 Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first. – Mark Twain

Now, I know that many of us are affected by the Global Economic meltdown and that most of us  naturally feel helpless when things happen beyond our control, that are not of our own volition or choosing and not directly caused by our own actions. Under such circumstances it is easy to feel as weak as a rag doll flapping in the wind. 

I have met people, who immediately lean upon the support of others, – their relatives, their friends, the government and whichever passing stranger may offer a hand. They feel “entitled” to support from other people or from outside resources without understanding a basic fact of life.  The world , however kind, does not revolve around them. People may stop and listen to your troubles for a while, lend a helping hand for a space of time, but that none but the extremely helpless deserve any more attention beyond that. Read More→

And He departed from our sight that we might return to our Heart, and there find Him. For He departed, and Behold He is here! – St. Augustine

It is that Happy time of year again – the Earth casts off its wintry blanket and the tender buds of  Spring start peeping shyly out again! It is Springtime again with the promise of warmer days and life renews in all of its forms all over the Earth.

The Message of Easter is one of pure unadulterated  joy and eternal hope – and it all started with Jesus – the Rockstar of all Ages!  Easter is about the power of life over death. It is the triumph of Good over Evil and  of a Conquering Powerful Hope over cowering Fear. 

 It is estimated that of the 60,000 or so thoughts we have per day, approx 95% are  the same  repeated thoughts that  preoccupy our minds  and for a large majority, those thoughts are often bereft of hope.  There are those who scoff at the notion of belief in the Existence of a Higher Power, but denying it does not make it vanish .

For Hope is the ultimate propeller for all our dreams  and Belief  combined with Inspired Action can make them come true.
