It's Your Choice

By -

The way you think about yourself is your choice. It's your choice to think, "I don't have the right stuff. I am old. I am tired. I am just a number." It is also your choice to think, "I am amazing! I am just getting started. I am better every day! I am unique." In 1908 in his prelude, to "In Tune With The Infinite", Ralph Waldo Trine wrote, "The optimist is right. The pessimist is right. The one differs from the other as the light from the dark. Yet both are right. Each is right from his own particular point of view, and this point of view is the determining factor in the life of each. It determines as to whether it is a life of power or of impotence, of peace or of pain, of success or of failure." It's your choice, to see the light or to see the darkness. Look at yourself with wisdom or with ignorance. It was, is and will always be your choice.

And you're so right! As I always like to say, whether you think you can or whether you think you can't, either way you're right! It's always up to us what sort of day we have. More than any time in history human beings have access to spiritual technologies which can uplift and transform us at any given time. We just to choose to use them. May you always remember this and never thirst.

The Peace Sign

Today I was driving in my jeep with the top down. Wearing my red bandanna and groovy sun glasses, I cruised flying high on an over pass. As I came down the ramp, I felt like I defined freedom. I wanted to throw my hands straight up in the air like I was on a ride at an amusement park, for safety sake, instead I let a primal scream soar up to the blue sky filled with billowing white clouds. The young man in the car behind me roared past me with his moon roof open. He must have felt it too, freedom. He stretched one hand high trough the open roof and gave me the peace sign. Ah, a kindred spirit I thought, smiling bright, I extended my left hand high waving "Peace" to my brother then I laughed uncontrollably. According to Wikipedia,the Peace sign or the "V" sign,or the “victory sign,” is a hand gesture with the index and middle fingers open and all others closed. It was used as a sign for victory during the Second World War by Winston Churchill, originally with palm in...

About a year ago I saw the movie trailer for Happy-go-lucky, a British film.... guess what, it was nominated last night for best screen play. If you can find it in the movie theaters, go see it. I promise you will laugh and come away lighter. Here is the link to the trailer: http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid1454928939/bctid1450952300

The Age of The Sensitive Man

Splashing in the deep end of the adult water fitness class, I couldn't help but notice a man sitting on the side of the pool holding his infant daughter. She was wearing a pink one piece swim suit and a white floppy hat. I doubted that she was even able to walk yet. Her cherub like legs hung down over the edge of the pool and her tiny toes barely touched the surface of the water. The contrast of the man in his prime with guns that rivaled Mr. Florida holding that tiny human was inspiring.   One of the men in my class introduced us to his grandson.   He’s a handsome young man around fifteen.   My British swim mate commented that he was dishy.    He was- dishy but, what was even better was the fact that a fifteen year old would partake in a water fitness class with his seventy-something Granddad.   As touching as the man with his baby girl sitting by the side of the pool, the grandson and grandfather partnering during water exercises was equally as pre...
