WHEN YOU WIN THE LOTTERY SHARE IT WITH THOSE THAT HELPED AND SUPPORTED YOU!

Definitely keep this in mind when you win.  It doesn't take much to improve or increase a person's situation.  When it is within your means to help others do it!  That's some of the best advise that can be given to all of you!  It is better to give than to receive.  Take time and be a blessing in some one's life today!  Life is too short!  Don't waste it in anger, regret and consistently bad decisions.  When you look at the world people can get it right.  Today, when you work together and have order in your house everyone wins!  Why not set your family up for success?  Unfortunately money or the misuse of it has destroyed a lot of families.  Responsible use and the thoughts of helping others, after paying tithes will put you on a collision course with a BLESSING!  Thanks! KEEP COMMUNICATING!!! KEEP WINNING!!!

Renew Your Commitment to Your Craft!

It doesn't matter how long ago that you started working your craft! Now is the time to rekindle the fire that you originally had for your craft! Set before you all of your plans for achievement and accomplish them! Continue to work your craft and build your skill level and credibility.  Protect and manage your career, buy controlling your image and media.  Example would be for you to only have pictures of you smiling in the media! You must always project a can do attitude all the time.  Stay away from all of the toxic people that you can!  Toxic family, co-workers, students, teachers or artists that have chose to be negative. Your need to have people around you that are going to build and encourage you at all times!  It is critical that you create, and maintain a positive environment to maximize your creativity.  This is how you start to fight for your future! Block out the noise of the toxic people.  Don not give toxic people any position with your life.  Never give up on your future!  Be consistent and work your craft and experience, experimentation and gain AH-HA moments.  Continue to push your skills, equipment to new heights!  Create the synergy that you deserve to position you to WIN!

DECLASSIFIED SECRET #2 DEALING WITH ADVERSITY & EVIL PEOPLE (PART 1)

Face it, when you are trying to do something good that goes against the norm adversity will be on the horizon.  I recently had 2 people try and destroy, discourage me on the walk that I am on in this life.  What I understand when it comes to people, they act on who you represent!  Understanding that these individuals are operating out of fear, jealousy and their life is held together by saliva and egg whites. Always pick which battle you want to fight and win!  Always remember that fight and win as a Soldier go together! Mercy is being shown.  It is not any coincidence that people reap what they sow.  If you plant Nightshade, you get Nightshade.  If you plant Corn you get Corn. If you plant Watermelons, you get Juicy Watermelons! If you sow seeds of Discord you reap Discord.  Your mind is just like the ground! What you plant in it will grow.  Good or Bad, it will grow as wild and abundant as you feed it.  If you show unconditional love for everyone, you will receive unconditional love, favor and mercy.  Understanding that life demands that we each have order, discipline and structure to our lives.

Always take the high road and minimize negative people's influence in your life. Always ride the crest of the wave, it puts you well above the situation.  Stay positioned to WIN!  Sometimes people will use their position, status or influence to try and harass, discourage or take you off of your path.  "Even when you are a POW, you can still smile and talk junk to let the idiots know you are delayed not defeated."  It may look like they are in control, God has the final say.  Keep planting seeds of LIBERATION in your mind when you feel trapped or cornered. You will be LIBERATED!  Take on the same spirit that David had when he ran towards Goliath when you pursue your craft.  You will get the VICTORY!  Evil people help defeat themselves, by their own habits! Evil people walk clearly by sight and by their own selfishness and hunger for violence.  They live a tortured life trying to scramble, fight and have illegitimate authority over others.  Evil people bounce from state to state not in a regular move but running from situations that they have created. As I share this information, you can see that people that are evil, lack discipline, focus or relevance.  That is why it may seem that "Evil People" throw stones at you every once in a while.  Being an Evil person, is living a tortured, lonely and difficult life.  Remember when Evil people attack you and your career, they are attacking you with their best!  They are at the highest point that they will ever achieve with their current mindset! 

Outlast the evil, and be successful and live life to its fullest by achieving all of your goals and dreams!  Never let a person that's a turd, convince you to abandon your dreams and goals.  There are already too many people in the world doing that.  Why become one of them?  Also remember Evil people, don't have personal goals, they just want to try and inflict pain on everyone they encounter.  BE ENCOURAGE!  You can overcome any adversity that comes your way.  You have to believe that you WIN! If you believe that you will lose you will reap what you plant.  Always approach life with vim, vigor and a can do winning spirit! Always plant seeds of optimism in your mind and others!  Always plant seeds of optimism in your minds and others!  Always plant seeds of optimism in your mind and others!  Everyday is a Holiday! Every meal is a FEAST! Keep WINNING! Copyright 2014 American Artist Carl Childs

DECLASSIFIED SECRET #1 FOR 2014

Be encouraged!  You can outlast the haters! Never feed into their system of games and foolishness.  When you keep the main thing the main thing you keep your focus.  Foolish people try to establish their level of importance in your life.  Always remember that you have GOLD right now.   Realize that some people, not all want your GOLD.  When it comes to the HATERS, I'm going to share the closest guarded secret in the world.  When it comes to the imps, I mean haters.  They want to be you or like you.  They enjoy and envy the attention that you get all the time.  They want to replace you.  They say things like: He smiles too much.  He's too happy! No one deserves all that attention! He doesn't have real legitimate moxie! I'm not going to the exhibit! Why is everyone making a big deal out of this? He was only on CNN twice!  They say things that give you a hint to their thought process or lack there of.  "When I see him, its just like he's laughing at me."  When you just flash the smile you are blessed to have and enjoy staying stuck on joy as a way to live.

When there's drama, it is because you are not only doing something right but you are doing it with excellence, precision and ease.  So instead of being a fan of your work they are diametrically opposed to all that you are and stand for.  They feel that you have robbed them of fame and fortune and plot for your fall.  These haters are not just strangers, they are family, teachers and anyone that buys into the noise.  Remember, if a hater has temporary authority over you as a teacher, follow the rules, learn and get through the class.  Do not be compromised to do anything illegal or unethical because the hater wants to have power over you!  Haters will talk about you to their spouses to the extent the spouse will come tell you.  This is when someone really likes and wants to be you that they alienate or anger their own spouse with their obsession of you.  Be very careful, all that I'm sharing is true.  Scary is some ways but oh so true!  People see what you get.  They rarely see the cost that you have to pay to get the synergy that you have.  When someone believes that you get recognition that they feel is not in proportion to your efforts or experience they hate you.  This is where the twist and twisting starts!

Be safe and take people's actions toward you and your career very seriously.  Make sure that you be ready to battle legally when someone crosses the line.  Make sure it is worth it and legitimate.  Not everyone is going to have your fire and perspective on your craft!  Don't allow the Nay Sayers to contaminate your thought process, goals, dreams and accomplishments.  You will unfortunately experience people breaking your work and destroying your electronics to try and put your career on ice or to end it.  You will experience the "Family Hater" that will try to advise you on your career, exhibits and discourage you to go for higher degrees when they have their AOS degree.  If you have 1 or more Art Degrees is this person really qualified or looking out for your best interest?  I'll answer that for you NO!  One good thing about the haters your fire and motivation forces them to work!  They have to step up if they don't want to look too bad.  Watch how things tend to change and people will start to emulate some of your work ethic.  The ultimate thing I will share is that you can win over your HATERS! :) Keep WINNING!  The VICTORY IS ALREADY YOURS!  Now the theme music to Rocky (Eye of the Tiger) can stop playing now! :)

Keep the Basics Sharp!

Today was a pencil and charcoal day! I strive to get as many hours in each day working my craft!  Today was an AH-HA moment or blending discovery!  It is important to keep the basics sharp!  I'm excited to work my craft and enjoy encouraging others to work their craft also.  We are supposed to build and encourage each other every chance we come in contact with each other.  All of the material things don't matter.  All of those things can be replaced with something better.  Relationship is what it is all about.  How we treat each other has a direct bearing on our lives.  Keeping it simple we reap what we sow.  I choose to sow seed by investing, blessing, encouraging, teaching, forgiving and unconditionally loving others.  Every day is an opportunity to make your family, neighborhood, town, city, county, state, country and world better! It is important to get to a status in life where you can be able to be a blessing to others.  It doesn't matter if anyone ever discovers what you have done for all of humanity.  It is documented in the city of HEAVEN. GOD BLESS Keep WINNING!  Be encouraged with a renewed spirit of excellence and a relentless pursuit of peace, joy and VICTORY!
