A famous essay was written by Emmanuel Kant in the year 1874.His

title was What is Enlightenment . His defination was simple…

{The freedom to use  one’s own intelegence .

Enlightenment was mentioned in the Bible in the New Testement and the

Old Testement.It was expressed by the Greeks and Romans and

by others all down history.

The founding fathers of the United States all were very aware of Enlightment. The Bill of Right and our United States Consitution

were all concieved around this freedom.George Washington.

Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and many more

brought about this new thing  called democary all based on,

One’s freedom to use his own intelegence.

Bill Wilson the founder of Alcoholics Anonymous didn’t call it

enlightment but spoke many times about one’s freedom from a

very sick state of mind . The freedom to once again think for one’s self.

Use this information to get the cobbwebs out and improve your life on

a 24 hour playing field. If you do what is right for 24 hours then it is

eaiser and clearer to do the next 24 hours. Remember that

Enlightenment is your Gift from God….The Universe….

or Just plain and simple, your Higher Power.

Choose to use your brain to improve your life a little each and

every 24 hours. If you improve just one percent by the end of the year

you will have improved 365 percent….Until Next Time…….John

A couple of weeks ago I mentioned that the 12 steps that so

many groups use all have their own prayer. Below is the  seventh

step prayer. I sort of like it.

” My Creator”, I am now willing that you should have all of me,good and bad. I pray that you now remove from me every single defect of character which stands in the way  of my  

usefulness to you and my felows. Grant  me strength as I go out from here to do your bidding…..Amen

Thanks again..Keep up the good work…Until Next Time…John H

Being able to recieve and give instead of rejecting and resenting…

Living life’s on life’s  terms is a true blessing. Accepting  things as the

come each day and handleing them in a decent way  and not getting

caught up in resentments or self-pity.

Everybody has problems so don’t feel all alone…Just think,people die,

houses burn down, car wrecks happen, people lose thier eyesight,storms

and earthquakes still plauge the worldand people reject other people all the

time. The hardest to accept is when someone you love and care about

rejects you and totally refuses to communicate with you about it. Look

in the mirrow and tell yourself that one day you will be a better person for

it.It is even harder to forgive them, but when you do you will be free of all

the bad feelings. For the next 24 hours find forgiveness in your heart and

enjoy a little peace. Until Next Time….John…Try my new links page…

You will be glad you did.

wonderfulday,,,Until Next Time…….John

As I have mentioned before I have been affilated with the A A program for many years. I don’t preach A A but do respect what it does. Each of the twelve steps has a Prayer that goes along with it. I thought that you may  interested in the  third step Prayer.It goes like this…..  

God, I offer myself to Thee- To build with me and do with me as Thou wilt.

Relieve me of the bondage of self,that I may better do Thy will. Take away

my difficulties,that victory over them may bear witness to those I would

help of Thy power,Thy love, and Thy way of life. May I do thy will always.

Amen…..Some people question …Just what is God’ will for me ?….Well

get up each morning with enthusiam and do what is in front of you…

and then leave the results up to Him… Until Next Time…John

Experience has taught me that my personality tends to a bit grandiose. While having the best of intentions,I can easily go off in a tangent  in pursuit

of my beliefs and causes. My EGO just takes charge and I loose sight of where

I am headed.My own self importance then can become a harn to me are

others around me. Others have a right to who they are and it is not

my place to interfear with them…

Take each day as it comes and remember that it is not all about you and

what you want…Until Next Time John

Time comes to us in an equal  lot. Everyone gets 24 hours at a time.

So why do some people become wealthy and yet others  poor. All

wealth is not money so lets be clear. Our attitude toward life in general

determines where we will  be in life. If we are lazy….we get poor

results Life don’t just happen.We must use our thinking  to balance our lives

in order to improve.

Time must be used as a tool of growth and never used as a

crutch…….quote by John F. Kennedy

We are just starting a New Year so make it a good one. Use your next

24 hours wisely…..Until Next Time…..John
