Awakened Like A Bear
Have you ever woken up all frustrated and angry that you don’t have what you want? Not enough money, not enough time, not enough life, not enough happiness? Did you yell at everybody around you? Quit your job? Blame the world? Well of course you have. At one point or another we all have felt this way. If you understand what’s happening in that moment it’s actually a great thing if you understand it.
I know it doesn’t feel good and ultimately for most people, once they stop blaming the world, they retreat to the confines of their safe place and collapse. They know deep inside that it’s up to them, that nobody is coming to help….and that’s the spot where the road divides. Two paths. One looks easier, but we are wary. Something doesn’t feel right. It almost looks too easy. The other is clear but rough. It looks like a lot of work. There seems to be a path but there are hurdles and obstacles, but there is an encouraging light shining from somewhere…something we can feel more than we can see.
The Grinders
The sad part is that most jump onto the more trodden path. Only to find out that it’s slippery. What seemed like gold is hardly that, and when we begin we find there are a lot of unhappy people on that path. Many of them are high on something that seems to be repressing who they really are. You can see it in their eyes. they appear okay, but upon a deeper investigation they have an empty look…a “going through the motions” mentality.
Remember above all that mental stability comes by examining the contents of the mind, not by avoidance. -Vernon Howard (1912-1992), American author, philosopher and spiritual teacher.

Preying and Pouncing
Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be. -John Wooden(1910-) Basketball Hall of Famer, and former coach of UCLA whose 10 NCAA championships in 12 years is unmatched.
Hoodwinked
I find my greatest pleasure, and so my reward, in the work that precedes what the world calls success. Thomas A. Edison (1847-1931), scientist, businessman, and one of the most prolific inventors holding 1,093 U.S. patents.
The Ultimate Elixir
I found it! I really did! The magic pill! At long last the true secret that has transcended time itself. The Ultimate elixir! That thing that moves us from rich to poor, weak to strong! Now it has taken me years of study and understanding and I’m not sure that I want to share it…
