Motivate Me Monday – Everybody loves a good gift, Do you appreciate yours?
Your purpose may not be as hard to find as you may think. In life we can over think things when it comes to relationships, careers and education. We become so afraid of making the wrong decision that we postpone making any decision; leading to a life we’d much rather trade in. There is good news, your purpose could be staring you smack dab in the face.
Has some one ever said you should be a (blank)? You probably just blew them off. Truth is people often see our gifts before we notice them. We become so comfortable in our greatness that we abuse it and brush it off as ordinary. What is it that comes natural to you? What can you do effortlessly, without being hassled? You may like to drive, write, read, cook or sing. Perhaps, you have patience and are amazing at giving directions (I’m horrible at both these things.).These qualities that we often over look can be very stable career paths. Making a career out of something you enjoy will lead to a happy healthier life.
You may feel that your gift is small in comparison to others talents. You can either be a McDonald’s cook or you can cook steaks at the finest restaurants in Paris. You could sell used cars or sell the finest foreign cars to high end clientele. You could be a barber at the neighborhood salon or you could be the president’s personal barber. Our gifts are not little; it’s our ability to dream big that makes them appear to be small.
There are people that would love to know what you know and do what you do but that’s not their gift. We can’t look around at everyone else thinking he’s smart, she’s tall, he’s handsome and admiring the gifts of others, while belittling our own.
I’m sure someone is looking at you right now saying “I wish I had what they have.”
Don’t ignore your gift!

Don’t simply wish and admire the stars, live among them.
Rather you’re a corporate executive, intern, student, struggling entertainer or artist; your dreams are your fuel to succeed. Society places a high value on those seen on TV but not all of us want the fame but we certainly would like the wealth. A great way to begin your journey to dreamland is to surround yourself with success. Not people that talk about success but individuals that live success. It’s all about the actions! There are amazing people in your community, organizations, workplace even your family. Many of us have affluent family but we fear rejection or them thinking we want something. Approach as a secret admirer that only wants to learn from them nothing more. Believe me, they’ll flattered. Learn from these people. You don’t have to speak with them regularly but studying their successes and mistakes will make you a much better contender in your field of interest.
Study them as neighborhood boys study the man with that Bentley. They analyze their actions, words and personality; those boys soon begin imitating what they see. This can be done in any field but its best when used for a respectable career that creates wealth and progression in neighborhoods.
Tip: This weekend find an affluent friend exchange number or just emails and begin mental wealth building.

Are Your Kids Watching Too Much TV: Media Consumption May Hamper Academic Achievement.
July 14, 2011
By Nadra Kareem Nittle
Special to the NNPA from America’s Wire
LOS ANGELES — Krystal Murphy received her first cellphone at age 13, and she used it solely to keep her parents in the loop about her activities. Four years later, her use of the phone has changed dramatically. Now 17, she relies on it to text friends, surf the Internet and send messages on Twitter.
“I’m on my cell all day, every day, as soon as I wake up and until I go to bed,” says the African American teen from South Los Angeles.
According to a Northwestern University study of youth media consumption, Krystal’s habits are widespread among young people of color. Released in June, “Children, Media and Race: Media Use Among White, Black, Hispanic, and Asian American Children” found that those between ages 8 and 18 use cellphones, television, computers and other electronic devices to consume an average of 13 hours of media content daily. That’s 4-1/2 hours more than their White counterparts.
The study has renewed debate about whether minority youths spend too much time on media consumption and not enough on reading and studying. While some people insist that the disparity in media consumption contributes to the education gap between minority and White youths, others cite it as a positive that can aid a child’s educational growth.
“I think that the results of this study coupled with the other factors that we know influence student performance,” says Sharon Lewis, research director for the Council of the Great City Schools, an advocate for urban public schools and students. “When you combine all of this together, it’s another indication that we need to take extra steps to reach [minority] youth.
“Factors such as health, such as preschool experience, such as a sibling that may not have graduated, such as coming from a single-parent household and then you add this [media consumption] to it—it’s another indication.”
Past reports have shown a correlation between television viewing and low academic performance. A 20-year study of 678 families released in 2007 by the New York State Psychiatric Institute found that teens who watched three or more hours of television daily had an 82 percent greater chance of not graduating from high school when compared with those who watched less than an hour. However, critics of that study say students who struggle academically may be more inclined to watch TV to avoid the rigors of schoolwork.
The Northwestern study is said to be the first in the United States to examine children’s media use by race. Nearly 1,900 youths participated. The study reanalyzed data from previous Kaiser Family Foundation studies on media consumption, finding that racial differences in children’s media use remained static when accounting for socioeconomic status or whether youths came from single- or two-parent homes.
The results, which appeared to counter concerns about a possible digital divide and may give parents and educators new strategies to meet needs of minority youths, surprised Ellen Wartella, head of Northwestern’s Center on Media and Human Development. She co-authored the study.
“Recreational media use is an enormous part of young people’s lives, more than we ever thought,” she says. “It’s quite clear we have a group of young people who are tethered to their technology.”
The report finds that Black and Latino youths spend one to two more hours daily watching TV and videos, an hour more listening to music, up to 90 minutes more on computers and 90 minutes on cellphones, and 30 to 40 minutes more playing video games than White youths. During the past decade, Black youths have doubled their daily media use, and Latino youths have quadrupled theirs, according to Wartella.
Asian American youths also consume more media than their White peers. Asians lead all groups in use of mobile devices at 3 hours and 7 minutes daily, compared with 2 hours and 53 minutes for Latinos, 2 hours and 52 minutes for Blacks and just 80 minutes for Whites. Asians also spend 14 more minutes daily watching traditional TV than do White youths and more than an hour daily than Whites watching TV online, via TiVo or on DVD. Nevertheless, Asian American youths remain high academic achievers, challenging the contention that media consumption hurts student performance.
