  Admittedly, I would insist that we really DO need to know (fill in the blank). But… could I be wrong? Is it possible to have too much access to the sources of knowledge? Notice the word is ‘access’ and not a rejection of knowing. With today’s instant availability, suddenly we’re faced with two problems:  1- the […]

  Are you a person of your word? Is your ‘yes’, yes and ‘no’, no? Perhaps your word is… maybe? Or… I don’t know? But most important, if there is a change in your thinking or actions, do you let others know? If other people are relying on what you have said then what you

  I think my least favorite word is ‘waste’. To me it always means, simply, thrown away ‘opportunity’. I would also contend that waste is a conscious act, willful and it always indicates  – loss. While you may argue with my ‘conscious act’ designation – consider how you know it’s waste.   More important – do

  Have you ever, in your wildest dreams, considered that, like Noah, God is asking you to build an Ark? Maybe not a literal ark, but still it feels like an ark. Surely not!? And the reason you are exempt is…??? Maybe you need to look at what you are being asked to be, to do.

Not surprising and understandable. However,

  How do you define ‘quality of life’? Without a definition, description how will you know you are or are not experiencing it?  It really isn’t important if your definition is (or not) similar to anyone else – we all have our own definitions. Regardless, the important question, after definition, is: what are you doing right now

  I’m a great believer in goal setting. And I dearly love checking off an object benchmark on my way to the goal. However, I’m also open to either a different approach to attaining the goal or a complete change entirely (and yes, I always have a vested interest in attaining the goal or I

rather, a slight change. It’s time to make a shift more than a change. The shift: developing my new blog called: …but, what do you think, what do you believe? Long title, I know. If interested you can find it at: http://yourthoughtsandbeliefs.blogspot.com/. Reality is that I will be spending more time in the next couple

  I think there is little argument that a life worth living is what we all want – to be, to have such a life. However, I also suspect that except for the broad brushstroke of  ‘aspects’, this is defined differently for each person. Personalize it. What are the components that comprise your ‘Life Worth
