Do you remember way back when you were in elementary school, the big pencils, Big Chief Tablet ®, crayons, with a very strict teacher? When you were caught talking too much or throwing paper and that strict teacher made you write 100 times: “I will not talk in class” or “I will not throw spit ...

Look closely at the title of this article. You’ll notice a question. Before we get into what drives you, let us examine the question. Thoughts…Where do they come from? Think this through and give yourself plenty of time. I firmly believe I have the answer, and that is thoughts come from the ...
Suppose you really want to make major improvements in your life, then a Personal Life Coach is a must. Maybe you need as we say a helping hand to make even minor improvements in your life, then a PLC would be a good person to find. The best kept secret of the world, and successful people are the other people lending a hand in their lives. The rich, and the not so rich will always be by your side working with you, but will hold you accountable to your goals that you have set. More often than not the person who makes the changes will have a tendency to be slack with their achievements.
Each day we wake up with the chance of making today the best day of our life. We have the choice to have a good day. We must use our free will and choose to have that best day of our life. How can we do this each morning as the alarm wakes us from our dreams? About three weeks ago, I woke up and it was raining. No, it wasn't just raining it was a pouring rain. Rain and I don't exactly get along especially after days and days and days of cloudiness and rain. This particular morning was one of those mornings.
If we were to dissect the superficial front of families we would find, strife, jealousy, fear and hatred and no holiday within the family feels like a blessing. Love brought families together. Love that binds the family together is often taken for granted, by the parents and the siblings. When grown adult families come together, then everyone needs to remember that they are adults, and not children. I have posted a saga of two families One family focuses on abundance, gratitude, blessings and love. The other family focuses on power, individual differences, lack, and fear.
Once in a while an event will occur either directly or indirectly in our lives which will cause us to reflect on our humanity. Do we treat each other with a sense of honoring that each person is sacred? If not then we need to do just that. Human life is fragile, and we need to protect that life as best we can. We can do this, and it's not very difficult to do. It requires a bit of decency, a realization that everyone has their own problems, that dignity and integrity should be shown to all people we encounter; no matter what race, creed, social-economic background or sexual orientation.
While at the cash register the woman who was checking me out and I started a conversation about how to reduce stress. I suggested that meditation can reduce stress in our lives. The woman said that she didn’t have time, because she worked two jobs. I said during your break go outside and ...
The ultimate success formula begins with clarity. Now that the New Year is upon us, many of us have made resolutions or have written down what they want to attract for the year. In other words you have determined what you want and desire. The question is why do you want that? What purpose ...
Having perception means that you have the ability to attain understanding and awareness through the senses. Now perception is a mental image an awareness or consciousness of the observation or result. When looking at the definition of perception you hope that everyone perceives the same ...
If you ask a teacher about their wealth they will probably inform you that they aren’t in teaching for the money. They are teaching to enlighten the young people of the day. They want to see society improve, and they truly care about people. However, teachers do not make much money in the ...
In the New Testament of the Holy Bible is the text about our bodies as a temple. "...that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own." 1 Corinthians 6:19. Many have discussed the debate about our physical bodies belong to God ...
A respite or a scheduled time off from work, school or any activity happens to be the official definition of vacation. I ask you how many times do you truly believe when taking a vacation that you totally take off from such activities, and deviate from the normal every day-to-day nose to the ...
Meditation is the art of being still, and centering oneself to communicate with the sacred witness. Many people confuse thinking with the act of meditation. Yes, one gets quiet, and one does hear the thoughts of the mind, but that is not meditation. The mind would really like to control you, ...
Christmas time is a wonderful time of year with shopping, parties, cantatas, children’s programs, numerous Christmas parties, families and much, much more. We love this time of year, and yet some of us loathe this time of year. If we took the time to ponder the reason why people loathe it, then we would find that the answer would probably be the same as most everyone else. That answer is: “I’m way too busy, and there isn’t enough time.” Take a breather, and think about the season in a new way.
Each day I park in my driveway, and wish that I could park my car in the garage. Each day I say to myself, "You need to get rid of this stuff. You don't need it, and you're not using it. Either take it and give it away or sell it at a garage sale. Just do something." Have you ever had those exact thoughts. Maybe you have a storage unit, and you think, "Why do I have a storage unit. I don't need it, and besides that takes money away from me and my family." We Americans are known for our stuff. We like to have the newest gadgets, and keep our mementos from years and years of collecting.
I have a picture on my desk that was given to me by a friend. It is a close-up of a stream in Sedona, Arizona and in it is the rush of the water and a few rocks. Obviously when I look at it, I can almost hear the water and see the white of the stream as it flows downstream. When I get upset or uptight about life, I can look at this picture and know that life is meant to be lived as one. In other words we need to let go and be in the flow and in the moment. We, humans are made to encounter stress, but how we deal with that stress is entirely up to us.
Obtaining your personal best is a goal for each of each day. One would think that most of us would strive to be our personal best. Each day we find people who just settle for status quo, and who seem to care about their own problems. Have you seen those kind of people in and among us? Maybe you're one of them, but the truth is that you can change and find your personal best. To achieve our personal best is to decide to be someone of worth, and each day we put our best foot forward. We have the ability to choose to take each task no matter how mundane the task.
"I don't deserve to earn more money." "Money is the root of all evil." "Rich people are greedy" "Having and earning a lot of money isn't spiritual." "Money is power, and power corrupts." "It's better to give than to receive." "Wanting to have a lot of money is selfish." "There's never enough ...
As I was listening to an audio speech by Chris Weidner I became aware of a problem. Sometimes we feel that we've beat a subject to death. As leaders we feel we've stated the need, the change, the information to everyone and everywhere. Because we've stated the intention over and over again we ...

I was at a restaurant recently, and a young woman was our server, and she had a frown on her face. I said, “How are you today?” She responded short and curt “Fine. What would you like to drink?” She wasn’t into this lets talk and be cordial, for we might have a little more fun in our day. ...
Goals are just that: goals to be achieved in the distance, in the future in the making. Goals are our desires, our wants, and sometimes our needs. They are something intangible, unable to be magically manifested without human powers added to those goals. Our powers can be one tiny thing and ...
