Each of us has our own perspective: a different vantage point and a unique perception and interpretation. There are things we can see that others cannot – and there are things that others can see, often quite clearly, that we cannot.

“Each day when I awake I know I have one more day to make a difference in someone’s life”

Wanting one’s life to matter and make a positive difference (recognized and appreciated by others) is probably among most people’s deepest desires.

Are you sending out to GIVE or to GET?

What we are thinking about and how it makes us feel is what we get back. You can focus on what you don’t want or focus on what you do want. It’s the feelings that create the energy we send out. Reality is nothing more than the result of how we have been flowing our energy. We do not have to face-up or put up with anything. All we have to do is learn to flow our energy differently.

You’ve probably heard that “everything is energy” and that “where attention goes, energy flows”, but you may not be aware of just how important different (pulsating) electromagnetic frequencies are to life. Much of that energy is flowing through space (directly and as a result of reflection, refraction, or diffraction) in electromagnetic waves.

Broadcasting originally referred to planting seeds. If we are not careful about what we allow to take root, we may later have difficulty ridding ourselves of it.

Our health, wealth, and happiness are the result of our habits. The word “habit” originally meant an article of clothing and we still use it that way when referring to a nun’s costume or the attire worn while riding horses.

Like our clothing, our habits tend to identify, express and cover every aspect of our lives.

You have probably heard more than once that “everything is energy”.  Yet not all energy is the same.  This is a good thing, given all the “negative” talk about a supposed “energy crisis”.

When you squeeze, stress, or apply pressure to something (or someone), you often find out what’s inside: the “juice within”. Sometimes, what you get is what you expect; sometimes, it’s a surprise. The only way to know for sure what something (or someone) is made of – without taking them apart – is to apply a little pressure and see what kind of response you get. I don’t mean pushing people’s buttons for no reason, but no one really knows what they can, or cannot, handle (or how) until put in the situation. Despite what they may think, few people really know how they will react or what they are (or are not) capable of until “put to the test” – when and where it counts (the most).

Insanity is often defined as doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results – and yet success often depends on doing something (well) long enough for desirable results to manifest. Insanity or just patience? Perhaps some of both is needed for “success”.

Consider the source less important than the truth, importance, and/or relevance of what is shared. Far too often people pay more attention to the messenger than the message or how something is said rather than what is (or is not) said – with social “status” and style seeming to matter more than substance.

Credibility and trust are often extended or withheld upon irrelevant criteria.

There is a lot of talk today about “deficits” (and what is perceived and proclaimed as “lacking”, or “not enough”, in some way). Most people are aware of a growing “budget deficit” and increasing “attention deficit”. But, is there really a deficit (problem) at all – or just a difficulty in our default definition, distribution, and allocation of assets and resources?

Like love and lost items, people often seem to look for “intelligence” in the “wrong” places. “Intelligence” is also sometimes sought and/or used for the “wrong” reasons. There seems to be quite a bit of confusion about what signals intelligence.

Evolution is inevitable – but to evolve often involves some discomfort.

Comfort Zones are often not all that “comfortable”. A better term might be Familiar Zones. What is familiar is like home. Home is where people usually like to go and return to – especially when they are tired and/or just want to relax and be less “conscious” for a while. What we consider home is in many ways just a habit.

Shant, shanti, shanti… Sanskrit for peace… Sometimes repeated as a mantra during meditation. La paz (Spanish for peace) that refreshes – with each pause to breath and reflect.

It has been said that prayer is talking to God – and meditation is “listening” (to the reply). What is it that many people seem to lack, wish for, and seek? Peace! – especially of mind. This blog is a piece of mine.

Are you a “Believer”? You might be – and not know it!

I have NOT (yet) seen the new movie called The Book of Eli, so I cannot comment on the plot, acting, or actual “message” or “meaning” of the film’s “content” – but I thought it quite interesting how the film is being “marketed” to the “masses”.

Today, like all others, is the start of a new year. When beginning anything, the idea is usually also to be gaining something. Initiative can be good – but is better when it also includes finishitive. It’s very seldom enough to just initiate; we usually must also “integrate”

Despite common claims to the contrary, “content” is NOT king, queen, or even a royal pain.

For things to change, first we must change – the value perceived.

Ironically, the more some things change, the more they may seem the same.

There’s no “U” in “TEAM“. There is also no “I“. But there is an “I” inside of “WIN“ (Where It’s Needed).

Although we are all different, and each unique, sacred, and holy (as a result), nobody starts out as an “original”. Neither does anything else – including ideas.
