542. Using Failure to Further Your Future By Chris Widener
     "You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it." Margaret ThatcherFailure. Even the word sounds bad, doesn't it? That is because since the time we were just young children we were taught that failure was bad. But is that true? Is failure bad? Let's consider some things.I like a baseball analogy. Do you know what the record is for a season batting average (That means how many times the batter successfully hit to get on base)? It is a …



543. Commitment To The Journey By Gayle Santana
     I have been a business owner for about a minute. In fact, that would probably be quite generous if you compared me to the business moguls out here or anywhere for that matter. But in spite of that fact, I probably know a lot about business, more than I realize and much more than you would expect, if you knew my background. It is my life as a business owner that has finally made sense of all the data and observations that I have gathered over…



544. Basic Buddhism - Doing What is Right By Stuart Malkin
     I find of particular interest in the Eastern Religions many threads that survive in other, later, belief systems. Not only do they survive in textual fact, but they seem to be super relevant to New Age and reformed movements. I speak especially of Right Action, Positive Thought, Positive Action, seeing only Good in all things and all people and believing in a Oneness.And I think that a reason for the solid base of affinity to Eastern beliefs i…



545. Something About Nothing By Roy Klienwachter
     Buddhists study nothing because they have found that you must know nothing before you can know or create anything.I have devoted most of my time over the last five years in the study of the principals of manifesting. Thoughts are manifested into physical being with no conscious effort on your part. It is automatic, and at some level a thought is always manifested physically in time and space.The steps to creation are very simplistic; they are t…



546. Iron Man Inspiration - Raise The Ceiling On What You Can Achieve By John Watson
     The Florida Iron Man involves swimming 2.4 miles, biking 112 miles and running 26.2 miles. It is one of the toughest sporting competitions in the world.Many people, including me, have trouble swimming half a mile let alone 2.4 miles. Cycling 112 miles might involve the equivalent of cycling flat out on an exercise bike for 6 hours. I have trouble even making a start on my exercise bike!Running 26.2 miles is not easy as many young and healthy p…



547. The Seasons of Life, Part 2 of 5 By Jim Rohn
     Last week we started a five part series on The Seasons of Life. At that time I stated that I believe there are overriding principles that we should follow and be led by. That life is about constant, predictable patterns of change. And that as we approach the future; for all of us, the only constant factor will be our feelings and attitudes toward life.Secondly, we as human beings have the power of attitude and that attitude determines choic…



548. For Inspiration Watch a Kite Fly Against the Wind By Bryan Golden
     Given a steady wind and a properly balanced kite, the kite will soar to great heights. But if the nose of the kite is pointed downward, the same wind will send it crashing into the ground.Just as wind can either lift a kite or destroy it, criticism can either motivate you to reach lofty goals or dissipate your drive. Those who criticize far outnumber those who achieve. Yet no statue was ever erected to a critic. Rather than seeking to appea…



549. If You Were an Angel... What Would You Do? By Sharae Taylor
     If you were an Angel what could you do to make a difference? What would you do? To some this is an overwhelming question. The first thought that would go through many minds is " What I do wouldn't make much of a difference ... I am only one person." Get past that! Remember ... the question is if you were an Angel. Angels can be everywhere, be all and do all as they are messengers of God.With that in mind ... now answer the question. What would …



550. Discernment and Judgement By Mary Kay Buttery
     Discernment is an inner guide or compass. It is loving and expansive, and offers freedom, honor and options. Judgment on the other hand dishonors, condemns, and contradicts.Judgment is all about others. It always sets up a polarity or emotional value of this is good and this is bad. An example of this is: A person looks at a brown car and decides brown cars are boring and ugly.Being judgmental forms a vicious cycle. The very nature of judgment…



551. Don't Ask Your Doctor By Maya Talisman Frost
     Perhaps I should ask my doctor if there is a drug to take to combat frustration from seeing so many drug ads. You know the ones I'm talking about. They always start out with a list of questions. Then they tell you that a new drug might be just the thing for you--all you have to do is ask your doctor.Here's my tongue-in-cheek riff on those ubiquitous ads.*************************Have you ever felt you had too little time for your many interest…



552. Meatballs: Friend, or Foe? By Darlene Arechederra
     We all have those moments, don't we? We're right in the middle of a project, and it's simply not going well.Like me, you may find yourself becoming irritated, wishing you could find an easier way to get the job done (or even eliminate it completely.)I'd settle for a tool that would make quick work of it. Life is just too precious to spend time being irritated.I found myself in this position a few weeks ago while making meatballs.Not-So-Nice Thi…



553. Universal Thought Systems Language Part 2 By Roger Paradis
     Before we are able to use the Universal Thought System in a positive expansive manner, we must learn to use certain words in our language more effectively. The prime characteristic of the Universal Thought System is its consistency. It may not be used to manipulate. It may not be used to gain an advantage. It treats everyone equally. It eliminates the negative side of opposites. Why is this Universal Language so critical to our progress? In …



554. What an Artist Experiences When Working With the Angels By Sharae Taylor
     I am an Angel artist on a passionate spiritual journey and I would like to share my story of what it is like to work with the Angels. It is a unique experience and very real.In 1993, I gave over my talent to the Divine to paint Angels. Having a decorative painting business and feeling led to paint Angels I gave that up. One step led to another and so began the journey..."I Shall Paint Angels"I would like to share with you how the Angel painting…



555. Lessons We Can Learn from Jonah and the Whale By Deanna Mascle
     Our church has charged all parents of young children to read a Bible story each day to our children so reading from my son Noah's children's Bible has become a part of our regular bedtime routine. Sometimes I try to hit stories that relate to the current holiday in the Christian calendar and other times we simply pick stories that look interesting to him (there are pictures to help with the choice). There are also stories that he considers to b…



556. Play It Forward --Living A Life You've Always Wanted! By Greg Ryan
     What would your life be like if you lived each event backwards? If you knew what was coming in your life next how would you react?John Eldredge writes in his book Waking the Dead, "God what do you have for my heart today?" He continues by saying, "you may be stunned by what he guides you into. I began the day at six in the morning asking God, "What do you have for my heart today Lord." I had a few minutes to spare this morning (very unusual) s…



557. Walking on a Path of Life By Michael Levy
     We set out walking along a route where one foot walks on a sidewalk that is slowly accenting to higher levels, whilst the other foot walks on the road. We will get to a point where we have to make a choice. Do we raise ourselves up onto the side walk and continue to ascend, or do we keep both feet on the road, on the lower level?If we stay on the road, we will keep in the gutter and when it rains heavily, we may get washed away. We also risk be…



558. Exceptions To The Rule By Wayne Mitchell
     Yesterday I turned 48, and she just turned 21. Uh-oh, I can hear the gears turning in your heads already.She will graduate from university in England in June with a degree in psychology, and we have discussed her coming to live here with me in the States. So far she's come once, for a week, against her parents' better judgment. That's another story. I've been to see her twice, a week each time.We are unbelievably content when we are togethe…



559. What Legacy Are We Leaving Our Children? By Willie Jones
     Children can seem exhausting, annoying, wonderful, loud and funny all at the same time. They are a lot of work especially in the beginning years but what we need to realize is that they are our future so what we do with them in the early to teen years is important because they will become the leaders while we behold the golden years. How we raise them now affects how our future is in our later years and in theirs. When you see how our current…



560. Why Should We Keep Our Thoughts Clear? By Michael Blitchtein
     From my experience some healings come instantly or during short period of time as others require patience, persistence and firmness of our faith. Even though faith in God or Good helps to overcome our worldly trials but often because of lack of the divine knowledge we are not able to see the end of our sufferings. When human will is added to that faith we, pressing strongly our teeth, think that we stand firmly on the ground and fulfill God’s w…
