Do you have some goals you want to achieve or dreams you want to fulfill? A useful tool in reaching the outcomes you desire is the creation of a vision, which can be short or long-term. I recommend writing down specifics to add clarity and focus.

What is a vision?

Here’s one definition by Thomas Leonard.

“It is a state or outcome that a person can see naturally and that inspires them. In other words, they are drawn, attracted, and pulled toward what they see. It’s exciting, and there is very little emotional cost. In fact, joy is often present. It’s not a reason for living.” Visions evolve and change over time reflecting who you are - your passions, values, needs, and desires.

*Visions evolve and change over time reflecting who you are - your passions, values, needs, desires etc.*

Powerful Visioning

Written as a story, single sentences, drawn as a picture, a collage… visions can take whatever shape is most meaningful to you. The point? Here’s a few….

1. How do you know what you want if you don’t define it?

2. How will you know when you get there if you don’t know where there is?

3. By putting things down on paper, makes what you think or say - REAL.

4. Saying and seeing what you truly want in your life opens you up to HAVING it!

5. Allows you to step back and view your life from a fresh or new perspective.

6. Creates hope and possibility.

7. Compels you to MOVE and get what you want!

Questions that evoke clarity in creating a vision:

What do you truly want to experience or accomplish this year for yourself, personally, and professionally?

Where do you want to see your life a year from now?

What do you want to change/add/eliminate in your life?

If money was not an issue, what would you be doing?

What brings you joy? Makes your heart sing?

Describe your perfect life

” Imagination is everything” - Albert Einstein

I’m a believer in working with visioning and clear intentions for creating power-full outcomes. Imagine yourself on the 31st day of December looking back over this past year. What changes do you want to see? What challenges have you overcome? What are you most proud of having accomplished? Who have you become? Ready to make a 100-day commitment to get what you want?

Three steps to creating a powerful vision

1. First, create a clear vision/intention. It’s important to get a clear vision of the outcome you want. Be specific about what you really, really, want! Write about it and share it with supportive people. Give voice to your vision.

2. Second, create an inspiring connection. Take five minutes per day to open your heart and mind to focus on your vision feeling the joy of that vision already fulfilled. Isn’t it worth five minutes a day to get what you want? Set a regular time each day to envision the outcome you want and to feel the joy of it. Make this a daily ritual. Consciously revisit the intention of your vision throughout the day to keep the energy flowing.

3. The third step - take meaningful action. Vision and connection without action is just a great idea. Identify 5 actions that will move you closer to living your vision. As you complete each step, celebrate your wins and continue to add the next action steps that keep invested in the process of attracting and achieving the desired outcome. * Remember to celebrate along the way!

Note: Creating a vision, making a connection, and taking action will be dramatically affected if you are sabotaging your success!

Here’s an example of how self-sabotage can impact the success of your vision/intention:

1. Your vision is to have more personal time. You create a vision of what that would look like (reading more, having free time, an exercise regime, leaving work earlier, delegating more tasks, setting boundaries with others, etc).

2. Your self-defeating beliefs (what you think) may be - what your role is for others, needing to please people for approval and/or love, being self-ish etc.

3. Your self-defeating behaviors (what you do) may be - inability to say no, difficulty in setting and reinforcing boundaries, trying to take care of everybody, doing it ALL, etc.

To change a behavior, you must first change your attitude. That can be part of your vision - changing/replacing a self-defeating/limiting belief.

Physicists:

By Robert Bruce Baird

INSPIRATIONAL COMMENTS:

“There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance - that principle is contempt prior to investigation. - Herbert Spencer”

Albert Einstein - “We are seeking for the simplest possible scheme of thought that will bind together the observed facts.”

“If we do not expect the unexpected, we will never find it.” - Heraclitus

“Human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives.” - William James

“I feel that if we could be serious for an hour and really fathom, delve into ourselves as much as we can, we should be able to release, not through any action of will, a certain sense of energy that is awake all the time, which is beyond thought.” - Jiddhu Krishnamurti, Madras, 1961

Heraclitus: “… conceded the existence of an over-riding, all-encompassing unity, in which the apparently contradictory opposites are all linked to one another, in a single, regular, cohesive system of balanced, harmonious measure and just order.”

“Consciousness is a singular of which the plural is unknown. There is only one thing, and that which seems to be a plurality is merely a series of different aspects of this one thing, produced by a deception, the Indian maya, as in a gallery of mirrors.” - Erwin Schrdinger

I think this means that all the talk about anomalous or truthful science is a bunch of you know what from the ego of man. We are ‘connected’ and our real self is not our ego. I am also of the opinion that he sees something I think is the nature of reality about the personality that some insist continues in such things as past-life regressions. Yes, perhaps through limbo and obsessions some things stay in this materially focused frame of reference (I have performed exorcisms) but when we are reborn all those memories of other lives are memories of a collective oversoul not anything like an individual soul. Maya and samsara or the ‘busy-mind’ do indeed deceive as he says - and though a few will gain great insight into the plural they will still be far from totally informed. Thus we must be open to all possibilities.

“Inherent to wave mechanics are the mechanisms of wave superposition and parallel and non-linear information processing. And these mechanisms, which are also affected and regulated by the laws of thermodynamics, are responsible for information growth and the evolution of biological matter. Information begets information.” - Laurent from Gaithersburg, Maryland.

INTRODUCTION:

Our reason (philosophy), should concern our ’selves’ with the field of metaphysics. Metaphysics is the study of three entities: the ‘individual being’, the universe or what we call reality and what lies beyond the universe. Metaphysics is the study of how and why the ‘individual being’, the universe, and what lies beyond the universe interact with each other. Metaphysics is the study of whether or not all three, or for that matter if any of the three, exist. Metaphysics is the study of how and why the three interact, if in fact they do exist. Metaphysics is the pondering over the questions: Where are we? What are we? Why do we exist? It could be argued that Descartes was one of its more prominent figures with his initiation of the concept of ‘knowing’, of existing, when he said ‘Cogito, ergo sum’ (I think, therefore I am). Or, as Popeye said “I yam wut I Yam”.

There are many people who are secure in the knowledge that all is right with the world and they feel good about how they personally think about themselves and their soul. I confess I have a lot of confidence but I am not so certain about what the human experience really entails. I see so much more all the time. The opening of each door seems to lead to there being more doors and more books to write therefore. The people who are sure of god being in heaven or those who have bought the ‘world of seems to be’ may not like this honest expression of what might be real; but they should know that most of the physicists sense there is a lot more than even they know. I love the quantum physicists for all the wondrous soulful things they seem to be able to explain better than me in so many ways. I can hope that a few readers will be those who do not believe in the soul and that after reading this they will be less certain but I do not encourage belief or the closure of possibilities it brings. There are many ways that illusions of separation cause transient errors made by the ego or the persona (Greek for mask) worn by actors during a momentary diversion called life.

In fact I do not think of the soul as continuing beyond this event horizon or material body with anything that ego or personality contains although I do think some of the elemental energy in a limbo state can impact on these reported re-incarnations with something like that until the person grows or harmonizes enough to move on. Religious I am not, for certain; mystic I can be at times I suppose; but mostly I observe like the alchemists who developed the scientific method.

A neuroscience forum which I was invited to has had many people respond to various postings without identifying themselves. I think some of that is because they have a reputation to protect or job they value. Here is one such response to a thread I started.

“Science is reductionist whereas mysticism is broadly integrative. It would seem that science and mysticism occupy anti-podal positions. They are both concerned with truth, yet go about it differently. Science seeks to objectively and mathematically describe truth, whereas mysticism seeks to experience truth. Science and mysticism are flip sides of the same coin. The greatest scientists have invariantly been deeply mystical. I’m tempted to say that the greatest mystics have invariantly been deeply scientific, or at least had an appreciation for science, but this I’m less certain of.”

I responded by saying I agreed and that I was certain the sages or greatest scientists were indeed very spiritual. One of those sages is David Bohm (Whose Holographic Universe has many adherents at the Yerkes Primate Center where hard physiological proofs are found.) and here is a little of how he approached physics.

“In an interview in 1989 at the Nils Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, where Bohm presented his views, Bohm spoke on his theory of wholeness and the implicate order. The conversation centered around a new worldview that is developing in part of the Western world, one that places more focus on wholeness and process than analysis of separate parts. Bohm explained the basics of the theory of relativity and its more revolutionary offspring, quantum theory. Either theory, if carried out to its extreme, violates every concept on which we base our understanding of reality. Both challenge our notions of our world and ourselves.

He cited evidence from both theories that support a new paradigm of a more interrelated, fluid, and less absolute basis of existence, one in which mind is an active participant. ‘Information contributes fundamentally to the qualities of substance.’ He discussed forms, fields, superconductivity, wave function and electron behavior. ‘Wave function, which operates through form, is closer to life and mind… The electron has a mindlike quality.’” (1)

The early quantum physicists like Neils Bohr were ridiculed by those who could not comprehend the majesty of their attempts to explain our reality. The debunker’s inductive reasoning which imposes direct inferential theory upon nature has caused a setback that science has yet to overcome. Despite their stated fear of religion these theories are in fact doing what the Dark Ages did to sincere seekers of truth. It was the dawning of a New Age which revived ancient Chaos Science. Our whole computerized creative and productive world is largely a function of these ‘atom mysticists’. In response to that epithet they have driven the message home by showing over and over again that most know-nothing scientists are in cahoots with ignorance or worse. Michio Kaku of ‘Hyperspace’ does it well.

These giants of intellect found the soul of the Mandukya Upanishads (Wigner) and the S-Matrix math in the Tao Te Ching (Capra). Heisenberg ‘observed’ as the cat appeared, or did not, depending on whether Schrdinger was there to witness. All Zen aficionados were overjoyed to see the Western predilection for linear thinking in boxes was being changed from within. A far greater amount of possibility-thinking and real independent inquiry has resulted. All theatres of thought are now called post-Modern by ‘experts’ in ivory towers who are usually wrong. Bohr said, ‘A great truth has an opposite which is also true. A trivial truth has an opposite which is false.’

The Club of Rome is doing a lot of good analysis of issues and the need for multi-disciplinarian principles in a new technological era. Here is something they say which I heartily approve of.

“Systems of education are less and less adapted to the new issues, to the new emerging global society we are presently involved in. New priorities force us to redefine the role of education, which should be conceived as a permanent learning process. Transmission of knowledge is no longer sufficient, and new objectives such as developing one’s own potential and creativity, or the capacity of adaptation to change are becoming essential in a rapidly changing world.

The Club of Rome considers that education is both part of the global problematique and also an essential tool to become an effective actor in control of one’s own life and within society. If there are “Limits to Growth”, there are “No Limits to Learning” (titles of two Reports to the Club of Rome).” (2)

In the area of physics the Classical Electromagnetic Model or particles and force constructs, have given way to wave behavior models that allow harmonic interaction and affinity across space-time as I see it. There are some people who have such an ingrained or visceral response to mystical concepts that it makes one wonder how effective our propaganda paradigm that has waged war on enablement of the soul in each living thing has been. The space-time interval is only invariant in same frequency realms and astrophysicists know gravity is an instantaneous effect. Brian Greene is the first physicist with ‘groupies’ according to George Stephanopoulos, one time Clinton Press Secretary. Greene wrote the ELEGANT UNIVERSE a best-seller that explains String Theory and how it could answer some of the deepest aspects of human experience. He made a major contribution in 1992 that showed how the fabric of space could tear and repair itself. This is not possible according to relativity and its expression of the space/time continuum. The existence of anti-matter and ‘black holes’ are quite a conundrum for science that finds itself proving the mystics understandings - ‘fast and furious’.

My premise at its worst is that we must understand the mystics even if they are wrong about reality. There will be little achieved by constantly negating whatever reality they have been able to ’see’ and there has been a lot of advancement in science that proves they were right. But when told that this line of reasoning is religious or ‘airy-fairy’ I can only say - if we do not know how the sages or great minds saw reality how can we expect to help make a new reality that is better? How can you call Pythagoras weird (for example) when he contributed so much? How can people be so silly when they know they can’t do what he did? Is it ego that makes man so closed-minded? Here is a response to a physicist who sees (finally) that I have gathered the words of the top scientists, who agree with me. He seeks to rationalize the ‘One’ and understand the ego - which is a start at least.

Rational? Is that missing from the work of philosophers like Sartre who said ‘Love is absent space’. No - what is missing is an appeal to reductive and gradualistic paradigm ego or the need for POWER above all else. But that need for power actually produces less power and plentitude.

I tell you this - you do not know consciousness or it’s origin and you can find the best explanations in ancient writings and disciplines like the Sutras. It works!

Is what works rational? Not necessarily. Rational and religion or the anthropomorphing urge of ego is everywhere evident in non-cooperative mindsets.

Here is the way I could say it off the top of my head.

In the beginning there was energy in many dimensions. These dimensions gradually got in touch at some distance with information carried on attractive forces like gravity. These contacts grew and pathways formed - see my article called Affinity under those Google links or here. The pathways became lattices and vectors and valences of these energies which began to design ways to form new harmonizing potentials.

Laws of behavior and some kind of design began to actualize or manifest and over trillions of years a lot of knowledge and ways of creating became the way of the world or universes.

Consciousness came later and the soul is an outgrowth of this collective which directs us through the structures and lattices (helical and otherwise - time has a helical structure and seven layers too) in the likes of DNA.

I always have to remember to take a deep breath when examining the laws being proposed by our grand Legislature. I detest most of the new legislation on the table, but have to forgive our representatives in the House and Senate for it. After all, writing laws is what a Legislature does, and if they don’t write enough laws, it can begin to look like they’ve been loafing.

Call me strange, but I rather prefer a Legislature that goofs off and under produces new laws. I’m convinced we have enough of them already, and agree with Mark Twain, who famously said that no man’s life, liberty, or property is safe while the Legislature is in session.

Mainly, that is because no lawmaker wants to look like a slacker, especially so soon after an election. It’s bad form. As a result, we get some hideous proposals that I would chalk up as an effort to hide behind some broad good intention while looking meaningful, or at least busy.

House Bill 1508 is a textbook case as one such proposal.

Representative Vanessa Summers, an Indianapolis Democrat, has introduced legislation that would prohibit the use of cell phones, making exceptions for hands-free devices and for emergency use. The proposed fine for violations of the law would be up to $25.

The intent is to make our streets a little less hazardous. We have all groused at the idiot guilty of driving while in conversation that cut us off or made us miss a light, and we have cursed the driver and his cell phone. Summers’ proposal takes its cue from similar laws passed in New York and the District of Columbia. As everyone knows, these cities now have the safest streets in the world.

This law is rife with problems, from practical application to the higher concerns of individual liberty.

I know four friends, right off the top of my head, who would gladly pay up to $25, as a cost of doing business. They think this highly of each and every one of their calls. $25 is no kind of deterrent for these people.

What is emergency use? I define emergency use of a cell phone as a frantic call to a friend because I suddenly had two tickets offered to me for a Colts’ playoff game, and I have to accept within five minutes, or the tickets will be passed on to a co-worker. My wife defines it as having found a deal on furniture, and she’s on her way home so I can look at fabric swatches. I’m betting that this is not what the Representative has in mind. Some revisions will be in order.

But why just cell phones? If the real intent of the law is to eliminate distractions from our roadways, why not ban them all? Summers could justifiably expand the proposal to include a ban on smoking in the car, adjusting the radio or inserting a Britney Spears CD, eating fast food, scolding the rug rats in the backseat, talking with your spouse, shaving or applying makeup, doing the crossword puzzle, using a laptop computer, calling for on-screen directions to Starbucks, and rehearsing your excuse that explains your tardiness to the boss.

Could we really ban Britney Spears CDs? I digress.

Before the law is done with revisions, no common person will be able to read and understand it, and mainly, drivers will just continue to take their chances.

This begs the significant philosophical question: Why bother?

Isn’t it sufficient that citations can already be issued if the use of a cell phone is the cause of an accident? Why pile on? No harm, no foul: If the use of a cell phone isn’t endangering anyone in the moment, why penalize for the harm that was not caused?

Ah, the law is to be a deterrent, to eliminate the possibility of harm. But won’t it also become more than that? How much of a stretch is it to envision police pulling over drivers who endanger nobody on a deserted road at 11pm, but who are guilty of making a cell call, just so the officer can meet his monthly quota? Isn’t that a harm all its own?

Say, if the police pull a driver over to the side of the road, isn’t that the sort of distraction that could cause an accident? It should be banned!

Let’s hope this Bill dies in committee. If it passes, Summers will run for re-election in 2006 on the basis of having produced this wonderful law… and of having been suitably busy.

There’s an epidemic in America - financial planning procrastination! Far too many are approaching their golden years much less financially prepared then they had hoped to be. A fresh, new year is here and people young and old alike should forego the ever popular New Year’s resolution to lose weight and, instead, commit to getting their “financial house” in order. Doing so will help assure they enter senior citizenship with a financial nest egg that allows them to maintain their desired standard of living and, in doing so, peace of mind.

According to Senior Financial Coach Hank Parrott, President of Estate & Financial Strategies, Inc., “To achieve one’s desired retirement lifestyle, it’s imperative to have a sound financial game plan in place - and in the shortest order possible. Corporate pension plans have become far too unreliable, so American’s need to assure all of their retirement eggs are not in one basket and take complimentary measures to help secure their financial future.”

To help us get our collective ducks in a row for the New Year, Parrott offers these “Top Six Tips for 2006″ for retirement planning success:

1. Take stock. Assess where you are - financially speaking - right now. What is your current income? What are your current expenses? What assets do you currently have and what, if any, debt? This information is imperative for mapping out your financial future, as you won’t know where to go if you don’t know where you are.

2. Dig deeper. Next, attempt to identify income-generating opportunities and potential risks you may face. How can you eliminate any debt as quickly as possible? Do you anticipate any major increases or decreases in income or expenses? Are there any specific medical issues to deal with and/or plan for?

3. Forecast. Look ahead to where you intend to be based on your current path or plan. What can you count on in ten years? Will you have pension, Social Security and/or other income and, if so, how much? How much income will be needed from investments to cover living expenses and when?

4. Develop a financial game plan. Discern what available investment vehicles will improve the likelihood of having the lifestyle you desire with the least amount of risk? What is the minimal amount of return on our investments necessary to attain your goals? If you can attain your goals without, or with very little, risk, why put your retirement funds in jeopardy to chase higher returns? The best plan will account for inflation and taxes while preserving principle.

5. Foresee the unforeseen. Plan ahead for potential risks, such as high medical, insurance, prescription medication, and long term care expenses. Know what your options are with respect to Medicare and otherwise, which will be critically important once employer-based benefits are no longer available.

6. Pull the trigger. Once you have developed a solid financial game plan, implement those strategies ASAP and stay the investment course - with just 10 or fewer years until retirement, time “is” of the essence, after all, and looking for greener grass is a sure-fire hazard. Monitor your investments regularly to ensure all stays on track toward your goal.

There are a great many of you out there who are poised and ready
to move into the next phase of your lives but you are stuck in
the starting gate!! You have dedicated a part of yourself to the
romance and excitement that surrounds a new business venture but
there is something holding you back.

Today, I’m going to help you see into yourself so you can take
an honest look at why you’re having trouble making the
transition into entrepreneurship.

As you grow yourself out of your current situation towards
entrepreneurship, you will pass through three phases of
development.

The first phase is the DEPENDENCY PHASE. Physical dependence is
the same as if you were hooked on some sort of substance. Your
mind has decided that it is completely reliant on something. It
doesn’t have to be a substance!! It could be a family location.
It could be a physical impairment. It could be that you don’t
own the type of clothing that your mind needs to see your body
in before it can accept that you can be someone different.

The mental and emotional component of this dependence is the
most important part to understand. If you cannot get a handle on
your dependencies in this area you will get stuck in this phase.
That said, this is also the most liberating door to walk
through. You have to sit your self down and take an HONEST look
at your life up to this point. Remind yourself about your
dreams!! Accomplishment in the absence of dreams is impossible!!
Open yourself up to the possible and focus your energy toward
that goal!!

The TRANSITION PHASE is the ‘get up and go’ phase. Here you are
with a fresh look at yourself and a great business idea. You now
face the fear of starting or, if you teem it with inertia, ‘
Fear of Departure’. This happens often when you have a secure,
well paying job that you are contemplating leaving. There are
two things that can combat this fear. You need the support of
your family and friends and you need to have a business plan
that you have completely internalized. This will give you the
courage to step away (mentally at first) from that perceived
security which is exactly what is holding you back.

The business planning that you have done up to this point will
kick in now to carry you on through the execution portion of the
transition phase. Lots of work needs to be put forth to ensure
that your business is successful. Congratulations!! You’re out
of the starting blocks!!!

The last phase of development is the most gratifying. This is
when your mind re-learns to open up. When you were a child, your
mind was wide open to new things. That is how children can
absorb so much so fast. Successful people, as compared to lucky
ones are those that keep their minds open to opportunities. They
are also emotionally ready to capitalize upon those
opportunities.

In conclusion, I will leave you with this simple thought. You
are the only warden over your mind. You hold the keys that can
free your mind to see all of the opportunities out there.

Remind yourself of your dreams. See yourself for what you are
today. Plan for your transition to success. Execute that plan
and then allow your mind to be free and open to all of the
opportunities that come along.

To the success of your business!!!

Most people would agree that money, or the lack of it, is always on the top of their list of concerns. Bettering your finances really is possible if you begin with these simple steps.

1. Check your credit report at least twice a year. You can request basic reports for free or more detailed reports for a nominal fee from various online credit bureaus.

2. Pay down your high interest non-tax deductible loans first.

3. Pay yourself first by investing in your retirement. If your employer has a 401(k) plan, take full advantage of it. The money will grow tax deferred with interest.

4. Purchase health insurance and homeowners or renters insurance. Many employers offer Health Savings Accounts, which are becoming more flexible and affordable. The cost of having insurance is minimal compared to the cost of even a short hospital stay.

5. Get organized! Keep track of your expenditures and saving with some type of financial software package. Most new computers come with free, built in evaluation copies.

6. Develop a budget. Budget worksheets may be found online free of charge.

7. Pay your bills on time to avoid costly late fees and penalties.

8. Shop around for the best deals. The internet has revolutionize shoppers’ abilities to comparison shop, so take advantage of it.

9. Balance your checkbook monthly.

10. Divide your financial goals into small steps so you don’t feel overwhelmed. And if you slip up, don’t be too hard on yourself. Just review the plan and start again.

Anyone who has ever had to lose weight can attest to the enormous commitment the endeavor demands. Dropping pounds requires you to substantially alter your life style. Eating habits must be changed, physical activity must be incorporated and a general healthier approach to living must be embraced. For many individuals, the promise of a thinner self is the inspiration to maintain a weight loss regimen. Losing weight can have not only a significant effect on your health, but also on your self-esteem.

Feeling good about your physical appearance benefits your self-esteem in many ways. For many people, not being proud of their body prevents them from attaining what they want in life. It is exciting to think of the many areas in your life that can potentially change when you lose the weight.

Changing Your Attitude about Weight Loss

Losing weight can give you the confidence you need to win the position at work that you have always wanted. When you are not positive about your appearance, it shows, and often your career is negatively affected. Knowing that you look and feel good results in a positive attitude and people will respond accordingly. It is not only your attitude that will change, but also the way you interact with people. Weight loss can help you be more assertive, direct and convincing- factors that can get you ahead in your career!

Visualizing a Thinner You

Undoubtedly, weight loss has the power to change your professional life, but it also has the ability to change your romantic life. Whether you are attached or single, a new thinner you will have more confidence in the field of love. Perhaps you will surprise your husband by wearing that sexy dress you had always thought of wearing but never had the courage to do so. Or, maybe you will finally ask that gorgeous librarian out on a romantic date. Losing weight not only sheds extra pounds from your body, but it also does away with feelings of fear and intimidation. Once you conquer weight loss, you will feel as if anything is possible, and it is!

When you start to feel as if you will never lose the weight and dieting is just too hard, think of the new thinner you that is just around the corner. Imagine the added energy you will have, the increased confidence and the overall feeling of well being. Weight loss is hard work, but the end result is well worth it!

About the Author

Tammy Corbett is weight loss consultant and author of several articles on the importance of weight loss programs.

The debut book by author Parys Sylver needs a facelift. Parys
feels that the name evokes the wrong impression. Often a popular
name turns a good book into a great book. But the question is:
What is in a name.

“I don’t people to think its porn” Parys said on his official
site. “So a name change is needed. However, I still love the
original title.”

Parys plans to keep up with the idea with the soundtrack and
also tells his fans what song he is recording.

“Shine is the most appropriate song for me to sing. It’s the
theme song of the book. To “Shine so bright it blinds.”

So the question is what will be the new name for High School
Whore?

“I am in the process of creating a new name, since a new name is
needed. As far as the book goes I am basically done, there are
like 6 chapters left. February 12 is the wrap up day. And on
that day, if not before, I will release the official title.”

Parys Sylver also talks about his upcoming movies. Stating that
he is choosing his roles wisely and not in a rush to do
anything. But he may have a spot on Phil of The Future soon.

Have you ever thought what you would do without your Grandmom ? She’s the one that always stands beside us and gives us the cookies on the side? She fills in when Mom can’t. She’s the one that will spoil us rotten given half a chance. God thought enough of us to give us three earthly Guardian Angels if we are lucky enough when we are born all three are living. So many times, we forget Grandmom on Mother’s Day.

I am following my guidance in the writing of this article because Grandmom’s need to be exalted…not forgotten. Remember what I stated previously… God loves us enough that we are personally given this earthly Guardian Angel. Think about this for a moment… allow the monumental impact of that statement to sink in and all that encompasses. The one person that will always love you no matter what. As we get older we don’t think
we need Grandmom quite as much as we did before and we generally take her for granted … She will always be here? She’s behind the times. Maybe sitting in a nursing home
hoping someone will remember she is there. Will they come today? Will they call today? Do I matter anymore? Is it any wonder our elderly suffer from so much depression?

Grandmom’s are still Mom’s… they have a son or a daughter that happens to be your Mother or Father… then they have a Grandson or a Granddaughter that happens to be you. You have always come first with her. The apple of her eye. The one she could do all the things with that she didn’t have time with your Father or Mother because she was busy raising them full time… She loves you with unconditional love… remember that.

So you may have let her down once or twice, did she let you know or just give you a hug and a kiss and look upon you with those loving eyes of her’s?

Mother’s day is coming up May 8th. and what will you do for your Grandmom ? Will you remember to pick up the telephone to make the long distance telephone call to Grandmom who is now in the nursing home or lives just around the block that you haven’t seen or talked to in several weeks? Maybe Granddad isn’t here anymore and she could be very lonely, no matter the conditions take the time to reach out. Grandmom won’t be here forever and there may not be many tomorrow’s so let her know she is loved.

Will you remember to order, purchase or make a special gift for her? To send her a Mother’s Day card that isn’t an e-mail? To get in the car and make the 3 hour trip to Grandmom’s to just let her know how special she is to you… loved, honored and respected…

Remember…

God loves us enough that we are personally given an earthly Guardian Angel…

‘Grandmom’

One of God’s greatest gifts to us.

Let you be the reason for the smile on her face and the glow in her heart… you remembered.

“If one advances confidently in the direction of his
dreams and endeavors to live the life which he has
imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in
common hours.” - Henry David Thoreau

1. No focus and commitment.

You need to decide what you will be doing and when you
will do it. You need to evaluate the price of the
achievement, what it will cost you in time and effort.
Is it worth it to you?

2. No short term and long term goals.

Without clear cut goals there will be no progress.
Set goals that are attainable on a daily, monthly
and yearly basis.

3. Indecision.

Make that decision quickly. Take time to change
your decision.

4. No action.

Of course we know where most couch potatoes are. Right!

5. No mentor.

Find a mentor in areas that you are working on.
Every successful man and woman has had mentors.

6. No clear cut dream or future reality, destination.

Make sure you dream cleary and specifically, making
it real.

7. No plan to finance income production or startup
be it large or small.

Even the smallest enterprises need some financing on
a regular basis such as small ads, printing or postage.

8. Lots of opportunity tire kicking but no true desire
to go for it.

Its ok to evaluate several enterprises that you may
want to begin, key word BEGIN. You must narrow it
down to your top ten list, then top five, then pick the
best out five of begin.

9. Getting ready to get ready.

Once you have the vehicle, get in, start it, put it in
drive and go.

10. No marketing or salesmanship

You must market your business. If you do not then your
not in business. If you do not sell well, enlist some help.
The internet is a great place to start inexpensively.
