Facing His Fear 18 y
A story about a man who discovers autheticity and responsibility.
Just a Typical Teenage Boy
Facing His Fear
The call was controversial-just as all really close calls in baseball
are. Full speed the runner slid home and thinking he had just scored a
game-altering run, he stood up only to face the words, ”You’re out!”
Now you know how it is when you’ve given your all to an effort and you
stand up, only to hear the ump say, ”You’re out!” Just running for home
when the play could be that close takes confidence and determination,
not to mention a certain amount of competitiveness that doesn’t just
evaporate when you stand up. And it didn’t ... read more Be Specific 18 y
Here is another empowered clarity tip. Ahhhh the rewards of "getting clear."
Be Specific with Your Goals
”Very often people hurry off with an idea that they are going to be
successful, having no specific picture of what success, for them, really
means. History teaches us that successful people were specific about
what they wanted to achieve.
Being specific with what you want to do will give your mind a directive
that will make it work more effectively. Being specific with your
thoughts and actions increases the possibility for you to be more
pro-active. This gives you more power to choose your response to circumstance.
This power to choose leads ... read more Imagery problem Solving 18 y

Sweetening A Sour Fruit
When A Bad Apple Spoils The Bunch
Because life requires that we interact with different
personalities, it is not uncommon for us to encounter a situation where
there is one person whose behavior may negatively impact the
experiences of others. Someone who is loud and crass can interrupt the serenity
of those who come together to practice peace. A disruptive worker can
cause rules to be imposed that affect their colleagues’ professional
lives. A team member who is pessimistic or highly critical may destroy the
morale of their fellow members. And one or m ... read more Pursuit of Happiness 18 y
Happiness can be found in many "little" things.
Passage from...
Days of Healing, Days of Joy by Earnie Larsen & Carol Larsen Hegarty
In the pursuit of happiness many people are too busy to find that which
they seek. Frequently the happiness we so passionately desire is found
in little events that are but whispered. If we don’t pay attention, we
miss them.
There can be happiness in the way light falls through the trees. There
can be happiness in the way our children call for us by name or in the
familiar sight of our home as we round the corner two blocks away.
Happiness weaves its way through precious memories and k ... read more Invest In You 18 y
"The moments that are most
meaningful are the moments into which you invest your effort, your energy and your commitment. "
Invest In You
A significant part of your environment is
the people you spend time with. These
people have a huge impact on you and your
decisions. That is precisely why you
need to be sure you surround yourself
with those who support you and your
ambitions.
Do your best to avoid people who belittle
your enthusiasm, put you down or try to
squash your dreams. Do your best to seek
out those that support your goals and
share your infectious energy.
Surround yourself with positive people.
When you combine that with both positive
energy and attitude, you can’t help but so ... read more And Yet We Strain 18 y
Poem about existence.
And yet, though we strain
-- Rainer Maria Rilke--
And yet, though we strain
against the deadening grip
of daily necessity,
I sense there is this mystery:
All life is being lived.
Who is living it then?
Is it the things themselves,
or something waiting inside them,
like an unplayed melody in a flute?
Is it the winds blowing over the waters?
Is it the branches that signal to each other?
Is it flowers
interweaving their fragrances
or streets, as they wind through time?
~ Rainer Maria Rilke ~

Raising My Sights
By Terri McPherson
My six-year-old granddaughter, Caitlynd, and I stopped at a Tim
Horton’s donut shop for a blueberry muffin. As we were going out the
door, a young teenage boy was coming in.
This young man had no hair on the sides of his head and a tuft of
blue spiked hair on top of it. One of his nostrils was pierced, and
attached to the hoop that ran through the hole was a chain that draped
across his face and attached to a ring he was wearing in his ear. He
held a skateboard under one arm and a basketball under the other.
Caitlynd, who was walking ahea ... read more Affirmations 18 y

What are Affirmations?
One very effective technique used to change energy is by using
affirmations. Affirmations are actually very easy to do. Simply repeat at
least 15-20 times a day, or write out on paper a statement such as *I
deserve a healthy and joyful long term relationship, filled with love
and devotion, and I shall find it very soon.*
You may even want to type your Affirmation out on paper and place
it strategically around the house, where you’ll frequently see it. You
should keep the message going in front of you for the entire period of
time that it takes to attra ... read more Divine Human 18 y
The patterns that we accept as our conscious reality are quite interesting as they weave and connect in a deep spiritual tapestry.

The development of the physical form is activated at conception by
the incarnating soul on the astral plane. As the physical form develops
in the womb, so do the etheric threads, the ”silver cord,” which
connects them and through which the seed atoms travel. The physical seed atom
arrives about the fourth month, the time called the ”quickening,” to
reside in the heart. The physical body, as it is forming in the womb
according to the DNA pattern of its heart seed atom, att ... read more Listening To Spirit 18 y
Interconnectedness equates to service...not in a slave-like manner, but in a spiritual flow manner.
Listening to Spirit
By Judith Costello, editor of Parenting with Spirit ã2000
A young man who is highly successful in his business and in his life,
reports that he starts everyday in contemplation and meditation. He sits
quietly and asks the God/Spirit who resides within him the following
three questions:
1) How can I be of greater service to the world?
2) What do my children and spouse need from me at this time in their
lives?
3) What do I need to do to make my work successful?
Why ask these questions and how do we get clear answers?

Embracing Unpredictability
When Life Throws You A Curve Ball
In life, we are always setting goals for ourselves and working to make
them happen. This gives us focus and ensures that we use our time and
energy efficiently and effectively. It also provides us with a sense of
purpose and direction. We know where we are going and what we want to
do. But quite often, due to forces outside our control, things do not go
as we had planned-the flat tire on the way to the wedding, the
unforeseen flu virus-and we have to adjust to a postponement or create a whole
new set of circumstances. ... read more Detachment 18 y

"Expect to find goodness, beauty, value and opportunity, and you will."
Look closely
The more lovingly you look at life, the more value you will find to
live. The more fully you appreciate what is now, the more positively you
can influence what will be.
Look deeply enough, and you can find the goodness in any situation. The
perspective from which you view the world determines what you will see.
With a positive, thankful, life-affirming perspective you’ll see
opportunities for growth, achievement, fulfillment and joy. With the best of
expectations you’ll enjoy the best of all possible results.
On the surface, today may look just like all the days b ... read more Out Of A Slump 18 y

There are times on our Journey through the huge-ness of life that we
feel lost, unloved, helpless and defeated. What do we do when we find
ourselves in such an unhappy state? Some of us escape into the land of
danger and defeat. We ”get out of ourselves” by drinking too much, or
taking drugs, or feeling sorry for ourselves, or complaining, or whatever
else that stops us from doing what is truly necessary...and that is
