Peace is the result of retraining your mind to process life as it is, rather than as you think it should be. Wayne W. Dyer

Never Apologize For Being Correct
“Many people, especially ignorant people, want to punish you for speaking the truth. For being correct. For being you. Never apologize for being correct, or for being years ahead of your time. If you’re right and you know it, speak your mind. Speak your mind. Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is still the truth.” ~Mohandas Gandhi
We can’t find our path without getting messy
“We can’t find our path without getting messy. Messy comes with the territory. We came in messy. We learn messy. We love messy. We grow messy. I never found my way to clarity without first befriending confusion, in all its chaotic forms. I never found a path that felt like home before falling into quick-sand. I never established a new way of being without trying the wrong way of being on for size. I never found the light without stumbling around in the dark. Not that all messiness is good messiness, but some of it is. In the heart of the chaos, is the clay that shapes us home. Chaotic Magnificence!” — Jeff Brown
I hafta say, I don’t think it needs to get messy, but when it does, it helps to read that this is what happens when I am not continually mindful. Good reminder when I begin to think I know it all.
Become transparent. Show the world you walk your talk—and when you don’t, what went wrong. Show the world your flaws.
Spiritual brother Wayne Wirs writes: “Personally, I don’t want to live my life as a hypocrite—or worse, die as one—so I strive for transparency in my blog. I don’t want to preach A while living B. If you consider yourself a spiritual student or authority, even if you have no interest in becoming a teacher, I strongly urge you to start a blog, or if you have one, to intersperse your “teaching posts” with personal posts. You’ll be amazed at how humbling and eye opening the experience can be. Become transparent. Show the world you walk your talk—and when you don’t, what went wrong. Show the world your flaws.” Continue reading
Your small words can make a giant difference to someone
“If you don’t find God in the next person you meet, don’t waste time looking for him further” ~ Gandhi
I finally have all the ick programs uninstalled from the laptop. Remind friends to (1) don’t install programs on your computer and (2) if they do it anyway, tell them to not let all the peripherals automatically install with it and (3) when they do it all anyway — because what do they care, it’s not their computer — remember to check and uninstall them yourself.
