I think Obama is taking this school opportunity to get in front of high school voters for 2012. We know the young base that is misinformed and not involved in politics overwhelmingly voted for Obama. He is just collecting a few more.

Can Making Dreams Come True Be As Easy As Brushing Our Teeth

Masami Sato — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 16:09:11 +0000

What if making dreams come true is just so easy? Can we let go of our doubts? Is it possible? How can we do it so magically so that it is as easy as brushing our teeth? This excerpt from ONE Book by Masami Sato shows us exactly how to do it step-by-step, preparing you to start walking towards your dreams today.

We all have dreams. But not all of us have the faith in ourselves, that we can have and live those dreams in our lifetime. Actually, the secret to have such certainty is simple. And the reason why we doubt it so much is also straightforward.

We can now start by asking ourselves the first question..

Why don’t we do everything we always wanted to do?

Often, our thoughts stop our actions. Sometimes the more we think about it, the less we become committed to accomplish what we initially wanted to do. Because the more we think about it, we come up with more and more reasons for not doing it.

Is it then possible to be sure that we will definitely accomplish what we want to do in our life?

Yes, definitely! For a start, let us look at the power of habits..

If we have to be present at a meeting tomorrow night, we would not be spending too much of time thinking whether we would be able to get there or not. We would not be worried about the possibility of having a car accident and failing to attend the meeting. In fact, when we go to use the toilet, we are unlikely to worry if it might be out of order.

We have so much more sureness about these types of ‘normal’ activities we indulge in every day. They are the habits.

But, we doubt our dreams

The interesting part is that there are several things that we are not very sure about. These are the things that we really want to do in our lives – our Dreams!

So, what is the secret for the assurance that we will realize our dreams?

First: Decide to make it a daily habit!

We can begin with being more assured about our actions to fulfil our desires – the type of dreams that really nurtures our life.

So, for example, if your dream is to give and contribute to society and giving is a key desire in your life, there is no reason to doubt that it’s possible for you to contribute to others. It can just become one of your daily habits.

Second: Make is as important (and equally easy) as brushing one’s teeth.

Making a dream come true can be just like cleaning the teeth. It gives a very uncomfortable feeling if teeth are not brushed for a long time, isn’t it? Nobody spends hours thinking which brand of toothpaste to use or postpone brushing till there is some specific need to show clean teeth. We feel ill at ease with teeth that are not clean. So we just clean them. It is as simple as that.

Coming back to our example, if giving is so important to us, we have to ask ourselves certain questions: What if giving is in fact of as much importance as brushing our teeth? What if it is making us feel good? What if it is helping to maintain our health?

Irrespective of how much or how little we own right now, we surely can start offering it and sharing it today. As such, no matter how improbable the realisation of dreams might appear, we can start walking towards them today. We can definitely do, if we see it as a crucial issue, a top priority that we should stick to every day! Then we will be uncomfortable if we do not do it. Just like cleaning our teeth.

and Third: Give first, then we will get

When we give first before we actually fully have what we really want – what we dream of – we send a very powerful message to ourselves that says, “there is enough, and more will come”. It allows us to experience the joy today – the joy of giving.

If you want to be prosperous, be generous. And then you would be blessed with loads of everything. If you are knowledgeable enough to do so, do not be scared of teaching others. And you will learn more. If you want to share things, share freely. Do not expect anything in return. Just let go. And joy will automatically be returned to you. The simple joy o f giving.

Do not be scared of sharing and giving what you have, for it will not thwart your plans of achieving your purpose, whatever it may be. It may only help you to fulfil your dreams faster. And your journey there will be one of total contentment.

But are not habits very small, when compared to our BIG dreams?

Just do it, don’t worry about the ’scale’

Because anything is possible in life. We might start things in a small way. And these small things will always take us to another action, and another. Having certainty in our small actions and executing them one by one always takes us forward. But if we thought it was ‘impossible’ to do something now because it just seemed ‘too big’, it will never happen.

The secret to achieve your dreams has always been here, and will always be here. The people who create miracles, inspirations, and the real sense of joy, already know this. They are always using it.

Dreams and miracles are not accidents. We create them through our choices.

So, are you likely to start moving towards your dreams today?

Creative Toys and their Benefits on Young Minds

Oliver Jackson Carter — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 07:24:51 +0000

by Oliver Jackson Carter

It is thought to be impossible to teach creativity, but there are certain kinds of toys that are made to help bring out creativity in the minds of young children, meaning that from a young age, they can start developing their own unique, creative personality.

Creative toys provide children with the tools they need to make something of their own, which gives them an overwhelming sense of achievement and joy, particularly when they have physically created it themselves with their own two hands. The long term benefit that this will have on their minds creativity will be immense.

Although other children’s toys allow them to be creative in some ways, like the way that they can create scenarios for action figures in creative ways, but creative toys allow children to create things that have never before existed. The satisfied sense of achievement that a small child gets from creating something brand new can be a catalyst for further creativity in later life.

Children’s creative toys are often simply scaled-down, safer versions of equipment or supplies that adults use, like a set of toys that have been made by the Discovery Channel, the Ultimate Pottery Wheel and the Sew Fun Sewing Machine.

These toys are just smaller, more child-friendly versions of the adult sewing machines and pottery wheels. These are outlets of creativity for adults, but they are too hazardous for children to use, and so these kinds of appliances have simply been scaled down and had the sharp edges and fast moving parts replaced with safer alternatives. These toys provide children with outlets for creativity from an early age.

There are creative toys that are simpler but still allow children to release creativity at an early age such as sets of paints or building blocks, but as with the sewing machine and pottery wheel, they only teach children about visual arts, there are however toys that explore other avenues of creativity within young minds.

There are creative toys that allow children to interact with characters or creations such as digital pets. These kinds of toys are a great way open up a sense of creative responsibility in a consequence-free environment in young, developing minds.

Creative toys therefore, are immeasurably better for your child’s development and creativity, not just while they are young, but in later life as well.
