meets periodically to exchange information about current rumors and then organize efforts to determine their accuracy. These committees should also involve people with access to the information needed to conduct effective investigations.

Another way of structuring such a program involves widely-trusted neutral intermediaries who systematically contact key parties involved in a conflict to identify and investigate the latest rumors. When these intermediaries hear a story that they think is likely to be untrue, they initiate an investigation to try to determine whether or not the story is accurate. Also needed is a plan for handling inconclusive investigations. This means that the investigators have to clearly acknowledge cases in which they are unable to determine the reliability of rumor.

The third and final phase of rumor control efforts is rumor correction. Here the investigators need some reliable mechanism for promptly reporting their findings to interested parties. In cases were there is no agreement on what has happened, they should report what is known, what is not known, and what is still being investigated. They should also report differing interpretations of available facts. When an investigation determines that the rumor is not true, then a plan for correcting the error should be initiated. The success of this plan depends upon the credibility of the intermediaries and their ability to communicate widely, effectively, and quickly.

Mosr humans are prone to linear thinking. Or approaching a problem with a prescribed starting point, or even structure as well. This king of thinking has permeated life. Sciencd, medicine, politics,  etc....are often the victim of linear thought.

Here is an excerpt from an article tgat talks some about Non-linear thinking.

Non-Linear Thinking

Non-linear thinking, a relatively new term, is vague enough (perhaps naturally so) that a simple google search will yield more beatings-around-the-bushes than formal definitions for the phrase. I think of it as follows:

Human thought characterized by expansion in multiple directions, rather than in one direction, and based on the concept that there are multiple starting points from which one can apply logic to a problem.

Non-linear thinking is less constrictive – letting the creative side of you run rampant because of its inherent lack of structure. It’s kind of like letting a puppy run wild on a walk up a mountain – anything of interest will be thoroughly investigated (and perhaps peed on) before jumping to the next, possibly non-related subject! It’s very much like brainstorming – allowing thought to flow, unhindered, in attempts to arrive upon something special in the process.

Non-linear thought increases possible outcomes by not being so certain about the starting point for any logic process. Non-linear thinkers tend to jump forward, and from side to side through the steps of a project, in an effort to see the big picture and tackle those areas where they have the most interest. Where non-linear thinking falters is in finally carrying out the required action, because as a thought process it often encourages a user to agonize incessantly over where to start (that agreed upon truth, from which logic can be applied and action can be taken).

A new form of digital presentation created by the folks at Prezi.com is a great example of non-linear and linear thinking in action. Why? Because rather than a linear slide show, it’s ultimately a picture, into which you can zoom in and out, infinitely. It allows you to present a product, concept, or argument in a logically by moving from location to location what is essentially group of images, but at any point you can zoom out and suddenly, “See the big picture” takes on a whole new meaning – Check it out!

Norway Man Confusing Mind Control Victimization with "Spirit Guides" (Dec. 9, 2010)

Subject: Please advice me on my issue!
From: Daniel (Norway)
Date: Tue, December 7, 2010
To: Ken Adachi

Hello,

My name Is Daniel. I'm 27 years old and I live in Norway. Could you please share your knowledge about God and the spirit guides and what they can do and cannot do to me? Every day I experience being commanded by voices in my head and urging impulses to do and say things that I don't want to do or say, often irrational, hurting and violent things. It's like I'm being forced and I hear voices that say "You must" or "say it" "do it"! And I get the sensation that I sin so terribly by not doing what the voices and impulses urge and command me to do, like I'm disobedient to my spirit guides or God. I live in constant worry, doubt, guilt and feeling of disobedience and intimidation. I can honestly say that I'm not free.

Like I cannot choose for myself what to do or not to do without feeling judged for it or feeling sinful and disobedient. I have wondered if I might have implants, but I believe so strongly that it's my spirit guides commanding and urging me.

Other voices I hear is "shut up", "silent",- this too I believe is from my spirit guides, and a verse from the bible: "shake of fear", and this I believe Jesus Christ is saying!! Also, I get thoughts, impulses and ideas about hitting and killing and whenever I see a knife or scissor it's like something or someone is urging me to use it on another being, and I get the idea that it's in my karma to harm or kill another being to achieve balance for my soul. In addition to this I also experience being hit and pushed in my head and lifted in my hand quite often,-especially when I'm about to use my computer to read or chat with my girlfriend, and this too I believe is my guides, but I feel intimidated to stay away from the PC! I have no idea what to believe anymore. I really can't say I believe that I have free will,- if I have I am certainly not respected for my choices cause I experience being forced and corrected all the time and always get impulses and ideas of saying/doing things that will hurt another being and leave me completely irrational. Everything I have read and believed in don't have value anymore cause my experience of life contradicts all that! Please reply and tell me what you think.

Thank You!
Daniel

Hello Daniel,

You're being victimized by mind control technologies. You are not hearing from Spirit Guides or angels. or Jesus, or God, despite your impression to the contrary. You are definitely implanted. You can take that to the bank.

These implants are allowing this technology to work. The signals are being transmitted into your brain by microwaves and scalar transmissions. There are either humans, aliens, or COMPUTERS responsible for what you are hearing.

You are in some kind of "program" run by your government, your military, intelligence agencies, powerful corporate interests, a cult group, or even law enforcement. You likely have a family connection that set you up for this. Or you were involved with some group or organization that targeted you for victimization.

You probably already have a firm suspicion as to whom I'm referring. Why don't you fill in the blanks for me so we can both learn more?

Regards, Ken

Thanks for your reply Ken.

I actually hope you're right, because then I have hope that the implants will be removed.

I can tell you that I have been in and out of psychiatric institutions since I was nineteen and is currently in one now. I'm 27 now. also, I have been on a medication called Risperdal for about four years. I get this "medication" through injections into my butt every second week and I have thought this"medication" might contain implants. do you know anything about this drug and the treatment??

What family connection I have regarding implants I am unsure of, but my family have always trusted the psychiatry and they were the ones that got me committed the first times and have never questioned the treatment or the doctors.

If only I knew I am implanted I would have a much different approach to what I am experiencing, but right now I know nothing and nothing seems right anymore.

Please reply.
Thank You!
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Psychiatric drugs are damaging and harmful as they produce long term side effects affecting the nervous system. You should try to get legal help to get out of there. The people who run psychiatric hospitals know all about the mind control programs, because they work hand in hand with the intelligence services, etc, but they won't admit anything to you, so don't bother asking them.

There are many thousands upon thousands of people around the world who are in the same situations you are, so don't think you are alone. If you keep telling these "voices" in your head that you are aware of their game and you know that they are human scum bags and not spirit guides, etc. If you stick to your guns, they will eventually drop the BS and admit to you that they are messing with you.

Don't doubt yourself. That's what they want. You're being victimized, have no doubt about it. Try turning the tables on them and talk about love and forgiveness and Light and tell them there is nothing to be gained from a life of evil and darkness. You might be surprised at what you hear back from them.

Regards,Ken

Thank You Ken.

Again, I do hope you're right. I don't want this to be coming from guides, the Lord or God.

Hi Daniel,

Perhaps your life experiences have prevented you from understanding some basic concepts concerning our interaction with the spirit world. Spirit Guides, Angels, God, Jesus, and our Higher Self are certainly real, but they don't express their influence to us through out conscience mind.

Their influence is much more subtle than that and it arises within the SUBCONSCIOUS mind. What we call "intuition" or a pang of "conscience" when we are about to do something bad, is how your Higher Self and your Spirit Guides communicate with you. They don't produce voices in your head and they certainly wouldn't tell you things of a negative nature or to berate you or condemn you or anything as nutsy as that. Like I already told you, you are being victimized by humans (and perhaps aliens) because you are snagged in some sort of mind control operation.

There's nothing mysterious or mystical about it. Somebody is sitting at a computer terminal somewhere in an underground facility and is sending you these voices. It is often done AUTOMATICALLY by COMPUTERS, but very often humans will talk to you directly to torment you in some way.

You didn't tell me when this started. There was some point in your life that you didn't hear these voices and then at some later point you did. Somewhere around the time when you first began to hear these voices is where to look for whoever set you up for this.

Regards, Ken

I have been studying thought processes and how they lend themselves to communication. Being that we all have such different experiences,  and the way that we process those experiences is also different,  we come up with different conclusions. How we view our differences can expose our motive. ...but motuve us another discussion altogether. 

Herd is an article discussing the difference between linear and non linear thinking. It is deep, but its worth the read!

“Excellence can be obtained if you care more than others think is wise, risk more than others think is safe, dream more than others think is practical, expect more than others think is possible.” ~Unknown

After several excruciatingly painful and profoundly frightening years of undiagnosed symptoms, I was diagnosed with a “progressive and incurable” neurological disease, Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy/Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (RSD/CRPS), which is characterized by unrelenting pain that is disproportionate to the inciting event, usually an injury or trauma.

As luck would have it, I was diagnosed and, shortly after, hospitalized for the first of three times just as I was accepted into a Master’s program for clinical social work.

I always saw myself obtaining a Master’s Degree and a Ph.D., but how would I accomplish these grueling and seemingly impossible tasks if I could barely stand up long enough to brush my teeth on a cocktail of the most potent narcotics available?

I didn’t have the answer to this question, and a flood of fear and doubt rose up within me like a tsunami crashing onto the shore, drowning hope and destroying all of the life in its path.

I pushed onward despite overwhelming feelings of fear, and medical professionals suggesting that I should quit graduate school and go on disability.

That was three years ago, and now, I have a Master’s Degree in clinical social work (MSW) and a professional license to boot (LSW). Not to mention, I no longer take any medication for the RSD/CRPS thanks to coffee enemas, a vegan diet (heavy on the fresh, organic fruit and vegetable juices), and a will and desperation to be healthy.*

At best, my traditional doctors predicted a life full of yearly or bi-yearly week-long hospitalizations where I would receive a continuous I.V. drip of the powerful anesthetic, ketamine (better known by its street name, “special K”), which can temporarily control the pain for some individuals.

I couldn’t accept that portrait of my future, so I decided to paint my own. In my version, colors and health were vibrant and smiles and possibilities were endless. “Can’t” changed to “heck yes, I can” and “incurable and progressive” weren’t part of the vocabulary, no matter what they said.

Was obtaining my Master’s Degree the biggest challenge of my young life thus far? Absolutely. Would I do it again? In a heartbeat.

In fact, my continuously improving health moves that Ph.D. out on the horizon closer and closer to the palm of my hand, and victory never tastes as sweet as when it is achieved with the odds against you.

Below are my five tips on how to succeed despite the odds.

1. Die to the past.

Forget what you know. Forget what everyone has told you. Die to the past, and while you’re at it, remember: the present is not a means to get to the future. If you think of it that way, you will be perpetually unfulfilled.

Be mindful of the present moment because the past is over, and the future doesn’t exist. The only moment is now.

Take a moment to allow yourself to be in awe of the wonders of the world and the divine intelligence that helps those ordinary miracles unfold. Your miracle is unfolding right now, and you’ll miss it if you continue to live without awareness.

2. Surrender to the unknown.

Surrendering has never been my forte because I have a tendency to want to control my environments, which means I can end up living in the future, not in the present moment. Worrying is wasted energy, and no amount of those toxic thoughts will ever change the outcome.

I believe a higher power has a plan for me, and as I look back on my life so far, I realize I have always been put in the places I needed to be to personally and professionally grow and develop. Regardless of your spiritual beliefs, trust that you will never come up against more than you can handle.

Relax, and let life flow through you.

3. Dare to dream.

The limitations we perceive are put in place by us and only us. Take some time to sit in stillness and tap into your innate intuitive abilities.

Silencing the critical voices of others and that critical voice within you will allow you to get in touch with your desires and the possibilities of achieving them. It is the “impossible” that stretches you, shows you what you can become, and aids in the formation of who you are meant to be.

4. Support yourself.

A rock solid support system is essential, but you cannot overcome an obstacle if you don’t believe in yourself. Have confidence in yourself and your abilities because if you don’t, no one else will either.

The negative thoughts that you harbor about yourself will ultimately be sent out into the universe and affect how your life unfolds.

When you believe in your potential, your life will take on a whole new expression. “I can’t” turns into “I will.” Remember, you are divinity in motion, so start acting like it.

5. Go all in.

Anyone who has experienced any kind of success understands that it does not come without hard work, discipline, and dedication. When you come from behind and achieve the impossible, the triumph seems so much greater. Determination, commitment, and a burning desire to see your dreams through will help you achieve any goal your intuition guides you toward.

Now, go in the direction of your dreams, even if they seem impossible. You deserve unbounded success, and you are worthy of miracles. I have faith in you and all that you can be. Do you?
