I am reminded of Mother Teresa’s comments that she would not join a protest against war, but if you wanted to invite her to a rally for peace she will come. “I was once asked why I don’t participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I’ll be there. Mother Teresa.”This is simply of where we place our energy. If we apply our energy to the negative side of that which we do not want we get more of what we do not want. When we apply our energy to the positive side of what we want, then we will attract more of what we want.

I have not posted for some time. I am sorry to my readers for the absences. I have no good excuse other than I have a plate full of new beginnings. I am preparing to teach a class summer term at the Successful Aging Institute at Lane Community College. I will begin teaching a Seminar on Thought Transformation with ACCBO CEU’s to the counselors and therapist in the State of Oregon. I am currently in process of writing my second book with co-author Christine Stiller, and so on. As Wayne Dyer would say these are just excuses, and he is right. Thanks Wayne.

Ok back to Mother Teresa’s quote. I drive by the homeless camps that we have in our fine city most days, and say to myself: Thanks be to God there go I. Yes I was homeless once in my early life. I have come to understand that I create my own reality and yes I cause and thought my way to homelessness at that time in my life. I have since built many success businesses and created a great life for myself, my family, and helped other to do the same. I will admit that I have not paid a whole lot of attention to the plight of the homeless until other day. Oh I put my time in at the centers and shelters, helping when I can, but I go back home to my cozy little estate and forget all about the struggles of those who go without a roof, maybe even food.

Well I happen to be driving south bound on Coburg Rd. the other day and I noticed a flash for two state trucks and several workers putting up what looked like jail bars under the bridge footing at the intersection of Coburg Rd, I105, and the access road to Country Club Rd. When I realized what they were doing I was brought back to Mother Teresa’s quote.

Why on earth would we first be displacing the homeless once again, and this time on purpose. Secondly, we are spend an enormous amount of capital in man hours, fuel, equipments, and materials to keep these homeless people, fellow human beings, from having a dry place to sleep. Wouldn’t it make a heck of a lot more sense and save a huge amount of energy (quantum energy) to put up a few crappers and some garbage cans, and let them sleep there?

Don’t get me wrong I am not ignorant to the fact that some, maybe a good portion, of these human beings created this reality for themselves, and that they want to be there. Yes they did in fact create this reality for themselves. Some have issues to drinking and drugs. There are some who have other personal issues that are not getting the help they need, or don’t wish to engage in the system to get the help. Either way they are fellow human beings and it appears to me that they are being further displaced. Look I am not saying that I have the answers here, but we must have some positive dialog about this growing issue. This is not just a local issue either. The population of homeless is growing daily around this country.

~~

We need to begin changing our thoughts about this issue. We need to begin change our consciousness about how we interact with our fellow human beings. We are connected to each other, and the sooner we come to a collective consciousness on this and many other issues facing the human race the sooner we can live in harmony. Just think, maybe the next major shift in consciousness or invention, or idea, or the next Einstein may come from this displace population. Let us begin anew and when called upon, answer the calling, do what is uncomfortable. Reach out and help one another to realize our greatness. It is time that we begin looking at what we have in common and how to help one another, than look at what separates us and makes us different. Pay It Forward! Reach out and help up! Do the uncomfortable.

I wish to leave you with my favorite quote. Be blessed.

Excellence can be attained if you Care more than others think is wise; Risk more than others think is safe; Dream more than others think is practical; and Expect more than other think is possible. Author Unknown

It Is Your Choice

What I find so fascinating about life is that when you really are looking for the good in all things, that is what you will find or that finds you.  I have to share a story that was just send to me by a new friend, who I can hardly wait to spend more time with.  I met Catherine S. Read by way of a HARO request.  Catherine is a Social Media expert, and will be gracing us with her gift in a few weeks.  The HARO request was to assist my bookies group (5 aspiring authors mastermind group) with an understanding of the social media landscape.  Since our introduction, Catherine has truly shared some valuable nuggets and I would like to pass one along to my readers.

Just imagine for a moment that all you do all day in complain about the state of your life.  Just visualize that for a moment! YUK!  Now visualize for a moment what your life would look like if all you saw was positive focus, creation, love, joy, fulfillment WOW!  Now which one makes more sense, aw come on, which vision are you or which one would you like to envision.  Catherine shared this story of the “duck or eagles.” The ironic thing about this story is the realism that exists thought the story, you can point to any situation or person on any given day and apply this story too them.

Now listen this is not rocket science, but it is amazing at how easy it is to complain and focus on the negative.  If you will just take baby steps to continue to focus on what is good about your life, focus on what you want in your life then you will bring about changes just like Wally did.  Enjoy, and please please share this post with others.  The one thing I can guarantee is that your life will change forever when you stop complaining and begin to treat yourself and everyone around you with gratitude. When you develop a positive outlook of your life you will begin to see the door of positive results open to you.  My own life is a testament to re-focusing my energy towards positive energy and all I can say there is no limitation to what is in store for it.

Please enjoy this story told by Harvey Mackay, and Catherine thank you!

“Whatever we plant in our subconscious mind and
nourish with repetition and emotion will
one day become a reality.”
— Earl Nightingale

We can plant any seed we want in the soil, and if it’s given enough time and attention, it will grow into a flower, vegetable, or tree. The same goes for our mind. We can plant misery and negative thoughts, or we can choose to plant the most hopeful, success-focused thoughts we can muster. With enough time and attention, those seeds will grow as well. Will they grow into a promising future or a mediocre life? That depends on what you planted. Earl Nightingale provides some guidance below.

Check This Out, and if you still have excuses after watching this….. Well…….

Thai Pantene television commercial. Its simply brilliant. The story of a deaf and mute girl who learns to play the violin against all odds. One of the most touching advertisements Ive seen in a long, long time.

I will be posting more on this topic later, after I have had my own personal experience this afternoon.  I will be joining some of my other spiritual partners this evening, sharing our time and energies to feed and entertain several homeless in the Eugene, OR. area.  I would like your thought, comments and your own experiences as you have given of your time to help others.  I would also like to give thanks to Smile and Move Dot Com for  their inspiration.

When most people think in terms of ethical marketing, they know that ethics plays into the sales copy that is used to sell the product or service. For example, it is unethical to make claims that are false concerning the product or service, or to make false claims about expected results from the use of a product or service.  Read The Full Story

This, however, is not the case. Numerous things can be accomplished with business ethics training, and this type of training can be either very simplified or very complex.
