Accomplishment

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

I recently came across a quote by Guy Finley.

He is a professional speaker and personal

developement coach. I could not get this

quote out of my head so I thought I would

share it with you.

The greatest accomplishment of all is…..

The only truly worthwhile ” accomplish-

ment”the one action that stands the test

of time—is the interior work we do on

ourselves that allows God to accomplish

his work in our soul…..Guy Finley

Was that geat or what? Have a wonderful

24hours…Until Next Time…John

RAGE

Friday, February 5th, 2010

 

I can not speak of your rage but I can tell you about mine and how

destructive to can be. 

In my case and as far back as I can remember I kept hurts and ill feelings

deep inside and refused to bring them up for anyone.Sometimes they were

real but sometimes the were my own concept

of reality. Just one big misconceptsion on my part.

The bad thing was that I never had any idea when this rage would blow up

and erupt like a volcano. Most of the time I was an easy going person  and

pretty level headed. I made no waves until my rage was ready to come

out.However when it did blow I was loud and abusive.I managed to

comlpetely  destroy  my first mariage. I could not understand why my

first wife was afraid of me.

I am 70 yers old now and life has been much better for the past 36 years.

I do still get mad and angry at times but I do not hold it inside.  I have been

able to manage my rage by living One -Day-At-A-Time and being aware of

life on life’s terms.

One thing for sure…When you have RAGE you will always deny it.Please

take the necessary action to put it in it’s place.

May you have a wonderful day and peaceful day. Become aware….and live 24 hours at a time enjoying life ….Until Next Time….John

Wasted Time

Monday, February 1st, 2010

A wise old man once said to me, ‘Son don’t waste any of

your days. Use them wisely”

 

My,how time passes us by…Yesterday I was just a kid playing and

having fun, swimming in the local creek or walking in the woods just

loving nature and all it’s beauty. I could wonder around for hours

just enjoying what nature had to offer. I know now that I was truly

blessed.

After those wondrful years I became obsessed with making money

and getting  material things.I also replace the good life with alcohol.

I could care less about anyone…just myself and my booze. I got into

the fast lane. Fortunately, I was introduced toAA  at the age of 26.I

had big time denial so it took me until age34 to get back in the slow

lane again.

Now at the age of 70 I am old enough to feel old but young  enough to feel

young at heart.

Life has been extremely good to me. I am now truly grateful to have

lived one half of my years on a 24 hour plan. No I did not become rich

in material things nor did I become the govenor.

When I awaken each morning  I remember what the old man said.

Son don’t waste those days….I remember to smile, I enjoy a cup

of coffee and when I go out and meet the people of the world I remember

to be kind,gentle ,understanding and helpful as I can.Oh,  I almost missed

patient and courteous. And that my friend is how I waste my days.

After all that when the day is over and I am a bit weary. I get a good

night sleep so I will be ready for the next day.

I forgot to mention that… Life just would not be any fun at all,

if we did not have problems.

A big smile and Lot of Love to you… Enjoy as many 24 hours as

you can. Until Next Time……John
