Have a Dream,Tell a Dream, Do a #Dream

You can't stop a fella' who has a dream.

I have a dream, and I will tell you a dream, and I am doing my dream.

My dream serves many purposes and it is my desire to please God. In my dream, I rapidly raise the quality of life of children and adults with autism, ADHD, and executive function skill deficits. In my dream, I use creative and innovative approaches to make what was once thought impossible...possible. In my dream, I teach kids with autism to be acclimated to living outside their comfort zone. In my dream, I work with kids, teenagers and parents at the poverty level to rapidly develop their executive function skills through the context of customized entrepreneurship. In my dream, I am a servant-leader empowering others to be servant-leaders who give back to their community. In my dream, I am a small light that brings hope into hearts, and I watch that light go from heart to heart.

I have a dream. I dream that families who think they are destitute see that their is hope and that they need not wait on .gov for some meager check. In my dream, I see countless families and individuals replicating and duplicating this burning light into others, far beyond me, to the point where they cannot trace it back to me. In my dream, I am not some big, famous person, but I am a father of three children who can be proud of their Daddy, and learn the value of being self-less, of caring for others regardless of who they are, or what they believe in.

I have a dream that individuals with clout, loud speakers, and 'power' can put their weight behind this dream. I have a dream that these individuals who God has given 'position' to can see that my dream is not a self-serving dream, but a dream to break the glass metacognitive ceiling that stops many, slows down many (even me), from tightening their boot straps, wiping the mud off their face after they have failed miserably, and taking God's flint and Stone and working at keeping that fire alive.

I have a dream of entering housing projects humbly and fighting the good fight for the hearts of fatherless children. I have a dream that youth centers that service kids at the poverty level (or near the poverty level) will take chances with me and let me do what I do.

I have a dream that some of these kids will grow up and have positively changed lives, not because I did it for them, but because they saw my example, and duplicated it with others.

I am doing my dream. I need help from others.  Will you enter my dream? Will the governor of a state enter my dream? Will the director of a youth center enter my dream? I think they could, for my dream is the dream of many others too. 

I think God put this dream in me. 

You can't stop a fella'....who has a dream.

Have a dream.... Tell a dream.... Do a dream.

The Gaslighting of our Constitutional Understanding & The Original Purpose of the U.S. Government

By
John Adams   “I have found by Experience, that in this Age of the World that Man has an awful Lot, who “dares to  love his Country and be poor.” Liberty and virtue! When! oh When will your Enemies cease to exist or to persecute! Our Country will be envied, our Liberty will be envied, our Virtues will be envied. Deep and subtle systems of Corruption hard to prove, impossible to detect, will be practised to sap and undermine Us and the few who penetrate them will be called suspicious, envious, restless turbulent ambitious—will be hated unpopular and unhappy. But a succession of these Men must be preserved, for these are the salt of the Earth. Without these the World would be worse than it is.” Letter To Abigail Adams, from John Adams, Paris, April 16, 1783 Few generations, said George Washington and John Adams, are fortunate to produce brilliant minds and hearts that are selfless. How shall we fare in our present? What is the path of national political unanimity that ...

Being a Maverick Thinker with Your #ExecutiveFunction Skills

By
Once we understand what our executive function skills are, we move to streamlining how well we use them, how they show up/ don't show up in our life. As we move through our understanding of how to better manage our ideas, feelings and actions, can their be soft and hard forces which are orchestrated with the focus of instilling in us..how to think...how to act... how to respond? Or is 'man' so free in mind, so independent, and so ahead of these forces that he is not affected, not thwarted in his goals, and not redirected easily? If we are to polish and tone these executive function skills so that we can harness the ability of our mind (a tool) to facilitate successful outcomes for ourselves, should we not start by bringing a critical eye to why we think the way we think? Is this not metacognition, or how we use our thought process to approach the world?  Using systems theory, any system that is accepted into a larger system invariably begins to affect tha...

Graciousness Through Christ Jesus Who Is Written In Our Hearts

By
“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines.For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein. We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.” The Epistle To The Hebrews Chapter 13:8–10 Having Faith, hope in what is not seen; yet, through the Word of God, ‘faith’ having greater meaning, hope through the Word and the gracious power of the Spirit of the Word, Truth & Righteousness, brings one; that is to say, translates one, from the kingdom of spiritual darkness: a life, replete with an attitude, perspective, reasoning, and quality of life that is intrinsically a life of scarcity, vanity, gain & advantage, strife, and selfishness, into THE kingdom of God; the kingdom of Light; an abounding reality overflowing with God, and the fruit of his Spirit: joy, peace, faith, gentleness, temperan...
