Don’t believe everything you hear…

by | Nov 2, 2008

Why does everybody try to tell me how ‘bad’ things are?

When I ask them to talk about their own life instead of globally – I find things are not as bad as they are making out. In fact, before our conversation is over they are usually surprised at the opportunities available to them in the present circumstances!

I encourage you to look closely for the opportunities available to you right now. There are incredible things happening in the world.

And if you have intimate knowledge of someone who is truly in bad straights (not things you have heard on the news) then do your best to help them the best you can. Their bad times will pass.

As will the news media’s take on the world situation…

 

Massive changes in your life?

by | Oct 28, 2008

I know there are people going through massive changes in their lives with all that is happening around us.

If  you are one of those people, my heart goes out to you. We all are very much attached to our routines, our habits and our way of life, and when these routines are broken – with the pain that often is attached, our lives are thrown into confusion.

May I be so forward to suggest that now might be the time to take drastic action? If your life seems to be careening down a path you do not want to be on and you feel out of control – often the only way to gain control at all is to at least choose the path you will be going.

This is not an easy solution, but it can be an exciting one. If you were able to make a change what would you do?  Is there anything you have dreamed of doing but let it go? Are there places you would live?  Ideas you have to be implemented?

I think the best thing possible when life seems to be carrying you along is to make a conscious effort to wrest back control and do whatever you must do to create you own life.

When you do – you will find an inner strength to help, an inner peace from trying and a great sense of accomplishment for completion.

You can do it!

What happened to accountability?

by | Oct 21, 2008

If you ask my kids I have preached accountability and responsibility as the core values for their lives to come.

If I could only get them to understand the importance of those two values – the rest would naturally follow.

What happened to rest of the world while I was teaching my kids?
