Motivations: It may seem very simple, but the motivations that we let fill us determine many outcomes and transform who we become. We know this, yet day to day reality and pressures still wear us down. Emotions for love of family and the rewards from that which we allow to fill

us build up how much we are willing to do and suffer for the sake of others who we build our lives around. Motivation for the quick and fast lifestyles we know lead to short term pleasures which often come at the expense of a sustainable existence. We know that. It is simple. But

despite that, the constant wearing down of day to day life, tv, radio, the powerful allure of the quick all wear us down. But look at those who have done evil. Podesta, Clinton, and countless corrupt politicians, businessmen and women, stars... The list goes on. Look at what

motivations it took to get them where they are now. Is that sustainable? Do you think that even if Hillary were healthy that this lifestyle could last indefinitely? Those who feed only on the energies of others and who do not give back are psychopaths. They may feel intense

pleasures, but there is an emptiness in what they lack. They may fake humanity well, but with discernment we can tell the difference. There was a time that I could not tell the difference that easily. People were a bit of a mystery in many ways. One of the early vivid visions I

had was when I was wanting to know more about love. I wanted a family, but needed more understanding as a teen. This was a two part vision which I have mentioned before. The first part, I was walking down a hall and saw a 10. Everything was filled suddenly with lust so I had no

power to look away. At the same time though, I had the very intense feeling that I was trapped. It was very odd and white uncomfortable. I could not look away and there was a lust that trapped, but at the same time I felt a prisoner. The vision faded thankfully. The next part

came a bit later. I suddenly saw myself laying down with a very kind and gentle girl just above me. The sun was coming from behind her so I could not see her face at that time. With everything she did, I saw that she knew small details about me. She knew very subtle things

because she paid attention. I knew she completely loved me because I could feel it deeply. It filled me up like nothing before. I knew that she loved so she paid attention, and that she knew so much because of that. From that day I tried to find her, but all I got was closed

doors. Eventually somehow I met the woman who was to be the ex I always complain about. Psychopaths seem charming at first, because they are good at that. Yes she had been a model back in her teens, but I thought little of that. It turns out though, she was the exact person my

first vision was about. The one where I was trapped and could not get out. I had been careful to make sure lust did not drive my intentions, but she got at me through my loneliness and a bit of flattery. I did not know better. But from the start of the marriage, something did not

seem right. I know not wanting to listen to my music, or try any movies I like is something that even good honest spouses can not want at times, but it fit a pattern. I was constantly going out of my way because I had been told marriage was deep sacrifice. But there is a

difference between trying hard and being a mark that was targeted and taken advantage of. I thought patience and a bit of explaining and guiding could fix things. I was very wrong. I know I am going on and on about a lot of things somewhat unrelated to politics, but I learned

again that people get better at what they pay attention to, and at what fills them. She wanted money, travel, shopping, and things not always bad, but the pattern was one that showed she had no interest in me, or even her kids. She literally did not even feed them or change

diapers if I was around to do it. Literally all her time became an obsession to fill her cup with things that benefited no one but herself. I do not mean to talk badly about anyone, but the point here is to show a pattern that is common, and that we must all avoid, especially in

politicians we choose. The ugly and abusive side got worse and worse. Having to take care of two young kids by yourself while still having a huge to do list and fitting in work best I could was tough. Luckily I was able to fit in work after the kids went to sleep. Now exhaustion

and abuse does make you want to lash out. My girl was a particularly fussy one at times. At first with how frazzled and beat up I was, I could not feel anything but weight when I held her. My hands were tense, my body drained of anything good through the constant demoralization

and tireless work trying to keep everything from falling apart. Of course psychopaths see when things are falling apart and take further advantage to force their will to gain advantage. That does not help. But back to the point. I had always wanted a good family. My girl was

fussy and hard to deal with. I did feel at some times as if it were a sack of potatoes I could just so easily chuck at the wall. At the same time though, I knew that what filled me would transform me for good or bad. I prayed for feeling and for peace. Something happened over

the day after day I was with her. I told my hands to calm, my breath to go in and out, and my body to relax. I felt my pulse and made it slow. Every step was a conscious effort. But in doing this, I began to feel, I mean really feel a deep connection. What's more, I could feel

that she felt it too. With my boy who was always less trouble, and my girl, they both became so close. We to this day have a bond that is amazing. They do not get in trouble much at all. But this came from what I wanted to fill me, and what I paid attention to.

The rewards we allow ourself change who we are and the relationship we have with others. It is hard work sometimes, but we can change what rewards we choose to take. That will change us to be more patient and more able to be there for others. Do you think that someone who has

trained themselves to be amazingly suave at the bar each Thursday, Friday, and Saturday would habe the patience to take care of kids that calmly in this situation? Maybe, if they had also built up thise skills in other times, but maybe not. I was able to because I consciously

trained my body to feel and know the personality of my kids though small gestures, and subtle things no one else would catch. I was able to catch real pleasures of their happiness at doing something for then first time, or having me there to make them being yelled at easier.

In short, I was able to connect and be rewarded with positive emotions in situations that I had not earlier. Yes the parent hormones of protection help, but trust me there is also practice involved as any good parent knows. But going back to politics and life. Look at those on

the left. Look at the corrupt. Look at abortion, or this or that. What motivation fills them? What do they pay attention to? Psychopaths lie very well. They have people that can help guide them to fool, but those who know can see the details. There are always details. Pay

attention to the details in what drives people. They will know tricks no one else knows, but what type of tricks? Are they tricks to lie with ease? Are they little things to help and comfort others? We all get things with age and with paying attention. The spin doctors in media

may try to hide the real consequences of actions. They portray with glamor and excitement things that actually wear us down and lead to sorrow. Do not let them hide and confuse the consequences and details. Those are important. The good people will show through their works

and their knowledge/abilities. We must change how we value and pick leaders. We have been doing it wrong. Change the things we look for in life, and we will become better at seeing who has honest motivations. Do not watch media as much. Train your heart and mind to see things

that fill in better ways. The evil ones cannot spin forever. They do not have the ability to hide everything. They give themselves away in what they truly delight in. They do hard very dark secrets, but being good, having the spirit, and learning to see, we will prevail.
