Boy Lessons

16 Lessons Every Boy Should Learn

1. Women are not objects – Treat every female with respect, not as a possession.

2. Fists aren’t solutions – Violence never solves problems; communication does.

3. Happiness isn’t bought – True contentment doesn’t come from money or power.

4. Force isn’t manliness – Real strength comes from patience, not aggression.

5. Respect goes further – More than flowers or gifts, respect is what builds lasting relationships.

6. Trust your gut – Your instincts are powerful; listen to them, they’ll save you more often than not.

7. Never outgrow “Mom” – No matter your age, calling your mother “Mom” or “Mama” shows love. “You” is for friends.

8. Dress the part – Sometimes, neat clothes can be the difference between a “yes” or a “no.”

9. Success has many keys – Whether it’s in sports, art, music, or writing, each passion has its own door to unlock.

10. Choose role models wisely – Bright lights can blind you to red flags. Be careful who you admire.

11. Stay curious – Every corner holds a story; always be open to learning.

12. Earn it, don’t expect it – No one is entitled to what they want. You work hard for what you have and pray for what you need.

13. Kneel before God – When you know how to humble yourself before God, you’ll have the strength to stand up to anyone.

14. Own your choices – Your friends won’t be held responsible for your actions. Think before you act.

15. Choose humility over arrogance – Running with the popular crowd teaches arrogance; sitting with everyday people teaches humility, and humility will take you further.

16. Take God with you – Don’t go anywhere or do anything you wouldn’t want to invite your Heavenly Father to. He’s your ultimate protector.

Craig Childress PsyD – Election Aftermath

If I had not listened to Election Astrology which I posted here , I’d be real disturbed.

*Kamala would have given us all puppies. Instead, you chose to drink Drano.

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha… and I get to watch.

Kamala was sane. She smiled and laughed. She was smart and tough and kind. She would have given us all puppies.

You didn’t want that.

You chose to put our nation in the hands of a psychotic Dark Tetrad. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha… so now you get to drink Drano. Lucky you.

He wants to burn it all to the ground, you know that right? And this second time he knows exactly how to do that now. He knows how he was stopped last time by sane people around him…

…so there’s no sane people around him now to stop him. Aha-ha-ha-ha… there’s a reason its unwise to put the stupidest in charge. Wanna know the reason?

Watch. Aha-ha-ha-ha-ha… oh my goodness this’ll be fun. We’ve crossed the event horizon – no light can escape now – there’s nothing you can do.

He has absolute power and complete immunity for anything he does. Weeee… let’s make Amerika Great… Again. Remember when we had no polluting immigrants? Remember when White men were in charge and our womenfolk and people of color knew their ‘place’?

Wasn’t that Great. Let’s go back and do it again. We can be so Great just like we were once. Remember how Great it was in the 1950s, or 1920s, or 1820s… how far back are we going?

We’re not going back – ha-ha-ha-ha – yes you are. Hold on, get ready, we’re headed back to our future’s past.

Kamala would have given everyone puppies. You didn’t want puppies. Now you get to drink Drano. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha…

And I get to watch. I hope you get everything you want. You deserve everything you get.

It’s what you want. It’s what you’ll get.

Aha-ha-ha-ha… this’ll be so fun, won’t this be fun? Let’s make Amerika Great – Again. I’m fine with Amerika’s ‘greatness’ – I’m White. I’m a man. I’m old and I’m leaving not arriving. I’ll be fine.

You, on the other hand… I suspect not so much. They’re making you Great – again. You should be grateful. There’ll be some suffering for some at the beginning, but its what we all need to do to be Great – again.

With the all-star cast he’s assembling – only the finest – he’ll lead Amerika to our Greatness… Again. Remember how wonderful things used to be?

Not like now. Not like how dark and evil our nation’s become. We need a purge of our evil inside – our enemy within. It won’t be too bad, it won’t last long.

Have you ever been through a purge of your evil inside? Wait. I hear they’re fun.

Aha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha… and look, it’s only November still, this group of our best-and-brightest he’s assembling haven’t even started to make Amerika Great to their vision of our greatness.

It’s not even started. We’ll still get to enjoy this for four… years – day-in and day-out, week-after-week, month-after-month… year after year… with no escape.

No end.

He gets to do whatever he wants to us. He has unlimited power and absolute immunity for anything he does as president – for anything he does.

Wait… the universe is always telling me to wait. We still have December to get through before we begin becoming… Great.

January will be our times of Great Celebration. I suspect he’ll pardon all the Jan 6 Patriots as one of the first things he’ll do, don’t you think? That’ll send a clear message to everyone – no matter what you do… Trump will pardon you.

Then… well, you could of all had puppies. Now, you get to drink Drano. Don’t struggle, it’ll only make it worse. Accept your fate – drink it – you have no choice.

Stop struggling. Accept your fate.

Your life – their choice. Aha-ha-ha-ha-ha…

Wait.

Wait, wait, wait, wait… it’s coming for you soon. Are you ready? Are you ready to be Great… Again? I’m so excited.

I know what puppies are. I’ve never watched an entire nation drink Drano. Mmmmm, so tasty… I hope.

Hope? Remember when there was Hope?

Abandon all hope where you’re going. You’re going to get what you deserve, and apparently you don’t deserve puppies.

You deserve to be Great… Again. Aha-ha-ha-ha-ha, and I get to watch.

How words control your reality .

Folks don’t wanna listen to, when I tell em to own positivity .

Stop saying ” I’m sorry ” instead say, ” I regret ”

All that’s lost and supposed to be yours will be yours , returned ..even lost time ….

Saying ” I can’t negates that you can.

Asking the Universe/God/Divine , for a specified thing , then changing your mind , constantly , speaks of your wobbling ..there will be delays .

So choose your words carefully… Especially your self talk .

Apply this to money , I will have , instead I don’t have …

The Impact of Our Actions

The way you treat me, changes me. In the delicate dance of human interaction, we often forget the profound impact our actions have on others.

When we treat someone with insensitivity, disregard, and callousness, we leave invisible scars that alter the fabric of their being.

It takes a sincere apology, a heartfelt acknowledgment of the pain caused, to mend the broken threads and weave the connection back together.

Intentions matter a lot, never forget that.

They are the silent architects of our actions, shaping the way we interact with the world.

When intentions are pure and kind, they build bridges of trust and understanding.

But, when they are tainted with selfishness or indifference, they erect walls that divide and isolate.

Don’t play with emotions, for they are stored in our so-called memory bank.

Each interaction, each word, each gesture is recorded and remembered.

You may be forgiven, but people never forget how you made them feel.

The echoes of those feelings linger, influencing future interactions and shaping the way we perceive each other.

In the end, it is the way we treat each other that defines our relationships.

Let us strive to treat others with kindness, respect, and empathy, for these are the foundations upon which lasting connections are built.

Let us remember that our actions have the power to change others, and let us choose to change them for the better.
