The 1440 Report issue 2by Rickey JohnsonYour FREE WILL LIFE CREDITS Account has been Increased!!!Hello and Great Day to Ya!!In the last report , a definition was established. That is Minutes are really FREE WILL Life credits and you are given 1440 Free Will Life Credits everyday for365 and 1/4 .. Days.You can not save them and they will automatically replenish each day.I have shared how quickly your life credits can be consumed by daily activites.Leaving about 300 Free Will Life Credits available to you , to do what you will.Well, let me expand on that a minute. Actually , the computation is based on a 5 day work week.The Great News is most folks get 1 or 2 days “off” to do whatever they will ( there is that word again). Regardless , if you are self-employed or a W2 worker, you get the time. W2 workers days are scheduled and Self-employed assigned.Now, that is fantastic news for that means you gain 1440 or 2880 FreeWill Life Credits. Now add that to your 300 Free Will Life Credits and you are now working with 1740 or3180 Free Will Life Credits.Now, here is the magic question - What will you do with your Free Will Life Credits?I already know, unfortunately, some will squander them. Lose never to return.The Greater and more exciting reality is many will take advantage of those Free Will Life Credits and apply them to helping better their life conditions.Those are folks this report is directed to. Those are the folks I want to fellowship with!!!Now, we have some real power of awareness for we are NOT talking about minutes, but Life. Precious FREE WILL Life!!!Manage your FREE WILL Life Credits with much regard to their value.My next report will address Control. Oh yes, this one word has caused more frustration, disappointment, confusion, and jublilation then any other you will encounter. Yes, How ones interpret that word and apply it , can effect you positively or very negatively. Amazing huh?Until our next communiqué, May Abundant Health and Great Wealth be your constant companions on the Road of Life.Networkingly yours,RickeyThe J.O.BYou will discover my reports will focus on awareness. Many of us are expending our FREE WILL Life Credit on others interpretation of Life. That we will address.Here is a statement, that often made about employed folks. That these folk have a “burden” call JOB which can be interpreted to mean “Just Over Broke”.I differ with this negative view of being employed, which I believe is good thing!!My interpretation of a JOB is “ Hallejulah!! I have JOY, for I am Overcoming Broke.”Everyday, I am blessed to make it to the JOB, that is what is my active consciousness shouts - JOY, JOY, JOY, I am overcoming Broke. I am so glad I have a JOB. My FREE WILL LIFE CREDITS are being used to my betterment and the betterment of others!!!!!!Actually, the job is tool to be used to help achieve overcoming broke. Simple huh?You may want to share this with next person who presents this tool called a JOB, as something you should try to eliminate from your life.visit- http://www.juniques.us

I love being a woman. I am a girly-girly and my three daughters are also. But I no longer have to wear make-up and be fabulous every day, in my early years of makeup and fashion, I would never be caught dead (or alive LOL) without makeup on and the latest brand name clothes on. I think back and I now realize that time period was actually be burdensome, feeling like I have to be all made up, all the time. Back then I felt like I wasn’t me, without all that. Thanks be to God for releasing me, now I look in the mirror and I’m not worried about what others may think, I have widen my view of the world and I now know that there is more to me than what’s on the outside. I have matured, Thank God. Not to say that I don’t wake up and say today is Glam day and make up and dress up. Date night I may put in little weave (being a cosmetologist) and the dramatic makeup (for a change from the more natural make up used for business trips). I love to discover new colors of eye shadow, blush, eye liners etc. Color is my thing but I personally don’t wear dramatic makeup, except on dates, or to beauty networking events.

According to Target Market News, in 2005 Blacks/ African Americans spent $719 billion dollars on goods and services. It is projected that the buying power of Blacks/ African Americans will be $1 trillion dollars by the calendar year 2010. When I recently Googled 'black buying power' I was surprised by the number of professional articles I found that talked about how to market to Black/ African American people. Of the few articles I perused, not one of them talked about their corporate/ organizational responsibility to the communities they want to fleece. Not one of them mentioned the needs that exist in many of our communities. I was only five or six articles in when I got a clear image of a world (with few exceptions) that wants to take everything they can from us and give NOTHING back in return.An adage that I was taught many moons ago simply states: He who has the gold rules. It seems to me that since we as a race have the gold we should be ruling. I am so very happy to see the numbers of our people who are beginning to network with and patronize one another in greater numbers than ever before. I'm so happy that our value and worth are now being recognized and our historical accomplishments are no longer being hidden from our youth. But I am very curious and concerned about one thing. What is going to happen when our hard earned dollars are circulating in our own communities several times? What will happen as more and more sisters revert back to natural hair styles and patronizing black only nail techs in order to break the back of the Asian Connection that is not only taking over the hair care industry but is making inferior copies of black produced products while systematically nudging us out of the market? What is going to happen when there are lines outside of black owned grocery stores, liquor stores and gas stations while those that are owned and managed by other ethnicities become virtually empty? What is going to happen when our children are able to find summer jobs and internships within our own communities? What will happen as a result of us using our wealth for our own sustenance, empowerment, and glory?Personally, I don't think the rest of the world will stand idly by and let that happen. I suspect that at the very least we will all have a bunch of new found friends whose main concern will be to win our business away from our own family (I love that term as opposed to the n-word and it is soooooo fitting - my brothers and sisters). As that time approaches and as we deliberate regarding how to handle the opposition that is sure to come, let us remember that people of many nationalities would not hire one of us for any reason; and many of those who did required us to work for minimum wage money under the table, doing work that is beneath them so we would not be entitled to any working benefits or unemployment. Let us remember that many of them treated us like second or third class citizens while we were patronizing their establishments. Many of them intentionally cheat us and our children then get an attitude when we bring their -ah hem- error to their attention. I'm so glad that growing numbers of us are finally working in concert toward leveling the playing field. But remember, just because we deserve to benefit from the power of our own buying power doesn't mean they will sit by idly and let us.BTW: They in this blog specifically refers to people who are either not ethnically recognized as being Black or African American or supporters of the equal rights and entitlements of Blacks/African Americans.

Many people dream of success, (whatever your idea of success is), wealth and riches, but most people do not mentally prepare for any of this. To achieve anything you must first have the right mindset and resolve that with your spirit. To be successful and/or wealthy, you must learn how to not limit your results with your mind. You must learn to think, act and live as successful or wealthy people.So again I ask, is your mind ready to prosper?Read more…
