1st, none of this posting is derogatory. my greatness, i taught you all of the above & you tell me i'm not aware of the human mind! you are focused on defeat. listen to yourself: "unlikely....do those things..... if miserable"! that is proclaiming defeat & an unwillingness to initiate self help. do you think i am joking how i helped myself & cured many problems? i started my landscape business with a partially broken Craftsman 18" mower. no help from anyone, including no help with money from anyone. & you admit self deception which means you are refusing to believe there is help. a realist Christian? holy heavens, you are the opposite! what is real, a person helping him or herself, becoming productive & a success or someone with an attitude like yours? if you are praying & asking & not receiving it sounds like you are praying in doubt. it is impossible for a Christian to ask & not receive. someone may ask Jesus for something & not receive because the asking was not in the name of Jesus, ( John 14:13,14 ). you seem to have a large supply of negativity, defeat & lack of ambition. why don't you think you have to have licenses, permits & certificates in the u.s.a.? i have a Certificate of Authority to collect sale tax, a DBA, permit to apply fertilizer, all proper truckers licenses & insurances. you are definitely missing out on some important elements of success. i apologize if i'm to direct & extreme. i really do apologize. my very strict regiment has given me great success. this next part, i'm not telling you to brag, but: my wife & i are going on a 2 week cruise this winter to the Caribbean & it's of the higher level. we also dine at gourmet restaurants & those dinners can be $500 to $600! here in the u.s.a., a lack of ambition is rampant. been that way for decades because the government gives away too much too often. they don't observe 2nd Timothy 3:10. well, i sincerely hope you enjoy a merry Christmas!
Its nice it worked out for you. I get your point. But in regards to the human mind, I have already tried journalling, self-help books, task setting, daily card lists, and computer modelling, basic web-design/basic programming, game design, electical/electronic engineering, motor vehicle, medical electronics, welding, and more. I have a bad ankle so i cannot dig or carry whilst moving heavy weight/action etc. So your role is not suitable for me neither is labouring.

Certificates meaning, I cannot do electrical as it requires a fulfilled apprenticeship, same with motors etc. It is not allowed to run a business at home unless it is silent and clean so no welding etc. And all require experience before hiring, only college courses are not enough. This is the pattern in the uk. Train first, hope for an apprenticeship, if not, wasted time.

And no prayers are not always delivered because we do not know the will of God. So if I pray for a job or money or direction, and God wants me to wait and not have an answer for some God known only reason, I get nothing and wait / have no delivery. It is so slow im getting old and tired to even bother praying due to no results. If I recieve nothing, it seems better to not pray for myself anymore and only others. Im obviously not good enough to have / do / be / give / help with anything. Maybe too addicted to the world and supposed to be poor like a monk who knows. No one is telling me. Not to be mean, but I do not celebrate pagan festivals. But I appreciate the sentiment.

Usually we just let unwanted threads sink into obscurity.

But I can ask the moderator to delete it if you want.
