The Power of Your Battle
“When you fight something, you’re tied to it forever.
As long as you’re fighting it, you’re giving it power.”
Anthony de Mello
What are you waging war against?
What struggle, issue, battle or injustice are you dragging around with you…
day after day…
month after month…
and, for some,
decade after decade?
Some are very busy with what went wrong…
what didn’t happen (and should [...]

“Little by little, one travels far.”
J.R.R. Tolkien
She said that she didn’t feel like she was making progress. She swore that nothing had changed, and she had been doing nothing…
not one single thing to make her life more of what she wanted.
As we were talking she started naming what had changed in the past year,
and we [...]
Living all of you…
“While we have the gift of life,
it seems to me the only tragedy is to allow part of us to die—
whether it is our spirit,
our creativity,
or our glorious uniqueness.”
Gilda Radner
Life continuously challenges us to make choices,
and still find a sense of balance.
Sometimes it feels like managing all of the parts of life is a graceful [...]
The Answers
“As long as one keeps searching, the answers come.”
Joan Baez
Sometimes we can be impatient.
We want what we want…now.
We don’t want to work at it.
We don’t want to wait for it.
We want to know the answers.
We want to have the results.
We want every dream to come true…
every day.
While it is important to believe that we [...]

“Your chances of success
are directly proportional
to the degree of pleasure
that you derive from what you do.”
Michael Korda
By all objective standards, he was good at his job.
He was able to fulfill the job description without incident.
He had been a solid, stable employee for the past seven years.
He produced…and completed…and performed…very well.
But, when he talked about his [...]
Go…FASTER!
“The more one hurries, the less time they have.”
The Universe
“If only I had more time…”
“There aren’t enough hours in the day…”
“I wish I could clone myself, because just one of me can’t get it all done!”
At one time or another, many of us have felt like there simply was too much to do, and not [...]
You have had it all along…
“The more you seek security, the less of it you have.
But, the more you seek opportunity,
the more likely it is that you will achieve
the security that you desire.”
Brian Tracy
I was thinking about how so many people are desperately grasping at attempts to secure promises about tomorrow- hoping against hope that if they line it all [...]
Time~
“We must not allow the clock
and the calendar
to blind us to the fact
that each moment of life
is a miracle and a mystery.”
H. G. Wells
Today was the first day of daylight savings.
There is the camp that loves it, because it stays later an hour longer.
There are those that hate it, because the mornings will be darker.
Then, [...]
Money is not it.
“If your only goal is to become rich,
you will never achieve it.”
John D. Rockefeller
Money.
So many believe it will make you happy.
(It doesn’t.)
So many believe that is why people stay in jobs, or leave jobs.
(It isn’t.)
So many think that it will solve/fix/eliminate your problems.
(It won’t.)
So many think money will do it all.
(It can’t.)
Money is necessary to [...]
What?!
“Nothing will work
unless you do.”
Maya Angelou
She was waiting.
She was sure that this year would be better than last year, and so she was waiting to see what happened.
She wanted to “wait and see” if her job would get any better.
She wanted to “wait and see” if her relationship would go to the next level.
She just [...]
