I mostly want to share this car.
I'm always ready to tell stories about it,
to explain its background when I open the hood
or when people come up to me.
It's always a good idea to tell
what you have gone through at each step of the restoration,
so you can share it with other people
and make them feel what you have felt.
My name is Romain, and I drive a 1976 Toyota Corolla KE35SR.
I grew up in the back of a Renault 5 and a Mercedes 190.
Every summer, we would visit my family in Portugal,
and on the highway, I would play a game with my father and my kid brother.
The goal was to guess the make of cars and trucks.
Once we got there, my father would win, because it was full of old cars
that my brother and I didn't know.
That's where it all started.
I became interested in those cars.
I am curious, and not knowing what make they were intrigued me.
We had the chance
to welcome home a Toyota Hilux from the '90s.
It was an old sanitation car
that we turned into a civilian car for my grandfather
so that he could use it as an everyday car in Portugal.
He still uses it now, and it was his only car for a long time.
Whenever I go now, I see his 4x4
and the neighbor's car that I've always seen.
It is an old Datsun station wagon.
Every summer, it was packed from top to bottom
with onions, potatoes,
and you even had dirt on the seats.
When I go back, I find it hasn't aged.
Of course, it has a few defects, but it is over 40 years old and has seen a lot.
Its sturdiness always struck me.
I found it so interesting.
I came to realize that these cars
had a story and a soul.
The first Japanese model that we got was a Mazda MX-5.
It was brand-new,
and now I think it has almost 100,000 miles.
At the same time,
I was an art student,
so I already had a clear idea of what I wanted
and what projects I had,
which helped me pick my future first car.
Above all, I wanted my car to look like no other, to have a soul
and something extra, something special.
I really wanted to create something for me and for my children too,
like a heritage.
Just like my father's talent for mechanics, for everything he taught me
and will continue to pass on to me.
I am very grateful to him for that.
I had come across a Toyota Coupé in Portugal back then
that I really liked,
and I think it was less than a year later
that I found an ad on the Internet
for the exact same car in red and white
with optional chrome-plated rods.
It reminded me of Starsky & Hutch, so I fell for it.
I really liked it, so that's the one I chose.
Blindly.
Because after buying it, I realized it was far from beautiful.
It had been damaged and quickly covered with paint
and also tampered with here and there,
but it still had this charming element that I liked,
and it couldn't be any other car.
But we had to restore it.
Even with all these faults,
I couldn't stop finding it more and more beautiful,
whatever the angle.
It truly was.
We spent a lot of time on it,
taking it apart, changing parts and redoing it.
It turned out
that we wouldn't give up
even if we had a tremendous amount of work.
It mostly was a family adventure between a father and a son
and the rest of the family
who had to put up with a dismantled car for over two years,
but all ended well.
And my father, who is over 50,
keeps on saying, "When I'm older, I want a Porsche 911."
I hope that, one day, I can help him live that dream.

Les Brown || Ways to Boost Self-Motivation (Motivational Video) - Duration: 14:03.
Les Brown ==> How do you motivate yourself one of the
things that we must do is that we must
be involved in working on achieving self
mastery you must work on yourself
continuously never be satisfied with
yourself always know that as you invest
the effort and time on you that's the
greatest ability that human beings have
above animals the adult can't be
anything but a dog tree can't be
anything but a tree human being you've
got unlimited potential
you can put effort on you and by
concentrating on you and developing you
you can transform your life wherever you
are right now so you want to work on
yourself you want to read books that
inspire you and motivate you you want to
listen to tapes over and over and over
again and I suggest that you listen to
tapes when you first get up in the
morning you want to control the spirit
of your day when you first wake up in
the morning your mind is operating at
10.5 wave cycles per second that's when
the subconscious mind is most
impressionable whatever you hear in the
first 20 minutes when you wake up that
will affect the spirit of your day when
you listen to tapes listen with relaxed
belief believing that this can happen
for you
and by listening to them listen to them
over and over and over again and you
will get a breakthrough and as you
continue to work on yourself you will
begin to expand your vision of yourself
you'll begin to work towards self
mastery and you will begin to see it
reflect itself in all the dimensions of
your life you'll mental life your
physical life your social life in your
relationships your monetary life so
concentrate on developing yourself
because if you don't I guarantee you
that you will make a settlement and most
people have in addition to working on
yourself and as you work on yourself you
feel good about yourself and as you feel
better about yourself you treat yourself
differently develop a health plan so you
can't feel well and do well if you don't
have good health you can't perform if
you don't have your health your health
is value
develop a health plan a plan that you
will follow because this is the only
vehicle that you have to carry you
through this experience called life and
you want to take good care of it because
you love you enough you care enough
about you and that's not easy it is not
easy having a health plan and sticking
to it but you're worth it doing it again
and again and again I have lost 22
pounds several times
next thing is as you take care of
yourself the next key is keys to
motivation to self motivation you want
to live life with energy and passion you
want to make a conscious effort to be
Lively see in life you either saying
hello or goodbye you either on the way
or in the way leave that people alone
some folks just walking around looking
saying are you doing honey stay away
from these people just go away from them
it affects you
you want to smile you want to be happy
you got a lot to be thankful for but you
watch some of the faces around you every
day and I tell you some of these faces
they will put you in a depressed state
of mind so you want to avoid these kind
of faces when you see them coming turn
your head next thing is that you want to
monitor your inner conversations the
things that you say to yourself you want
to watch them and in watching them you
want to take charge you don't really
need to read anything forget all that
that's that inner conversation oh you
don't need to worry about trying to go
into your own business forget that you
can't do that what did you lose
everything you've got that in a
conversation that stopped you from doing
the things you want to do less don't do
that the next thing that is the key to
self motivation is that you've got to
ask yourself what do I want out of life
what do you want out of life what do you
want out of a job what do you want out
of career what do you want out of a
relationship what do you want what gives
you your life what how will you know
when you've got it what will make you
happy you need to know you need to s out
asking yourself some questions what do I
really really truly want you need to be
exact about that don't be vague oh I
just want to be happy that's too vague
what will make you happy how will you
know when you got it zero in on it be
exact be specific and as you do that
that will stimulate that super conscious
mind all the reticular activating system
of your mind that will begin to find
those things to identify with it and
once you begin to determine that which
you want take the time to write it down
don't
think about it write it down that is the
subjective process that engages the
subconscious mind write it down once you
write it down read it three times a day
morning noon and night why is that
important because what it will do it
will cost you to focus it will cause you
to concentrate when that other
conversation is going on telling you
what you cannot do telling you all of
the impossibilities and all of the
obstacles you're concentrating will
begin to create a larger vision within
yourself and you started looking for and
seeing some new opportunities you start
creating some openings for yourself as
you begin to read that every day every
day day in and day out that will make
you focus that will discipline your
thinking and you'll get all kind of
creative ideas as I talk to you right
now being involved in this emotion
process you're going to create some
openings for yourself you're going to
get some ideas you're going to feel your
adrenaline flowing and you're going to
think about something some idea you have
you say I want to go back and I'm going
to look at that again from a different
vantage point not from the level of the
problem of the obstacles that I
encountered but from a higher vantage
point because what you will begin to see
and to know as I have talked to the
higher consciousness within you that you
are powerful that you are a miracle
worker and that inner conversation has
conditioned you to believe that you're
not and as you begin to discover the
truth of who you are whatever challenge
that you're facing in life and if you're
living you're facing some challenge you
begin to know that you are powerful and
that your America maker so as you begin
to write down exactly what it is that
you want read it every day
the next thing is see yourself there how
will you feel once you get there what
will the experience be like for you what
will be different what kind of person do
you have to become in order to get there
visualize yourself there living the
experience you want to see yourself
beyond your circumstances you got a
challenge see you
beyond your challenge see yourself with
a challenge already resolved and knowing
that all is well seeing yourself in
control and in charge of your destiny
being healthy and happy the next thing
is it is important in the area of
motivating yourself it's important to
know why you're doing it because that
mind will say why bother why go through
all this this is too hard no throw in
the towel it's not worth it has it ever
said that to you before here's how you
can handle that here's how you override
that write down five reasons why you
deserve it why do you deserve what you
want why you why do you deserve it what
meaning and value will it bring to your
life what's so different about you that
you deserve your goal or this goal and
when you write down those five reasons
when you have some down moments and
you're going to have them when that
conversation starts talking to you and
it's going to talk to you what you will
do is you can pull that out and read it
and it will build you up it will be your
rod and your staff to comfort you
through some challenging moments because
you're going to have some life will
knock you between the eyes it will catch
you on the blindside come out of nowhere
step you can't anticipate that will
knock the wind out of you you want to
give up that's why it's important for
you to work on yourself listening to
tapes building yourself up talking to
yourself with power feeling and
conviction
building yourself up day in and day out
the next thing is that whatever you do
you want to develop technical mastery
you want to be the best at what you do
you want to master it see part of self
motivation is you've got to find
something that gives you a strong sense
of competence will you become known for
that you develop a reputation of being
good at doing that you set some hard
personal standards for yourself you're
not competing with anybody else
you're just unfolding yourself to be the
best person that you could be
that you want to give a best quality
service that you can give because that
is a statement about who you are the
other thing that's the key to self
motivation is recognize the fact that
you're going to get into some slumps
recognize the fact that you're going to
encounter a great deal of failure in
life it goes with the territory but in
the face of that you want to be
relentless when you want something you
can don't expect everybody to say oh
come on it women oh you want this oh
great we want to give this to you you're
such a nice person you're doing it for
your family aren't you brave now don't
like this and like it but you've got to
decide that I'm going to be fearless and
refused to be denied and I'm going to go
all out I'm going to be with littlest I
don't care how many nose I encounter the
next thing is that when you want
something out of life you've got to be
willing to go into action don't wait
around for things to be just right don't
wait for things to be perfect don't wait
for the ideal situation it will never be
ideal there will always feel reason well
as soon as the children grow up as soon
as I pay my bills well soon as I get my
divorce all kind of as soon as I get
enough money together do what you can
where you are with what you have and
never be satisfied a lot of people never
take a chance in life they don't want to
take any chances they want the situation
to be ideal see that's not walking by
faith that's walking by faith if I can
see it I'll do it no no no less a lot of
people think if I could see it I'll
believe it no no if you believe it you
can see it
and don't be disturbed because no one
else can see it that's not unusual that
is ordinary but because you want some
different kind of results in your life
you've got to be willing to be
unreasonable if you want unreasonable
results in your life you've got to be
willing to be unreasonable part of being
unreasonable you don't judge according
to appearances part of being
unreasonable you can see it because you
believe it that's part of being
unreasonable part of being unreasonable
you like Paulo said you must have the
faith to call forth those things that be
not as though they were as part of being
unreasonable most people won't do that
what are the keys to self motivation
that empowers you is that you want to
find a cause larger than yourself find
something that you can contribute you
find something that you can make a
difference because you can part of what
seeds your larger vision part of what
gives you a reason for being part of
what gives you your life is being able
to give something back so I can't afford
to give anything you can't afford not to
give give your time give your talent
there's nothing just to go and lick
envelopes I don't know exactly what I'm
going to do but I'm going over there
it's part of my planning in the universe
once you develop that that special sense
of mission and that's what you develop
when you're part of a larger cause than
yourself
it drives you you don't need an alarm
clock to get up in the morning you have
special power you're go places and folk
will like to be around you they will
know there's something different about
you when you go in they say hey that's
somebody important I want to know who
you are I just want to be near you that
energy that you have that consciousness
that you will embody will affect
everybody around you

CoD 2 Spanish Civil War ► Act III - Mission 9: "The University City" - Duration: 20:17.
Madrid, November 15, 1936
The Madrid front has been established in the Casa de Campo. Even though rebel forces have managed to gain terrain, Asensio's column has fallen under siege.
It is foreseen that Barrón's and Delgado's columns will come to his aid. With the forces once again assembled, the Nationalist strategy must go through taking the University City.
"The university city"
Madrid November 16, 1936
Near the Manzanares River
Bravissimo! Our bombardments have devastated the area. But there's still a group of enemy Spaniards resisting. We have to take them out presto!
Here we are, sir. I've gladly gone through bursts of whistling bullets to get to you.
We were waiting for you with impatience. That area is vital for the Republicans and it will be heavily protected. Go carefully.
Start uncorking the champagne, sir. Your most coraggioso soldier will give you the victory.
We are leaving! Don't get left behind, Corporal!
They're inside!
Militiamen and workers of Madrid, lay down your weapons. Break free from your scummy leaders that have always lied to you and now abandon you. We know who the culprits are and only upon them will the weight of the law fall. Just one cry shall unite us - Viva España.
Attention, Madridians - Having Nationalist forces reached the gates of the heart of Madrid and having overtaken the south of the Manzanares, as resistance persists, all the population becomes a military target and battlefield.
Mission accomplished, sir. The Republican bullets have to be faster to catch me next time. But we've suffered many casualties.
Everything has a price. The University City will not hold for long.
"Know, Madridians, that bigger the obstacle, harder will your punishment be. The attached sketch shows how three quarters of the national territory are in our hands, it should open your eyes better than any long speech. Madridians! Your freedom day is very near. If you want to save your lives and avoid irreparable damage, surrender unconditionally to our generosity." - Francisco Franco

Restoring Hope to Our Heroes - Enjoying Everyday Life - Duration: 28:33.
ANNOUNCER: THE FOLLOWING PROGRAM IS PAID FOR
BY THE FRIENDS AND PARTNERS OF JOYCE MEYER MINISTRIES.
[MUSIC]
JOYCE: HONOR, DUTY, AND SERVICE ALL DESCRIBE THE MEN
AND WOMEN IN OUR MILITARY.
IT TAKES A VERY SPECIAL PERSON TO SERVE OUR COUNTRY.
SOMETIMES THESE BRAVE SOLDIERS MAKE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE,
OTHERS MAY FACE A LIFE FOREVER CHANGED BY THEIR INJURIES.
THESE WOUNDED HEROES DESERVE TO BE RETURNED TO WHOLENESS
AND YOUR SACRIFICIAL GIVING IS MAKING IT POSSIBLE.
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
BRANDON: WE GOT HIT BY A ROADSIDE BOMB, AN IED.
IT GOES THROUGH ARMORED KITS LIKE A HOT KNIFE THROUGH BUTTER.
MICHAEL: I WAS INJURED DOING A ROCKET ATTACK.
THEY WERE JUST LOBBING EXPLOSIVES AT US AS BEST THEY
COULD.
SHANE: THERE WAS 1500 POUNDS OF HE.
IT WAS ONE OF THE BIGGEST IEDS THEY HAD ON THE RECORD BOOKS AT
IRAQ AND IT WAS MEANT FOR A TANK,
AND WE'RE IN A HUMVEE SO IT WAS JUST LIKE A BIG MUSHROOM.
IT JUST BOOM.
IT JUST EXPLODED AND IT JUST THREW OUR HUMVEE.
PAUL: I WAS BROWN UP WITH A DAISY CHAIN IED WHICH IS THEY
CONNECT THE IEDS AND THEY GO OFF AT THE SAME TIME.
BRANDON: I HAD LARGE HOLES IN MY LEFT LEG.
IT LOOKED LIKE SOMEONE HAD TAKEN A SHOTGUN AT CLOSE RANGE
AND FIRED.
MICHAEL: I CAME DOWN FROM MY BUNK BED, LANDED ON MY HEAD
AND SHOULDER AND WAS BASICALLY FOLDED IN HALF.
SHANE: I BROKE MY C2 IN MY NECK,
MY L2 VERTEBRAE BURST SO I HAVE NO L2 VERTEBRAE.
I'VE GOT 2 RODS, 6 SCREWS IN MY BACK, HAD OVER 150 BREAKS AND
FRACTURES IN MY HIP AND PELVIS AREA SO I'VE GOT 2 SCREWS
HOLDING MY PELVIS TOGETHER.
PAUL: DIFFERENT INJURIES TO MY SPINE AND MY SHOULDERS,
TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY.
WAS KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS.
BRANDON: SPINE WAS BROKEN IN THREE PLACES.
I DAMAGED MY RIGHT KNEE.
AND A PIECE OF SHRAPNEL HAD GONE THROUGH MY WRIST AND BLOWN
THROUGH MY PALM TAKING WITH IT BONE TENDON AND CLIPPING
AN ARTERY.
SO, WHAT I THOUGHT WAS THE LEAST OF MY WORRIES WAS ACTUALLY
ONE OF MY WORST INJURIES.
I WAS LAYING IN THAT HUMVEE BLEEDING OUT, I WAS DYING.
PAUL: ON MY SECOND DEPLOYMENT, WE HAD THREE MEMBERS
OF OUR PLATOON THAT WERE KILLED.
I DIDN'T REALLY ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES AT ALL.
I WAS MORE OF A, YOU KNOW, I'M JUST GONNA, I CAN DEAL WITH IT
MYSELF.
MALE: HAD A SUICIDE ATTEMPT THIS TIME LAST YEAR.
DAVE: I REMEMBER THAT DAY YOU CAME IN.
MALE: AND THIS IS THE SECOND ONE.
I OWE YOU GUYS A LOT.
DAVE: NO, YOU DON'T OWE US, I TELL YOU THAT.
WE OWE YOU.
A GREAT AMERICAN HERO.
ANNOUNCER: THE SACRIFICE THAT OUR SOLDIERS MAKE TO PROTECT OUR
FREEDOM IS SO VALUABLE TO ALL OF US, SO WHAT CAN WE DO TO
GIVE BACK?
JOYCE MEYER MINISTRIES FRIENDS AND PARTNERS ARE HELPING RESTORE
THESE HEROES AND THEIR FAMILIES.
YOU ARE WORKING WITH OPERATION WARRIOR RECONNECT
SO THAT THESE VETERANS CAN SUCCESSFULLY
REINTEGRATE INTO THE LIVES THEY LEFT BEHIND.
AND IF ANYONE UNDERSTANDS THOSE CHALLENGES, IT'S THE FOUNDER OF
THE PROGRAM.
HE SPENT A LIFETIME RECOVERING FROM HORRENDOUS INJURIES HE
RECEIVED WHILE SERVING IN VIETNAM.
DAVE: I WAS A BROWN WATER BLACK BERET, VERY PROUD OF
MY HERITAGE AND ON JULY 26, 1969,
THAT HERITAGE WOULD TAKE A SHOT IN THE DARK.
THAT DAY WHEN THAT HAND GRENADE EXPLODED, A SNIPER HAD TAKEN HIS
BEST SHOT APPARENTLY SHOOTING AT MY HEAD, MISSED AND HIT MY HAND
AND IT WAS RIGHT HERE.
WHEN THAT BULLET PENETRATED RIGHT BETWEEN THE THUMB AND
INDEX FINGER, IT DETONATED THE GRENADE AND 5,000 DEGREES
WHITE HOT FOSTERS COVERED NEARLY HALF MY BODY.
I CAN ONLY TELL YOU THE SMELL OF MY FLESH MIXED WITH WHITE
FOSTERS, THE SOUND OF A LOUD SCREAM IN MY RIGHT EAR, WHICH
WAS NO LONGER ATTACHED TO MY HEAD.
MY FACE WAS GONE, MY HAIR WAS GONE.
I LOOKED DOWN, MY CHEST WAS GONE.
I COULD SEE INSIDE OF ME.
I LOOKED A LITTLE FURTHER DOWN AT MY FACE, WHAT WAS LEFT OF IT
WAS CURLING INTO ASHES AND BLOWING ACROSS MY BOOTS.
I WENT BLIND IN MY EYE, DEAF IN MY EAR.
ANNOUNCER: AFTER A GRUELING 14-MONTH RECOVERY, DAVE ROEVER
FOUND HIS CALLING, MINISTERING TO THOUSANDS OF VETERANS WHO
WERE STRUGGLING TO FIND THEIR WAY HOME.
EAGLE SUMMIT RANCH IS A PEACEFUL OASIS TUCKED AWAY IN
TEXAS HILL COUNTRY, NOT FAR FROM SAN ANTONIO.
IT'S A PLACE OF RESTORATION, ENCOURAGEMENT, AND EMOTIONAL
RECOVERY BASED ON ONE-ON-ONE MENTORSHIP.
DAVE: THEY COME HOME SO TOTALLY DISCONNECTED THAT THEY
DON'T HAVE THE FRIENDSHIP, THE CAMARADERIE, THE UNIT EFFECT
THEY HAD IN WAR AND THEY'RE HOME 3 DAYS AND SAYING,
"I GOTTA GO BACK.
I GOTTA GO BACK."
AND THE BOND YOU ONCE KNEW IS NOT THERE ANYMORE,
YOU FALL APART.
WHEN THE 80 PERCENTILE DIVORCE RATE IS COMMONPLACE, THAT'S
UNACCEPTABLE.
THAT'S THE HEMORRHAGING WE'VE GOT TO STOP.
SUICIDES, ONE A DAY, ONE A DAY AMONG OUR ACTIVE DUTY,
THAT'S GOTTA STOP.
OPERATION WARRIOR RECONNECT IS HERE BECAUSE WE BELIEVE OUR
WARRIORS NEED TO COME HOME TO A HEALTHY RETURN, TO POSSIBILITIES
FOR OPPORTUNITY TO WORK, TO HAVE A NEW LIFE.
WE'RE GONNA BE THEIR HOPE, SOMEONE TO HOLD ON TO.
AND WE HAVE 3,000 PLUS THAT HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS PROGRAM
AND WE'RE JUST GETTING STARTED.
ANNOUNCER: AN IMPORTANT PART OF THIS JOURNEY TAKES PLACE IN
THIS BEAUTIFUL 3,000 SQUARE FOOT GYM BUILT BY THE FRIENDS
AND PARTNERS OF JOYCE MEYER MINISTRIES
AND ITS MISSION OUTREACH, HAND OF HOPE.
BRANDON: WHEN PEOPLE SEE THIS GYM, IT'S NOT A CHALLENGE OF
HEY, HOW CAN YOU HURT YOURSELF?
YOU KNOW, HOW CAN YOU JUST BE EVERYTHING YOU CAN BE AND PUSH
ALL THE LIMITS AND POSSIBLY HURT YOURSELF?
BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY DO WHEN THEY FIRST SEE A GYM AFTER THEY
GET HURT.
THEY SEE IT AS WHAT THEY'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO DO AGAIN
AND EVERYTHING THAT THEY JUST ABSOLUTELY LOATHED AND HATE.
IT REPRESENTS SOMETHING THAT USED TO BE THERE THAT ISN'T
THERE ANYMORE BUT WHEN THEY COME HERE, WE MAKE SURE THAT THEY
UNDERSTAND, LOOK, THIS IS A CHALLENGE OF WHAT YOU CAN DO NOW
AND HOW FAR YOU CAN GO IN A SAFE SECURE MANNER WITH PEOPLE THAT
UNDERSTAND DISABILITIES AND ARE ABLE TO HELP YOU FIND A WORKOUT
REGIMENT OR ADD ON TO THE ONE YOU ALREADY ARE DOING.
AND BECAUSE WE'VE GOT SUCH A WIDE VARIETY OF EQUIPMENT
AND SPACE BECAUSE OF HOW LARGE THE FACILITY IS, WE CAN DO IT IN
A SAFE ENVIRONMENT AND THEY CAN MEET THAT CHALLENGE.
ANNOUNCER: AS A PARTNER, YOU PROVIDED THIS GYM
AND THE CHRIS KYLE FOUNDATION DONATED THE EQUIPMENT
MAKING IT POSSIBLE FOR THESE SOLDIERS TO HAVE
A HEALTHY WORKOUT NO MATTER THEIR DISABILITIES.
BRANDON: WITH THE PARTNERSHIP OF JOYCE MEYER MINISTRIES
AND THE CHRIS KYLE FOUNDATION, IT PRODUCED SOMETHING
UTTERLY AMAZING.
ANNOUNCER: BRANDON BYERS ATTENDED OPERATION WARRIOR
RECONNECT BACK IN 2010 AND IS NOW A SPEAKER WITH THE PROGRAM.
AT THE TIME, HE WAS STRUGGLING WITH DEEP DEPRESSION.
HE FELT HE'D LOST EVERYTHING DUE TO THE INJURIES THAT RESULTED IN
HIS LEFT LEG BEING AMPUTATED ABOVE THE KNEE.
BRANDON: I DON'T HAVE A LEG ANYMORE, BUT I COME IN HERE
AND I GET ON THE TREADMILL.
I GET ON THE WEIGHTS.
I DO WHAT I CAN IN A SAFE MANNER AND TO THE POINT WHERE IT'S NOT
GONNA HURT ME.
BUT ALSO IT CHALLENGES THEM TO GO, AGAIN, "IF HE CAN DO IT,
I CAN DO IT," AND THAT'S WHAT I LOVE, ESPECIALLY WITH THIS
FACILITY AND THIS GYM 'CAUSE IT REPRESENTS A WHOLE 'NOTHER
AVENUE OF HOPE.
IT REPRESENTS A PHYSICAL HOPE THAT THEY REALLY DID NOT THINK
WAS THERE ANYMORE OR THAT THEY WERE GONNA BE ABLE TO OBTAIN.
ANNOUNCER: WOULD YOU PRAYERFULLY CONSIDER JOINING
WITH US BY GIVING A SPECIAL GIFT TO MISSIONS?
YOUR GENEROSITY GOES A LONG WAY TOWARD CHANGING LIVES FROM
VETERANS PROGRAMS LIKE THIS ONE TO FEEDING CHILDREN,
PROVIDING DESPERATELY NEEDED MEDICAL CARE, DISASTER RELIEF,
AND SO MUCH MORE.
YOU CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE SO CALL THE NUMBER ON YOUR SCREEN
OR VISIT OUR WEBSITE TODAY.
MICHAEL: OUR PHYSICAL PROWESS IN THE MILITARY, OUR PHYSICAL
CAPABILITY IS A VERY LARGE PART OF WHO WE ARE.
I MEAN, YOU'RE TRAINED TO BE JUST HE-MAN OR SHE-RA, YOU KNOW,
AND YOU, WHEN THAT'S TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU, WHETHER THROUGH
INJURY OR ACCIDENT, IT'S VERY DEMORALIZING.
AND WHEN THE MEN AND WOMEN THAT COME TO THE RANCH WALK THROUGH
THE DOOR, YOU KNOW, THEY WALK THROUGH A LOT OF TIMES WITH,
"I CAN'T, I CAN'T DO THAT.
I'M NOT CAPABLE OF DOING THAT ANYMORE."
AND WE START WITH, "DON'T SAY I CAN'T BECAUSE IF YOU CAN'T,
YOU WON'T."
THE PEOPLE WHO MAN THIS PLACE, LIKE MATT ROEVER, DAVE'S SON,
ARE EXTRAORDINARILY WELL VERSED IN BEING ABLE TO SHOW SOMEBODY
LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, ME WHO I HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME WALKING,
AND BENDING OVER, AND DOING, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT I
USED TO DO, THEY'RE ABLE TO SHOW ME HOW I CAN OVERCOME THOSE
CHALLENGES.
MATT: SOMEBODY OUT THERE THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE SMARTER
THAN US SAID, "WELL, IF YOU TALK ABOUT IT, THAT MEANS
YOU'RE WEAK."
WELL, THAT'S NOT TRUE.
THAT'S NOT TRUE AT ALL.
MATT: I GREW UP WITH A DAD WHO DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT
POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS WAS AND SO HE CAME THROUGH A LOT OF THINGS
AND WE DIDN'T REALLY REALIZE WHAT WAS GOING ON UNTIL
LATER ON.
HE DEALT WITH HIS STRESS BY USING SPEECH TO BE ABLE TO HELP.
SO, HE WAS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY SPEAKING AND AS HE SPOKE, HE
WAS ABLE TO VENT THINGS OUT, TO BE ABLE TO TALK THROUGH THINGS.
AND AS HE WAS LEARNED TO HELP OTHERS, HE LEARNED TO BE ABLE
TO HELP HIMSELF.
NOW, OUR PROGRAM'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
WE USE BODY, SOUL, AND SPIRIT, AND WE WORK THOSE TO BE ABLE TO
HELP OUR SOLDIERS TO BE ABLE TO FIND OUT WHO THEY ARE
ONCE AGAIN.
THEY COME IN WITH TRAGEDY AND THEN THEY HEAR THE STORY AND
THEY LEAVE TRIUMPHANT AND THAT'S RETURNING THE MAN INTO THE MAN.
AND THESE GUYS HEAR THIS STORY AND THEY'RE LIKE, "WHAT WAS IT
THAT PUT IT TOGETHER?" AND THEN MAYBE OFF TO THE SIDE
SOMETIMES THEY'LL ASK THE QUESTION, "WELL, WHAT WAS YOUR
FAITH THAT HELD YOU TOGETHER?" AND POP WILL START TALKING
AND WHEN HE STARTS TALKING, HE STARTS TALKING ABOUT CHRIST.
AND THE GUYS ARE JUST SETTING THERE ON THE EDGE OF THEIR SEAT
AND THEY WANT TO KNOW MORE.
AND IT'S NOT UNCOMMON, IT'S NOT UNCOMMON AFTER THIS SESSION IS
OVER THEY'RE LIKE, "MR. ROEVER, CAN WE TALK
A LITTLE BIT?" AND DAD'S LIKE,
"YEAH, WE CAN TALK."
AND SO, THEY'LL GO BACK INTO AN OFFICE AND DAD WILL LEAD THEM
TO THE LORD.
AND IN THE CENTER OF THIS GYM IS A 20 BY 20 MAT THAT THE GUYS CAN
GET ON THERE, IT CREATES THAT KIND OF BROTHERHOOD LIKE
NONE OTHER.
AND SO, THEY FEEL SAFE AGAIN.
WITH PTSD, THE MIND AND THE HANDS HAVE A REALLY DISTINCT
CONNECTION AND WHEN YOU ARE BEING ABLE TO TOUCH FINGERTIPS,
IT IS MAKING THE MIND GO TO A DIFFERENT PLACE.
I LIKE TO CALL IT REPLACEMENT THERAPY.
THE GYM IS A GREAT WAY TO DO THIS AND SO WHEN A PERSON IS IN
THE GYM AND HE'S USING HIS HANDS A LOT, IT TAKES THE MIND TO
A DIFFERENT SPOT.
THESE GUYS ARE FINDING HOPE ON THE MAT.
AND SO, THIS IS WHY WE HAVE THE GYM AND WHEN THE GUY FEELS SAFE,
HE'S GONNA BE ABLE TO OPEN UP.
HE'LL START TALKING.
AND SO, NOW HE'S AIRING OUT WHAT HE WENT THROUGH.
HE'S TELLING HIS STORY AND HE'S BEING ABLE TO VENT.
SO, THE REPRESSED ANGER, INSTEAD OF BEING, YOU KNOW, TOWARDS
THE FAMILY MEMBER, OR TOWARDS A SPOUSE, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING OF
THIS NATURE, NOW HE'S SHARING IT AND IT'S COMING OUT.
PAUL: NOT ONLY IS IT LIKE, YOU KNOW, GOING TO THE GYM
AND GETTING BACK IN SHAPE.
IF I HAVE SOMETHING BOTHERING ME,
SOMETHING'S ON MY MIND, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WE'LL WALK ON
THE TREADMILLS AND TALK.
YOU KNOW, TO THE PEOPLE THAT THOUGHT OF THIS GYM THAT PUT THE
MONEY TO THIS GYM, IT'S HUGE.
I MEAN, WHERE ELSE CAN YOU GO THAT HAS A GYM LIKE THIS AND
STILL BE ABLE TO GET, YOU KNOW, TREATMENT FOR SOMETHING THAT YOU
HAVE GOING ON?
ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE, NOWHERE.
THIS IS A COMPLETELY ONE OF A KIND.
SHANE: MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY, IT'S SO BENEFICIAL
TO ME AND IT'S LIKE, OTHERWISE WHAT WOULD I DO?
YOU KNOW, SIT AT HOME AND JUST THOUGHTS WOULD JUST KEEP COMING
TO MY MIND AND IT'S LIKE, I DON'T LIKE THAT.
IT'S LIKE I DON'T WANT TO LIVE LIKE THAT, YOU KNOW?
DAVE: THESE GUYS COME HERE AND THEY PUSH THROUGH THAT
ENVELOPE OF RESTRICTION.
THEY PUSH THROUGH THAT ENVELOPE OF FEAR.
THEY PUSH THROUGH THE ENVELOPE OF PAIN AND DISCOVER THERE'S
A WORLD ON THE OTHER SIDE THEY THOUGHT THEY COULD NEVER REACH.
I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW PRICELESS IT IS TO HAVE THIS FACILITY
AND IT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN WITHOUT PARTNERS.
THE HAND OF HOPE IS NOT JUST A HOPE FOR ONE MOMENT,
FOR ONE BUILDING.
IT'S A HAND OF HOPE FOR THE YEARS TO COME.
BRANDON: THIS BUILDING, IT WASN'T A ONE-TIME GIFT.
YOU MADE AN INVESTMENT.
YOU MADE AN INVESTMENT IN SOLDIERS, YOU KNOW, THEIR
INJURIES AND THEIR FAMILIES, AND THIS GYM PROVIDES THEM
THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME BACK DIFFERENT AND TO BE THAT PERSON
THAT THEY NEED TO BE.
PLEASE, KEEP MAKING THAT INVESTMENT.
MATT: YOU GAVE A SOLDIER HOPE AND NOT ONLY THAT, BUT YOU GAVE
A FAMILY HOPE.
A LOT OF THEM RECEIVED THEIR DAD BACK.
A LOT OF THEM RECEIVED THEIR MOM BACK WITH A WHOLE NEW
VISION, A WHOLE NEW DREAM.
IT WAS BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU, AND ME, AND OTHERS THAT
CONTRIBUTED TO MAKE THIS THING HAPPEN.
THANK YOU.
YOU GAVE LIFE TO A PERSON WHO WAS LIFELESS.
AND WE GOT A PHONE CALL FROM THE WIFE AND SHE SAID THIS,
SHE SAID, "I SENT YOU A SORRY HUSBAND.
HE WAS SORRY.
BUT WHAT I GOT BACK, WHAT I GOT BACK WAS THE LOVE OF MY LIFE."
JOYCE: DAVE ROEVER IS DOING FANTASTIC WORK THROUGH
OPERATION WARRIOR RECONNECT, AND IT'S SUCH A BLESSING
THAT YOU AND I CAN BE A PART OF HONORING THOSE WHO
HAVE SERVED OUR COUNTRY.
ISN'T IT INSPIRING TO SEE GOD'S RESTORATION AT WORK?
YOU KNOW, I THINK THE WAY THAT OUR VETERANS HAVE BEEN TREATED,
OR THE LACK OF PROPER CARE THAT THEY'VE HAD WHEN THEY COME BACK
FROM WAR, IS REALLY PRETTY PATHETIC.
AND I BELIEVE THAT WE CAN STEP UP AS INDIVIDUAL CITIZENS
AND PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT HURTING PEOPLE.
WE CAN STEP UP AND WE CAN HELP THEM THROUGH OUR GIVING
TO MISSIONS.
YOU KNOW, WE HAVE LOTS OF OUTREACHES ALL OVER THE WORLD
AND YOU'LL BE PARTICIPATING IN ALL OF THOSE.
THIS ONE JUST REALLY TOUCHES MY HEART AND I'M SURE IT TOUCHES
YOUR HEART TOO.
AND SO, I'M ASKING YOU TODAY IF YOU'LL GIVE A VERY GENEROUS GIFT
TO HELP US GET PEOPLE OUT OF PAIN AND HELP THEM FIND THAT
THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE IN CHRIST.
NOW, STAY WITH US BECAUSE COMING UP NEXT, A POWERFUL OUTREACH TO
VETERANS CAUGHT IN AN ENDLESS CYCLE OF HOPELESSNESS.
GINGER: YOU KNOW, EVERYWHERE WE GO,
ALL OVER THE WORLD, WE CAN'T HELP BUT JUST
FALL IN LOVE WITH THE CHILDREN, LIKE 4-YEAR-OLD IMANATI HERE.
BUT HERE IN THE EASTERN CAPE OF SOUTH AFRICA,
MY HEART HAS ALSO BEEN REALLY PULLED TOWARD THE MOTHERS
AND THE GRANDMOTHERS.
THEY ARE WORKING HARD TO PROVIDE FOR THEIR CHILDREN
AND THEY NEED OUR HELP.
SO THESE CLASSROOMS OF HOPE THAT WE PROVIDE ARE HELPING
THE ENTIRE FAMILY, AND WE CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT YOU.
SO KNOW THAT YOUR SPECIAL GIFT TODAY WILL MAKE A HUGE
DIFFERENCE, NOT ONLY HERE, BUT OTHER AREAS, SUCH AS ASIA,
THE INNER CITIES IN THE UNITED STATES.
BUT WE NEED YOU TO HELP US.
PICK UP THE PHONE.
GO TO THE WEBSITE, JOYCEMEYER.ORG,
AND LET US KNOW THAT YOU ARE STANDING WITH US.
ANNOUNCER: FOR YOUR DONATION TODAY OF ANY AMOUNT,
WE'D LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU WITH THE BOOKS OF PSALMS
AND PROVERBS FROM THE NEW "BATTLEFIELD OF THE MIND
STUDY BIBLE."
CONTACT US RIGHT NOW...
OR GO TO JOYCEMEYER.ORG.
JOYCE: THOUSANDS OF VETERANS COME OUT OF THE MILITARY
COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED FROM SOCIETY AND THEIR FORMER LIVES
AND MANY OF THEM ARE FALLING THROUGH THE CRACKS, BUT
AN EXCITING NEW PROGRAM AT THE DREAM CENTER OF LOS ANGELES
IS RESTORING THEIR HOPE.
TAKE A LOOK AT HOW YOU ARE INVESTING IN THEIR FUTURE.
MALE: SKID ROW IS ONE OF THE WORST PLACES YOU COULD POSSIBLY
END UP.
PEOPLE DIE DOWN HERE EVERY DAY.
ANYTHING GOES.
ANNOUNCER: THERE ARE MORE THAN 8,000 HOMELESS VETERANS
LIVING ON THE STREETS OF LOS ANGELES.
IT'S A CRISIS THAT IS REACHING EPIDEMIC PROPORTIONS.
MATTHEW: ONE OF THE GOALS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO HERE AT
THE DREAM CENTER IS GIVE A PLACE TO LIVE, GIVE THEM A SAFE PLACE
TO DREAM, CREATE A PLACE OF RESOURCES WHERE THEY CAN COME
AND REALIZE WHAT'S AVAILABLE TO THEM.
MANY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IS AVAILABLE TO THEM.
ANNOUNCER: THIS 24-BED TRANSITIONAL LIVING FLOOR AT THE
DREAM CENTER IS GIVING VETERANS A FRESH START, OFFERING THEM
6 MONTHS TO A YEAR TO GET THE HELP THEY NEED TO SUCCESSFULLY
MAKE IT ON THEIR OWN.
THE FLOOR WAS COMPLETELY RENOVATED THROUGH FUNDING BY
THE FRIENDS AND PARTNERS OF JOYCE MEYER MINISTRIES
AND ITS MISSION OUTREACH, HAND OF HOPE.
ANTHONY: WHAT I WANT TO DO THIS MORNING IS TO GIVE YOU
A REDEFINITION OF WHAT PASSION MEANS.
ANTHONY: WE HAVE A PROGRAM SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR THE
UNIQUE NEEDS THAT VETERANS FACE AND THAT'S A GREAT THING BECAUSE
THEIR NEEDS ARE DIFFERENT.
THEIR NEEDS ARE FOCUSED ON GETTING THE BENEFITS THAT ARE
DUE TO THEM BECAUSE OF THEIR MILITARY SERVICE.
THIS REALLY IS A RESOURCE CENTER.
IT'S KIND OF THE HEARTBEAT OF HOW WE HELP THEM, CONNECTING
THEM TO OTHER SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS, AND WE GIVE THEM
THE TOOLS THAT THEY NEED AND THEN THE FREEDOM TO PUT
THOSE TOOLS INTO PRACTICE IN THEIR LIVES.
MATTHEW: I TELL YA ONE THING, I'M NEVER GONNA BE THE SAME
AGAIN WALKING THESE STREETS AT NIGHT.
ANNOUNCER: THE VISION FOR THIS PROGRAM CAME A FEW YEARS
AGO WHEN PASTOR MATTHEW DECIDED TO FIND OUT HOW IT FEELS TO BE
HOMELESS.
MATTHEW: MY FATHER AND I DECIDED TO LIVE ON THE STREETS
OF SKID ROW FOR 2 DAYS, NOTHING BUT PANHANDLING FOR
MONEY TO KNOW WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO BE HOMELESS.
MAN, I SAW THESE GUYS SLEEPING IN OPEN AIR AND THEY WERE JUST,
YOU CAN HEAR MUMBLING.
YOU CAN HEAR THEM SHAKING.
YOU CAN HEAR THE TRAUMATIC ASPECT OF THEM JUST IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT THEY'RE JUST--AND I'M SLEEPING NEXT TO
THESE GUYS AND THEY'RE, YOU KNOW, MANY OF THEM WERE JUST
KIND OF THEY WERE GOING THROUGH THE POST-TRAUMATIC SYNDROME AND
STUFF AND THEY WERE GOING THROUGH THE NIGHTMARES
AND THINGS.
I'M LIKE WOW, I'M TALKING TO THESE GUYS AND THEY'RE LIKE,
"YEAH, I SERVED MY COUNTRY FOR 20 YEARS."
I'M LIKE, "YOU DID?
YOU'RE DOWN HERE?" "YEAH."
AND I MEAN, IT'S JUST SHOCKING.
AND I SAY, "WHY?" THEY GO, "THERE'S JUST NOTHING
HERE FOR ME.
I CAME HOME AND I HAD A LOT OF STRESS IN MY LIFE, AND I DIDN'T
REALLY KNOW WHERE TO GO."
AND I'M LIKE, MAN, WE GOTTA DO SOMETHING FIRST CLASS ONE DAY,
SOMETHING WITH COUNSELORS, AND TOP-NOTCH PROGRAM, AND JUST
REALLY DEVELOP THE GREATNESS THAT'S WITHIN THEM 'CAUSE I
REALLY SAW JUST GREATNESS THAT WAS TRAPPED IN NOT KNOWING WHERE
TO GO, WHAT TO DO.
AND WHEN PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO OR WHAT TO DO, THEY GET
DESPERATE AND THEY REACH OUT FOR OTHER THINGS.
AND BUT MANY OF THESE GUYS, ONCE YOU JUST GIVE THEM AN OUTLET,
THAT'S WHEN THE CHANGE STARTS TO HAPPEN.
CURTIS: SO, I ENDED UP GOING TO KOREA.
WITHIN LESS THAN A WEEK, I WAS ON THE DMZ SO IT WAS ALWAYS
TENSION UP THERE.
AND THEY WERE POINTING WEAPONS AT US AND YOU KNEW THAT ANYTHING
COULD HAPPEN.
WE WERE THERE AND 2 DAYS LATER, WE SAW ONE OF OUR OWN
SOLDIERS FLOATING IN THE RIVER.
JOSE: I STARTED REALIZING IN THE NAVY IS THAT I HAD NEVER
DEALT WITH LIKE THINGS OF MY CHILDHOOD, LIKE SEEING MY
PARENTS BEING DRUG ABUSERS AND I WAS MOLESTED AS A CHILD.
SO, SOME OF THOSE THINGS IMPACTED ME IN MY ADULT LIFE
BECAUSE WHEN YOU GO THROUGH THINGS AND YOU DON'T DEAL WITH
THEM, THEIR ALWAYS LIKE THERE.
AND I ENDED UP DECIDING TO GET OUT 'CAUSE I WAS IN TURMOIL.
JOHNNIE: I COME TO L.A.
AFTER 3 YEARS OF HOMELESSNESS ON THE STREETS IN
SAN DIEGO, WOULDN'T NOTHING GO RIGHT FOR ME DOWN THERE.
COME HERE, AND I'M TRAVELING AROUND THE CITY FINDING SAFE
SPOTS TO SLEEP.
AND THEN I WENT TO AN ORGANIZATION HERE AND THEY SAID,
"WELL, WE DON'T HAVE ANY BEDS OPEN RIGHT NOW."
I'M LIKE, OH NO.
YOU KNOW, HERE WE GO AGAIN, YOU KNOW?
I'M GONNA BE STUCK ON THE STREETS.
OH GOD, PLEASE HELP ME.
AND AS I WAS WALKING OUT, THIS LADY SHE COME BACK AND SHE SAID,
"HOLD UP, WE GOT SOMETHING FOR YOU."
I SAID, "REALLY?" AND SHE SAID, "THERE'S THIS
PLACE CALLED THE DREAM CENTER AND IT'S NOT FAR FROM HERE."
AND I GOT HERE AND I WAS LIKE, THANK YOU, GOD, YOU KNOW?
MY HEART WAS FILLED WITH JOY AND I KNEW AT THAT MOMENT GOD HAS ME
RIGHT WHERE HE WANTS ME.
ANTHONY: THERE'S AN ATMOSPHERE HERE AT
THE DREAM CENTER THAT JUST LETS PEOPLE KNOW THAT WE BELIEVE,
WE BELIEVE YOU CAN DO IT.
WE'RE GONNA MEET YOU RIGHT WHERE YOU'RE AT.
WE'RE NOT GONNA JUDGE YOU.
WE'RE NOT GONNA CONDEMN YOU.
WE'RE NOT GONNA LOOK AT YOU DIFFERENTLY.
IN FACT, WE'RE GOING TO HELP YOU RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE TO BECOME A
BETTER PERSON THROUGH THE POWER OF CHRIST THROUGH HIS LOVE.
ANNOUNCER: ANTHONY WORLEY'S OWN DIFFICULT TRANSITION FROM
THE NAVY BACK TO CIVILIAN LIFE GIVES HIM INSIGHT TO REACH
THESE MEN.
ANTHONY: WHEN I WAS IN THE SERVICE, I LOVED THE FACT THAT
I WAS PART OF A BROTHERHOOD.
I WAS A PART OF A COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE WHO HAD YOUR BACK, PEOPLE
THAT WERE THERE TO SUPPORT YOU BUT THAT TRANSITION OUT
WAS ROUGH.
I CAME HOME AND I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE I REALLY FIT IN ANYWHERE
AND IT CAUSED A LOT OF ANXIETY.
I HAD TROUBLE FINDING MY DIRECTION AND I GOT BACK INTO
DRUG USE AND ALCOHOL.
AND FOR THE NEXT 12 YEARS, I WANDERED NOT REALLY
KNOWING WHERE I WANTED TO GO, WHAT I WAS GOING TO DO.
IT SURROUNDS VETERANS WHEN THEY COME HOME THAT THERE'S SOMETHING
WRONG WITH THEM BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN TO WAR.
THEY MIGHT HAVE TRAUMA, THEY MIGHT HAVE PTSD SO WE WANT TO
RAISE THAT COMMUNITY AWARENESS TO SAY THAT THESE MEN AREN'T
A DANGER.
THESE MEN AND WOMEN ARE SERVICE MEMBERS AND THEY DESERVE HONOR
AND THEY DESERVE HELP THROUGH HIS LOVE THAT JUST FLOWS THROUGH
EVERYBODY WHO WORKS HERE.
ANNOUNCER: YOU CAN HONOR THESE VETERANS AND OTHERS IN
NEED AROUND THE WORLD WITH YOUR GENEROUS DONATION.
WILL YOU PRAYERFULLY CONSIDER GIVING A SPECIAL GIFT AND
JOINING WITH US TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
CALL THE NUMBER ON YOUR SCREEN OR VISIT OUR WEBSITE TODAY.
CURTIS: I DIDN'T REALLY START TO HAVE THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL
UNTIL AFTER MY DIVORCE.
I HAD A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY AND I SAW THIS ABANDONED HOUSE AND I
STAYED IN THAT ABANDONED HOUSE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS.
AND THEN I DRANK MYSELF INTO A STOOPER JUST ABOUT EVERY NIGHT
'CAUSE I WASN'T USED TO BEING HOMELESS AND I DIDN'T WANT
TO FACE THAT.
I STARTED SMOKING CRYSTAL METH AND MY WHOLE LIFE JUST
UNRAVELED.
I ENDED UP SLEEPING AT A CHURCH AND I SAID, I CAN'T DO THIS
ANYMORE, I JUST CAN'T.
I MEAN, I KNOW THAT I'M BETTER THAN THIS.
ANNOUNCER: WHEN CURTIS FOUND HIS WAY TO THE DREAM CENTER,
HE ARRIVED ONE MONTH BEFORE THE VETERAN'S FLOOR OFFICIALLY
OPENED BUT GOD MADE A WAY FOR HIM.
CURTIS: AND I HAVE TO FIGHT BACK TEARS EVERY TIME I GET TO
THIS POINT BECAUSE OF, I SAW GOD IN ACTION AND I DON'T HAVE ANY
DOUBT THAT HE HAD HIS HAND IN THAT BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT I
HAD NOWHERE TO GO.
ANTHONY: THE WHOLE CAMPUS PROVIDES AN ATMOSPHERE OF HOPE,
AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE NEED.
PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THAT THEY CAN COME, THEY CAN FIND REST,
AND THEY CAN RELAX KNOWING THAT THEIR FUTURE IS IN JESUS' HANDS.
JOSE: THE FIRST THING HE TOLD ME WAS LIKE, "HEY, THIS IS
A CHRISTIAN-BASED PROGRAM."
I WAS LIKE, OH, I DON'T KNOW.
YOU KNOW, BUT THEN I WAS JUST LIKE, WHY NOT?
YOU KNOW, LIKE WHY NOT GIVE IT A SHOT?
LIKE, I'VE BEEN DOING THINGS ON MY OWN MY WAY, YOU KNOW, FOR SO
LONG AND IT'S NOT WORKING, SO WHY NOT TRY DOING THEM
GOD'S WAY?
CURTIS: YOUR LIFE CAN CHANGE BUT YOU HAVE TO BE OPEN MINDED
AND WILLING TO TAKE THE STEPS AND LET PEOPLE TAKE THE REINS
UNTIL YOU'RE ABLE TO.
THIS PROGRAM ALLOWS YOU TO DO THAT.
JOHNNIE: YOU COME HERE AND YOU SEE THE LIGHT AND THE LOVE
OF GOD WORKING THROUGH OTHERS AND YOU FEEL A PART OF A FAMILY,
A PART OF SOMETHING AS OPPOSED TO JUST A NUMBER AND THAT'S
A GREAT FEELING.
IT ESSENTIALLY HELPS YOU LEARN, LOVE YOURSELF AND THEN
LOVE OTHERS.
ANTHONY: WHEN THEY COME IN, THEY'RE SO BROKEN AND REALLY
JUST FOCUSED ON THEMSELVES AND WHAT THEY NEED, BUT NOW WE'RE
BEGINNING TO SEE THEM TURN THAT FOCUS OUTWARD TO REALLY HAVING
A DESIRE TO SERVE.
CURTIS: I'M STARTING TO GIVE WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT GETTING,
SO TO SPEAK.
SO, I INVOLVE MYSELF WITH COMMUNITY OUTREACHES.
JOSE: YOU KNOW, I LOVE THE FACT THAT I'M AROUND PEOPLE
WHO ARE LIKE TRYING TO DO BETTER THAN WHAT THEY WERE DOING
YESTERDAY AND THAT'S JUST, THAT'S OUR WHOLE MISSION.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS JUST TO BETTER OURSELVES
AND ALSO TO, YOU KNOW, TO HELP OTHERS AND THAT'S WHAT I LOVE
ABOUT BEING HERE.
JOHNNIE: I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO GET UP
ON MY FEET AND ACTUALLY HAVE THE CHANCE AND OPPORTUNITY TO PUT
FORTH MY BEST EFFORT IN MAKING THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE.
I AM GRATEFUL.
MATTHEW: 'CAUSE WHEN IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE, IT'S PEOPLE LIKE
JOYCE MEYER MINISTRIES THAT ALLOW THE REAL CHANGE TO HAPPEN.
CHANGE DOESN'T HAPPEN WITH JUST ALLOWING PEOPLE TO HAVE A PLACE
TO STAY OR A BED TO LIVE IN, BUT IT COMES THROUGH THE GOSPEL OF
JESUS CHRIST, TO BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS AND NOT HAVE
TO WAIT ON THE GOVERNMENT TO TELL US HOW TO DO IT.
AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING THIS DREAM TO
BECOME REALITY, SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN IN OUR HEART.
WE COULDN'T DO IT ALONE.
IT'S BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT MAKE IT HAPPEN.
JOSE: I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY THAT YOU'VE
GIVEN ME TO LIKE ACTUALLY IMPROVE MY LIFE.
THANK YOU FOR EVERY CONTRIBUTION THAT YOU DO.
IT'S ACTUALLY HELPING SOMEONE.
IT'S CHANGING LIVES AND I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR IT.
CURTIS: I WOULD SAY TO JOYCE MEYER AND HER PARTNERS
THAT, YOU KNOW, GOD BLESS YOU AND THANK YOU
FOR THE VISION THAT THEY HAD IN REACHING OUT TO VETERANS
LIKE MYSELF.
THERE'S NOT ENOUGH THAT I CAN SAY.
THERE'S NOT ENOUGH GRATITUDE I CAN GIVE THEM FOR THAT.
JOYCE: IT'S SO POWERFUL TO SEE THE TRANSFORMATION IN THESE
MEN'S LIVES.
YOU KNOW, THIS IS A GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT WE REALLY, REALLY,
REALLY NEED TO HELP.
I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE SOMEBODY GOING OFF TO WAR AND LOSING A
LIMB OR GOING THROUGH SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THEY GO THROUGH
MENTALLY AND EMOTIONALLY AND COMING BACK TO A NATION THAT
HASN'T PROVIDED PROPERLY FOR THESE MEN AND WOMEN.
AND I BELIEVE THAT WE NEED TO STEP UP AND HELP THEM AND WE'RE
TRYING TO DO THAT HERE AT JOYCE MEYER MINISTRIES.
AND AS YOU GIVE TO OUR MISSIONS OUTREACH, WHICH I'M ASKING YOU
TO DO TODAY, AND I DON'T EVEN WANT YOU TO DO SOMETHING
THAT'S REAL COMFORTABLE FOR YOU, I WANT YOU TO GIVE.
I WANT YOU TO ASK GOD WHAT HE WANTS YOU TO DO AND DO IT AND DO
IT IN FAITH, AND I BELIEVE THAT GOD WILL BRING A RICH HARVEST IN
YOUR LIFE BUT YOU'LL HAVE THE JOY OF KNOWING THAT YOU'RE
HELPING HURTING PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD.
SO, THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU.

Разведопрос: Клим Жуков о борьбе средневекового снаряда и средневековой брони - Duration: 1:04:54.
-------------------------------------------
Grasshopper-ARCHICAD Live Connection - Workflows: BIM Tower [6/6] - Duration: 6:22.
Start Rhinoceros
and display the New panel in the Rhino startup dialog.
Open an empty Rhino template.
Position Rhino on the left side of the screen.
Start Grasshopper by typing Grasshopper into the Rhino command line,
and position Grasshopper to the right side of the screen.
Open the BIMtower.gh file in Grasshopper.
The view settings of the Grasshopper file are set to "only draw preview geometry for selected objects",
so you can see only the selected elements in the Rhino preview.
If you wish to change that setting later, click on the green icon in the upper right corner among the other view setting options.
A spiraling BIM tower is our last example in this training.
A series of spiraling elements from both the facade and the structure of the tower.
Go to the "Components"view in Grasshopper
and drag a selection rectangle around the first 5 components as seen on the screen
in order to see the elements of the tower.
Let's have a look at the individual construction elements in Grasshopper - that are later converted to ARCHICAD elements.
The ARCHICAD type of the elements are shown in capital letters, in parentheses at the title of the dialogs.
Before the parentheses, the Grasshopper component name is shown.
Click on the Boundary Surfaces (SLABS) components in Grasshopper.
A series of surfaces follow the spiraling shape.
Each surface contains a hole for the concrete core of the tower.
These will be Slab elements in ARCHICAD.
Click on the Ruled Surface (RULED SHELLcore) component.
The core of the building is a ruled surface in Rhino that is fed to a Ruled Shell ARCHICAD Grasshopper component.
Click on the Pipe (COLUMNS) component
and proceed to clicking on the Pipe (BEAMS) component as well.
Columns and beams are defined for both the horizontal structural frame and the vertical structure.
Click on the Pipe (MULLIONS) components.
The facade is made up of Grasshopper pipes that become ARCHICAD mullions
and also a Morph element for the glass surface.
To see the surface, click on the Mesh (MORPH glass) components.
A model of similar size takes a bit of time to synchronize with ARCHICAD,
because ARCHICAD is creating parametric BIM elements, not just previews as Rhino does.
The construction elements should be synchronized one by one by switching on the Boolean toggles.
Switch each toggle from "false" to "true".
Start ARCHICAD and positionit at on the right side of the screen.
Open the BIMtower temp.pln file
and start the Grasshopper-ARCHICAD Live Connection as shown earlier.
Navigate to the ARCHICAD sync view in Grasshopper
and switch the Boolean toggles on by clicking on the right side of the toggles one by one to synchronize the tower with ARCHICAD.
Once we synchronize the model with ARCHICAD, we are able to generate plans, sections and elevations easily.
It also becomes intuitive and fast to query the model for schedules
that give us information on the BIM elements of the model.
Open the BIMtower.pln in ARCHICAD
from the "Rhino, Grasshopper and ARCHICAD example files folder.
This file has different schedules preset in it.
Click on the "floor areas" schedule from the Navigator Project Map.
The net and gross surface areas of the slabs can be listed as well as gross volumes of the slab with or without holes.
If we unlocked and deleted the current BIMtower in this file,
then reconnected the file to Grasshopper and decided to change the design at this point in Grasshopper,
then the schedules would be updated with the changed information instantaneously.
Click on the "contour beams" schedule from the Navigator Project Map.
The beams and columns can also be listed.
For columns, it makes sense to list them based on their slant angle as shown in this schedule view.
It is an option to schedule the columns ... based on slant angles.
In ARCHICAD, we can also create visual overrides to represent information in a graphical way.
Click on the "structural hierarchy" view from the Navigator View Map.
Structural Hierarchy can be visualized by coloring the main structural core red,
the slab supporting beam system blue,
and the mullions and transoms of the façade green.
Click on the "function categories" view from the View Map.
Functional Zones can also be visualized based on ARCHICAD properties of the spaces.
Click on the "floor plan area" view from the View Map.
This screen presents floor plan area measurements in a graphical format.

Trey Gowdy: Congress Will Subpoena Susan Rice to Testify If Necessary - Duration: 2:11.
susan Rice has refused to testify in front of Congress about the unmasking Trump aides
and officials.
Her excuse?
That the ranking member hadn't signed the invitation letter.
Republicans are asking Rice to testify after she asked for names linked to President Trump's
transition and campaign to be revealed.
But still, Rice refused.
Rice's attorney wrote a letter to the chairman and ranking member of the Senate Judiciary
Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism, Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI)stating:
"Senator Whitehouse has informed us by letter that he did not agree to Chairman Graham's
invitation to Ambassador Rice, a significant departure from the bipartisan invitations
extended to other witnesses.
Under these circumstances, Ambassador Rice respectfully declines Senator Graham's invitation
to testify," But Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) wasn't buying
Rice's excuses and has said he will issue a subpoena if needed.
"There are things called subpoenas.
You shouldn't have to use it with a former national security adviser, but if you do,
you do," Gowdy said.
"Members of Congress don't pick the witnesses.
Lawyers don't pick witnesses.
The facts pick the witnesses," Gowdy said.
"And whether Ambassador Rice likes it or not, she's a really important fact witness."
Even her own colleague Sen. Dianne Feinstein insists that Rice reconsider the invitation.
So what is Rice hiding?
She can talk about it in interviews on cable, so why does she not want to inform Congress?

Ask a Pharmacist App - Duration: 3:58.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Michael has a 9 to 5 job, making it difficult to call or visit his VA.
Besides, most of Michael's medication questions
are at the end of the day, when it's too late to call or visit
the pharmacy.
He's forced to search the internet,
but is overwhelmed by the amount of information
and worries it's unreliable.
Fortunately, he doesn't need to worry,
because he visited Ask A Pharmacist.
A VA app that provides trusted information about medications
at the push of a button, any time of day.
Michael opens the app and on the main menu he has instant access
to pharmacy services, pill and bottle information,
trusted medication resources, VA pharmacies,
and the ability to send secure messages.
Anyone can access the informational resources
about medications in the Ask A Pharmacist app.
However, some of the features require a My HealtheVet account.
Since he is a premium My HealtheVet account holder,
he can link to personal health information
and secure messaging services via this app.
When it's time for a refill, he clicks Prescription Refill
and Pharmacy Services.
Here he can learn about refilling and tracking
his VA prescriptions, access the medical library,
review medical articles, or send secure messages.
From the Refill and Pharmacy Services screen,
he taps the services he wants to access.
Most selections direct him to the My HealtheVet site
for more detailed information.
Michael takes two different pills that look very similar,
but need to be taken on different days.
So when he accidentally mixes them up,
he uses Ask A Pharmacist to sort it out.
From the main screen, he clicks Pill and Bottle Information.
He learns how to read a pill bottle information label
and identify pills by sight.
By selecting the Pill Identification screen,
he's linked to the National Library of Medicine site, where
he can enter descriptive information about the pill
needing to be identified.
Then he selects the Features tab,
allowing him to select one of the main features
from the home screen, without having to hit the Back button.
New medications mean new questions.
So Michael goes to the VA Trusted Medication Resources
screen, where he gains access to reliable VA
approved resources about different types of medication.
As well as information about administering and disposing
of them.
The Ask A Pharmacist app links him
to various VA trusted sites, where he quickly
finds reliable information.
When he clicks a link to a requested website,
the Ask A Pharmacist app verifies
that he is leaving the app.
He clicks Continue to go to the external site.
Occasionally, Michael has a specific question
about his medications.
So he skips the search and ops to send a secure message
to his pharmacist.
From the main menu he selects Send a Secure Message,
and the Ask A Pharmacist app links him
to the My HealtheVet site, where he
can learn about sending a secure message to his VA health care
team.
The Ask A Pharmacist app even helps Michael find his local VA
pharmacy.
All he needs to do is click VA Pharmacies,
then he finds a link for the VA Find Location Site.
With the Ask A Pharmacist app, Michael's questions
are answered anytime, anywhere.
And if he can't find it, he connects securely
with someone who can.
The answers are at his fingertips.
For more information, go to mobile.va.gov/app/ask

Eric Yen '17: "Step Outside of Your Comfort Zone" - Duration: 0:43.
There's not much I would change with my two years here at CBS, but
if I could go back and talk to the Eric from two years ago,
I would tell him to take some more risks, and step outside of his comfort zone.
The times at CBS when I've grown the most, when I've experienced the most,
has been when I've stepped outside of my comfort zone and
done something totally uncomfortable.
For example,
becoming a Peer Advisor, never thought that I would be a Peer Advisor,
standing in front of 80 students, making a fool of out of myself during orientation.
But during that week, I grew so much as a leader, and I grew so much as a person.
So continue to step outside of your comfort zone.

Pep Talk | Know Your Destination - Duration: 3:29.
what's up everybody its JFilt
from howtomakeverysickbeats.com and I'm
back with another ride-along pep talk I
just left the gas station and it
reminded me of a story that may be
of help or used to somebody inspiration
you know so anyway you got this truck
driver named Jack and he's on his way to
a small town but unfortunately he gets
lost he stopped at a gas station because
he had turned down the wrong road one of
those side roads he got lost whatever
pulls up at the gas station to get
directions now the guy he's getting the
directions from his name is Daniel and
no this is not jack
Jack Daniels is anyway yeah that's crazy
so anyway jack is asking Daniel for
directions and basically he's so so he's
wondering where he is Jack says to
Daniel I'm lost
can you help me so Daniel responds do
you know where you're going
Jack says yes I know the name of the
town I saw signs on the way the guy says
okay cool you're not lost
you just need directions that spoke to
me because a lot of us think we might be
lost but that's not case you just need
direction Jack knew his purpose his
purpose was to get to this specific town
and the problem that we face is some of
us don't really know what our purpose is
but we're just going through life
aimlessly you know I'm saying is he just
going through cycles nothing changes and
blah blah blah you know what im saying
got to know your destination man
if you want to get to where you're
trying to go you have to know your
destination I mean otherwise you're just
lollygagging right so find out what your
purpose is once you find out what your
purpose is then you can reach that
destination because now you are actually
headed somewhere and you get the
directions to that destination versus
just like I don't know what I'm doing it
okay for example some of you don't know
what your purpose is and I'm about to
help you right now to find out what your
purpose is what is the first thing you
think about when you wake up, what's the
last thing you think about when you go
to bed
what talent or gift you have that's very
easy for you to do it doesn't take a lot
of effort you're just naturally good at
it that's your purpose that's what
you're supposed to do for those of you
who have jobs and you know you work in a
day job or whatever and you got to make
ends meet I understand you got to do
what you got to do trust me trust me I
understand that but is that what makes
you happy is that your true destiny is
that what you're supposed to do is that
what you was born to do I don't think
it's too late I don't care if you're 30
40 50 60 maybe you in middle school 20 I
don't care find out what your purpose is
go towards that destination peace and
positive energy

3 Ways to Achieve Greatness - Duration: 4:16.
Hi! I'm Sharon Jurd and welcome to my Biz Blitz video
and today I want to talk to you about greatness and really achieving that level of greatness,
whatever that is for you. And it's really, really easy; in fact,
it doesn't take a lot of work but there are three things that help you along the way to your greatness.
Firstly, just be nice. Be a nice person, that's not so hard.
You just have to be mindful of other people and really be nice and care about them,
ask them how their day is, say hello, smile to people when you go and get your coffee in the morning.
The simple things around being a nice person are not that hard.
But what happens is sometimes we get busy in our day and not that we're not nice people
but we forget to be nice because you're busy, you're going to get coffee and you pay
and you ask and you might be on the phone, and you're busy and you're thinking about the email
you have to send and you actually forget to have a conversation with the person
that's serving you your coffee or at the fuel station or wherever you frequent.
So just remember in your day just to take those little moments of being nice.
Secondly, be grateful because you have a great life right now.
And yes you might want to achieve other things in your life but where you are right now, there's a lot to be grateful for.
And if you struggle with that a little bit, what I suggest you do at the end of the day or at the beginning
of the day or both, write down three things that you are grateful for,
just three things and it might be the sunshine, it might be the rain,
it may be the electricity you have in your home so you can boil a jug to make a cup of tea.
It doesn't have to be massive, massive things but if you start off with those little things,
you start to look around and take time to be grateful for the little things around you
where people try to think about the big things to be grateful for instead
of being grateful for just the little things in your every day life.
And thirdly, be giving. Give to people, don't hold on and be selfish of your knowledge, your time, your energy.
I'm always giving and some people say to me,
"Sharon, you give too much." Well, I don't think so and I don't believe so because
I know that the more I give, it will come back to me in ten-fold. And I'm not going to be selfish.
If I've learned something, if I've gone to a seminar and I've learned something
then I want to share it with the people who I hang around with.
And I don't learn things for me, yes it helps me,
but I learn things so I can share it with more people. So be giving.
People say to me, "With your videos, you give away a lot of information, a lot of strategies
and you have some free stuff on your website.
And there seems to be a lot of free stuff and I'm unsure whether
I should do that in my life and in my business," and I go, "Give away."
You always got more to give. And don't be scared of giving it because it will come back to you in ten-fold.
So there are my three things, they are:
Be nice, be a nice person and say hello, say good morning, smile to people.
Be grateful, write down at least three things that you're grateful for every day and thirdly, be giving.
If someone needs you, give to them and I know then that you will be on your way to greatness and that's how you will achieve greatness.
Thank you for listening, if you think this will be of value to your friends,
family and colleagues please share my video because I want to reach as many people as I can
and I hope that you can help me do that. Thank you for your time and I will talk to you soon.

La Tunisie fait de l'emploi une priorité nationale - Duration: 1:25.
The challenge Tunisia faces today
is to make the creation of small and medium-sized enterprises,
the development of the social and solidarity economy, a reality.
That's what the government is currently working on.
Tunisia is thus a global public good.
It is contributing to the region's stabilization,
helping to offer alternatives and hope to all the world's young people.
The international community has to realize this
and support Tunisia.
We call this a Marshall Plan for Tunisia.
The international community can play a major role
in the successful consolidation of democracy in Tunisia
and can help the Tunisian government,
help Tunisians move to the higher level
we are truly capable of:
become a country that is not a country of average growth but rather of robust growth
that offers genuine prospects to its young people
and comes to symbolize
what the Arab world can become today.

Wayne Dyer: Tame Your Ego ( Wayne Dyer Psychology ) - Duration: 16:55.
Your higher-self wants you to be at
peace their ego wants to keep you in a
state of turmoil in order to maintain
its mastery and control over your life
you've probably listened to your ego
most of your life the result of
listening to ego is that most of us
allow ego to talk us into choosing
dominance rather than tolerance as our
style of interacting with life making
the change from dominance to tolerance
requires disciplining ego and listening
to your sacred self I'm speaking from
personal experience in this matter and
it is one of the toughest assignments my
Higher Self has presented me with I have
spent many years being dominated by my
ego and I unwittingly made dominance and
judgment rather than tolerance a
cornerstone of my relating my
suggestions are all from my personal
experience of transcending my ego driven
instincts making the transition from
dominance to tolerance is especially
difficult because the desire for ego
satisfaction is so strong to move toward
the tolerance that your higher self
encourages and away from your ego driven
need to control and judge you will want
to examine the qualities that sustain a
tolerant approach to life to become more
tolerant and less controlled by your
false self start practicing being
satisfied with what is if someone you
love acts meekly towards you your ego
want that person to be more assertive if
that person is assertive your ego then
decides to dislike assertiveness if you
eat too much you start thinking about
how nice would be to be thinner if you
go on a diet and all of your thoughts
then will be about food if you stay at
home for a long period your ego starts
telling you how nice it is to travel go
on the road and you start thinking about
how nice it would be to stay home you're
in a relationship and begin to imagine
it would be nicer to be uninvolved
you're not in a relationship and you
start wanting to be in one your children
are running around the house and you
start thinking about escaping your
aren't at home and your ego starts
having you think about nothing but your
children if you identify with this kind
of inner dialogue rest assured that ego
has temporarily separated you from your
sacred self in its ongoing program to
convince you of your separateness it
needs to separate you from oneness with
the center of your being and it can keep
you in that state of trying to dominate
and control others as a way of trying to
achieve your inner balance
trouble is you cannot get there if you
are separated from the awareness of your
higher self as you begin listening to
your higher self and quiet and
contemplative moment you begin relaxing
and taking the pressure off you stop the
false thinking that everyone in your
life needs to be dominated or controlled
by you or that others must live up to
your expectations for you to be happy
people are the way they are and your
need to dominate or change them in any
way is the Edict of your false self your
ego is as usual trying to convince you
of your separateness
it also doesn't want you to catch on to
how it is controlling your life so it
convinces you that if you don't dominate
others they will get the best of you
your higher self has absolutely no need
to dominate anyone or anything this is
the ticket to freedom
right now though in this very moment
your ego is working to convince you that
the higher self and tolerance are
ridiculous ideas ego will argue that
tolerance means permitting criminal
behavior and health and social problems
its favorite example is that it would
mean permitting the Hitler's of the
world to commit atrocities while we
tolerantly look on your higher-self can
see beyond this logic so of course you
can too if you are willing when Mother
Teresa was asked if she would march
against the war in Vietnam she replied
no but if you have a March for peace
I'll be there when you become peaceful
within that is what you will have to
give away when you are dominated by your
ego you dominate others if there is no
inner harmony there is no outer harmony
ego needs the illusion of enemies in
order to control you when you are
controlling others it is because you
have permitted ego to be in control the
paradox here is that you will affect the
world in the ways that you wish when you
cease trying to improve conditions
within tolerance and judgment it is only
when you are not controlled by ego that
you can choose to not control others
what you believed was power when you
dominated others was actually the
external activity of ego controlling you
your impact on the world at large begins
with the smaller world of yourself you
will foster freedom and peace when you
are free of egos control and know the
peace of your higher self traveling the
path of the
request one of the first steps along
your path is learning tolerance by
practicing seeing the world as it is
rather than as you demand it to be these
then are some of the ways that the ego
attempts to rule our lives our goal and
knowing our sacred self is to have the
higher identities triumph over our lower
identities essentially your higher self
wants you to be at peace it wants you to
know truth it no longer needs you to
dominate others it is a very peaceful
loving place to be at this point I would
like to have you stop looking at how you
can get your own sacred self in order
and begin to look at how the world can
do this as well when we have a world of
people who are radiating outward the
kinds of things I've been talking about
throughout this tapes you'll begin to
see a whole new world order one that is
not dominated by a world ego and so my
conclusion here will not be an odyssey
into all the evils of our society I do
not intend to end estate cataloging all
the problems that we have created as a
result of allowing our egos to be the
dominant force in our world this is not
to say that I fail to recognize that we
have plenty of problems that have grown
out of our preoccupation with satisfying
our egos nor my blind to the fact that
our individual egos have interacted in
ways that a produced war crime
addictions poverty social inequities and
government tyrannies we have created a
world ego that reflects on the global
level the same lack of depth and
richness that exists in our individual
lives throughout this tape I have
presented reasons for taming the
personal ego and suggestions for how to
do that the very same can be said for
doing this on a global level I hope it
is as obvious to you as it is to me that
the collective ego will benefit when we
transcend our individual egos you as a
single individual have a sacred quest
that quest involves coming to your
higher spiritual nature and inviting it
to show you the way of the sacred self
in your daily life this means denying
the demands of your ego
if those demands contradict the guidance
of your higher self our world is a
collection of individuals urged
by the loving presence within all of us
to achieve the sacred quest personally
and collectively the world will become a
peaceful fulfilled cooperative loving
truthful tolerant and pure environment
as the individual parts that make up the
collective consciousness restrain their
egos as it's the microcosm so is the
macrocosm the whole behaves precisely as
does its individual parts many people I
speak to tell me that they feel
powerless to affect the global community
they believe that given the scope of the
world's problems their efforts are so
infinitesimal as to be insignificant
they simply are not seeing that it is
precisely through a change in individual
consciousness that the world will be
transformed all of the problems that we
face as a group reflect those we have
individually the world is encountering a
spiritual deficit that reflects our need
to consciously get on the path of our
sacred quest the solution to individual
and global problems is to overcome the
spiritual deficit when you make the
shift in consciousness allowing yourself
to be an agent of heightened awareness
you are contributing to the
transformation of our world you are not
separate from the other Souls on this
planet you share the identical energy
that embodies the souls of Rwanda and
Pakistan for example you are the lamp
and God is the electricity it flows
through you as surely as it flows
through all living things when you make
the decision to choose the guidance of
your higher self over your false self
you are plugged into the divine inner
energy when you run your life based on
the principles of the higher self you
are contributing to the transformation
of the entire world
you must strengthen your will to choose
the sacred path when your ego calls you
a fool for believing there could ever be
a world without war if your ego can
convince you you will become part of the
collective egos falseness individuals
who choose eco propaganda our
individuals who will build more bombs
and manufacture more weapons currently
there are some six billion people on the
planet about three million are at war or
in skirmishes that cause them to kill
and torture each other but that means
that there are five billion 997 million
who are not at war this is a hopeful
statistic which our egos do not want us
to consider
by contrast the collective ego strives
to keep the populace nervously on the
edge with reminders to view the world in
terms of us versus them this Eagle
viewpoint not only reinforces the insane
escalation of ways to kill each other
but is also responsible for most of our
social problems the world ego is our
false self and this is the primary
characteristic that we need to recognize
we want to believe that we are our
physical bodies and that the territories
we occupy are so important that we are
willing to kill each other in order to
maintain those boundary lines we have
become convinced that our true
identities are located in tribal
ancestors traditions histories
genealogies and the color and shape of
our bodies we have lost sight of our
authentic identities because of the
labels that our egos have assigned to us
our egos have coalesced into a worldwide
false perception of ourselves based on
an unwillingness to know our true
spiritual nature although all of our
spiritual leaders have reminded us of
our divinity and implored and even
commanded us to love one another the
world eagle has won this battle and
produced ancient enmities and
uncountable horrors in the long history
of humanity the spiritual solution to
the major problems that face the world
is to bring into positions of power
those who are not motivated and driven
by their egos but see the collective
good as their primary objective we need
leaders who do not manifest primitive
tendencies of consciousness such as hate
Envy greed bloodthirstiness and
intolerance but are grounded in love
tolerance
truth and purity as you travel the path
of your sacred quest you will help to
dispel the absurdity of specialness that
the ego so assiduously promotes you will
see an end to this kind of thinking in
your life and on a worldwide scale as
well the higher part of ourselves that I
have talked about on this tape reacts to
a vision that is infinite
this is assuredly not the vision of the
ego the ego is just as cowardly on a
collective scale as it is on an
individual basis the world ego is
frightened of a mass appeal to overcome
our spiritual deficit when people face
inward and embrace a more loving
perspective the power of the sacred self
will create change not only in the
community but in the entire world
as well the world eagle will do all that
it can to prevent this kind of inner
approach it will ridicule those who
promote meditation peaceful
demonstrations and the love of God as a
way out of the morass of social evils
the collective ego convinces itself that
money makes it special and thus it will
throw dollars at any problem and pride
itself on the undertaking consume
consume consume more is better the more
you accumulate the fancier your toys the
bigger your shopping malls the more
petrol that you're using your
automobiles the more successful you are
it is a push away from peace toward a
style of consumerism and capitalism that
is defended as the way of civilization
yet your higher self knows there is no
peace in the more is better it is just
as true on the collective level as it is
on the individual plane the higher self
urges you to simplify and to avoid
contributing to anything that hurts
others or increases the separation from
your spiritual source as you listen more
closely to your sacred self and
transcend your ego so too will the world
legal be shifted away from power control
and money back to the basic virtues of
higher awareness back to peace beauty
love purity tolerance patience and
compassion this does not mean that the
benefits of Technology cannot be enjoyed
it means that the ego will not be the
motivating force in our lives what we
truly are as a people is a force that
craves peace and simplicity we want that
deeper awareness that comes with the
sanity of the higher self it is insane
to continue believing that we are a
collection of tribes each with a
separate identity and a special mission
it is insane to believe that anyone who
does not fit into our particular tribal
mentality is a potential enemy we know
that there is not a separate God for
each of us or even for each of our
tribes we know that there is a universal
divine intelligence that flows through
all of us and in that sacred space
within us we are all one and the same we
know that the best within us is love
kindness and compassion yet our egos
both individually and collectively have
campaigned long and hard to promote a
false idea how seen is it for people to
be killing each other over disputes that
ancient Eagles created
long before we arrived how sane is it
for us to believe that some of us
deserve to eat the food that God
provides and that others do not deserve
it by virtue of their geographic
location how seen is it for us to pump
up our youth with the philosophy of the
free ride by leading them to bleed but
if they want something they deserve it
how sane is it to show our children
pictures of violence as entertainment
and allow them to adopt the Eagle belief
that it is human nature to hurt others
as a way to defend the right to be
special and separate as our higher
selves begin to triumph over ego in a
daily decision-making of our lives we
will truly be making progress on the
path of the sacred quest for all of
humanity
you must banish all doubt about your
ability to facilitate such a quest and
begin to know that you are both the
microcosm and the macrocosm there is a
universe within you a unified field of
all possibilities that you can reach as
you become the compassionate witness be
silent shut down the inner dialogue most
important transcend the false self that
we call the Eagle that is when the
healing will begin to occur the world
ego is destined to be restrained as more
individuals look within and consult the
higher part of themselves the doubts are
vanishing and the spiritual revolution
is well underway moving toward an
egoless world is not some far-fetched
idea any more than the disintegration of
the Iron Curtain was a far-fetched idea
to those who heard such talk a few years
before it happened it did indeed seem
absurd but ideas thoughts and inner
knowings are powerful instruments for
the disintegration of the false self one
of the simplest and most powerful ways
of doing this is taught by X Net s
Warren writing in his book meditation he
advises us to spend 30 minutes every
morning in meditation repeating the
prayer of st. Francis in saying this
prayer we both transcend the ego and
invite the sacred self to guide us
through the day I invite you to join me
in this daily prayer as we share the
path of the sacred quest the prayer of
st. Francis goes like this lowered make
me an instrument of thy peace where
there is hatred let me sow love where
there is injury pardon
where there is doubt faith where there
is despair hope where there is darkness
light where there is sadness joy Oh
divine master grant that I may not so
much seek to be consoled as to console
to be understood as to understand to be
loved as to love for it is in giving
that we receive it is in pardoning that
we are pardoned it is in dying to self
that we are born to eternal life if you
have the same knowing about your world
dramatic changes will take place as we
collectively put to use the greatest
force in the universe the force of love
it seems only fitting to quote my
spiritual teacher nisargadatta maharaj
as I close this tape he reminds us of
the simplicity of creating a society
that is based on spiritual principles he
puts it this way
my stand is clear produced to distribute
feed before you eat give before you take
think of others before you think of
yourself only a selfless society based
on sharing can be stable and happy this
is the only practical solution if you do
not want it then fight I want it I
encourage you to do the same god bless
you and thank you for listening
