God does work with those

who say " Use Me as You will " and then do not add any terms or conditions concerning how He is to use them.

When you put no conditions on God, He seems to become most creative and extremely generous.

I do feel far more motivated

I've spent a great deal of time being a motivated thinker this afternoon.

Are you invested in other individuals?

Do the lives of individuals really matter to you? Do you rejoice when they rejoice and mourn when they mourn?  Do others have that same type of access to you?

Openness, vulnerability and access make us more our neighbor's neighbor!

Options and Choices

God's way of showing us that we are not stuck in molasses concerning the way we are living at this very second!

There are ways to get things done ...

quite often , I find that I am stuck in  inaction because I will not simply get into action.

The best way to improve yourself as a writer ...

is to write. That simple truth impels me on days such as today.

How about " Yes, I can" as a motivating mantra ...

for America's poorest, most afflicted, most disadvantaged, overwhelmed and lost citizens.

I passionately believe that we need to figure out methodologies to get people to see their abilities, capacities, talents and gifts and how to make the most of them in order to live more effectively, prosperously and delightfully.

 People are individuals and people gain the most satisfaction when they know that they matter to individuals and are considered significant and valuable by those same individuals. They are also taught that they can gain practical self-esteem and self- respect by acting to invest in the lives of other individuals.

What will it take for our society to see this as the best and most worthwhile way to bring about lasting HOPE and CHANGE in the lives of those who presently feel the most disconnected from believing in an EXCITING FUTURE and actually experiencing a today and tomorrow that they can revel in?
