Our current life situation is made up of many things. Some
we can do something about and some we can't. These articles explore avenues
of what we can
do about our Current Reality. Scroll down for an introduction to our featured articles, or

Carrying the weight of the world is overbearing. If you
assume responsibility for everyone and everything around you, you will
rapidly become a crispy critter. Besides, it doesn’t work…
Options for
Wisdom
by Jamie S. Walters. What
follows are some activities from which
I draw for my personal faith and
mindset practice. I don't do all of
these things every day but, across the
span of any given month, I endeavor to
do some combination of these
activities or disciplines regularly.
The result? Greater clarity, less time
feeling scattered…
Keys to a New
Life
by Paul Brenner, M.D., Ph.D. and Donna
Martin, M.A. When you have begun seeing through new
eyes,
it
might still appear to others that
nothing about you has changed.
However, you know inside yourself that
everything has changed.
Days Full of
Possibilities
by R. Brian Stanfield.
Possibility -- the undiluted freedom
to create and live our lives. We do
not have to approach today in the same
way as we approached yesterday. Every
week is a new week with a new set of
tasks, demands, adventures...
Have a Love
Affair with Life
by Lee Lozowick. Life
should be a grand, majestic affair -- the good, the bad, and the
indifferent. If one day is a misery, be miserable. If you're "in the pits"
one day, don't take it out on everybody else. Feel it, taste it, exude it.
If life is lousy one day, it will be great another day.
Why Your Life Sucks
by Alan Cohen.
If you are losing energy in the form of joy, health, money, or love, you
have a leak in your system. There is no malevolent parasite that has invaded
your world and is undermining you. Your leak is on your property, and as
such you have access to repair it.
When Love Feels Weird by Alan Cohen.
We can become so
used to dysfunctional relationships
that when we are finally presented
with a healthy one, it seems foreign.
Yet what is normal is often not
natural.
Freedom of Being
by Randi B. Noyes. Viktor
E. Frankl, in his book,
Man's Search for Meaning, recounts his
experiences in a concentration camp

The Ending Doesn't
Matter by Alan Cohen.
It is easy to be seduced
by the idea that how things turn out
is more important than what happens in
the process. The real question is not
"How did it turn out?" The question
is, "What happened to your spirit as
you journeyed?"
Achieving
Your Dreams
by Derek Jeter.
I was about eight years old when I
announced that I was going to play
for the Yankees. My parents could
have put me off, but instead were
receptive to my dream and talked
about what it would take to achieve
such a goal. They told me hat I
could do anything I wanted in
life...
Global Community &Universal Responsibility
by The Dalai Lama
with Fabien Ouaki. None
of us can afford to assume that
somebody else will solve our
problems; each of us must take his
or her own share of universal
responsibility. The real test of
compassion is not what we say in
abstract discussions but how we
conduct ourselves in daily life.
Becoming a
Hope-filled Optimist
by Beverly M. Breakey. Some
people attach themselves to hope-lessness

suicidal people don't want death as
much as they want the pain to stop.
Heeding the Call to Spiritreneurship
by Laurie Beth Jones.
I stood before 250 business leaders
and asked them:. "What percentage of
people would you estimate are in the
wrong jobs?" Their almost unanimous
response was "seventy percent."
Perhaps you are one of the 70%.
