It’s your choice whether you succeed or you don’t succeed.

Our success in life, whether in business, the Internet, or elsewhere, depends totally on the choices we make. If we possess a lot of excellent advice but fail to do what we are told, we will certainly fail!

A 1995 survey  of historians by The Washington Post asked whom they considered to be the most influential man of the millennium. Thirteenth Century Mongol leader, Genghis Khan, was their overwhelming choice! He brought relative peace to what began as many feuding nomadic tribes. He rewarded loyalty and demanded religious tolerance. He established perhaps the first public education system, opened trade routes, and established communication among many diverse peoples and cultures.

Poland on the West, andArabia to the South. They did this while living beside much larger and more developed nations like India and China. The Mongols accomplished more because they weren’t restrained by the passive religious beliefs of Buddhism or the rigid discipline of Confucianism.

Genghis and most of his early followers believed in Shamanism defined by Thomas Cowan as ”the intentional effort to develop . . . relationships with . . . spirits by consciously leaving ordinary reality and journeying into the nonordinary realms of the spirit world.” And Urgunge Onon goes on to say “Shamanists believe the soul is linked directly to Heaven and the individual is therefore the center of his own universe. Heaven is nothing more nor less than the consciousness of each one of us. Heaven is our guide; under it we are born free and equal.” This is true unconventional thinking with respect to absolutely everything that happens.

The idea of the individual being the center of their own universe is exactly a premise resulting from modern Quantum Mechanics. Quantum ideas are difficult for scientists and everyone else to wrap themselves around because some of the resulting concepts are, well, unbelievable. How can anything be in two places at the same time? It’s also hard to believe the Khans, through their Shamanic beliefs, actually recognized these Quantum ideas almost 1,000 years ago. They were remarkable people whose ideas can teach us much.

Many knowledgeable historians have called  Genghis Khan  the greatest strategist of all time. His armies were extremely mobile capable of covering 100 miles a day for continued periods. Mongols used longbows with a range of 200 yards or more with a pull strength of 166 pounds! The Khan used intimidation, negotiation, and cunning strategy to subdue his enemies. He would send a small force in a frontal assault while the bulk of his forces  went a long way around through impassable swamps and swiftly attacked from the rear or other unexpected direction. Genghis Khan could be the origin of  the well known strategy “attack from the East while coming from the West” advocated by Mao Tze Tung

What does this have to do with your success in life?  There’s no way anyone can give you a blueprint “one size fits all” way to live a successful life. There is a lot of advice available from many sources on the Internet or local seminars. Google will find you the stories of many successful people who detail exactly what they are doing. But just knowing what others are doing guarantees you nothing. You must develop a plan and act on the knowledge you have been taught.

Reach inside of yourself, like Genghis Khan, and choose to succeed. Believe in the Quantum concept that you can create your own universe! One way to do this is open many avenues of income for you, a little at a time. The present depression could last another 10 years, maybe longer. Here’s one way to create your future Universe http://ow.ly/p65c.

This is a large departure from my usual writing here—there is no way any of this is positive. It’s an absolute tragedy that no one will address in a serious manner because it will ultimately affect their financial welfare. Money has replaced morality throughout our entire political system. This is why I recommend nobody vote for an incumbent in any election, ever! Politics corrupts because it carries power with it and should not become a career opportunity for anyone.

And here is the current malaise. The Democrats have now whittled down to two just prior to Super Tuesday. Senator Clinton has appeared to be the clear leader until just recently when she has apparently been overtaken by Senator Obama. But neither of these seem to appeal to a majority of Democrats. Ms. Clinton should be the leader, but she is apparently hated by the Party leaders. Young people seem to be attracted to Obama, perhaps because he is different. The point is, voters really have no choice and never did. Why?

Nobody can afford to run for any political office except the very rich or entrenched politicians with large fund-raising lists. So we have two front-runners nobody really likes.

The Republicans are worse off; Sen. McCain seems to be far ahead of Gov. Romney but nobody will send him money. He’s dying on the vine and has had to borrow money to run. Romney has his own pot of gold to use, but Republicans don’t like him, either. Wouldn’t it be a shame if the front-runner with the most popular votes had to quit because of no money?

That would surely be a travesty because it would absolutely prove it’s possible to buy the US Presidency.
