    War on traditional America

    I cannot avoid the feeling that our corrupt, progressive, greedy Marxist elites have sold out America for parts. Like never before in Judeo-Christian history, everything appears to be upside down. We can’t get rid of the impression that we’ve lost virtually everything close to our hearts. Our liberties, our freedoms, our history, our traditions, our common sense, our human dignity, our Constitution, and our way of life. Our politicians, our schools, our colleges, and our media organizations keep telling us that our morals, our values, and our principles are outdated. Yes, antiquated, obsolete, and out-of-fashion.  They must be replaced with something more contemporary, trendy, and politically correct.  We appear to be cornered and out of options. What is at play? Virtually everything. Our American Dream, American Way of Life. Our American spirit. Our American soul. We are experiencing the Second American revolution. This time, not with weapons, at least not yet. It is imposed on us by our enemies within who despise America and everything our country stands for. For almost a century, America is a thorn in the eye of Marxist ideology. Not because our beloved country might be bad in any way, just the opposite. Since the founding of America, we were the “shiny city on the hill,” a political system no dictatorship would ever be able to compete with.

    America, a magnet for millions: Why do so many people want to come to the US? (Episode #27)

    “A simple way to take a measure of a country is to look at how many want in. And how many want out.” (Tony Blair) Whatever you think, say, or tell about America, one thing is sure. In the most regions of the world, the American way of life is still extremely popular. However, America’s image in the world has two diametrically opposed appearances. • An endless admiration by people who love and appreciate the American way of life. • A politically, socially, and economically motivated incredible hatred and envy, mostly based on tyrannical worldview such as Marxism, Fascism, or Islamism. Nobody in the world can beat America’s popularity among international students. By a substantial distance, the US remains the most popular country for international students to study in, hosting over 30% of all international students in the world. The attraction to studying in the US springs from three principal factors: • Commitment to excellence • Freedom of choice • Appealing culture Nothing confirms America’s greatness better than the popularity among immigrants from all over the world, legal or illegal. In addition to our legal immigrants, about one million per year, over twenty million people, mostly from Middle and South America, Asia, and Africa, live and work in the US permanently. If this is not enough, thousands of illegals are streaming daily over our Southern border into their “land of dreams,” America.

    Why is America exceptional? (Episode # 26)

    America is an exceptional nation. This is not because of what the US has achieved or accomplished. America is exceptional because, unlike any other nation, it is truly dedicated to the natural law and principles of human liberty, grounded on the truths that all men are created equal and endowed with equal rights. These permanent truths are "applicable to all men and all times," Abraham Lincoln once said. As the Heritage Foundation points out, America's principles have created a prosperous and just nation unlike any other nation in history. “They explain why Americans strongly defend their country, look fondly to their nation's origins, vigilantly assert their political rights and civic responsibilities, and remain convinced of the special meaning of their country and its role in the world. It is because of its principles, not despite them, that America has achieved greatness.” As history proves, the American Founders appealed to self-evident truths, stemming from "the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God," to justify their liberty. They are as true today as they were in 1776. The US Constitution defines the institutions of American government: three distinct branches of government that make the law, enforce the law, and judge the law in particular cases. This fundamental framework gives the American government the powers it needs to secure our fundamental rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The Declaration of Independence also sets the basic vision for the American Dream, still respected and admired by millions of people throughout the world. Of course, the ultimate purpose of securing these rights and of limiting government is to protect human freedom. That freedom allows the institutions of civil society such as family, school, church, and private associations, to thrive, and form the habits and virtues required for liberty.

    Love you, America! (Episode #25)

    I was born in the very heart of Europe, full of rich history, culture, and a two-thousand-year-old tradition of feuds, wars, poverty, and human sufferings. As impressive some of the epochs might have been, they were all built on authoritarian, dictatorial, tyrannical systems. No such thing as democracy, personal freedom, or independence ever existed. With this kind of historical baggage, Europeans don’t comprehend what we call personal freedoms, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. When I was able to learn what the American soul and the American way of life really mean for the first time, I was moved, excited, encouraged, and motivated. I was instantly attracted to the American Dream and decided this is where I want to live, work, and spend the rest of my life. From my early childhood, I remember people talking about someone who “made it” in life. These were all folks who somehow managed to escape to America, the country of our dreams, the nation of unlimited opportunities, the place of the unrestricted potential of personal success. In our vision of the American Dream, America was the only place where a poor, helpless nobody had a chance to become a millionaire. A society where anybody could generate his own fortune with hard work, proper self-discipline, and limitless determination.

    Managing the Uncertainties in Our Life (Episode #24)

    We all love to be safe, certain, and resolved in our lives. We hate the uncertainty of any kind. Lose-ends make us worry about our future, and this is normal. Unfortunately, in our contemporary lifestyle one thing is certain: change. Adapting constantly to the changes around us makes us uncertain and worried. Managing the uncertainty in our life becomes a major undertaking only emotionally mature and intelligent people can manage. Let’s start at the root of the problem. Our brains are not hard-wired to the so-called modern lifestyle. When facing uncertainty, our brain signals fear causing all kinds of irrational reactions. The less reliable information we have about our future, the more fearful and irrational decisions we make. The reason is that in this scenario our brain shifts our control to the limbic system of the brain where all emotions, fears, and anxieties are generated. As soon as our brain faces uncertainty, it overrides our rational thinking and starts to over-react. With enough emotional intelligence, yes, there is something like that, we can trick our brain into making rational decisions instead of clouding our thinking. Spotting any kind of uncertainty, the primitive part of their brain is trying to take over but the logical part needs to be the one in charge. In scientific terms, we have to “quiet” our limbic system before it gets out of control. I’ll explain one proven technique how to do that by avoiding uncertainty causing irrational decisions.

    Promote Your Personal Growth and Self-Improvement (Episode #23)

    Are you satisfied with your life? Or do you think your personality has much more potential waiting to be discovered and developed? If you think, with your intellect, education, and background, you could make much more out of your life, you are not alone. Many people view themselves as underrated, undervalued, and under-appreciated. But, don’t blame others if you didn’t pursue your personal growth and development in the past. However, it’s never too late. What is this all about? Be aware that personal growth is the ongoing process of understanding and developing oneself in order to achieve one’s fullest potential. You must know that personal development is a vital part in a person’s growth, maturity, success and happiness. In short, it is the foundation of emotional, physical, intellectual, and spiritual health. Each person’s personal growth has a profound effect on every single aspect of our life. Whenever we grow on a personal level, we begin to feel more passionate about life in general. We are naturally more motivated because learning and growing add motivation and a sense of excitement. Our personal growth and development provide us with both the incentive and the means to become the best possible version of ourselves. What most people don’t understand, personal growth expands our frame of reference to include the people around us instead of becoming more self-centered. When our social environment expands, so does our awareness of the possibilities and opportunities around us. Our expanded mindset fills us with an attitude of eager anticipation as we start each new day.

    Beware of "Group Thinking"! (Episode #22)

    The way you make your decisions in life tells a lot which kind of personality you are. Do you love to agree with your friends and peers? Do you enjoy sharing their cultural opinions, personal preferences, public trends, societal judgments, and political conclusions? If so, you are a victim of group thinking, a collectivist, the opposite of an individualist. You are not forging your own opinions, lifestyle attitudes, and assumptions. On the contrary, you love to adopt the mantra of your group, you enjoy to be one of many, you want to be a sheepish follower of your trendy peers. Group thinking is a social phenomenon that occurs when the desire for group consensus overrides people's common-sense desire to present alternatives, critique a position, or express an unpopular opinion. In short, you don’t want to be an outsider, you want to think, behave, and decide exactly the way your peers do. There is an easy way how to spot a groupie. They have very specific characteristics. • Groupies are very happy if told that they are trendy, fashionable, or popular. • Groupies strongly adheres to the mindset of their friends, buddies, and peers. • Groupies feel under an intense pressure from their social environment to make the right decision. Group thinking is a cancer of our society. It is a self-imposed straightjacket, limiting our self-development, enhancement the quality of our lives, achieving more, becoming better people, and trying to be a better version of ourselves. Don’t be a groupie!

    Change Your Attitude, Change Your Life! (Episode #21)

    I still vividly remember when my parents told me, many years ago, you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. The old saying summarizes it all. People don’t want to listen to your complaints, accusations, or anger. They are fed-up with everybody’s bitching and negative attitude, but they are always receptive to a positive message. People love to listen to you when you are telling a pleasant, optimistic story. We can learn a priceless lesson from that. Negativity seems to be a result of fear, disappointment, and past failures. Why are so many people pessimistic in their outlook on life? It is because most people are unhappy, struggling, and this bleak outlook shapes their negative attitude. Their negative thinking automatically causes misery in their lives. For them, the glass is always half-empty, instead of being half-full. Being positive is one of the key characteristics of successful people. Losers people are negative, they think negative, feel negative, and act negative, which results in them living a negative life full of disappointment. Don’t let that be you. Negative thinking affects our brain dramatically. Our brain is pre-wired to our thoughts and attitude. Positive contemplations always lead to positive consequences, negative reflections always point to bad outcomes. Negative mindsets are stored in our brains and automatically shape our life. There is no escape: The negative energy always produces negative results and an unhappy outcome. The good part of the message is: You don’t have to keep it that way. It may be easier than you think!
