How to stay positive? Be Grateful for what you have and what you’re going through, good or bad. Reflect on what you have learned, the growth and progress you have made, and what these new circumstances can teach you. This is scriptural advice and it works. Choose peace and happiness in all circumstances and always look for the positives :)

You both are doing good. Great advice. You are both living so much, and already have very good wisdom. In The Bible. Their is The Book of Wisdom. 😄 I like the advice. Plus it reminds me of 2 programs that have professional psychologists. 10am, mon-fri “More 2 Life”, n “The Dr. Is In”, 1pm mon-fri. The 1pm psychologist was on Oprah and other shows. Plus he is funny 😆. Well, great 👍🏽 job, and it will be cool 😎 to see Will, and Taylor back. Greetings and blessings. 01/08/22.

If Amala is in to fat white dudes with “hillbilly tendencies” (or so I’m told), I know just the man for her.
Less common to see white dudes with black chicks than black dudes with white chicks, but I can assure you - it’s not a race thing like the media would have you believe. It’s a culture thing. Personally, I would NEVER date a ghetto chick regardless of her color.. but I’d happily date a woman of any race who shares my values.
@frankmez9370 Says:
How about the word “forgiveness”? The other day got to see Dennis P, talked about how he changed in his life. Believer, did but not sure 🤔, then back. And now reads The Bible. Mostly the Old Testament. And to me that is wonderful. And you can see it in this wonderful communication out let. Jesus as a man of Jewish life. Taught so much in such little time. And it was said that all he did alone, all the books 📚 of his life time wouldn’t have enough room to tell what he did. I wanted to cut this point briefly. It is very difficult. So much to unpack and explain. It literally takes a life time. Look at where Mr. Dennis is. Amala and the rest are so blessed to have the eyes to see and understand a man like Mr. Dennis. I like to say he gave them a coupon. A coupon in life teaching. To save them the long journey of life to get to where Mr. Dennis is. I have try to do that too. Cause in the end their is a name that I like to say in my mind. Coupon. You have 10cents, or 5,000 bucks! You are saving! When you all talked on to learn you basically have to hit rock bottom. Sorry Amala got punched. I got sucked punched too. When I was 14yrs old. On the noise and bleeding 🩸. Didn’t hurt, but I wanted to fight. And he ran. Cause he knew he would loose. The lady’s of the toco stand yelled at him, and said I know your mom! They gave me a bunch of napkins and it was like nothing in the end. I knew him, and I never looked for him cause I left that small town after living their almost 4yrs to learn language, culture, and know where my father is from. 37 kilometers from Guadalajara, Mexico 🇲🇽. I came back home lived my life. What do you know? I went to bakery, that is here now in the US, that is from my dad’s home town in Mexico 🇲🇽. The owner is has several brothers and one of them was a childhood friend of my uncle. Well, guess what? The kid that suckered punched me. Is in this bakery about 30yrs older, and me too! Well, he was with a new born in hand, and with his wife and mother in law. I see him and recognized’em! Then he recognized me! I acted like no big deal. And he looked liked I was about to say something to him. But I was asking the baker about their brother. Then I paid and left. I forgot and didn’t for get. But after so long. Why start it up again? I realized I “forgave”, a long time ago. In my life, I too read and learn from The Bible. Their is a coupon in their! The person makes the word “truth”, be a living person. The word truth is a person! You want truth, and that person’s name is literally of the meaning “Savior”, “he saves”. A coupon. Jesus! I see this communication system, have so much wisdom. And we learn from one another. And for generations now. Has it to be from Jesus. Thanks for so many truths, you both did today! It make me proud to be a fellow countryman, of you both, and of Mr. Preger. Jesus asked, isn’t it easier to forgive than not? And he did it in many ways. It is so time consuming look for a lawyer, file a charge, wait for a court process. And still not be satisfied. You can learn to save from the hassle. From the coupon myster. Who’s name literally means to save. Savior. Jesus. Well done y’all! Thanks again. 01/08/22.

NOT A SECRET.
usa IS THE MOST FAT. (and old) and thats why our deaths per capita is higher than other countries
Knew this over a year ago just looking at stats.
Off top of my head i think we have like 40% more population that is over age of 55 than other countires (we have a very old population)
and i think it is like over 60% of our elderly also have more than 1 serious illness (which is way higher than other countries)
ANd then there is the EXTREME OBISIEITY of all Americans that ALL AMERICANS are in denial about.
If you think you're not fat you're probabaly obese
and if you think you are fat- you're probably near death. the reason is nearly all illness is realted to obiesity. just like covid.
in 2019-2020 flu season Covid was only around 70 deaths per 100,000 (per year). It did get a lot higher though over time and i think we are at like 140,000 deaths per capita (most taken from other deaths btw).
YET HEART DISEASE is still over 500,000 deaths per capita. But 90% of heart disease deaths are preventable and caused from diet and lack of exercise.
heart disease is caused by mostly by obeistity, and because of overeating saturated fats and cholestrol which are both only found in ANIMAL Products.
but we don't ban eggs, bacon or meat.
30%+ body fat is obese for Men.
You will be hard pressed to find a meat eating man that is not obese.
especially one over the age 55. Old men are all obese.
@juliebaker6969 Says:
The thing that the "woke" community in general, and the alphabet and transgender communities in particular can't seem to grasp is that; just because you don't agree with them, DOESN'T mean you hate or fear them. Sure there are people out there who actually DO hate and/or fear them, but they are a small minority, compared to those of us who simply DISAGREE with them.
For example; I believe that anyone with a Y chromosome is a male, and anyone WITHOUT a Y chromosome is a female. That's basic biology. Having surgery to mimic the anatomy of the opposite sex, DOESN'T change your genetic makeup, and therefore, in MY opinion, DOESN'T change your gender. Does that mean I hate transgender people? Of COURSE not! My own grandson, is transgender, he wants to have surgery to appear to be a woman. I love my grandson. And while I disagree with his decision, he is an adult, and has EVERY right to make such a change. I also have friends that are transgender, and the same applies to THEM. They're adults, and they have the right to transform themselves into whatever physical form they want that is medically possible. I will STILL personally see them as the gender they were BORN as, but that doesn't mean I don't love them and won't be there for them when and if they need me.
But if they actually care about ME as much as I care about THEM, they won't ask me to lie and call them by pronouns that fly in the face of their genetics. And they ALSO won't try to shame or force me to change my position on transgenderism in general. And they CERTAINLY won't try to cancel or dox me for my opinion. They will respect MY beliefs and rights in the same way I respect THEIRS, DESPITE our differences of opinion on the subject.

Another example of women being equal to or greater in their propensity for violence compared to men. Especially drunk females. Extremely violent people. I bounced for 25 years and was the first to hire a female bouncer to manage the female violence. It worked!
@grcarie Says:
When all the other kids, and even some parents, keep telling the white kids that their whiteness makes them different, racist, or unable to understand their human experiences, they themselves have established a division based on race. White kids stop making friends with people of color because people of color make them feel judged and unwanted, whether they deserve it individually or not. That is CERTAIN to push a racial divide.

As a child I was friends with everyone. Kids aren't racist they learn or are taught that. The best thing you could do is learn about each other, learn different cultures. Race is irrelevant culture is a different thing. I love learning about different cultures.

As a parent to white kids they really can take their advice and shove it. My kids will not be raised to see race in any way other than a physical characteristic.
If they keep defending police you will see the new wild wild west. People will deputies themselves and take the law into their own hamds. You used to even see the mob doing it.

@random_eskimo_in_the_rockies Says:
As a Native American who struggled all his life with morbid obesity (I was 250 when I graduated in '82 and I got to over 700 before I lost the weight I have) I understand the problem with the feelings of shame that come along with being not only fat, but PROFOUNDLY FAT! However, I always blamed one person for my obesity, me. I finally did something about it, and I'm literally less than half the man I used to be. I also know that as I'm still obese, I run a higher risk from COVID, and I take the appropriate steps to protect myself. If someone called me fat, I didn't hate them whether they meant it as an insult or not, because luckily I had a loving mom who taught me that my value came from within, and from a God who expected me to follow His words. It's not fat shaming, it's good advice: If you're obese, lose weight. Yes, I know (better than you, likely) just how hard it is. Things worth having are worth fighting and working for.

Too many Black parents raise their children to have the same bitter chips on their shoulders as they do, their children become angry and bitter towards white people from a young age. Should someone write a letter to those “Dear black parents”?

Lefts: Dear White parents, tell your kids to socialize with non-whites.
But, Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, etc. It's ok for you to not socialize. You a minorities so you can't be racist. except the Asians have to be denyed to universities because they are too smart.
Normal People: Why are you stereotyping groups of people? isn't what you're saying racist in itself? 😒
@Marsha_Ann Says:
The exact same thing happened to me at a club as well! But the drunk girl was saying that me and my sister was taking too long in the bathroom stall, and when we got out the girl tried to attack us so I ended up getting into a physical fight with her and we all got kicked out of the club, but was still fighting outside of it smh these drunk girls ugh!

I think people who have gone through a lot of trials and tribulations often have the best advice. My mom went through the war in an internment camp during WW2. Having endured the bitter cold in uninsulated barracks and the heat of summers at Camp Minidoka, and other things that accompany being locked away, not to mention the persecution after the war, she always remained positive by saying, "it could be worse"! She would list off how things could be worse and before you knew it, you didn't feel like you had the right to complain!
@charlesbrunet1337 Says:
To stay positive, use service,reflection and 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18:
•Studies demonstrate a more fulfilled life comes when it is fashioned around supporting/serving others
•Reflection should allow you to look back on previous struggles and that you came out of it and even learned something and became stronger.
•1 Thessalonians tells us in all circumstances to give thanks and rejoice. It may be difficult for me to give thanks in the midst of my son's serious health issues, but I can give thanks for him, who he is, my other children and wife, etc.
@kingchron1798 Says:
I thought young people get vaccinated so they are less likely to spread covid and so the knock on effect is older and at risk people are less likely to die. It's quite simple really. It's a numbers game. It doesn't mean that if an individual gets vaccinated that they are 100% not ever going to catch it. The vaccine is about entire populations.
