DISROBING IN TIMENothing is easy, but to tell the truth. The truth of what I see and feel. This somehow cleanses my eye and it becomes clear what to do.In my pain I forget to admit what is true and things get worse.  Because I don't want to be sad, I don't admit that I already am. Then I feel like I'm drowning.Because I don't want things to change, I don't admit that they already have. Then I feel like the wheel of life is tearing me apart. The greatest power we have when feeling powerless is to admit what is already true.  Then the stepping stones of Eternity rise out of the mud, showing us where to go.  Poem by Mark NepoREFLECTION:Are you able to admit what is true?Cleanse your eyes of what you see and feel with the truth.Do you have a new clarity of what to do?

If we are made in the image of God... what if we are a 1000 watt soul receptacle and only using a 40 watt bulb?My interpretation of a question posed by Sheila Heen during an interview with Tim Ferriss.REFLECTION:Reflect on and further explore this question.

"With everything that has happened to you, you can either feel sorry for yourself, or treat what has happened as a gift.  Everything is either an opportunity to grow, or an obstacle to keep you from growing.  You get to choose."Quote by Wayne DyerWayne Walter Dyer was an American self-help and spiritual author and a motivational speaker. He wrote more than 40 book, 21 of them on NYT Best Sellers list.  His books include: Your Erroneous Zones, Manifest Your Destiny, the Power of Intention and many more.REFLECTION:What "failures" have you had that still haunt you?What is something that you previously viewed as a failure but now see as a necessary part of your journey?Is there some form of error you are currently experiencing that you can see differently? Write about it.
