I we all believed and acted this way the world would be a much happier and safer place. “I don’t care what you earn, where you live, what you drive, whether you’re gay or straight, fat or thin, tall or short, beautiful or average, rich or poor, smart or not, sick or healthy.

Mark Twain is always good reading and good for motivating quotes. This one means a lot to me. “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” When you read it, see yourself doing what he says, throwing off the lines that are holding you back,…
In our society there is entirely too much finger pointing and not enough who take responsibility for their actions. As Eleanor Roosevelt said, “Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes responsibility. For the person who is unwilling to grow up, the person who does not want to carry is own weight, this is a frightening prospect.” Politicians, CEOs, your boss, your spouse, your kids and maybe even you, must take responsibility to have a civil…
Why is our U.S. government in financial trouble. Basically, my opinion, is that it’s too complicated, too many departments, and rules and regulations.

When you create something that comes from deep inside your Spirit it has more pleasure and meaning to you and others. At the same time it builds your Character. Something lacking in society today. “When you create instead…
Today, our world is filled with problems that seem to never “get fixed”. They go on and on. Why is that? Are we not smart enough? Maybe we don’t care about helping others with devastating problems. What do we usually do? We throw money at the problem. Does that solve the problem? No, because some of the money never gets to the actual problem. Greed often stands in the way. Instead of throwing money at the problem how about showing…
With all the hate and anger that are going on in our lives today, next door, in our city, in our state and country and the whole world, and all the pain and negative events and injustices put upon us, NOW is the time for each of us to stand our ground and have COURAGE. To speak up for our values and what we stand for and also sit down and truly listen to each other, for listening…
I received this in an email this morning. Complaining, whinning, griping are so easy to do, and often it’s our first reaction to a bump in our road.

Here’s what the Secret says: From The Secret Daily Teachings If you are complaining about things in your life, you are on the complaining frequency, and you are not in…
