11. Day 2: The Language Of Success
I am at the “just noticing” stage of my fear of success. One of the things that drew my attention was the language of success. The words you use to describe success, the attitude behind success or the results of success all have a familiar ring. There are certain qualities we tend to think of when we contemplate success, either our own or another’s. It is not just a goal has been met (though that is part of it), or money has been made (thought this is a common measure) or that it is recognized (again, this often feels a part of this process called success). Because I am...

I must confess that I feel a bit naughty or selfish even choosing joy, or living joy. I mean, there is still so much pain and suffering in the world at large and even in my local vision (the homeless man outside the SPA Grocery selling a magazine). Why do I get to be full of joy if there is still pain? This has actually been a question that has plagued me in many ways for years.

I just need to return again and again to my heart, where God-IS-Love resides to realize I am already...

The gift of terrorism is that the horror must be faced. In its immediate aftermath there is a tear in the fabric of society and its dogmas, rules and perspective that is rent clean open. Through that rent a great gust of honesty bellows through and we all come face to face with what IS whether we like it or not. When the attacks on September 11, 2001 occurred a great honesty was unleashed across the globe. Those who committed the attacks were angry, hurt and desperate–now we all knew this for certain, even if we knew not what to do about it. Through that wretched honesty came our...
