Use this path to start achieving your goals and vision for life.

As much as we plan for our vacations don't you think we should plan for our lives? This is not fool hardy or a waste of time. If you study some of the greatest leaders and business men and women in history, they all had goals that they adhered to. Take some time out; clear the mind and the voices of ignorance and negativity and start dreaming. Go through this exercise with one thought: Goals are an actuality, they are real and when you present an idea of vision the universe will supply the outcome as long as your belief system is on the same path.

If you could live your life over again, what would you do differently?
Below are the three predominant responses of most people:

1. Take more risks.

2. Receive more education.

3. Contribute to society.

How Important Is Goal Setting to you?
Look at this Yale Study from the Class of 1953.

87% of the student population had No Goals.
10% of them had Incomplete Goals.
3% were Comprehensive(the ones with solid goals)

Look what happened in this study 20 years later when we compare the successes of those who had written goals versus those who did not.

The 3% that wrote their goals down and continually read and believed in them earned and accomplished 10 times more than the rest of the graduating class combined. AMAZING!

“You’ll see it when you believe it,
You’ll believe it when you write it,
When you write it, it’s yours.”

You are Awesome!

The day to day matters of life can consume your thought and distract you from the truth. The enormous power you have within has yet to be accessed, mostly because the framework of life which we were raised in, has detoured us from the road to salvation. I find these words by Emmet Fox true directional signals to get you going and help lead you out of the wilderness.

"Refuse to tolerate anything less than harmony. You can have prosperity no matter what your present circumstances may be. You can have health and physical fitness. You can have a happy and joyous life. You can have a good home of your own. You can have congenial friends and comrades. You can have a full, free, joyous life, independent and untrammeled. You can become your own master or your own mistress. But to do this you must definitely seize the rudder of your own destiny and steer boldly and firmly for the port that you intend to make.

What are you doing about your future? Are you content to let things just drift along as they are, hoping, like Mr. Micawber, for something to "turn up"? If you are, be assured that there is no escape in that way. Nothing ever will turn up unless you exercise your Free Will and go out and turn it up for yourself by becoming acquainted with the Laws of Life, and applying them to your own individual conditions. That is the only way. Otherwise the years will pass all too swiftly, leaving you just where you are now, if not worse off, for there is no limit to the result of thought either for good or evil." -Emmet Fox-

Your Quench is never satisfied

We look, we search, we read, we listen but we still cannot see, cannot hear, cannot believe. Why is this? Habits. Unhappiness, loneliness, anger, frustration, controversy and others are all habits we have become accustom to. We bear these misgivings as a weight that we accept. We have all been contaminated by the defeatist suggestions and teachings of our elders, its no ones fault it is just the continuation of generations passing their traditions, cultures and ideas that are never questioned.
Many of us would rather listen to others who speak only about themselves and their philosophies. But when someone mentions God you turn away and dont accept. For some reason we attach a stigma to God incorporating other peoples negativity and deceptive tones into our thoughts making us believe this person is some religious nut or fanatic. If someone comes before you with the word of God and you immediately turn him away think to yourself what is the reason. Have you studied the word of God? Have you truly spent time understanding the lessons God teaches. We can all stay bitter, defensive and ignorant because this is easy. Why? Because most people are still in the dark. Trapped by their self pity, worry, anxiety, fear and stress. They cannot see a brighter future for they have not yet decided to shift their view of life. Its hard, I know. I was once a lost soul caught up in the endless noise that encircled my mind. The door was always there but my self indulges and nothing ever good happens to me attitude blinded me from ever opening that door. When you realize the Bible is a gift for mankind that teaches us to begin thinking correctly and to fill the heart and soul with Love, joy, forgiveness and peace, your life will then open up and the morning sun and evening sunsets will be more glorious then you ever imagined.
I go back to the title of this blog and relate it to one of my favorite scriptures in John 4. This is when Jesus sat with the Samaritan women at the drinking well. The conversation they had enlightens us to the powerful words Jesus speaks that if heard correctly will open many doors for those who are lost. Picture this, Jesus strolls into town, its hot from the desert sun and he's thirsty. He walks over to the well and sits down. He's tired and beat. A Samaritan women walks over to get some water for herself and Jesus says, "Please can you give me a drink." Imagine that, the son of God asking you for a drink! The women responds," I am surprised you ask me since you are a Jewish man and I am a Samaritan women. So Jesus says,"If you only knew the free gift of God and who it is that is asking you for water, you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water." Its so cool what he says here; I'm right here in front of you, my love is free, its here whenever you want it. Ask for it and you will receive the living water, the water that clears the mind; water that fills the soul with love and peace. Jesus then goes on and says, "Everyone who drinks this water,(referring to the water man teaches with, the ideas you believe in that have not brought peace)will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give will never be thirsty. The water I give will become the spring of water pushing up inside that person, giving eternal life." If you are still thirsty and your throat is parched maybe its time to start drinking from the fountain of God.

Move to the calling of Gods Music

There is peace within all of us. Never mind the rejections of the world. It has no foundation. Sincere truth and loving faith are the sources to calm the soul when we lay are heads to rest. Call upon the Lord when troubles arise. Today is his gift to once again reclaim your freedom from the troubles that burden the spirit within. The dance is never ending; it is still going on. Release the fears and move to the sounds of grace that God has blessed upon us all. There is life in the word of God. It transcends all knowledge man has created. Defuse the triggers that click inside you-rise up above the nonsense and begin dancing the songs of joy that will lead to salvation.

Somewhere between who I am and who I used to be

Where are you now? What point of life are you at? Are you beginning to question what life is all about? Do you feel caught in the middle? Somewhere between moving forward or moving backward. This feeling is the calling of your spirit. It is climbing the walls, the barriers we have created. The soul is gaining steam and while it works its way to the surface you are going through a transformation. New thoughts, views and promises begin to fill the heart; curiosity and wonder to the possibilities of how life will be if you believe and change your old ways. This tug of war to reclaim your soul is the struggle we all incur, but like everything else in life if we follow through and commit success and peace will flourish. You cannot ignore the continual knock at the door. It will never stop until you get up and open it.
"Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me." -Revelation-

The Window of Life

What window of life do we look through? So many of us stare through the glass with no hope, no dreams and no possibilities. Even if we obtain all the material luxuries life has to offer we still cannot see clearly. Our window is cracked and it reflects only pain, sorrow and confusion. It prevents our eyes from seeing the beauty of grace. It cannot see the brightness of generosity. It cannot see unexpected blessing to others as a precious treasure. It is a window that is blind to what is truly beautiful and bright and precious and God-like. It is a worldly window. It sees money and material reward as more to be desired than a beautiful display of free, gracious, God-like generosity.

If you are tired of looking through a window that is splintered begin reversing your thoughts from earthly views and fix your heart on the values of God; righteousness, peace and love. Make sure these precious values are your anthem instead of the world’s values. When you begin looking through the window this way you will be full of light, full of promise. If you don’t change your ways the light you think you are seeing, which is all the materialistic and self indulgent attractions, is in reality all darkness. Just look what has happened around the world; people have become a slave to money. Their happiness they think is based on a foundation of a numerical value. The fear has grown so large that it has paralyzed many from moving forward and enjoying life.

Don’t you think it’s time for a change? Harness your strength and conviction towards a more loving and enthusiastic attitude. If you are in the midst of a struggle today, hang on. Keep steadfast in your faith, because your trials won't last forever. And you will come out on the other side a better person, one who is better equipped to handle the strains and stresses each of us inevitably face. So if you still are emotionally drawn to the material things of life and the news of the world begin to pray that God will provide a new window; one that sees the beauty and splendor of the possibilities that lye within us all.

A New York Giants Football Legend

This blog is about a football player I met over 30 years ago. I write this because in a section of my blog under feel good news is a headline that Brad Van Pelt suddenly died. Who is Brad Van Pelt? Some of you may know him and some may not but he was an NFL player for the New York Giants. I met him in 1974 at a football camp and was able to spend 3 days with him. Maybe not a big deal to many of you but for a ten year old boy who loved football it was a dream come true. Mr. Van Pelt was only in his second season but I new him and followed him. He was my boy hood idol. When I watched the games i would search out his number 10 jersey and cheer him on. I was saddened to hear about his death but the memories of those few days resurfaced and took me back to when I was a boy. I could smell the grass and hear the whistles of the coaches. I can see Mr. Van Pelt throwing me the football, running sprints and catching passes from Craig Morton, another NFL player. It was a few days of my life that to this day, still brings me joy, laughter and excitement. I don't know if kids today get to experience one on one time with professional athletes and if not its a shame. But for me I feel blessed that this man spent time with me; holding my hand, putting me on his shoulders and really caring about who I was. I'm sure he never would remember me but that's OK for today he stills brings a smile to a 44 year old man who cherishes those few days as a young boy. Number 10 will always be Brad Van Pelt, outside linebacker, New York Giants.
