Is Life Always Broken?
Posted on January 31, 2011 Leave a Comment
Is life always broken? Well, yes and no! In one sense, life is broken in that it has a beginning and end. It’s broken into states of being awake and sleep. But, it’s not broken in the sense that we are either alive or not! Let me explain what inspired the question in the title.
Are You Longing For Lifelong Learning?

So when do you stop learning? Are you a life-long learner? Have you grown up resisting learning? Is learning something you dread? Do you avoid learning whenever possible?
I think many people would give some “negative-leaning” answers to previous five questions.
Why Affirmations For Positive Change?
Posted on January 24, 2011 3 Comments
In a recent post on change, I made reference to affirmations. I mentioned that if you want to change, one way of doing so is to visualize your change, make what you visualize into an affirmation, and repeat the affirmation over and over and over… For this post, I will discuss affirmations and how they can help us facilitate a personal change that we desire.
Why Not Change, For A Change?

The only thing that is constant is change! To change everything simply change your attitude! Change is inevitable! To learn means changing your mind!
These are all statements about change that I have heard and used through most of my adult life.

Are your “values” important? Are others’ values important? Most likely, everyone would answer yes to the previous questions. For this post I will concentrate on the values of others and how important it is for us to know them.
(B) Born-Again Christian And An Agnostic – Why Dialogue?
Posted on January 13, 2011 1 Comment
The following is fiction, but loosely based on actual correspondences between a Born Again Christian and an Agnostic. In this dialogue between the two, I have named the Born Again Christian, Bac and the Agnostic, Ag. My intention with the post is to present a civil dialogue between two different thinking systems about God and religion. There is no intention for this to be a debate in which there is a “winner.”

Mercy of what? Of now? What does that mean? Aren’t we at the mercy of fate? Do we have any control over our future?
When Death Is Present, How Can I Be Present In The Present?
Posted on December 30, 2010 1 Comment
Recently, I helped plan a “Celebration Of Life” for a friend who had died. Though her death wasn’t sudden – she had battled cancer for many years – I wasn’t prepared for the over-powering feeling that her death had on me. I found it difficult to concentrate on living in the present when her presence was no longer with us.
