The last time I talked I talked about creating prosperity and abundance and I mentioned 2 different authors who have 2 different viewpoints of dealing with a lack of finances. In some ways, I went a little too far at lashing out my rage against Barbara Ehrenreich for writing her Nickel and Dimed Book for pointing out that the financial situation for a lot of people in this country really sucks, but still, I prefer people who come up with solutions to the problem, which is why I liked the You Can Heal Your Life book by Louise Hay. Besides Louise Hay, another motivational speaker I listened to is Tony Robbins. I saw the infomercial for Tony Robbins Personal Power tapes, which talks about unleashing your unlimited potential to create abundance and wealth in your life and those tapes can change your life. They mentioned on the infomercial that it would cost $249 to purchase Tony Robbins Personal Power tapes and I was thinking to myself, that fucking bastard, I can't afford $249 to purchase those tapes, I have so many other bills I have to worry about paying, but then came Napster! Thanks to Napster, I was able to download most, but not all of Tony Robbins Personal Power program for free. Napster may be gone, but there are still other file sharing programs on the inter-net in which you can still download Tony Robbins Personal Power program. Some people may think that this is stealing, but Tony Robbins is a multi-millionaire and he will understand if you download his Personal Power programs and besides Tony Robbins has mentioned on many occasions that he is interested in helping people, so listening to his stuff for free is 1 way of helping people unleash their unlimited potential for success and abundance.
The thing that bugs me about Tony Robbins his he seems to be too pro-Capitalism and he seems to like yuppie scum too much, but if you can get around that, he still has a lot of empowering things to say. I enjoy listening to Tony Robbins tell me that I can unleash my unlimited inner potential to create an abundance of wealth and prosperity in my life doing what I enjoy doing. I then told a couple of people who I thought were more intelligent than they turned out to be and I told them that I am going to become a writer and make a living at it and then they told me that artists have to starve. What about artists who are fat? Why are these people deciding for me that I need to starve? Tony Robbins told me that I can make millions of dollars at writing and then some fucking asshole comes along and tells me that I have to starve. I will not starve because someone decides for me that I ain't worthy of achieving my dreams. I have more respect for myself than that. In fact, I am not only against starving, just because I am a writer, I like to eat at all-you-can eat buffets and I really eat a lot. In fact, sometimes I eat so much, I end up throwing up, so the next person who tells me that I have to starve for being an artist, I am going to eat at an all-you-can-eat buffet and I am going to overeat on purpose and I will then throw up all over them!
I would like to pay tribute to Robert who wasn't an artist, but he couldn't find any job that paid more than minimum wage, which means that he was poor. Despite that, Robert got to drive a real nice car and he had cable TV too with all the movie channels! Robert also weighed 376 pounds and let me tell you something. Robert did not starve! Robert was a foodaholic! So how did Robert get enough money to support his food addiction? By committing credit card fraud. Robert had over 125 credit cards and he paid for his meals with his credit cards. Robert also bought a car on his credit card and he even bought a condo with his credit card too. The problem is Robert was 100s of thousands of dollars in debt, but Robert would pay of his credit card bills by getting new credit cards and taking money out on them to pay off his other credit cards. Now, you may be wondering if Robert used his credit card to pay for cable TV? No. Robert decided to steal cable TV. Some people think that what Robert did was illegal and I even heard that a warrant had been issued for his arrest, but then Robert suffered from heart failure and died when he was only 33 years old. I hope that Robert is looking down and listening to me speak at this very moment, but what I really hope is that Robert eating something at this very moment! The problem is Robert was obese and was under an extreme amount of stress for being so deep in debt, but I strongly believe that if Robert did not end up getting so deep into debt, he would still be alive today because extremely obese people live shorter than other people, they don't usually die when they are 33, but I do give Robert credit of 1 thing besides his credit cards. At least he didn't starve, but there's got to be a better way.
I met Robert's family and they were white trash scum, which contributing to him becoming so fucked up. No one ever taught Robert and he didn't have enough self esteem so that he could unleash his unlimited potential to create abundance and wealth in his life, so he committed credit card fraud instead, so he can eat. I don't believe that it should be all the government's responsibility for a person's financial well being, but I think the government should have some of the responsibility. For example, they should have classes in the public schools teaching kids how to achieve prosperity and abundance in their lives, especially in low-income neighborhoods. They should have the kids listen to Tony Robbins Personal Power CDs and tapes in the schools, so they will grow up with a feeling of empowerment and hope, but most schools probably don't have kids listen to Tony Robbins Personal Power tapes and CDs, even though it will empower them so they will grow up to be happy and have lots of money. So, why is it that most schools don't have kids listen to personal power tapes and CDs? I'll tell you why. They don't teach Tony Robbins Personal Power because the schools in this country suck and they blow. The people who run the schools in this country are evil assholes and they are possessed by Satan. The people who run our schools want kids to grow up to be corporate slaves feeling afraid, powerless and helpless, so they feel that they ain't got a choice, but to go out and work at shit jobs that suck. If the schools taught empowerment, more people would be happy, crime would go down and fewer people would be addicted to drugs, but the corporate scum of this country wants people to feel trapped and helpless.
The good news is you can fight Satan if you want to be overcoming all the bullshit beliefs that people associate with money. For example, a lot of people will say, "money isn't everything." It is usually middle-aged rich ladies who don't work who say that kind of shit. Sure money ain't everything. Money ain't being broke, money ain't starving, money ain't being homeless, but last but certainly not least, money ain't being stuck on the road with a broken down piece of shit car. Gee, isn't it so great when you don't have money?
All money is is a flow of energy. A lot of people say shit like having money is bad or it means that you are selfish. Well, besides buying a lot of cool things, money can be donated to charities. Well, most charities suck, but if I was rich I would donate a substantial amount of money to people and things who deserve it. I would donate a substantial amount of money to college and community radio stations, because mainstream corporate radio stations suck. It would truly give the power to support something that I truly believe in. Remember that you have 2 choices. You can either listen to Tony Robbins who wants you to create abundance and wealth or you can listen to Satan who wants you to be poor. It is better to listen to Tony Robbins!
I agree that poor people fucking suck. A person who ain't striving to become rich is not cool and that's why Pat talked about prosperity and abundance and part of Pat's 2002 vision of the world is for all cool people to become rich!
