There was a time when I thought that it was perfectly reasonable to like or dislike someone based on whether they looked like my version of normal. Have you ever thrown someone out of your life because they did not agree with you? Have you had the experience of meeting someone for the first time and immediately finding a good reason to dislike them? << MORE >>

How would you like to join me this year in living in a Day-Tight Compartment? No, this is not a new apartment complex. It means living each day with no worry about what might happen tomorrow. . .<< MORE >>

Why do most New Year's Resolutions disappear like so much smoke in the wind? I've lost count of the times I made some promise for change and a week after the new year started, I had forgotten about it. On the occasions that I did remember the promise, it no longer seemed that important any more. After all, I had survived just fine without the change so far. Right? << MORE >>

Giving in to "reality" is so easy. The authorities assure us that they are the experts. These authorities can be doctors, teachers, parents, employers. No matter who they are, their beliefs are based on bodies of knowledge that do not take into account your personal resolve - - your personal creative power. << MORE >>

You have probably heard people say,  "Give thanks for your challenges  because you will grow stronger by solving them." They often go on to say that solving problems opens doors to a better life. 

If this is true, does not solving a problem keep me stuck in a certain place?

The answer lies in the truth that we are connected to a creative power that works just as well for us as against us. The more we practice using this creative power, the greater the power—whatever you're using it for—becomes. The caveat is that it works just as well whether you focus on not solving your problem or on solving your problem.

Solving problems, I believe, is the only way to achieve personal improvement. Our problems, whether they are mental or physical, are the means God offers us for changing this life for ourselves as well as the next! God is extremely efficient. Nothing is wasted. Everything serves a higher purpose.

Most of us assume that we value all the things in our lives. However, God sometimes unfolds an opportunity for us to truly know what is important and what is not.

After my stroke 2 ½ weeks ago, I suffered from anomic aphasia. That means that I could write, but I could not read. I did not recognize letters when I saw them, but if you said, “Write down I will practice my letters until I know them,”  I could write that down.

I knew what things were, but if you asked me specifically, “What is ___ called?” I ...<< MORE >>

We’re always being reminded that life is a journey, and that we should live in the moment and enjoy the journey. Great advice, but how often do we really do that? Most of the time we live in the future or the past. We dwell on regrets about the past or wishes for the future.

So, how do you live in the moment without focusing on the past or the future if it appears that this moment sucks? << MORE >>
