The Possibilities of
LIMITLESS
Living life without limits allows one to discover the success of what
dwells within. Exploring high vibration levels of creativity creates the
desired life that one is searching for. Realizing that the search results
to changing within to experience the desired experience. Keep
happiness at the forefront of every situation in life and it will free your
current circumstance. Forgive all of those that have disappointed you
in any way to clear the way for new accomplishments to present
themselves. Give thanks to everyone and everything that universally
enters your life. And share love to every living being that crosses your
path. Life without Limits, the possibilities.

Interdependence
The 5 Elements of Being
Interdependence a mutual dependence between things. One will discover
that there is a great deal of interdependence between plants, animals and
human beings. Inter- means "between," so interdependence is dependence
between things.
Everything in nature is made up of five basic elements: earth, water, fire, air, and space.
Knowledge of the five elements allows one to understand the laws of nature and to attain
greater health, power, knowledge, wisdom and happiness through self evaluation. This
arises out of deep intuition of how the universe operates.
Knowledge of the five elements is an essential because the elements form the world we
live in and the structure of our body-mind and soul.
The States of Matter
Each of the five elements represents a state of matter. Earth is not just soil, but it is
everything in nature that is solid. Water is everything that is liquid. Air is everything that is
a gas.
Fire is that part of Nature that transforms one state of matter into another. For example,
fire transforms the solid state of water (ice) into liquid water and then into its gaseous
state (steam). Withdrawing fire recreates the solid state. Fire is a transformation process
of purification because it is the means by which we can purify, empower, and control the
other states of matter. Thoughts of physical fitness, food cooking display this process of
purifying. All though too much can cause damage.
Interdependence
Interdependence is the richness of relationships, the adventure of discovery, the
spontaneity and deep fulfillment of putting people ahead of schedules, and the joy of
creating together what did not exist before.
Not only are you dependent upon many people in your life and
in your community, they are also dependent upon you. You
can probably think of many important responsibilities
that you have to your family, friends, classmates,
employers, and fellow citizens. They rely
on you, just as you rely on them. Neither of you
wants to be let down by the other. This is the
essence of interdependence among people—people needing
one another, depending upon one another, and cooperating to
achieve mutual benefits or common goals.

A Look @ Education in America
Free Students from stadardized Test,
They Are Pointless!
AStandardized tests have been a part of American education since the mid-1800s. Their
use skyrocketed after 2002's No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) mandated annual testing in
all 50 states. US students slipped from being ranked 18th in the world in math in 2000 to
27th in 2012, with a similar decline in science and no change in reading. Failures in the
education system have been blamed on rising poverty levels, teacher quality, tenure
policies, and, increasingly, on the pervasive use of standardized tests.
Proponents say standardized tests are a fair and objective measure of student
achievement, that they ensure teachers and schools are accountable to taxpayers, and
that the most relevant constituents – parents and students – approve of testing.
Opponents say the tests are neither fair nor objective, that their use promotes a narrow
curriculum and drill-like "teaching to the test," and that excessive testing undermines
America's ability to produce innovators and critical thinkers.
source(http://standardizedtests.procon.org/)
In education the goal for America is to produce laborers for the work force. If there are no labors the
country goes bankrupt. Education in America is made available for one sole purpose. That is to tax the
United States Citizens on the money they earn through trading their time for hourly pay.
One could sit back and evaluate this process. What does the curriculum truly teach? Why is the school
system aggressive in labeling students verses authentically teaching them?
A time in our society is approaching where parents are fed up and speaking out on behalf of their children.
Less testing and more teaching is the approach. Free education for all students and entrepreneurship is
the goal.
The school system continues to produce co-dependent citizens for a system that is consistently in debt and
rely s on the blood of the citizens to SURVIVE!

Summer Fun!
Summertime is a time when school is in recess and relaxing is the focus. I enjoy summer
mostly because I get to go visit my Grandparents in the South-West and love on my
cousins. You know cousins are your first best friends in most cases? Anyway where
where we? oh summertime. My Grandma finds the best summer camps and the bar-b-
ques in the backyard are a slam-dunk! I always look forward to this time of year its the
best. It is really nice to have summer to look forward to, I often think of a time when it will
never end. But the Labor Day holiday is a reminder that reality is, back to school...

How does the United States Continue to Print Currency in Debt?
What does it mean when someone
says the Federal Reserve is printing
money? It doesn't mean the Fed has a
printing press that cranks out dollars.
Only the Treasury Department does
that.
To understand how the Fed “prints
money,” remember that most of the
money in use today is not cash. It's
credit that's added to banks' deposits.
It’s similar to the kind of credit you
receive when your employer deposits
your paycheck directly into your bank
account.
The Fed has two tools it relies upon to effect monetary policy. One is the fed funds
rate. The Federal Open Market Committee is the Fed’s operational arm. It guides
monetary policy. When it wants to print money, it lowers the target for the fed funds
rate. Fed funds is what banks are required to hold in reserve each night. If needed, a
bank will borrow fed funds from another bank to meet the requirement.
The interest rate it pays is called the fed funds rate.
When the FOMC lowers the target for the fund funds rate, it allows banks to pay less
for borrowed fed funds. Since they are paying less in interest, they have more money
to lend. A bank would like to lend every dollar it doesn’t have to hold in reserve.
So, as soon as the FOMC lowers the fed funds rate target, banks comply. They then
lower all other interest rates.
That makes capital more affordable, so businesses and investors are more likely to
borrow. If the return on investment is likely to be higher than the interest rate, then
investment will look like a good idea. In this way, high liquidity spurs economic
growth. That’s just like adding money to the money supply. continued
The true purpose of Treasury Bonds...
The Fed’s other tool is open market operations. The Fed buys Treasury's and other
securities from banks and replaces them with credit. All central banks have this
unique ability to create credit out of thin air. That’s just like printing money.
Between December 2008 and October 2014, the Fed launched quantitative
easing. That was a massive expansion of open market operations. The nation's
central bank added $4 trillion to the money supply. It did this by buying
Treasury's from its member banks. It paid them by adding the same amount to
their credit on their books. It had the same impact on the economy as printing 40
billion $100 bills and mailing it to banks to lend.
Can the Federal Reserve UNPRINT Money?
If overdone, expansive monetary policy can lead to create inflation. As cheap
capital chases fewer and fewer solid ventures, then the prices of those assets
increase.
That's true whether the ventures are in houses, gold, barrels of oil or high-tech
companies.
The most commonly-used measure of inflation, the Consumer Price Index,
doesn't record all these price increases. It captures oil prices, but not gold or
stock prices. It measures housing, but uses a statistic that measures rental prices,
not houses for sale. That's why the Fed's actions can easily create asset bubbles
as well as inflation.
People worry about the Fed printing money because they don't understand that
the Fed can "imprint" it just as easily. It uses contraction monetary policy to dry
up liquidity. It has the same effect as taking money out of circulation.
To reduce the amount of capital in the money supply, the Fed raises the fed
funds rate. When that happens, banks have less money to lend.
They've got to pay each other more to keep fed funds in the overnight account to
fulfill the Fed's reserve requirement.
Raising the fed funds rate increases all interest rates. That makes it more
expensive to borrow for business expansion, automobiles and homes. It slows
economic growth, drying up the demand that drives inflation.
The Fed can also reverse the effects of QE. It does this by selling Treasury and
mortgageable securities to its banks. People worry that the banks won't buy
these securities, but they don't have a choice. The Fed simply removes dollars
from the banks' balance sheets and replaces them with these securities.

The Braves of Entrepreneurs
Entrepreneurship has traditionally been defined as the process
of designing, launching and running a new business, which
typically begins as a small business, such as a start-up company,
offering a product, process or service for sale or hire. The people
who create these businesses are called entrepreneurs. It has
been defined as the "capacity and willingness to develop,
organize and manage a business venture along with any of its
risks in order to make a profit".
3 Elements of Successful Business
Operational excellence: Businesses require a general framework to ensure
effective operations and continual improvement. Elements include definitions of
systems and standards such as scope of work; quality plan and measurement;
employee manual; organizational charts; hiring policies; training systems; and so
on. These elements provide structure that can be seen, felt and replicated. In a
successful business everyone at all levels must march along with these standard
operating procedures that define who is doing what, where, and with what. If your
business does not have operational excellence, you’ll have problems with the next
two components.
Customer relations: Customers should be given an idea of, if not a copy of, your
business’s operations framework. Based on this framework, invite customers to
provide feedback. Maintain customer relationships by making yourself and your
staff accessible. Many businesses are doing this through the use of technology,
such as Black Berries. Conduct customer surveys and evaluations, review the results
and follow up with customers to make sure you are meeting the scope of work. In
addition, include your customers’ customers — the building occupants — and make
sure they are aware of your organization’s role.
Financial management: To manage your monetary deposits and withdrawals, you
have got to have a financial management system or you will go broke. Business
owners should always have an awareness of what accounts are profitable and what
accounts are not (and give the latter to competitors). From bidding to budgeting,
you should have a system in place for estimating costs. Systems should consider
labor costs, materials, overhead, profit, taxes, insurance and miscellaneous costs.

What is a BITCOIN?
a type of digital currency in which
encryption techniques are used to
regulate the generation of units of
currency and verify the transfer of
funds, operating independently of a
central bank.

"bitcoin has become a hot commodity among speculators" a unit of bitcoin.
"bitcoins can be used for online transactions between individuals"
digital currency has become the viable alternative. Digital currency is finite. Like
gold, only so much can exist at a time.
This amount is tightly monitored by a digital algorithm. No government can
manipulate it. And this means that all digital currencies exist in a self-maintaining,
secure system.
Citizens from debt-ridden countries have slowly adopted digital currencies. In
Berlin, entire districts rely solely on Bitcoin. It protects them from the fluctuations
of the euro.
And now more than ever, people have been rushing to adopt digital currencies
because of Brexit, which cast a gloom over Europe’s financial future.
This mass adoption has bolstered the value of all digital currencies. And adoption
will continue. Because, outside of being finite, digital currency has multiple benefits
that appeal to consumers.
It is secure. The government can't control it. It belongs to the people.
