Be picky with whom you invest your time in, wasted time is worse than wasted money. - Unknown

As long as you are alive and even after you're dead(residual income), you can always make more money. However, your time on this earth in the land of the living is very limited. It is a precious,non recyclable resource that no one can afford to waste.

If you cannot be positive, then at least be quiet. -Joel Osteen

Remember when your grandmother told you that if you didn’t have anything nice to say to say nothing. Those words were some gold nuggets of wisdom. We need to speak positively whenever possible and surround ourselves with optimistic people because according to Proverbs 18:21, life and death (success and failure,freedom and bondage, etc,etc)is in the power of the tongue. When we cannot speak truthfully and positively we should be quiet and listen up for a solution to the problem we are facing. We need to listen twice as much as we talk anyway, which is why God gave us two ears and only one mouth.

When a man truly loves a woman,she becomes his weakness. When a woman truly loves a man,he becomes her strength. This is called the exchange of power.-Unknown

Shared strength, this is what takes place in really positive and nurturing relationships.

When the GOP says let’s eliminate [non existent] voter fraud this really means, let’s cheat to win by disenfranchising minority voters, because hey we’re desperate says The Lib Nerd. GOP voter disenfranchising is not only meant for racial and ethnic minorities also means let’s suppress the women’s vote,the LGBT vote,the poor people’s vote,the young people’s vote and on and on. How long do they think they can get away with this?
