Worry Yourself to a Perfect Outcome
Do you know you could be consciously worrying yourself into bankruptcy? Or ill health? Or an unhappy family life? Or even worse? 18th Century British statesman, Charles James Fox, was notorious for his support of the French Revolution (that is, until it became clear that Napoleon was planning to invade Britain), his passion for gambling, his dissolute lifestyle – and his sharp wit.

Are You Orbitting a Human Black Hole?
A Black Hole is a region in Deep Space created when a Sun dies. Nothing can escape a Black Hole’s gravity – not even light! It is the ultimate negativity in the physical universe. Any sun is essentially a gargantuan nuclear power plant, fueled by its own atomic matter, in a never-ending chain reaction of nuclear explosions of inconceivable force. But even a sun’s fuel is limited.

Empty Promises
Every four years or so, voting fever builds up to a crescendo in most democratic countries. All the different political parties frantically brush the cobwebs and dust off their stock of usual campaign promises (still unused from previous elections) and recycle them to try, yet again, to charm (or con) the voters into voting for them this time around. Two friends one an ardent socialist, the other a committed capitalist were arguing. “So,” challenged the capitalist, “if you had two houses, as a true socialist you should give me one, right? Would you?” “Of course!”r

Affirmation From a Simple Ball of Wool
A newspaper advice column recently featured an interesting letter from a parent. It said: “We have a sixteen-year-old daughter who does not drink, smoke, use drugs, or stay out late. She isn’t pregnant and she is a straight-A student. Please tell us – where did we go right?” Teenagers today are all trying to discover who they are. A teenage boy spent two years trying to find himself. One day he got a haircut, and there he was!

Unseen Friends?
Kim Bassinger, the well-known movie actress, once said – “I feel there are two people inside me – me and my intuition. If I go against her, she'll screw me every time, and if I follow her, we get along quite nicely." There are countless well-documented cases throughout history of people who have had their lives changed – or even saved – by listening to and responding to their “intuition”, “inner voice”, “sixth sense”, “inspiration”, or whatever other name we may call it.

Life Often Works In Mysterious but Wonderful Ways
Here is an inspiring story I recently heard that I thought well worth telling here in my own words: His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to eke out a living for his family from the hard earth, he heard a loud cry for help coming from a nearby swamp. He immediately dropped his tools and ran to the swamp. There, mired to his waist in the black bog and sinking fast, was a terrified young boy, screaming for help, while kicking and struggling in vain to free himself.

Life Is Filled With Opportunity
Opportunity only knocks once, right? Wrong! What sheer nonsense! Opportunity knocks hundreds, perhaps even thousands of times in a lifetime. We just have to be aware enough, and “tuned in” enough to recognize what Opportunity is offering us each time it knocks. Patrick, a deeply religious man, was watching TV in his lounge when it began to rain. As he listened to the sound of the rain on the roof of his house, it grew louder and louder, until it became a thundering, deafening roar with wind howling outside.

Your Reality Is YOUR Responsibility
A well-known fast foods chain aired a TV advert recently that shows a pottery wheel with a beautifully shaped clay pot perched on it, spinning and spinning around, with the potter nowhere in sight. As the wheel continues to spin, the clay begins to distort, losing its shape, until it suddenly goes flying off the wheel and lands on the floor in a shapeless lump of clay. The first time I saw the advert, I was struck by how elegantly it compares with the way so many of us live our lives. (A compariso I’m quite sure the fast foods chain is totally oblivious of.)
