    Let me begin by painting a picture for you.

    Imagine that there is an issue or decision that you want to resolve (you may like to actually think of one)...
  • Which Program Do You Live By, Every Day Of Your Life?  By : Emmanuel Segui -
    In the Bible, we are admonished to "Love your neighbor as yourself." I contend we generally love our neighbor far more than we do ourselves because I know very well we would not inflict on our neighbor the handicapping conduct we frequently impose on ourselves.

    For instance, let us assume you have a neighbor who is in trouble. Things are not going well at home. He is having financial difficulties, is worried about his job, and in desperation he comes to you for some advice...

  • Alternatives to standing still  By : Mike Scantlebury
    It's common sense. Standing still takes no energy and jogging burns up calories. Wrong. Life's not like that. Every day we struggle and strain just to stay where we are, not because we like it, but because it feels familiar. We interpret that as comfortable and safe. Wrong. Changing course is almost as difficult as staying in the same rut. Try it.

  • Discover The Law of Abundance In Nature  By : Steve Lobe
    The law of abundance is shown in many ways in nature. Whatever nature needs to prosper can be found when and where it is needed. For example: a rose plant in the wild demonstrates the law of abundance. For 5 or 6 months in a year, the rose lives and remains dormant the rest of the year in a cold climate. During the spring and summer months the rose takes advantage of the sun's warmth and soft rains and blooms on a continual basis.

  • Present Reality Is Manifestation Of Past Thoughts  By : Enoch Tan

If you want things to be different, you have to think and do things differently.

    He sent a note upstairs to the office of A.L. Thomas, the head of the Lord and Thomas advertising agency. "I'm in the saloon downstairs,” the note began, “and I can tell you

  • My Communication Is The Response I Get  By : Niurka
    Have you ever felt you communicated clearly with someone, but that person didn’t understand what you said? Did you blame them for not listening properly, or for misinterpreting your words?

  • Alternatives to the downward spiral  By : Mike Scantlebury
    How come 'bad luck comes in threes'? Because good luck comes in 3s too, and 5s, and 7s. Things are linked. One item often piles on top of another. If it's bad news, then there's more to come, and soon you're on the downward spiral. But - something that most people don't stop to think about is that good news never travels alone either. One good thing can lead to another. There's an upward spiral as well as a down facing one!

  • Puppy Power  By : Gary Crow
    I'm sitting here watching our puppy bark at his reflection in the window in the door to the back yard. His goal is to get outside but he has a problem. There is a guard dog on the other side of the window, staying right with him, bark for bark, preventing his exit.
