Adamly Advice
A bit of advice on making it through life and how we deal with daily situations.
Hopefully adding new posts biweekly. Take it for what it’s worth but don’t blame me if it doesn’t work out for you.
Adamly Advice #1 – Walk with a purpose. Don’t stroll or saunter, walk towards something as if you have something to get done. Get there and get it done.
Adamly Advice #2 – You will have time to sleep when you are dead!
Don’t waste time, don’t put things off, go out and do it, get it done and relax when you reach the top. Sleep is overrated and most successful people have learned to push even harder at those times of immense tiredness.
Adamly Advice #3 – Long term planning. Look towards the future not just tomorrow. Make a plan, write it down and work towards the goal. Be Proactive not Reactive, plan for the future and make adjustments where needed. Not everything works out to plan, but its better to have a plan than to wander through life without direction.
Adamly Advice #4 – 24 hours in a day. Manage your time wisely, there are only 24 hours in a day, 8 of which we are hopefully sleeping, 1 we are eating, 2 we are driving, so what are you doing with the other 13 hours in the day? Ask yourself this question and see if you are using it wisely. What have you achieved today?
Adamly Advice #5 – Early is on-time, on-time is Late and Late is Fired.
Adamly Advice #6 – You get out what you put in….Are you going above and beyond or doing the bare minimum. Are you doing the bare minimum and expecting results like those who go above and beyond? You want exceptional results? Then you need to be going above and beyond what is expected.
Adamly Advice #7 – Life is short! Be happy for the positives and let the negatives roll off your back. You will be happier and live a longer life.
Adamly Advice #8 – Winners never quit and quitters never win
Adamly Advice #9 – Show up. And if you can’t show up, call someone to let them know you won’t be where you are supposed to be. Its common courtesy to do this.
Adamly Advice #10 – If you wanted an apple, paid for the apple and took a bite of the apple, why wouldn’t you finish eating the apple? Don’t take that bite and then throw it all away, take advantage of what you bought and eat it down to the core. Take things in life for everything you can, don’t sell yourself short.
Adamly Advice #11
Event + Response = Outcome
You can not change an event from happening, so the only way to change the outcome is to change your response. Take a look at how you react and see if that is something you can change. The outcomes may be better.
Adamly Advice #12
Do what you say and say what you mean
Nothing is worse than some who’s word means nothing. If you are going say you are going to do something, then do it. If you say something make sure you mean it. Someone’s word is valuable if it is always delivered on.
Adamly Advice #13
Do not listen when negative people say negative things about you. They don’t know what it takes to live your life or the things you have to do to make ends meet. Be happy with yourself and in the end, you will be happy.
Adamly Advice #14
If you fear the person working for you will take your job, then your real worry should be that you are not doing enough to keep your job.
Adamly Advice #15
Be careful of people who talk behind your back and act nice to you in person. They obviously are more interested in your life then their own.
Adamly Advice #16
Imperfections make us human. Imperfections make us unique. Imperfections make us who we are. Take time to recognize that you are unique and those imperfections are not imperfections at all.
stay tuned for more………..

High Gas prices? no problem
You want an answer to $5 gasoline? How about living near you work. Cut your gas dependency and you will remove the problem of high gas prices.
The Motor City has problems, and the problem is, the people who work downtown, do not live downtown. How many grocery stores are available to residents? How many parks are safe for kids to play in? How many of the schools are boasting strong academic success?
You want to turn things around Detroit, get people to live in your cities and also get them to work there. Doesn’t matter if its $50 gas, it won’t matter, no need to travel and spend the money on gas.
Walkable, livable cities.

Reasons for Mega-Churches
Just as the industrial revolution aided in the spread of religion population growth, the advancements in recent centuries have also compounded that trend. “Today, “Mega-Churches” have up to 15,000 members and specialized facilities are spread around campuses of up to 1,000 acres.” Many factors to why or even how this change occurred can be observed. The first of which can be attributed to the number of religions that are presently followed. Covering all countries in the world it is estimated that there are some 4,300 faith groups. “In addition to Christian churches and Jewish synagogues, there are Muslim mosques, Hindu, Shinto and Buddhist temples and undefined New Age religious groups that meet in homes.” Currently it is estimated that the world population is 6.5 billion, 300 million who live in the United States. In 2002, 88% of people in the United States claimed they were affiliated with some type of religion. The map below shows the major religion per state.
If we only look at the Catholic religion, which is the major religion in most all states, has an estimated 23,000 churches across the United States where its 53 million parishioners worship. If evenly spread for each of the 50 states that would be 460 Catholic churches per state with an average of 2,400 adherents per church. Taking into account the remaining religions, we can deduct that the population of religious adherents could be a factor in the rise of “Mega-Churches”.
This rise can also been due to the willingness of worshippers to drive a distance to a place they feel comfortable. The shear number of potential congregants has multiplied exponentially compared to the walking distance community central church. Choice and competition are now helping make decisions on where to worship. While marketing and tailored programs to attract congregants are now the tools of the modern religion.
Worship has also changed; Religion has modernized its approach to service. Service now is known to include stage lighting, video screens, alternative services and expanded services. Services are now held on almost any day of the week or at least some type of event sponsored by the religious institution.
The paradigm for the liturgy is once again the theatrical event, in which the priest and ministers are the actors.
The church building is now used for more reasons than worship. “Besides its primary role of providing a suitable place for the celebration of the liturgical rites, the church building also offers a place to which individuals may come to pray in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament, and in which groups of the faithful may gather for a rich variety of devotions expressive of the faith life of a give culture, region, or ethnic community.” The program of a typical religious building now consists of a bookstore, child care center, preschool, computer labs, gymnasium and youth ministries, no longer just a space to worship, a table and a chair.
