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…

"Miracles Become Commonplace
A side effect of practicing the state of Peace of Mind is a constant flow of miracles.  What are miracles.”
Miracle: an extraordinary event manifesting divine intervention in human affairs
the healing miracles described in the Gospels.
This definition does not coincide with what Jesus taught. Jesus told us that he did not have any special gifts or talents. He told us that we would do these things and still greater things.
We use miracles as an explanation for things…"

"The tragedy closes a door only to open the door to a new opportunity. Yesterday, I had a sewer line clog. I talked to the tenant and explained what we would do to resolve the issue. 
I walked through the issue with possible causes and fixes. Then it occurred to me that I may not have the resources to resolve the issue in a timely manner, and I may have to call a plumber to take care of this for me. this may be an opportunity to develop a relationship with a local plumber with a service team to…"

"I stopped in Frackville this morning and planted some potatoes. 
Now, I am waiting for the Ashland code inspector to get occupancy permits for 2 houses.
Having a garden and providing housing for people was once only a faint dream with little hope of accomplishing it.
Now it is my new normal. 
I celebrate these things with gratitude everyday. I will not place them in the routine category."

"Nothing else that life can offer is so important, and yet it seems to be about the last thing that many people work for.
For the last two weeks I’ve been on a project.   I was taught in the beginning when working on a set, everyone has their own job,  don’t touch other people’s belongings or their gear,  I come from a union background.
On this project people have been stepping in to help out in my department and aren’t asking if I want help or calling for my team to move equipment.   Or when…"

"I snapped my groin this past weekend doing my favorite exercise.  Now I won't be able to perform it for quite some time and will need rehab.   I used to fear exercise owned me at times.  This injury shows that it doesn't. I'm in a place of peace with it.  Peace of Mind includes all other good things.  My life is full today.  I'm grateful for opportunities provided me today.   I get to meet the challenge of the day using all my talents, not just physical ones.  "

"Pray definitely for yourself regularly every day, or you will get nowhere.
We are taught to pray for mercy for ourselves and pray for others and for their problems to be resolved. 
For a while, my prayer was, "God, do not let me forget this pain. I get through this problem, and I forget the pain associated with this, and I repeat the mistake. If I remember the pain, it will be easier to find a different solution."
Prayer was the Remedy"

"I am always guarded when someone preaches with their lips. They may have an agenda that does not coincide with mine. 
But when someone preaches with their actions, I am less guarded. But I still guard what I allow into my mind, for it is the most precious of my possessions. With my mind, I create my future. If I let my guard down, you are creating my future. Even if I fail it is better than creating your future in my life.

my wife and I have had several trying weeks and of course all went as well as it should.
This morning my wife and I woke to exercise - something we have dedicated ourselves to this year. I am listening to music on my headphones and stop the music to hear what my wife it is playing. It is a video blog about the 7 Day Mental Diet.

"All I ever searched for spiritually and materially in every other thing was for all troubles all doubts and fears, all sad memories, all mistakes to fade away forever, and for perfect peace and joy to come into my life.
Consistent prayer, and I mean consistent, has not been practiced.   I read here to do it faithfully and regularly.
God is your sure remedy - so pray.

"Joe Devlin was at our group on Thursday and told us that he will present on Emmet Fox's writing "Prayer is the Remedy." He picked it because it takes him deeper into "The One Thing That Matters." We talked about the different forms of prayer. 
The writing is brief and simple, but once we break it down into segments and expand on these, it will raise our Peace of Mind. I have included the text here.
Prayer is the Remedy
Remember that the one thing that matters is prayer. Time spent in prayer is…"

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…"
