Can we talk about God?

By John Soforic on 03/05/2020

“No one knows enough to be pessimistic.“

Lesson 3-4 Reminder: Intangible Forces

I have an acorn on my desk.

It’s there to remind me to never be so arrogant as to think I know it all. When I look at this acorn, I am reminded of its potential, and I am humbled by the mysteries beyond my understanding. It keeps me open-minded to wonder.

And the greatest wonder of all is human consciousness.

Our full potential as human beings requires an open mind to the unknown. When you doubt the unknown, you doubt yourself. You have more potential within you than a tiny acorn. You have an individuality seeking full expression.

Wayne Dyer said, “No one knows enough to be a pessimist.”

If I am pessimistic of anything, it’s the idea that this Earth is a cosmic accident. How consciousness evolved from a big bang is beyond me.

It seems to me that intelligent design is more likely, and, if so, then there’s a Designer.

This Designer gave you free will, and the ability to control thoughts. And this ability gives you far more potential than anything else that was created.

Your mind is the greatest miracle. It’s the God-within. And it’s the greatest power on Earth––if you choose to focus it and control your thoughts.

Don’t let your hopes fade.

By John Soforic on 03/04/2020

” Don’t let your hopes to turn into your regrets.” – the Wealthy Gardener

Lesson 3-3 Reminder: Procrastination

Our hopes never die quickly. They just fade into someday.

Someday is an excuse to avoid the immediate discomfort of change. Someday leads to passive inaction, and the regrets of abandoning our hopes are not immediate. But the real cost of procrastination is an unlived life.

Don’t let your hopes to turn into your regrets.

Behind the defining moments of your life, you will surely look back at a decision when you took a risk and walked boldly into uncertainty. You chose to accept whatever trials you had to endure, and you were willing to bet on yourself to handle the adversity. You acted decisively, andyou lived fully.

“Somebody should tell us, right at the start of our lives, that we are dying,” said Pope Paul VI. “Then we might live life to the limit, every minute of every day. Do it! I say. Whatever you want to do, do it now! There are only so many tomorrows.”

Don’t allow your hopes to turn into your worst regrets.

Don’t let misfortunes become excuses

By John Soforic on 03/03/2020

“Sometimes we must only outlast the season.” – the Wealthy Gardener

LESSON 3-2 REMINDER: CRISIS

Wicked storms and setbacks happen in every life, but the real problem occurs when misfortunes become excuses.

There is no escaping the catastrophes of life, but all storms pass, and we must ultimately move on and regain our chosen direction.

A crisis may affect our courage and drive, may stop our momentum, may challenge our resolve, our confidence and our even our will to win.

But a tragedy is only tragic when it becomes an excuse.

When times are good, we must prepare ourselves for bad times. How do we prepare? One way is to practice stillness in solitude. Another way is to read biographies and learn that even the most enviable lives include suffering.

A Chinese proverb tells us that, “Misfortune comes to all men.” It is no reason to brood, but to prepare. Life will always have its ups and downs.

But our tragedies are only tragic when they become our excuses.
