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 [...]
Living…or just thinking?
“You cannot plough a field
by turning it over
in your mind!”
Anonymous
There is a point to planning, and thinking, and developing a direction in which you will head.
But, for many, they stay there…for too long (and some stay there forever!).
You cannot iron out all the wrinkles from the couch.
You cannot do everything in your head, or on [...]
Credit and Blame…
“Take your life in your own hands and what happens?
A terrible thing: no one to blame.”
Erica Jong
I have had two very interesting exchanges with people recently, both cases were with people that were trying to convince me (which meant that they were trying to convince themselves), that they had no control around something in their [...]
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 [...]
If you love it…
“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 [...]
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, [...]
Powerful beyond measure…
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us…
And as we let our light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates [...]
What if Change IS Security?!
“Security can only be achieved through constant change,
through discarding old ideas
that have outlived their usefulness
and adapting others to current facts.”
William O. Douglas
Live on the edge…
Today, do something that most never have the courage, or the faith, to do.
Take inventory of your life.
What does that mean, and how does one do it?
Simple.
Answer these questions…
What is working [...]
You hold it in your hands…
“The future depends on what we do in the present.”
Mahatma Gandhi
People love to talk about the future, don’t they?
People talk about how amazing it will be…they dream about it, and many live in anxious anticipation of what the future will bring, as if they are waiting for the delivery person to drop some kind of [...]
Is this what you want…?
“Most people are so busy knocking themselves out
trying to do everything they think they should do,
they never get around to do what they want to do.”
Kathleen Winsor
She was so angry.
Initially it didn’t make sense, and it was hard to follow.
Her friend had finished a training program, in an area she loved,
left her job, and opened [...]
