I know that the global economy is in a rickety state – but how on earth does it help anyone to show hour after hour, day after day, week after week of negative news that cannot make a difference in anyone’s world? (Unless it’s to make them even more fearful than they already are!)Please take a few minutes (well, 15 minutes if you don’t mind!) to watch a portion of a video of a talk by the world-renowned Dr. Wayne D. Dyer, who wrote “The Power of Intention”. This video has some real gems in it, but for the purposes of this post, I’d like you to fast forward to the 26m:30s point, and watch the next 15 minute segment, and I hope it uplifts you like it did me. (The whole video is over 2 hours.)

Yes, things are tough, but we can all make a positive contribution to our own lives with the power of our intention and desire to improve our lives.

Watch the video:

It’s not the best sound or picture quality, but turn your speakers or headset up at the appropriate point, and enjoy it

Wishing you abundance and a good life!

Some of us get to the stage in life where we need to find out what it is that we’re on this planet for, or what the purpose or meaning of our life is. I have been heading towards that point for a couple of years, and I think it has now hit me: I need to really find out what it is that gives me joy. What is it that makes me leap up each morning and love the day? What is it that will keep me going when times are tough or uncertain, and my path may not seem too clear?

I have been reading the book Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl, a WWII concentration camp survivor. It’s rare for me to make notes in a book, but this one compelled me to – there were some very deep thoughts to go back to.

“It is spiritual freedom – which cannot be taken away – that makes life meaningful and purposeful”

and

He who knows the “why” for his existence, will be able to bear almost any “how”

What amazed me were the stories of how people survived the most horrendous experiences – because they had something to live for… even if that “something” was only in their mind! It’s proof, if proof is indeed needed, of the power of positive thoughts in our lives.

No matter what may happen or fail to happen, life is what you choose to make it. Choose again and again, in every situation, to make it great.
