Tap In To The I Am?

I am lazy.  I have been lazy for over 45 years.   I also don't like hard work!   If I went to a psychiatrist the Doc would say my  laziness is based in my fears.      I am probably in denial about my fear of failure, success, embarrassment, and of hard work.

I am looking for a easy magical solution for all of my challenges in life.     If you know how to tap in to the powers of the universe and manifest all desires please let me know.

Manifesting What You Want

In 2014 I will focus on creating habits that will help me manifest my goals.

I love talk. I love to run my mouth!   In 2014 I will create the habit of being silent for a few minutes every day.

Deepak Chopra: The best quote I know on meditation, by Franz Kafka.

You do not need to leave your room.
Remain sitting at your table and listen.
Do not even listen, simply wait.
Do not even wait, be quiet, still and solitary.
The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked.
It has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.

Almost A Hopeless Situation

Many years ago a Chicago Public School counselor told me I was trying to impose my middle class values on the underclass.    He was absolute right.    I have live in the city of Chicago my entire life and we African Americans are basically null and void in Chicago.
 
It's almost a hopeless situation that will not improve until a group of African American "leaders"  create a cultural movement that will inspire more working class and low income African Americans to value education.

·         A 1998 study by Thomas J. Gorman published in the Journal of Contemporary Ethnography found that some working-class parents, particularly the working poor, have a deep-seated disrespect for careers that require an advanced degree. Many working-class families do not see the value of higher education because they do not equate educational advancement with a higher standard of life. Other families are hesitant to encourage their children to pursue college degrees because they fear that the children will abandon their families and their roots if they move upward on the social scale.

The Lack Of Good Parenting

Chicago's African American community lacks visionary leadership and the marshaling of resources that will heal children who suffer from the lack of good parenting.

There are African American mothers and grandmothers who need a lot of help raising their boys.  Someone will have to go into the homes of these mothers and grandmothers and show them how to raise well behaved boys.  Someone will have to go in and change the culture in these homes.  Someone will have go in and help stabilize the homes these mothers and grandmothers so their boys can receive good grades in school.  Someone will have go in and tell these mothers and grandmothers they should not allow their boys hang out in the streets and stay up all night.

You may say I want to impose middle class vales on the underclass, if so, you are right.
