How to Become More Mindful In 2019
You can be the master of your home, all it takes is some money and a vacuum cleaner. You can also be a master of your job if you work hard and are promoted to a managerial position. You can master a game by practicing enough. But how do you master your own mind? It takes years of discipline and training to even understand what that means, and if you want to get started, weve got the Master Your Mind Bundle -- three classes that will give you the push you need to take those crucial first steps.
You can be the master of your home, all it takes is some money and a vacuum cleaner. You can also be a master of your job if you work hard and are promoted to a managerial position. You can master a game by practicing enough. But how do you master your own mind? It takes years of discipline and training to even understand what that means, and if you want to get started, we’ve got the Master Your Mind Bundle -- three classes that will give you the push you need to take those crucial first steps.
The first class is CBT: Cognitive Behavior Therapy, the Human Mind Owner’s Manual. Cognitive Behavior Therapy is like house-training your brain, breaking unhealthy old habits and replacing them with better, more efficient, more peaceful thought processes that will keep you happier, relaxed, and more productive -- the triple threat of mental health and intellectual wealth.
The second class is Learn Psychology: Why We Think & Feel The Way We Do. This one’s less about practically changing your brain, and more about understanding the thought processes all humans share. A big part of peace of mind is, after all, understanding the other people in our lives (or understanding that we’ll never understand them). This foundational knowledge of psychology will give you a clinical understanding of your own brain and help you build your knowledge far into the future because this kind of knowledge isn’t just useful in a self-help setting, it can make you a better manager, friend, and even family member.
The third and final class is Emotional Intelligence: Master Anxiety, Fear and Emotions. These are the three chaotic parts of the human experience that will throw you off your tracks if you let them, and understanding how to control them (or not control them, depending on the situation). Once you’ve taken anxiety and fear and learned how to let them live in your life in a healthy and stable way, there’s nothing anyone can ever do to bring you down, because you’re unstoppable. You will have no psychological weaknesses whatsoever.
Altogether, these classes amount to just over 18 hours of content and a hefty $480 dollar value. But right now we’re happy to offer you the entire Master Your Mind Bundle for just $24.99 -- that’s 94% off.
So stop procrastinating, stop letting anxiety control you, and make 2019 the year you stopped worrying so much, and finally realized your potential.

Military Dad Defends His 4 Little Daughters When Strangers Make This Rude Remark
Military Dad of 4 Daughters Defends His Girls When Strangers Make This Rude Remark
Austin von Letkemann is the military officer strangers feel "sorry" for — and the reason is infuriating.
Whenever the devoted father leaves the house with his four children, strangers can't help but notice the officer in uniform is holding hands with 4 adorable little girls. They will tell the traditionally "masculine" and "all American" dad they feel sorry for him, because he has no sons. This dad makes one thing very clear: They are his daughters, they aren't a burden.
In a passionate video, von Letkemann took to Instagram to share with his followers that the only thing that's "difficult" about being a girl dad — is clapping back to these sexist remarks over and over again.
They Mock His Daughters To Their Face
When strangers approach Austin von Letkemann and his four daughters, they don't always realize that their comments are being overheard. They seem oblivious to the fact that his girls understand every word. Von Letkemann describes how people will approach him and, without thinking, make remarks like "I'm sorry" or even joke about his lack of sons. What they don't realize is that these comments, intended to be light-hearted or humorous, can be deeply hurtful to his daughters. These strangers are not just disrespecting von Letkemann's choices as a father; they're also sending a message to his daughters that their presence is something to be pitied. It’s a message that von Letkemann won't stand for, and he's speaking out to defend his girls from these insensitive remarksSaying "Get Your Shotgun" Isn't Funny — It's Sexist
Another common comment that Austin von Letkemann encounters is the old "better get your shotgun ready" trope, often delivered with a smirk or a wink. This line is typically intended to suggest that a father with daughters should be on high alert to protect them from potential "suitors," implying that they are objects to be guarded rather than individuals with agency.
Von Letkemann finds this line of thinking outdated and sexist. In his viral Instagram video, he points out that these jokes are not just stale — they're damaging.
By suggesting that his daughters require armed protection, the joke reinforces the idea that women are inherently vulnerable and need to be shielded from men. Von Letkemann argues that instead of promoting this narrative, society should focus on teaching respect and consent, challenging these sexist tropes at their source.

"If I Had A Fifth Child, I'd HOPE It Was A Girl" — One Dad's Message For Other Parents
Despite the constant remarks about his lack of sons, Austin von Letkemann is clear: He wouldn't trade his daughters for anything.
In fact, he told his Instagram followers that if he were to have a fifth child, he would hope for another girl. This declaration isn't just about doubling down on his pride in his family — it's a pointed response to those who see fathering daughters as a misfortune.
Von Letkemann's stance is a powerful one, rejecting the notion that a family is incomplete without sons. He encourages others to question the assumptions behind these comments and to appreciate the joy and fulfillment that his daughters bring. By sharing his story, von Letkemann hopes to create a more inclusive perspective on fatherhood, one that values daughters just as much as sons.
