Things have since changed and now you barely say hi to anyone. What happened? The truth of the case is not easy to just put down on paper but it is not unknown is it. The answer is simple: you became what you feared and you are now full of shame. Your innocence is now gone. You are not a virgin anymore, you are yet to marry, you barely make enough to survive and the people you looked down on as simple dreamers with simple dreams are the one now calling the shots.<br /><br />What happened is you lost track of your dream. your intentions were beautiful like new stars and the freshness with which you approached your dreams was just something that should have been in everyone and everything, but along the way, as you walked the thin, thorn strewed path toward your treasure land, sweet fruits along the way called and caught your attention and the simple treasure that are always to be found as the wayfarer makes his way towards the candy shop stole your attention and as your lingered there, your thirst for dreaming was quenched and your hunger foe success was temporary lifted and that is how you lost you way.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />Is there hope for you? Can you once again walk the dusty paths of your village with your head held high and smile at everyone without shame? Can you dream again? Of cause you can but it is not a case of just picking up from where you stopped and dusting yourself up and going, no. It is a case of learning to dream again. Just like the way a patient who has been bedridden for months must learn to walk again, you too must learn to dream again. You must go back to the basic, sit down, analyze what uses to be your dream, adjust what ought to be adjusted, incorporate new factor and factoid that you definitely learned in your sickness time and give yourself a hard beating for being the stupid idiot you were and had been top let such a toddler-like thing like a dream out of your sight.<br /><br />A dream is never to be let out of sight. There are wolves and hyenas out there waiting to pounce and feast on its nimble fresh and sweet blood. Keep your dream near your mouth. Many wish to dream but they can't. It is too late for them. Do not let it be too late for you to dream. Dream!<br /><br /><br />tattoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10106739654167535613noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974996150813389603.post-38665136211249621762012-12-23T10:10:00.000-08:002012-12-23T10:10:01.630-08:00Summer Dance Camp - Reasons to Attend, Points to Consider TodayAre you interested in attending a summer dance camp? Is this
something that your child has been talking about? If you answered yes to
either of these questions, you need to do some homework before deciding
for or against this. Most people realize sooner rather than later that
this is a good idea, thanks to the many benefits.<br />
No
matter where you live, it is safe to say that you can find at least one
dance camp in your area. For example, Austin dance camps are very
popular. When you live in or around this city, you will have several
options.<br />
There are many good reasons to attend this type of camp:<br />
1.
A productive way to spend the summer. Let's face it: entirely too many
children are wasting time during the summer months. Many of them sit
inside, one day after the next, and do nothing more than play video
games or use the computer. While there is nothing wrong with this from
time to time, it is also important to get out of the house.<br />
2.
Exercise is important. It can be extremely unhealthy for a child to stay
inside all day, without getting any exercise. Fortunately, those who
attend a dance camp will always be on the move.<br />
3. Meet others
with the same interests. It is difficult for some children to make
friends. When attending a summer dance camp this is no longer a problem.
Instead, it is easy for everybody to make friends and communicate with
people who have the same interests as them.<br />
Now that you know more
about the benefits associated with a summer dance camp, it is time to
consider moving forward on this idea. Before you do anything, though,
you should focus on these three details:<br />
1. Dates. You have to
know how long the camp is going to last. Some are longer than others, so
keep this detail in mind as you compare your options.
<br />2. Cost. Like most parents, you are probably interested in learning
more about how much the camp will set you back. Although you are
required to pay a fee, you have to consider what you are getting in
return for the money.
<br />3. Schedule. How long does the camp last? What days of the week will
your child attend? For how many hours will they receive instruction
every day? These are the types of questions to answer as they pertain to
the schedule.<br />
Over the past few years, a growing number of people
have become involved with summer dance camp. If your child has asked
about this, you can begin to learn more by scouring the internet for
local information.<br />
With so many benefits, you should at least consider a summer dance camp for your child. <br />

Models should never be required to take a course or shoot with a particular photographer in order to be represented. Having said that, there is nothing wrong with agencies recommending preferred photographers that they would like you to shoot with. Use your best judgement in this case. Is the agency insisting that you use their "in-house" photographer or is the photographer someone who regularly shoots models for a variety of agencies? "In-house" photographers can signal a problem, but referrals to preferred photographers generally does not.<br /><br />Does An Upfront Fee Make The Agency A Scam?<br /><br />No, not necessarily. Just because an agency expects you to cover your initial start-up costs or they have a reasonable fee to join does not automatically make it a scam. The key word here is "reasonable". A couple of hundred dollars or less is one thing - a few thousand is another. No new model should ever pay thousands of dollars to start a modeling career.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />The other key here is "market". What market are you in? As a rule, agencies in large markets such as New York, London, Paris, Milan and Tokyo do not charge registration, administration or joining fees. They don't have to. There is plenty of work available for their models so the agency will earn its income from the commissions they charge the models and the clients. Generally, agencies earn 20% from the models' gross earnings and another 20% from the client. So, the agency actually earns 40% on a particular job.<br /><br />Agencies in smaller markets may not have this luxury. Most of the jobs in smaller markets are catalog, local television, fashion shows, trade shows, etc. The clients are usually small businesses but can, from time to time, be larger clients with bigger budgets. It can be tough for agencies in smaller markets to make ends meet by only earning commissions from bookings. That's why smaller agencies usually have a training program or offer workshops to help generate additional income. There is nothing wrong with this! Don't automatically think that the agency is set up just to rip you off. The vast majority of agents in smaller markets are hard-working, honest people who really love the business and want you to succeed.<br /><br />Working in smaller markets can be the ticket for a new model to get the experience and exposure to the industry they need in order to make it in a larger market with a prestigious agency. The catalog and local magazine tearsheets you get can help you get the work Visa's required in order to work in some international countries. Remember, as a professional model you are self-employed - you are not an employee of the agency. Reasonable expenses are to be expected - just use your best judgement.<br /><br />If An Agency Likes Me They Will Pay For Everything - WRONG!<br /><br />If I had a nickel for every time I heard that phrase I'd have a nice condo in Hawaii. Again, this all comes back to what market you are in. Smaller markets (outside of New York, London, Paris, Milan, and Tokyo) should not be expected to finance your career.<br /><br />If modeling agencies in larger markets such as Elite Models, IMG Models, New York Models, Wilhelmina or Ford Models are interested in signing you they will generally cover the expense of your first test shots, composite cards, website fees, rent at their model's apartment and other expenses to get you started. You will be expected to pay these expenses back from the income you earn from bookings you get through the agency. As soon as you are paid from a job the agency will deduct any amount owing to them from your check. So, as you can see, even these top agencies are not "free". Depending upon the agency you will still be responsible for your debt to them even if you decide to leave the agency or stop modeling. This is something you should discuss with the agency before you take on too much debt. A responsible agency will never let your debt become too high before taking steps to correct it. Having said that, agencies in Asian markets such as Tokyo, Singapore, Hong Kong and Taipei will cover all your expenses such as airfare, hotel, composite cards, website fees, etc. and if you are unable to earn enough to pay them back you will usually be sent home before you accumulate too much debt and you will not be expected to pay them back should your expenses exceed your earnings.<br /><br />The Bottom Line<br /><br />The bottom line here is that there is really no such thing as a "free modeling agency". There are major modeling agencies that may cover some of your start-up costs that you will be expected to pay back once you start earning an income. However, the majority of agencies in the smaller markets will expect you to cover all of your initial start-up costs such as test shoots, comp cards, website fees, etc. Whether you are a supermodel like Coco Rocha, Shalom Harlow or other established models there will be expenses incurred to start your modeling career and ultimately maintain it.<br /><br />If you are looking for scouts who can put you in front of legitimate modeling agencies then ModelScouts.com can definitely help!<br /><br />Simply sign up to create your account and then upload your photos.

It's true that the Summer months are our industry's busiest months. But, it doesn't matter if the weather is 100 degrees outside or 100 below freezing (okay that might be a bit too cold to enjoy a bounce house rental), children love partying on bounce house rentals for any number of reasons. Here are five reasons that you should consider renting a bounce house this winter.<br /><br />1) Children's birthday parties: Parties are always fun with an inflatable rental, no matter the time of year. Unlike adults, children aren't affected by the cold so easily. Jumping in an inflatable rental burns lots of calories and helps warm the body. Besides, is it fair that only the summer birthday kids can jump and slide for their birthday parties? I say no! Equal the playing field by renting a moonwalk for your next winter birthday party. Just tell the kids to wear an extra pair of socks, and they'll love every minute of it!<br /><br />2) Winter festivals at church: Tons of churches across the nation (and world for that matter) are gearing up for their winter festivals. Moonwalk rentals, along with inflatable slide rentals and other inflatable games are a perfect way to make your winter festival a smash hit! You will draw a larger attendance to your church event when you offer inflatable rentals for the children to play on. Why? Because children love them, and parents love having safe alternatives for their children during this hectic time of year.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />3) Winter festivals at school: Bounce house rentals are perfect for school fundraisers. By charging per child that uses the jumper, you can generate some serious money very quickly for your school. Of course, you may choose to just charge for admittance to the event, and not have someone collecting money and/or tickets at each inflatable ride. Or, maybe you just want the kids to come and have a good time. It doesn't matter the reason. Children will flock to your school event when they learn that you have rented jumpers and other inflatable equipment.<br /><br />4) Corporate Team Building: Much like school and church events, corporations are always looking for a way to entertain their employees and their families at this time of year. Bounce house rentals are a great way to bring the entire team together for a great cause; your company!<br /><br />5) Just because: The holiday season is one of the most stressful times of year. Shopping for the "perfect" gift is time consuming and difficult. Maybe you and your family just need an afternoon break from the hustle and bustle of this holiday season. Get a couple friends together and relieve some stress by jumping and sliding for hours.<br /><br />No matter what time of year it is, bounce house rentals can make your special event, well, special! If you are in or around Fort Worth, Texas, check out Bounce and Slide Texas next time you're ready to rent a bounce house.<br /><br />Bounce and Slide Texas asks the question: "Why just bounce, when you can bounce AND slide?"

We have top-quality inflatable party rental equipment ready to be rented in and around the Fort Worth area.

CHAIN, CHAIN, CHAIN... CHAIN, CHAIN, CHAIN... CHAIN OF FOOLS. DO YOU REMEMBER THIS GREAT SONG FROM ARETHA FRANKLIN? How many women do you think identify with it???<br /><br />If there is one LESSON I wish I would have gotten earlier in my life, it would be to break free from the chains of NEGATIVE LABELS myself and society put on my life.<br /><br />Can you believe... she's divorced again... I don't want to be single... Oh, I feel sorry for her, she can't have kids, she's an idiot to go back to him... man, can you believe how much weight she's gained... she is really looking old... boy, what a fool! You get the picture??? That is my story!<br /><br />What's your story? Were you called stupid as a child or by a husband? Did you file for bankruptcy? Have you never been married and labelled as an old maid? Have you never had children? Whatever the label, we most often identify with the negative emotion attached to harsh, cruel, unthoughtful words said about us.<br /><br />How unfortunate that we let other people's words or our own, have such a hold on our lives! They may be true circumstances but they are not who we are. Like a broken record, you replay it over and over in your mind and before you know it you start believing it. If you continue to wear the label, your chain will get tighter and tighter until you're ready to snap.<br /><br />You can break free and if you must wear a label, at least, wear one that tells the truth about who you are. If not, you will remain held captive and locked in your chain of labels possibly the rest of your life.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />First I want to say, a label does not define who you are!!! Let me say that again, a label does not define who you are. There are many aspects of our life. Until you make the choice to break free you cannot experience the bliss of freedom. For the first time in my life, I do not identify with being Miss or Mrs., single, alone, young, or old. I'm just happy being me! It is very liberating.<br /><br />I still get an occasional zing, like when someone says, can you believe they've been married three times? You would think they have the plague or something. Now, I just dismiss the thought and say that's not who I am.<br /><br />So, how do you break free from the chain of labels? You make a conscious decision to forget who you thought you were and discard all the harsh, condemning words you have heard from others or said about yourself over the years. Just remember, God created you! He knows everything about you and loves you any way. People make mistakes. Learn from them and create a beautiful life for yourself. You deserve it!<br /><br />Once you have discarded the old thoughts that have condemned you, then you can begin to relabel your thoughts with kind words. Surround yourself with people who will encourage and build you up. You are more than any old label. You are a courageous, strong, amazing woman. Write a new song for your life!<br /><br />Just like Aretha said, "One of these mornings that chain is gonna break". Why don't you let it be today???!!!<br /><br /><br /><br />tattoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10106739654167535613noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974996150813389603.post-74770092184956909212012-12-23T10:03:00.001-08:002012-12-23T10:03:27.543-08:00Fun Designing Customized Playing CardsThere are quite a lot of people turning to customized playing cards to establish their individuality these days. Whether they are professional poker players who wish to advertise for their sponsors, an average Joe looking for a creative outlet for some old school playing with friends and family, or even personalizing a deck of cards for someone special. Originality is not yet lost for card fanatics and people longing to express their ideas in a different and fun way.<br /><br />The first step to personalizing one's cards is to decide what would most fit the subject's needs; what topic or design would be most beneficial to the "cause". There are several websites that will allow one to create a design of their own and submit them for approval and printing. This is not unlike designing an original tattoo or business logo, the design belongs to the artist only. Painting the canvas for one's own deck of playing cards is becoming increasingly popular worldwide. The possibilities are endless for an original design.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />One also has the option of submitting a favorite photograph (copyright permitting) that proves to have a specific meaning to one's life and/or experiences. This is not limited to just notorious photography; one also has the right to submit personal works. Most commonly used are personal photographs of an incredible sky or seascape. Perhaps they visited some special place that is only known to them, the photographer, which really influenced their life in some positive way. If they are involved in an intense game of poker, gazing upon their own work of art will serve as somewhat of a confidence booster, a real "tension tamer" if you will.<br /><br />If one is sponsored to play cards, advertising the sponsor would be a great way to show appreciation, and spread the business. It would also be an intelligent way to intimidate the opponent, depending on whom they are and who their own sponsors are. It is important to remember to request consent from the sponsor before one shows them off to the playing world. Ultimately being sued for illegal advertising would not be good for business.<br /><br />Lastly, perhaps one is seeking a unique gift to give to that "special" someone. People personalize gifts all the time, such as quilts with family portraits in them, or a personalized mug, a t-shirt. Why not consider doing the same thing with a deck of cards for one who likes to play? Think about transforming a regular deck of cards into a "lucky" deck of cards. It doesn't have to be a photograph, or even an original design. Perhaps it could be some simple words of kindness or inspiration. Whatever the case, one should take the time to make their gift something to remember.<br /><br />Regardless of the reasoning behind personalizing one's cards, there is a wide variety of companies out there waiting to assist and guarantee customer satisfaction. The majority of card-printing companies have online stores. Original ideas and expressions of one's self are considered to be one of the cleverest ways to design a deck of cards. Not unlike the imagination, the possibilities of personalization are limitless.<br /><br />David Sheath is greatly experienced in the photo gifts industry. His website Make Your Own Gift Ideas offers more than 400 fully customizable products, including affordable customized playing cards that can be easily personalized with your own photos, logos, designs and text.<br /><br /><br />tattoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10106739654167535613noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974996150813389603.post-37278234429803673332012-12-23T10:01:00.001-08:002012-12-23T10:01:58.242-08:00Mental Gymnastics: Becoming a Mental Powerhouse! Part IIMental lethargy is the reason the U.S. has fallen from being the most respected nation in the world. There is an outcry against the physical lethargy in this country and there are many organizations that are seeking to correct that. But, few people are triumphing the stimulating of the mental energies! What can you do to help yourself and others?<br /><br />1) Live intentionally. I recently read an article by Deepak Chopra on LinkedIn about living consciously. What he said makes so much sense to me because it's the same thing I have taught for years. As you read in Part I of this series, I believe that most people live life unconsciously, without much thought. What this means is that most people don't know their true purpose for being. Or, if they do, they aren't living congruent with their purpose. So, living intentionally and with your real purpose is the basis for becoming a mental powerhouse. It gives you direction and meaning.<br /><br />2) Require excellence from yourself and what you do. I was rather inspired by a conversation I recently had with a new acquaintance. During our hour-long conversation, he repeatedly used the word "excellence" when describing what he wants to be, wants to do, even who he chooses to have as clients he requires that they are wanting to achieve excellence. By excellence, I don't mean being nit-picky and fault-finding. People like that are gutless individuals that are looking for an easy way out or to tear someone else down to their level. Synonyms for excellence are: fineness, brilliance, distinction and quality. When you require excellence from yourself, it means that you aren't going to settle for the mundane, like what I described in Part I. You will be looking to find the next gem, the next nugget of life that will raise you up, make you shine, and distinguish you from your peers.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />3) Look for freshness in life. Again, as I mentioned in Part I, instead of taking the same path to work and many times not even knowing how you got there, why not try a different route? You know by now that I love to tell stories, so here's one for you: I recently was on my way home. I was going my usual route until I noticed a road that I don't pay much attention to, other than to watch for cars exiting it. I decided, "Why not? Why not take it to see where it leads me?" What I discovered was a better way home! It helps me avoid some long-term road construction going on and is just plain easier. My point is that we can find ways to make out lives more interesting and enjoyable if we just look for, and appreciate, the "little" things.<br /><br />4) Do mental gymnastics. What are mental gymnastics? When you consider that any professional athlete practices their sport repeatedly and for many hours to get the results on the field, on the court, on the track, or wherever their sport takes place, you know they have invested themselves physically, mentally, emotionally, and financially. Now, what would happen if an athlete were to practice incorrectly? What if they practiced for the wrong sport altogether?! Can you imagine Danica Patrick working on dunking the basketball when she's preparing for a race? Or, can you imagine Phil Mickelson working on his rifle practice when he's preparing for The Master's? It doesn't make sense, does it? But, that's what many people do every day. They may have a goal to be wealthy, but, in their mind, they tell themselves they don't deserve wealth, that wealth is out of their reach, that somehow wealth is wrong. They are practicing the wrong thinking, the wrong beliefs, and the wrong values. A very simple mental exercise is to pay attention to the words you use. For instance, how often do you use the words "should", "shouldn't", "must", "mustn't" "have to", "need to", "it's necessary", "I'm not allowed to"? These are called Modal Operators. These words convey the thoughts of nothing or possibility. When you use these words you have come up with ways that are "right", "proper", and "the only way". The next time you use one of the words above, ask yourself, "If I shouldn't, what would happen if I did?" "If I have to, what will happen if I didn't?", and so on. In life, there are very few absolutes. In fact, everything is partially true and dependent on the context in which it is framed. So, recognize the perceptions of other people. Cast aside the judgments that fix you to single points of view and obstruct progress. You will find your mind feeling toned right away.

On a deeper level it is a feeling of thankfulness and appreciation. Coming from a place of gratitude will open up your life and cause a snowball of blessings.<br /><br />Do you have an attitude if gratitude? What is its contribution on your life? How is this connected with success? Can this be learned? Why living with gratitude makes you happy? My article will impart a few ideas about its relevance to accomplishments in life.<br /><br />Historically, gratitude has been contributed with world religions. But today, it has become the prevailing current of thought in psychology. Without any doubt, this has already played a great role in your life. Not all the people in the world harness this character. For me, it is vital to live each day as it assists you in making all 8 key areas of life fall in to its perfect place.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />Here are the reasons why being grateful can make you successful.<br /><br /> Being thankful is a construction of good character.<br /><br />When you say "thank you" to someone, it creates a spiritual feeling of happiness to both the giver and the receiver. Just the same as a smile is infectious, so is passing gratitude. However, we should always bear in mind that this doesn't have to material thing. A thank you is not only for goods or rendered services. This can also be physical or emotional help to someone.<br /><br /> It can translate bad things to good things. Finding the blessing in a bad situation will bring you to a place of gratitude.<br /><br /> It cues you to become thankful to everyone. A bare thank you can support a heavy heart to hold on. A lot of people will befriend you. You are not just helping others; you are also helping yourself to be more polite to others. It tremendously softens someone's heart.<br /><br />There are also good practices to strengthen your faith, mind, and body.<br /><br /> Every morning, remember the things that you are grateful for. Keep a Diary and soon you will see a list of things you are grateful for. This is not just for a certain type of person, It is for you.<br /><br /> Give thanks that you have opened your eyes and you were endowed with a new day to change and live a new life. You can never be sure to wake up the next day. So, be thankful.<br /><br /> Gratitude towards your good health, good community, and wealth is also needed to be expressed. You can share your blessings with other people and make them happy. A simple gift of carefully selected words can fortify another's belief in themselves.<br /><br /> And lastly, the hardest thing to do; be thankful of your mistakes. Know them and accept the fact that you have had made such failures. This helps you wake up and learn from your mistakes. Count your blessings in disguise!<br /><br />Not every one of us is equipped with all the needed gears to face life.
