Chapter 1

Looking Beyond Laughing

LBL. Looking Beyond Laughing or Laughing Beyond Looking is the new symbol now used in the text messaging world as well as DMTM. Don’t Miss the Mark. Actions speak louder than words.  It’s amazing how GOD gives us our eyes to see, and our lips to speak.  Looking through matters and situations and learning from others.  It’s just amazing how we can actually see actions speaking volumes louder than words.  LBL. Pay attention to your surroundings. Looking beyond laughing will show you the very insight of what is taking place around you.

DMTM. Don’t let others send you wolf tickets. Think twice, speak once. If you never heard what a wolf ticket is; it’s when people send you on a false assignment where there is no expected end. 

Chapter 2

Reading is the essence of life

Reading is the very essence of life.  Reading allows you to explore, imagine, adventure things beyond the world of exploration, and beyond the world of meaning. Reading captivates the world around you. It helps you open your mind and receive information to grasp the concept of your world and open new thoughts and new ideas. It takes you to places you’ve never been before. Places you will dream to be. It’s good to read a book because you learn a lot in a book. You can go on an adventure by reading a book, but, DMTM, the library is a Gold Mine with Millions of Books to be read that will stimulate the essence of your mental capacity and where it can go as you retain knowledge. Reading can open up the creativity of your mind.

Speaking of having an open mind. I would like to share with you one of my personal favorite books by a well-known Author, Robert Kiyosaki called, Rich Dad, Poor Dad. In this book he describes the financial mentally that most people have throughout the world. One of the things that I deem most important by memory is his mention of how your words are powerful and changing what you say can impact your life. I hear many people saying things, like, I can’t afford it Robert points out, that instead of saying, you can’t afford it, change your wording, by simply asking yourself, How can I afford it? This has helped me greatly in life. When I ask myself, How can I afford it? Now, I’m investing and looking in to things that can bring me back more money, so that I may be able to afford and enjoy the luxuries that I desire. Changing your wording helps you to change your mindset, and your output on life. But I can’t take all the credit. Hey, I learned it in a book. That goes back to how reading is essential and powerful. Reading is the essence of life. What’s your favorite book?

LBL. DMTM. A lot of people don’t like to read; but it’s been often said that if you don’t want people to know things; just put it in a book.  LBL. Reading stimulates your mental capacity as it relates to your journey in life. Reading is the essence of life.

Chapter 3

Don’t Miss the Mark

DON'T MISS THE MARK

mark

verb

write a word or symbol on (an object), typically for identification.

What are you communicating??? What are others

communicating to you???

I want you to open your mind as you read

this chapter, because I want you to get in to your element, of Looking Beyond Laughing, to not just see what you are communicating to others, but also, what others are communicating to you. So many people miss what is going on around them simply because they’re not in tune with their environment. I know some people hate math and Algebra Y=mx+b (A)square plus (B)square equals (C)square... the distributive and associative properties.... I know you’re ready to stop reading by now, LOL ☺ but geometrically speaking a circle is 360 degrees. The line that goes across the middle is the diameter, and half of the diameter is pie which is 3.14 radius. I have a taste for some pie right now, laaawwwd have mercy with a scoop of ice cream.

I said all of this to simply say, that you have a circumference around you or simply a circle around you where people in their world evolves on a radar to detect all incoming negativity. Be careful of negative people that come in your environment. Negative people can cause you to waste your time, and waste all of your resources, and all of your energy, because you become what despises you when you allow negative people to contaminate your environment. How do you know when negative people are in your space??? They often have nothing good to say... it’s like bad news, follows everywhere they go...and nothing good is never happening for them even when you've tried to encourage them. Don't miss the mark I can't stress it enough. So many people have missed out on blessings, promotions and opportunities, because they simply missed the mark. What do you mean, don't miss the mark??? We as individuals, miss the mark, because we simply don't pay close attention to details and what’s going on around us. My pops told me once that his favorite bird is an Eagle, because eagles fly alone in their own zone above all the other birds. They see further than other birds and people, because they can see miles and miles away. When the woman eagle wants to test a male Eagle as a protector or prospect for a husband or a mate; she grabs a stick from the ground and takes it all the way up into the air and gets his attention and then drops the stick in mid-air. If the Male Eagle doesn’t get the stick before it hits the ground; she then no longer wants anything to do with him. In this example, the female Eagle gets the male Eagles’ attention then drops the stick in mid-air to see the males sacrifice level to help her.

There are so many people in relationships that are blinded by love, kisses and hugs or lust. A wise man told me once: everybody that kisses you don't really mean it, everybody that hugs you and say they love you don't mean it, and everybody that is grinning is not tickled. Sacrifice levels are levels in which a person really loves you or at least care. Yes, actions speak louder than words because; don't be deceived; true love is shown by good deeds, not lip service or someone just telling you, I love you. Many men have missed the mark simply because they’ve allowed their ego to get in the way. A woman can use body expressions to catch a man’s’ attention to let him know that she is interested; but if that man does not get the clue.... he then has missed the mark. LOL So, true, so true. Many people also miss the mark by being self-centered. Self-Centered individuals miss the mark simply because it's all about them and no one else. Being self-centered can be dangerous and contagious. It leaves a bad taste in peoples’ mouth when they leave the building. It's like everyone opening their hands to give and you got that one person in the room that doesn’t want to share or give anything. Open your hand right where you are; if your hand is open you then can receive. Now close your hand; you will then discover that Hey, if my hands are closed; how then can I receive" simply because it is not open. How can you receive if you are selfish, closed hearted, closed minded and simply ungrateful? Self-Centered individuals are blind to their circumference of themselves because they only focus on their self-benefits or their beliefs.

Timing is so important when it comes to not missing the mark.  If you’re not aware of your environment and of time; then you can miss the mark in a major way.  You have to be Neutral and watchful; being able to shift when necessary.  If your timing is off; then you are off.  You have to know what type of time people are on even when you are approaching them for a conversation. You have to know when to stay present in a building and when to shift.  You have to know if an individual is listening or if what you are saying is going in one ear and out of the other.  You
