About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I believe that most of your problems can be solved by yourself; get rid of self-pity, stop blaming your past for your present situation- the past is long gone and to dwell on it is making you a slave to something that doesn't exist anymore. I spent WAY too long doing this and finally I can see that my life can be whatever I want it to be.
Believe half of what you hear, say half of what you think, believe half of what you are taught. You have a better chance of surviving cancer without chemotherapy. Whatever physical thing you have that you are ashamed or embarrased about, every single person on this earth has the equivalent. Pick up any money you see on the ground and give it to the homeless; no matter what, you have more than them.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe (a belief being something that I KNOW is true but you don't have to agree with): God is alive and well and biding his time, and shaking his head at the mess we have made of this world in a few hundred years. His name IS Jehovah, or Yahweh, or however you want to transcribe or decipher the Name from the original writings.

I believe that whatever YOU believe is TRUE. If it's a bad belief, you can choose to change it, because all beliefs you have about yourself and the world were at some time in your life, chosen by you to be correct for YOU.
