Hello everybody,I’ve been reading again and this book is
the bomb! The title of the book is;
” Why do I keep doing that?” by Dennis Wholey.
In the book,he talks about how so much of what we do now
(our habits)can be traced back to the habits we had as a child.
Futhermore,he enlisted the aide of several of his Dr. of
psychology friends to give some of their personal experiences
as to why people,”keep repeating” their negative behaviors.

While listening to a motivational CD,I thought about the story
of creation and how God created everything.I thought to myself;
if God created everything and we were made in his image.Then
we have the power to create things too!We have the power to
create our own future.We have the power to decide what we want
to do with our lives.
Also, the CD talked about the power of our thoughts and words.
The things we think about along with the words that we say,can
be poison or power.The main reason why we’re not as successful
as we can be,is because of our thought patterns and the words we
use.
A successful person’s thoughts and word patterns are extremely
differently from that of an underachiever’s.Which means that they
also have different habits and actions.You see,your actions precede
your emotions.Before you can drop even one tear,you must first
think about something.Before you yell at someone ,you must first
think about it.Before you can build anything with your hands,you
must create it in your mind first.Before you can create anything,
you must think about it first.
Futhermore,we know that you can’t use negative thoughts and
words to create anything positive.You have to use positive
thoughts and words to create positive things.So be very careful of
the thoughts and words that you think about or use.Your words
and thoughts have the power to make or brake you.

We often talk about racism and how we will react in different
racially charged situations.Well,yesterday I experienced, ” In Your
Face Racism.I was at the local mall with my kids waiting for the
ticket booth to open.(We had to stand outside a gate).While
waiting a white family also walked up to the gate.After about 10
minutes,they let up the gate.However,there was misunderstanding
about who should get their tickets first.{you think that grown-ups
could of worked this out without resorting to making racially
charged statements,specially with the kids standing there}.
Nevertheless,the white male decided to bring up the whole
Jena ( the Jena 6 ) situation.He even went as far as to say
that he should of brought his rope with him.
I don’t know if it was the fact that I’m a Christian,if it was because
I knew that my kids were watching,or because I could tell how
childish this guy was acting.Whatever the reason,I looked at him
in disbelief,and then stepped up to the ticket counter and paid for
our tickets.
After we left the mall,I discussed the situation;how the white man
reacted and how I reacted.I let them know that they have to be
ready to react positive to,” In Your Face Racism.”
We can’t control what other people say or do.However,we can
control what we say,do,and most importantly;how we respond to
what they say or do.
I believe we’re going to have to do like they did doing the Civil
Rights Movement.During that era,the people trained the people
how to react to the negative things that were said and done to
them.
Yes,I know that racism is alive and well( I just experienced it
yesterday ).However, I refuse to let racism taint the way I feel
about my white friends and associates.And I have to teach my
kids to respect other races and our differences

Well, last night’s lost to the New Orleans Hornets ended the
Dallas Mavericks hopes of winning the NBA championship.
Also, it prompted the Mavericks owner to fire the headcoach,
Avery Johnson.Although Avery has won the coach of the year
award, and has been successful in getting his team to the playoffs
each year since he has been the headcoach ; the owner felt that it
was time for a change.
With all that being said,as a Lousianian,I would like to take this
time to express my sincere appreciation to Avery Johnson for
showing the world that even a small townboy(Avery Johnson),
from a smalltown University(Southern University);can not only
play with the NBA best,but can coach with some of the best
as well.Avery is a perfect example of a little man with a very
big heart.
The state of Louisiana may not recognize Avery as a Legend.
However,at garryblanson.com,we already have made the
acknowledgement.Futhermore, if you are from Louisiana or
if you are a Southern University Jaguar Alumni member.Be sure
that you get the word out,and tell everyone that Avery Johnson
is a Louisiana Legend.
