Positive Thinking and the End of the World
We are all here for some special reason. Stop being a prisoner of your past. Become the architect of your future. - Robin Sharma
We all need to quit letting our past run our lives. Using our past to make excuses for our failure. Do not let your past own you. You own your past and your current life. People let so many factors control and own their life. There is no reason that not every person should not work towards owning their life. Is this process easy? Hell no. Not at all. Take time to slow down and determine what is life and what is a problem. Life can not be changed. Events happen. Problems can be solved. So start out by deteremining what is life and what is a problem. Each day I try to provide and insperational quote to motivate someone and get them through the day. It is a quote that deals with normal common everyday things. I urge them to not just read the quote but to take it in and absorb it and to try and apply it. If the world as a whole would work to rid itself of negativity the whole world would be a better place. Will this happen? Absolutley not. I am not delusional at all. I know that this will not happen. You walk through the world each day. You come in to contact with so many different people. Stop to think do I want to be the person to ruin this persons day or do I want to be the person that makes this individuals day. So many times we here that the main person commiting these mass shootings have been bullied or put down. You may be the person that steps in and inadvertently stops the individual from commiting the horrific incident. You may be the person that stops an individual from killing themselves. You may be the individual that someone needs to talk to. Sometimes all it takes to help someone is to listen. There are so many people in this world that all they need is someone to make them smile just once for their day to be better. It is proven that people who are happier are healthier. So be happy. Think positive. And Own your life.
In closing let December be the actual end of the world as we know it. Let 2013 be the year we turn everything around and make it the most memorable year. A positive year.

Suicide
Most people view suicide as a cowards way out. Let us face fact though. Someone that has reached that crossroad in their life has a lot going on in their head or they may have nothing going on in their head. They are walking down the road and left leads to a dead end and right leads to life. They choose to take the left. There are signs of suicide.
Have you heard someone say?
- Life isn't worth living
- My family would be better off without me
- Next time I'll take enough pills to do the job right
- Take my (prized collection, valuables) - I don't need this stuff anymore
- I won't be around to deal with that
- You'll be sorry when I'm gone
- I won't be in your way much longer
- I just can't deal with everything -- life's too hard
- Nobody understands me -- nobody feels the way I do
- There's nothing I can do to make it better
- I'd be better off dead
- I feel like there is no way out
- Getting affairs in order (paying off debts, changing a will)
- Giving away articles of either personal or monetary value
- Signs of planning a suicide such as obtaining a weapon or writing a suicide note
Check out www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org or National Suicide Hot line 1-800-273-TALK(8255)
Sexual Assault
This is one crime that is so totally devastating that it destroys the core of the individual assaulted. Someone who can do this to some other person has totally lost control of their life and have no regard for human life or decency. They want to cause someone pain in the worst way possible. They want to totally destroy and individual. An individual that experiences this type of horrific tragedy can go through years and years of pain develop PTSD and honestly lose control of their life and spiral out of control. We as a society should do everything we can to prevent this type of crime from happening. I feel that someone that commits this type of assault is not worthy of life because they have stolen an individuals life. If you know someone who has experienced this type of horrific tragedy please help them to seek help. They may go through a multitude of emotions or actions. They may become very reckless with their life for the fact that their life has been totally destroyed because of the assault. This type isn't limited to strangers. Husbands are doing it to their wives. Friends are doing it to their friends. Relatives to each other. There needs to be more awareness for this. This needs to be stopped there is not excuse for this type of horrific crime and someone that commits it should be treated as a domestic terrorist and receive the worst possible sentence. If you know someone who has gone through this I urge you to check out the following:
www.RAINN.org or Hot line 1-800-656-HOPE
RAINN is a great resource. I encourage you to check out the website and share it with a victim.
Both of these (Suicide, Sexual Assault) Are 100% preventable. Do not turn a blind eye to either of these. These individuals have experienced such a horrific event that they no longer care about their life or want to own their life. There are ways to get them back on the path to owning their life. If you feel that you can not provide them with assistance please get them to a qualified professional who can. The resources I listed are not the only ones out there. Google is a great resource to find the information you need.
I do apologize for the serious topics but they are mountains in the path of someone trying to own their life. We should all work towards owning our life. The individuals that went through these tragedies have had their life ripped away from them. Lets help them get it back. Thank you for reading.

- There are children in this country that are starving. As Americans taking care of Americans this is unacceptable. We need this problem solved and quick.
- There are children in this country being sold into the sex slave. This again is unacceptable for a child's innocence to be taken at such a young age for profit. Slavery was abolished when Lincoln was President
- America needs to take its jobs back. Why are we outsourcing to India or where ever. I am in America. Thing is unemployment rates are still way higher than they need to be. We have people employing illegal immigrants that contribute nothing to the country tax wise. Quit employing these guys and employ to homeless guy, the single parent, the retired Veteran.
Thanks for reading,

10 - 12 August 2012 Days 12 - 14 of My Own 30 Days
I have an opinion on something. Children with cellphones in school. When I say children i mean preteens and up. I think as long as they are not playing on them in school they are a great idea for them to have them. Why? Look at every time there has been a shooting at school the kids have been able to get a hold of mom and dad. If a child is going to stay late or go to a friends house they can call mom and dad. I think children being able to get a hold of and communicate with their parents is a necessity today. With the way people snatch children today and the sick people in the world a child having a cell phone just helps to possibly prevent a major problem in the end.
Children having piercings in school (lip, eye brow, nose, tongue) We live in a world that is accepting piercings more and more. They are no longer a sign of rebellion but a way to express yourselves. Why is it they cant where these at school? they are not distracting nor do they pose a health risk. As long as it doesn't become outrageous leave them alone. People come down on kids so hard today. They are a lot different they are smarter more expressive and just live life to an extent. Tattoos are no longer frowned upon. I think schools need to spring forward to modern times all it is are older people in school administration making rules that they have views on. I really feel like they need a variety of people on the boards that make the rules. That way they are actually fair.
I know it wasn't much today and ill probably elaborate more on these two views later. Just need to get something out there.
Sorry today wasn't great. Ill make up for it tomorrow.

07-08 August 2012 Days 9 & 10 of My Own 30 Days
So today for PT they went for a run in their body armor. I do not have any of my armor so I ran with them without it. My 1Sgt and a MSGT were talking smack and said I should be running around the formation. I was like roger I'll give you 5 laps. I did the 5 laps. Little did I know I was providing the motivation the others needed to finish strong. I had a lot of people come up and thank me for what I did. Yes I was not bound by the body armor but the sprinting wore me down. I didnt give up I pushed myself. I was glad that me doing that pushed them as well. Again its a lot easier for me to motivate others than myself sometimes. I love motivating people. I like helping people see that they can do things. Thats part of why I started this blog. This is new to me so I am sorry that I have not posted one everyday. I will make every effort to finish the 20 days strong and determined. If any of you would like to comment please feel free I know I say it every time I post but I am not recieving any feedback. I get here and there comments so I know its getting read.
I have learned to be mindful of what you say around people. I help people to see the brighter side because I will talk about a crappy day have a smile on my face and let them know how and why it does not bother me. Life is too short to die of worry and stress. Life gets hard. Very hard. Everyone has their own unique situation so yes what I say does not apply to all but I do feel it applies to a majority. If you want me to write about something or just my opinion on something please feel free to let me know. Feel free to ask me questions. I am a nobody. I am Jason Young. My words mean nothing. Will I ever be famous probably not. Do I want to be famous? Not really. What do I want? To be able to touch peoples lives and help them by seeing you can fix problems but not change life. I tweet about beating life into submission. You can not actually hit life. Why because life is an inanimate object. What you can do is beat life into submission is a figurative sense. I urge all of you to try and see the brighter side of things. Why? Because life will be a lot better.
Life is short. Too short to have hate and regrets. If you are feeling hate move on from what you hate so that you are not focusing energy on something ultimately you probably can not change. Do not focus on what you can not chance focus on what you CAN change. It is hard to do this all the time. If you live by that principle then you will not be as angry. I am not a Star Wars nerd but yoda has a quote that puts a lot into perspective.
Fear is the path to the Dark Side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.

I read a quote one time. Its simple but the message is so awesome. If you do not try you will fail 100% of the time. I can not remember who said it. It may actually be a combination of a lot of quotes. But I love it. I try to embrace it. Never settle. Always try. Do not sit there at the end of the day wondering what could have been. Life is too short to have regrets. Live life. Own Life. I have got to talk to and meet some amazing people because I tried. If i would not have taken that first step or had help taking that first step I would have missed out on opportunities. I do not wish to miss any opportunity. I want to live as much life as I can in the time we are borrowing. Our time is not guranteed. Our time is only borrowed. Whether you believe there is an afterlife or you are just commited to the ground, do not have any regrets. Do not lie on your deathbed wishing you could have loved someone more, wishing you would have forgiven and old friend or family member, or wishing you would have tried something but didnt.
DDPYoga: With my schedule the past days I have not been able to work this in. So for two days I have failed to own my life. Ill admit it. I have been a failure the past two days. This is a program that you can make time for. Dallas Page is very motivational. He pushes you through the workouts. He is supportive during the workouts and on TeamDDPYoga.com I urge you to check out DDPYoga.com as well as TeamDDPYoga.com The support and inpiration and motivation are always there. Dont be afraid to reach out and ask for it. Owning your life is hard. Not something that will happen over night. It takes endless work and dedication.
In closing, Like I said Owning your life is hard. It takes endless work and dedication. It takes motivation, inspiration, and dedication. I use others to obtain this. I hope that I will be successful in totally owning my life. Look forward to seeing what tomorrow brings. Please feel free to comment.

Fact one: Guy cheats on wife. Wife is devestated. Yes you will be hurt. Do not focus on the part you can not change. You can not change the fact that it happened. Unfortunately. You will hurt. Do not let the hurt and pain and anger consume you though. Decide what you are going to do. If you are going to forgive them work towards forgiveness and the betterment of the relationship. If is something you can not forget move on to someone who deserves you. I know this is tough to forget. What I am asking you is to not let emotion consume you. Do not let it effect future relationships. Not all people are the same.
Fact two: It feels awesome to help people. I am not saying go out and break yourself financially. I challenge most of you to take and help one person a day for 30 days. You will feel incredible. This can be anything from complimenting the cashier at the gas station to cooking dinner for a sick friend to giving a homeless man a dollar hamburger to talking to an elderly person at retirement home. It is the little things that get people through on a day to day basis. The little things will not take any time away from your day. Help each other. This country and world was founded on people busting ass while neighbors helped each other bust ass. We need to get back to busting ass.
Take a 30 minute walk anywhere in your community and you will come across one person that you can help. Lets get back to our roots. I may only reach one person a day with this. But you know what if i have touched one person. One person that is having a shitty day then I have accomplished something. People do not realize their happy moods rub off on people as well as their negative moods. Be the person people want to be. Be the role model your kids look up to. Be the person people want to be aroung.
In closing We need more of this + and less of this -
Thank you for reading. See you tomorrow.

30July2012 day 1 of My Own 30 Days
Fact 1 about me: I totally hate and despise negativity. I know it is a natural occurrence in life but i feel people should combat it instead of embracing it. Negativity consumes to the point that they harm others and destroy lives. In this day and age people should focus more on owning their life. They shouldn't let drugs, alcohol, or any other addiction consume them. Take ownership of you flaws or problems and do what you have to to move on and solve them.
Day 1 of DDPYoga: I started out slow today refamiliarized myself with the Diamond Dozen. It feels great. I wish I would have kept up with it. This time I am. I am going to use it to own part of my life. I have seen how it helps everyone else and it time for me to let it in and help me. No more excuses. Just doing. Follow my on this Journey.
In closing, I am going to keep the first one short. This starts on a day that is special to me a day that I can begin anew. Today is my birthday. I am 27 years old. I am very excited to see where Owning my Life for the next year will take me. Follow me Im sure hilarity will ensue as well as struggle and and accomplishment. Thank you for reading see ya tomorrow.

A few things....23July2012
Why people choose to embrace negativity is beyond me. Why it is so easy to look at someone and tell them their fuck ups than praise them is beyond me. I want a world where people embrace the good. Not the bad. The praises of professional wrestling go unnoticed. Why because it is easier for the media to sit there and make fun of it than praise it for what it actually does. A few facts:
- Grants more wishes for Make-A-Wish than anyone else.
-Supports the U.S. Soldiers.
-Goes to school and talks bout bullying with BAStar.
-Helps more kids and donates more to charity than a lot of others.
But no the media wants to bash this entertainment every chance it gets. Lindsay Lohan is a wreckless alcoholic and drug addict and the media just embraces it. Why because unfortunately there is money in negativity. Why do we live in a world where people want to hear more negatives on the news than positives. Shit down and actually watch the news it is depressing shit. My friends that know me know I hate and despise negativity. It isnt good for people. It can kill. Negativity can take your life as well as innocent ones.
The tagline of DDPYoga is Own Your Life... I try to live this everyday no matter what life throws at me i try to deflect it and move on. In the end that is all you can do. Do not let any emotion, any event, and person run your life for you. You run your life yourself. Make the workout your own. Make you life your own. NO MORE SETTLING. Do not settle for anything less than what you feel you deserve. Do not let any mountain stand in your way. The only person stopping you is you. I have had so many set backs this year. I try to shake them off and drive on. Do not settle at a position in a company or in a relationship. Strive to make it where you want. Arthur is a prime example. Doctors told him he was done. There was no way he was going to walk without assistance again. He did not settle. He started the steps to owning his life. He needed help at first. DDP helped him literally walk then run in the right direction to OWNING his life. Use this man as inspiration. Use this program as motivation. Use your own determination. OWN YOUR LIFE!
Life is too short to let people, events, emotions run your life. You have to grab life beat it into submission and show it you are gonna live your life. No one can own and control you but you. Again I welcome all comments. All opinions. All I ask is before you post something negative, think about a positive.
Jason
Beginning on my birthday July 30. I will start my OWN 30 days. 30 days of blogs. Stay tuned. hope that i help you.

What is OWNING YOUR LIFE? 05July2012
For example: "I was walking down the street today and life snuck up behind me. I kicked that bitch in the nuts and choked him out. Life is down but im ready for that bitch when he comes back."
In this instance I have taken life and made it an inanimate object. No you cant physically kick life's ass but you can own it. Everyday you should strive to live your own life. Whether you are doing a workout or just doing your job. Own every aspect of life. Yes it is hard to keep this up. You have times when you wanna throw in the tow. Again those of you who follow me on twitter may have seen a post like this:
"Life is pinning me today. Ill be ready for it tomorrow"
Yes I do still have my struggles where the mountain of problems i have burry me. but the next day i get up and conquer the mountain once again. Your life is no one elses but your own. Dont let someone else try to own your life you reach out there and own your life. after all it is your life.
I have not read Positively Page and this may be an exact replica of the book in the event that has happened I do apologize to DDP. This is just what I have gathered from your phrase "Own Your Life"
The phrase holds so much truer to life than just the DDPYoga workout. Like i said i dont think it is an exercise program I think it is a lifestyle. To those of you that read this thank you spread the word.

Fat burner 4-22-12
Tried something new tonight. Did fat burner. I loved it. I'm in the army so push ups get old. But the way fat burner handles them makes u feel great. DDP is so motivating on the DVD. I love how u can choose what position you wanna modify to make it your own. My arms are feeling it right now and I love it. This program is great. I need to sit down and plan out my workouts so that I am not just pulling from my ass. I know I can make it my own but I also need it to make sense. Not sure if any of u guys are actually reading this but ill keep going hoping you guys are. I loved fat burner for the pace. It was great. I look forward to doing my DDPYoga everyday. I got to try some new moved tonight other than the ones I've been doing in Energy. I feel so empowered when I come to the end of the workout and I'm sitting in the YRG Warrior Position. It always feels good to be called a warrior. Until next time guys as DDP would say. You better do this tomorrow. So ill listen and you'll hear bout the outcome.

Energy 4-21-12
Ok lemme start off by saying sorry its taken so long for another post. I haven't given up and I didn't stop bc lack of support. Life just comes as you sometimes and you have to deal. I hope you can forgive me. I started out with energy tonight just to get back in the groove of things. I am loving the way my lower back is feeling right now. I am amped as I was when I first started. I am looking forward to kick starting this up once again. I have been talking to friends about this and I hope I can get them to jump on the DDPYOGA bandwagon. Those of you that follow me on twitter (Jason_Young15) saw that I came up with a new word. This word would be BANGTASTIC. Now with all the DDPYoga Warriors out there I want to see if we can get this to trend on twitter. So the official hashtag will be #BANGTASTIC
Again thanks for all the support and I will follow through more often and not let you down. Until next time make DDPYoga your own and feel the BANG. I hope all of you have BANGTASTIC workouts.

Energy 08Apr2012
Second workout. I'm feeling it. Wish I could say it was easier. I'm getting the moves better yes but the workout still slammed it to me. I have to admit, I love this program. I feel it in my spine right now and I'm loving it. In the morning I will try wake-up as part of my daily routine. I got a lot of messages of support from the guys on Teamddpyoga. Thank you guys. I know I will be able to achieve success with this program. This is not like any workout I've done. When I go to the gym I'm usually ready to leave the moment I get there. My entire body feels incredible right now. 20 minute workout. I feel things from my neck to my feet. Not bad things positive things. I have flashbacks when DDP yells attention. Ok that's just a joke. I'm in the Army. I'd love to learn and own this and teach a class round here. I totally understand why the athletes use it. Stay tuned for my post of tomorrows workout. Thanks for reading and thanks for the support.
