A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest. -Elie Wiesel, writer, Nobel laureate (30 Sep 1928-2016)2022/09/29

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
Too much sanity may be madness. And maddest of all, to see life as it is and not as it should be! -Miguel de Cervantes, writer (29 Sep 1547-1616)2022/09/23
Become a Limitless Person
- Our thoughts create our reality. Thoughts come first and feelings second, therefore changing how we think changes how we feel. Limitless people have the patent on this. They get it.
- Life happens for us and not to us. Limitless people do not curse what gets in their way. Instead, they look at each curveball that life throws as an opportunity for growth and a blessing.
- No one can hurt our feelings. Dyer (2001) explains that limitless people are aware that our feelings come from our own thoughts and not from what other people say or do.
- Operating from a place of lack only attracts more lack. This is called deficit motivation and is not a place limitless people operate from. Doing so keeps people in a perpetual place of striving for more and never being content with what is.
- The key to happiness is residing in a place of gratitude every day. Happiness has little to do with our circumstances. It is about a mindset of appreciation for every gift we’ve been given and everything that is going well. Limitless people always have enough.
- We must get rid of the junk. When we are filled up with old narratives that involve negative emotions such as guilt, shame, blame, jealousy, or envy, there is no room for the authentic self to expand. Think of it as memory space in a computer’s hard drive. When the space is full of old files or programs, the computer slows down and becomes unable to take in and process anything new. Limitless people know that they must keep on top of clearing out their “brain attic” and let go of the junk.
- Know that we are always single, even if we are married. Relationships and the people in them are complex and complicated. When two people come together, they come together as two whole and complete individuals rather than two half-people completing each other.
- Failure does not exist. We are simply people producing results that point us in a certain direction. Limitless people learn and grow from being pointed in new directions (Dyer, 2001).
- What we resist will persist (Jung, 1933). Limitless people do not fight the universe. They reside in a place of non-resistance and allow life to unfold as it is meant to.
- It is our number one job to keep ourselves filled up. We cannot give what we do not have. Limitless people keep their cups full. What is inside the cup is for them. What overflows to the outside is for everyone else.
- We must believe it to see it. Limitless people visualize how they will feel when what they desire happens. They are not surprised because they trust in the universe and the infinite abundance it has to offer. The happiness of limitless people is not attached to a specific outcome (Dyer, 2001).
- A calm mind is a powerful mind. Limitless people are present in the now and actively engaged in life.

All envy would be extinguished if it were universally known that there are none to be envied. -Samuel Johnson, lexicographer (18 Sep 1709-1784)2022/09/16
Todays Thought
A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
I like the pluralism of modernity; it doesn't threaten me or my faith. And if one's faith is dependent on being reinforced in every aspect of other people's lives, then it is a rather insecure faith, don't you think? -Andrew Sullivan, author and editor (b. 10 Aug 1963)2022/09/15
Todays Thought
A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
Most people are mirrors, reflecting the moods and emotions of the times; few are windows, bringing light to bear on the dark corners where troubles fester. The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows. -Sydney J. Harris, journalist and author (14 Sep 1917-1986)Liberalism Is Not the Opposite of Conservatism
Liberalism Is Not the Opposite of Conservatism
"An earlier essay on conservatism by UCLA professor Philip Agre, an essay much read in Bush II years, held that “Conservatism is the domination of society by an aristocracy,” and thus conservatives seek to make the status quo “seem permanent and timeless” and “to pass on their positions of privilege to their children.”
