Are You Entitled Or Worthy?
(By Staci Backauskas) When I was a kid, I remember a friend of my brother’s getting diagnosed with Osgood-Schlatter disease. His bones were growing too fast for his body and it caused excruciating pain in his knees. Recently, the growth I’ve experienced feels too big for my heart, like Osgood-Schlatter of the soul. When my girlfriend called me selfish for always driving 20 miles to pick her up so we could spend time together, my default was to defend myself. I was being kind, caring, considerate. Didn’t I lend her my car on Saturdays to do her errands? Selfish? What in the world was she talking about? ”You wanted me where you wanted me, Staci,” she said. “If I wanted to be there, I know how to take the bus.”(click on the link to read full article: http://wisdomalacarte.net/blog/are-you-entitled-or-worthy/2010/07/)

Be Who You Are – Staying True to Yourself
(By MJ Schrader) Who are you? Not your name, your birth sign, your parents, your address or your job. Those are just facts and figures, they are not the ideas, thoughts, hopes and dreams that create the unique person that is the one and only YOU. What makes your heart soar? What disappoints you? What gives you energy? What do you wish you could improve? (click on the link to read full article: http://wisdomalacarte.net/blog/be-who-you-are-staying-true-to-yourself/2010/06/)
Self-Esteem and Self-Talk
(By Kim K Carter) "If you find yourself struggling with issues of self-esteem, you are not alone.

Turning Change To Your Advantage
(By Rich Talbot) "No business can expect to be static and prosper for long; all need to grow and develop. Sometimes the change might be a deliberate and scheduled process – expansion or restructuring of the business; a merger or takeover; a new direction or policy; a significant personnel change pe...rhaps."

Putting my hands on the soil
Putting my hands on the soil~~~~I see how little I am!
Putting my hands on the soil~~~~I see how narrow I know!
Putting my hands on the soil~~~~I see how many things I miss!
Putting my hands on the soil~~~~I feel how awesome the universe is!
Putting my hands on the soil~~~~I feel the love of the universe (some called it as "God)!
...
So~~~~~I am humbled at the power of universe!
Because I am so little!
So~~~~~I have my head down to the universe!
Because I am so little!
