I can, and I do. 


I can, and I do. 

In everything I set out to achieve, I am always focused on doing my very best.

I have the power to succeed within me; it is part of who I am and runs through everything I do. My power is unstoppable.12386430866?profile=RESIZE_400x

I know in my soul that I have the ability to meet my goals and to exceed them. My goal is just the beginning of my full potential, and I constantly amaze myself at all I can achieve. 

I can achieve anything, and I do every time I try.

I see that the responsibility for my life lies with me. I am the only one who can build and create the life I dream of. My future is in my hands, and I am responsible for my own happiness.

This is a concept that excites me. I see potential all around me in everything I do, and I make a choice to grab this with both hands. 

My life is within…

My Past No Longer Dictates My Future


My past no longer dictates my future.  

I have grown from past experiences. The hardships from years past have molded me into the strong, independent individual I am today. 

I am thankful for the necessary life lessons my past mistakes teach me. Mistakes are a part of life,12385490064?profile=RESIZE_710x and personal experience is truly the best way to learn. I now enjoy wisdom because of my past mistakes. 

My decisions in the past are irrelevant to the person I wish to become. My future is in my hands. I am the master of what I do with my life and the approach I take in order to reach my goals. 

The future is a…

There is No Excuse for Failure Anymore


We are in a period of time where, for many years, there have been legitimate reasons for people to think their goals were unattainable. But that has been forever altered, and the excuses we once clung to have dissipated with myriad solutions and options available to us. 

It does not matter what goal you have been striving to reach –financial success, weight loss, or something else – you have what you need now to get things done, as long as you are willing to do them. 

If you think about it, this has always been true. The biggest obstacle to our success is us. Our mindset, our refusal to find the answers and consistently do the work is what holds us back. 

But instead of accepting responsibility, we tend…

Dehydrating String Beans


I am experimenting with a new way of dehydrating string beans for long-term storage. I have always used electric dehydrators to preserve my fruits and vegetables. Since 2011, I have been using this method of food preservation, and it has worked well. Dehydrating food has many advantages. The main advantages are buying in bulk and when the item is at a low price.

I am always trying to improve production and lower costs. This year, I made a solar dehydrator. It was a great success on both counts. The only disadvantage is that it is limited to the summer months.  Researching how to dehydrate my foods without electricity I read about using a needle and thread to accomplish this. …12290421695?profile=RESIZE_584x

Kaizen is 'continuous improvement' and is a popular subject among businesses and managers. Kaizen means that the best way to affect significant change in an organization is to encourage lots of small, incremental changes that can improve workflow, profit margins, and everything else. By continually improving in small ways, you can create change throughout your whole business, resulting in much more efficient and effective operations.9410126664?profile=RESIZE_400x

But kaizen works best when it is applied at the individual level. In other words, if you can help your staff work better on their own and improve the way they approach problems and their regular workload, you can make your entire organization more effective. A chain is as strong as its weakest link, and a business is the sum of its employees.…

If you genuinely want to be your best and have a happy and healthy life, you need to learn how to set boundaries. Boundaries are being clear about what your limits are, and they are necessary to ensure you don't get overwhelmed by the demands of other people. Without limitations, you are likely to be overburdened, stressed, and resentful, and it is up to you to set and maintain your limits.  You are the only one responsible for your happiness and…

"Peace of Mind includes all other good things.
The past few weeks have been abundantly full of Gods provisions, the fruits of doing extra and continuing to have faith and trust in Gods direction has put me on a path that has begun.   It feels like I am on a ride at an amusement park.   It's fun and adventurous.  I don't know what's in store yet but I am excited knowing that if I keep doing the work it only will get more exciting.

"They Strive
 Every time I have read “The One Thing That Matters” I have been aware of the word strive. Today I thought you never put much emphasis on the word strive. You better look that up.
Strive verb

make great efforts to achieve or obtain something.

My awareness was correct. When I read this, I need to put more feeling into the word strive.
“Make great efforts” means that we put our attention, talents, and energy into accomplishing a desired result. Emmet is telling us that our focus is…"

"When I was driving out to this commitment tonight. I started to feel people in my life that trade there time for peace of mind through drugs and alcohol and lost there life. It hit me. I could be right there with them.  What I did to find peace of mind through all different avenue. Never using God as a solution  to  over come the beasts of madness, fear , sadness, anger that was in my DEN.  My DEN can feel sometimes like a deep pit and can be overwhelming and tiresome.  Then I want to fight my…"

Rather I was upset I did not do anything but the class work yesterday.  I am glad I had…"

Alchemy of “The Last Thing That People Work For”
I was listening to someone talk about how they were a failure because they could only find Peace of Mind for a 20-minute stretch. They said they were a failure because they could not hold onto Peace of Mind forever.  
The Alchemists see the 20-minute stretch as a success. They take notes of their starting points, which were brief moments of serenity. Purifying their thoughts from brief moments to a 20-minute segment of Peace of Mind is a huge…"

"And truly, peace of mind is the one thingthat matters.
 
Today when my body woke up, my thought was Peace of Mind,  I am reading my morning routine and it talked about getting centered in God- I can solve nothing when agitated, I should not get tipped over by emotional upsets,  I pray that I may not argue or contend.
 
These things are right In line to what we read here of Peace of Mind.  It is all channeling and coming back to Peace of Mind and staying Grounded in God.   Four months ago - I…"

"I fell asleep last night listening to Emmet Fox.   I awoke at some point just as the Wonder Child was starting.  It spoke in the beginning about us not recognizing the person we were just a short time ago and then of Peace of Soul towards the end.
What in life could go wrong after obtaining Peace of Soul it asks.  We're gaining Peace of Soul through this exercise.
God woke me up just to hear the Wonder Child last night.  "

"All Will Be Well
Gratitude is “All Is Well.” Kevin tells us how all is well in his day by highlighting at least one thing that is well in his life. He exercises his gratitude muscle.
When things are repeated, my mind thinks about them more. If I am searching for Peace of Mind, I must choose my inner circle with purpose.
The past week I have been reading “The One Thing That Matters” and looking for how Emmet Fox brings gratitude into the conversation. He presents the case of looking for the…"

The only thing that matters is right now. I brought my thinking back to the present moment to make the most out of what is happening right now. Tomorrow is not gaurenteed for me. Growth is now.

"The living dead. When they stop breathing, it is just a formality, for they have died long ago.
I want to follow my heart's desires. This requires me to choose the people I associate with carefully.
Most people have chosen to stop living their true heart's desire based on what society tells them. They have let society tell them what their heart's desire is instead of following their own heart's desire, which God has imprinted on their DNA.
Looking back on the Good Ole Days, let us blame the…"

"I was listening to a meeting this morning, preoccupied with some upsetting developments at work. I kept trying to just listen for the message from god. The speaker is a close friend of mine so I l've heard him speak before. He was talking about the suicide of a friend across the street and his father's sudden death. And it hit me. Some people talk about remembering their very first drink. I remember the exact day I fired god. It took 36 years to turn my will back over to a god who never left me."

The hand of God at work.
Last night, I was going to meet with a group of friends. I walked in, took a seat near Chris, and asked her how she was doing. She smiled and said, “Great since I saw you.” We talked about how we change the atmosphere when entering a room.
I think nothing of this. I do not see the hand of God at work.
As the evening progressed, I felt a little discontented with our group. I do not refer to my conversation with Chris.…"
