This is the first time, and, no doubt, the only time, I can say without guilt, ‘It’s not my fault!’ This Mental Diet is quite the exercise. What has really affected me is the diet includes our thoughts. That is a huge challenge and takes practice. So, while doing this diet, I am incorporating the […]
Haanel 6:19 Attention or concentration is probably the most important essential in the development of mind culture. The possibilities of attention, when properly directed, are so startling, that they would hardly appear credible to the uninitiated. The cultivation of attention is the distinguishing characteristic of every successful man or woman, and is the very highest […]
One of the exercises to practice this week is quite the challenge. Since it was first introduced to me, the first year I was involved in the Master Key Experience, I came to realize how very judgmental I am, rather, was. I had an answer for EVERYTHING, whether I was familiar with the topic or […]
As many times as I have read Og Mandino’s The Greatest Salesman in the World, one would think I should have it memorized. Yet, every time, a new thought rises from a page and sets itself apart. It is fascinating how that happens! When I was first introduced to Haanel, Mandino, the Sit, Shapes, Colors, […]
There is a wonderful Yiddish proverb that I use regularly and it seems to fit in with Haanel’s Part 3 of the Master Key System. Man plans and God laughs. “The finite cannot inform the Infinite. You are simply to say what you desire, not how you are to obtain it.” Haanel 3:27 Until I […]
Today begins Week 2 of the Master Key Experience. I listened to the webinar today. The information fell on my ears and settled in my soul as if I had never heard it before. Yet, this is my fourth year of taking the course! Is this the same journey? How could it be? My self […]
Through the Master Key Experience course, I was introduced to my future self. I admire her, want to emulate her, and really get to know her but there was something that seemed to be looming that was preventing that intimacy. What was it? I just could not put my finger on it. Then, in a […]
Another day of choices. Lord, help me to be present, in the now, making this time better than the moment before – I have no idea what is to come. All I have is NOW! The choices I make in the present may or may not be correct, but, either way, it is an opportunity […]
Not 24 hours ago, I emerged from a 62 hour Silence. What an amazing feeling to know I was inaccessible. All was peaceful and I found myself spending great lengths of time pondering my new reality, engaging with my authentic self, and stretching myself through the reading of Mandino, Haanel, and Emerson. In those hours, […]
Oh my goodness!!! I have been starring at this blank page for days, pondering TRUTH! What is it? Can, as one of my tribe said, Truth become an untruth? My mind is spinning! One of the statements I have said over and over is: Truth is truth whether it is believed or not. TRUTH is […]
