Forcing Proactive: (Unedited): 23 Aug 2017:

You must be proactive against the negative aspects of impossible thinking. While at the same time forcing yourself into the positive aspects that all things are probable forms of thinking. 

C.J.MacKechnie

=================
I just had a discussion with my young son working on his second degree. Sometimes when faced with impossibility and absolute unfavorable certainty. You still gotta show in your self and to others what you absolutely expect from them even if it includes how they think. You cannot have your/our finest moment without first expecting and maintaining that attitude among everyone who is with you.

-----------------------------
Really?!?!? you want a square peg in a round hole and if you don't do it in a short amount of time with poorly thinking people. They are all gonna die. So how long do you want to argue or debate the issue?
================
Before you as a leader can overcome an unfortunate, ill-conceived, unplanned, impossible and improbable undesired certainty. You as a manager must first be able to assemble a team and grow that team with a singular unity and goal as defined by you. All without becoming some prideful god, arrogant dictator, supreme intellectual, or some entitled crown prince. The words below will be helpful.
====================

To avert all of the coming bad and sad prophecies. We each must decide to do the following everyday, every hour, every minute and every second.

To Love one another.

To live in peace with everyone.

To exist in harmony with all.

To Cherish all life.

To be obedient to the Laws of God.

To become righteous and holy by the accepting eyes of God only.

All without pride, ego, arrogance, supremacy or entitlements.

Corporate Family: (Unedited): 26 July 2014:

The flaws of leadership and of management can be accounted by 4 perceptions. Remember it is the rare person who can be both a leader and a manager. It seems in this modern world no one really wants a leader. Because, a leader can break out of the box he/she was confined to by the rest of the officers or corporate officers. Either way a person who can do both lead and manage can and will profit you most in the long term. A leader/manager who is also personable and a teacher is a gift. Because, this very rare type of person will cause an effect upon everyone to work towards their goals from an outpouring of emotion.

Reactionary

A person, group or organization who become purely reactionary in how they manage and lead. may very be the ultimate in selfishness. Their intentions may very well be to pass the buck. Because, in the medium or long term. The consequences of any of their decisions will fall upon the person or persons who follow them. Pure reactionary decisions will gain you the most monies possible in your promised bonuses but at what long term cost? Loss of life? Loss of equipment and property? The negative things which may happen will fall upon others shoulders and the blame will be not placed upon this person(s). Assuming they ever even cared.

Being temporarily reactionary can be a good thing as the person or persons can effectively engage all unforeseen problems which may and will arise. A management/leadership team who also engages their employees or enlisted personnel for advice, input, insight and ideas. Brings all of the wholeness of gifts and talents to bear into hopefully all unforeseen situations.  This is team work. This is family in which everyone is supposed to have a say. This is the corporate home in which everyone is responsible for doing their part. Caring people is what makes an awesome home even if it is within the corporate structure, military structure or which ever organized structure.

Being forced into a reactionary situation will mean you have to mitigate the problem quickly. Then once the new threat is managed and dispersed.  You go into a proactive stance for a time. proactive is this sense means how to put into place those new policies which will prevent any other occurrences from happening again.

Corporate starvation

This is where all of the corporate officers and investors absolutely starve the corporation to near death. This is done by withholding the vast majority of funds for any kind of improvement and or maintenance.
Renegotiating worker benefit and pay packages to lower over all costs to the corporation while at the same time inform all of the employees just how much better the plans are. The corporate officers may even add new benefits which become better over the duration of employment. Then every few years renegotiate all of the benefits so that everyone must start back at day 1 with the new packages.
All the while the corporate officers base pay, benefits packages and bonus programs are all corporately classified. 
There can also be a cycle of where the stocks crest and then fall. The corporate officers can manipulate the stocks rise and fall so as to profit the most out of it. Sell when the planned stock prices are high and buy when the planned stock prices are at their lowest. Repeat the process over and over again. I've seen it being done in the trucking industry. Even though the process can take a couple of years between troughs. It's all how to see the patterns.
The worker turnover is also planned out. By promoting consistent worker turnover. You never have any long term benefit pay outs or retirement payments. Payroll always stay nearly the same. Pay raises never become so high that wages become a problem. By maintain employees at all levels for 4-6 years. Then push them out as in cause them to leave willingly and rehire that position at a lower starting wage.
The corporate officers who actively this form of corporate starvation has no emotional connection to the corporation and is doing what they are doing in order to make them their desired income potentials and windfalls. While at the same time ruining any opportunities for any worker to have any sort of future.
Usually the corporate officers who starve the corporation are also only managing in a reactionary style. It is all about the corporate officers, the investors and nothing else.
====================================
Just as in any war time situation. The captors nearly starve all of their enemies of war who have been captured. This is to prevent those in captivity to not have enough strength to make an escape and to protect their own soldiers from any kind of an attack.

Lifestyle Curses: (Unedited): 07 July 2013:

In all things that you do and do not do. Those things may become your curses from others for a period of time. 

Ending those curses may require a genuine apology as well as your lifestyle change. 

C.J.MacKechnie

================================================
Beginning to end the curses within your life is being proactive in the preventative measures taken by you.
==================================================
How to prevent the beginning of curses.
This is easy to answer. Be honest. Be a person of Honor and Integrity. Work hard and smart. Show your heart with an outward expression of empathy, mercy and compassion. A high standard of morality and ethics will benefit you in the long term of your life.
Do not accept anything which may have a questionable source. Meaning lost or stolen. Losers weepers does not mean finders keepers.  Do not make deals which hide any possible evil outcome. 

For instance. Some people will only help those who are stranded for an expected monetary reward.
Some people will capture a lost pet and wait for the flyers on  a light pole offering a reward. Then come in as heroes. 

This is about changing attitudes within a culture. This is about curing your own diseased heart filled with the poison called apathy. 

The curse of addictions such as drugs, cigarettes and alcohol are all chemicals which enslave a population to the will of the government or authority in charge. The illegal drugs will curse you with prison, disease and maybe death. The cigarettes will cause you to no longer care to the degree that you should care. The alcohol will cause you to make immoral decisions and exercise risky behaviors. Tie them all together and you become less than human. A very real curse which affects your own humanity.

 

=============================================
How to end the curses in your life.
Some curses may only end in your death. These curses of diseases are supposed to be a reminder to everyone on how not to act unwisely. The prolonged use of mind altering drugs may cause you to contract diseases such as HIV/AIDS. The lifestyle of illegal drug use may cause you to contract other life style related diseases. Which will only end in your death. 
You may already live in a prison cell in which you will only become free of when your body ceases. This curse may not end for your body. But for your heart, mind and spirit. You can become free of the imprisoned curse. 
The curse of being an Ex-convict may always shadow you and your children. 
Over time, you may win a victory over some curses and this will only come with a genuine change with your heart, mind and spirit. You must no longer live with a criminal or gang member mindset. You must free yourself from cultural lies and deceptions. Such as racism and the acceptance of immoralities. 
You must freely reject which is evil as defined by the old ways and live by your own free choice the good ways to a good life. Only this way will a good life will be your just reward. Then your children who witness your actions in life. Will also know the profound unshakable truth in which you live by. A choice of truth. If your professional life and your personal life matches what your own children see in you. Then they should decide to live a good life as you have done. Good parents shall they become and a good parent shall be seen in you by the evidence of your own children's lives they lead. 

If you have curses in your life right now. Seek out all of those things which have a questionable past and rid yourself of them all. Even if it means you have nothing after you rid yourself of all of the illegal stuff.  
Rid yourself of all bad friends. Those who drink and drug. Those who steal, rob and conduct all other criminal activities. Those who deal wrongly and unfairly. Yes, this includes all business affiliations of any kind. You may end up alone for a time. This empty space in your being will awaken your heart and your own heart will begin to burn away all of the poisonous apathy that is within. You will feel the urge to go back to your old bad buddies. keep them in your dirty and dusty past. Just like watching your rear view mirror as you speed away. Staying away and keeping away from your old evil deeds may be in itself a trial and tribulation. This will be necessary for you to endure as your own sincerity is what is being tested. Are you lying to yourself or do you really want to have a good life becoming a good human being? There will be other tests for you to pass and they will not stop until your own personal end of days. 
The fixing of a flat tire with only a gratitude as a reward. The new ramp for a disabled person in which you get to supply the wood and her choice of paint and out of your pocket cash. With only gratitude as your only reward. What ever your gift and skills are in that is where your expression of true compassion and mercy shall be. 
This is how you only begin to end the curses in which you have created for yourself.

Encroaching Cockroach: (Unedited): 25 Dec 2011:

The passively helpless mind will always allow negativity to seep through, like a mismanaged dam. While the positively proactive mind will always fortify their mental defenses. Never allowing anything negative to come near or even have a chance to encroach upon them like a stealthy cockroach. C.J.MacKechnie.

==================================
 Having authority over all aspects of your own mind means having absolute control over every thought and emotion. In order, Logical thought first, Emotional response next. This order of thinking is necessary, especially when identifying if an emotion or thought is actually your own. Usually the empathic or one who has been gifted with discernment as defined by the Christian Religion. May not even be aware they have such a gift. The genuine Christian may even reject the gift as some sort of occult action or witch craft. Especially since a large portion of the Christian authority nearly reject all works in the gifts from GOD. This is why the Christian of today sees virtually no Miracles in action. The fear of the spooky even if the origin is from the HOLY FATHER.
The empathic gift of discernment often begins small and insignificant. meaning the person feels something which is not easily known via the standard 5 human physical senses.  Then as the gifted person begins to exercise the emotional gifts and develops a better control over their own mind. The second part of the gift begins to manifest. This second part is the intellectual information tied directly to the person who is the source.
Hint: Study the woman at the well with Jesus. Or just study Jesus. Jesus exercised in all of the gifts.
