More Presence

All negativity is caused by an accumulation of psychological time and the denial of the present.
Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry, and certainly all forms of fear--are caused by too much future-- and not enough presence.
Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness, and all forms of non-forgiveness-- are caused by too much past--and not enough presence.


Eckert Tolle

Pull Ups

Do Pull-ups

Pull-ups are one of the most important exercises.
If you can somehow find a way to do pull-ups and push ups in your house, then you have one of the best workouts you can do.

The power behind these body weight super moves:
You have to lift your whole body.

You show your true strength if you can do a pull-up because of all the muscles that are involved in the movement.

Secret Ambition

SECRET AMBITION Words and Music by Michael W. Smith

Young man up on the hillside
Teaching new ways
Each word winning them over
Each heart a kindled flame

Old men watch from the outside
Guarding their prey
Threatened by the voice of the paragon
Leading their lambs away
Leading them far away

Chorus:
Nobody knew His secret ambition
Nobody knew His claim to fame
He broke the old rules steeped in tradition
He tore the Holy Veil away
Questioning those in powerful position
Running to those who called His name
(But) Nobody knew His secret ambition
Was to give His life away

His rage shaking the temple
His word to the wise
His hand healing on the seventh day
His love wearing no disguise
Some say Death to the radical
He's way out of line
Some say "Praise be the miracle"
God sends a blessed sign
A blessed sign for troubled times

Chorus:
Nobody knew His secret ambition
Nobody knew His claim to fame
He broke the old rules steeped in tradition
He tore the Holy Veil away
Questioning those in powerful position
Running to those who called His name
(But) Nobody knew His secret ambition
Was to give His life away

Self Meditation 54

Do you really want to be happy?

Just pay attention and be kind, unconditionally kind, on this breath alone.
No matter what the circumstances, just be kind.
Everything else will work itself out.

Healthy Eating Tip 30

Switch to whole grains.
You can get almost anything made with whole grains now.
No more excuses.

An Indominable Will

Strength does not come from physical capacity.
It comes from an indomitable will.
