STATES OF BEING

I took some time off for a most inspirational weekend in Tobago. No, I have not run out of things or ideas to write.

I want to thank my readers for their comments, guidance and responses. They were all very encouraging, including the critiques.

The Bright Side
This weekend, I had the privilege to see and hear Dr. Myles Munroe.

My subsequent research on the internet revealed that he is not without his detractors.

However, I was impressed by his message. I would like to simplistically share just one aspect of his message with you.

He says that all things are capable of multiple states. That state depends on the environment.

He used the example of water (liquid). It can also be ice (solid) or steam (gaseous). Each state exhibit different visible properties but it is still just water. It is also true that in each state it possesses energy.

As steam, it may be at the pinnacle of its energy potential. It has reached its boiling point. It is hot. It can scald you. Yet in this state, it is a great source of energy – moving engines and turbines, creating other forms of energy like electricity.

Crises, he says, are boiling points and can create conditions of high potential energy. Instead of running scared or becoming depressed or frustrated, we can recognize the potential of crises to generate positive energy.

So, the next time you face a crisis, think of it in this way. Use the crisis energy constructively to overcome instead of going under.

The Light Side
Money, Money, Money!

Here is the formula for making tons of money in La La Land.

Be from up north, be a private dick available for hire (at least pretend t be) and call yourself Bub Linktwist (or something like that).

Man is easy money as you get encore after encore after encore.
