Cynicism is a cinch

Thumbnail image for Cynicism is a cinch by Brooke Leigh Sheldon June 29, 2011

I have come to a realization. Cynicism is a cinch! Perhaps you know some people who are true masters of cynicism. Let me help you identify them. They are pretty easy to recognize. They may say things like: “It won’t work!” “You can’t do it.” “No. It’s impossible.” “You’ll never do be able to.” “We [...]

Passion

Thumbnail image for Passion by Brooke Leigh Sheldon June 15, 2011

I am in perpetual motion whether in ideas or actions. For me, I have come to recognize that I live much of my life in a state of “Passion”. That’s right, passion. I bring it to the projects I embrace, to the learning I search for and to the research I stride into. I bring [...]

The Shortcut

Thumbnail image for The Shortcut by Brooke Leigh Sheldon May 18, 2011

We all have to pull our thoughts together sometimes. We have to wander in our heads to find the correct road to the destination within us where our answers are awaiting. I have discovered a short cut. I can’t say my short cut will work for you. I don’t know the inner journeys you take [...]

The Climax of Anticipation

                    The thrill of anticipation can grab you captive in exhilaration. The excitement when what you’ve waited for is almost yours, hanging you spellbound. We know these feelings. They are elating. Yet, we have become accustomed to having things immediately. We have become so matter-of-fact about [...]

The Art Of Brushing Teeth Or A Point Of Entry Into Eternity

Thumbnail image for The Art Of Brushing Teeth Or A Point Of Entry Into Eternity by Paresh Chandra Mangaraj October 13, 2010

This morning, a strange thing happened. While I was going through an otherwise excellent article by friend Pudugram on body, mind and soul; some of his words, which he remarked no doubt jocularly, jumped off the page at me and immediately I was overcome with a swarm of emotions. I am quoting those words. “I [...]

Somewhere in you is an artist. Somewhere in your life is an artist that you can appreciate and support. What is always important is that we take the opportunity to express the artist within and to understand and support the artists in our lives. And when we make the choice to criticize we need to be honest enough with ourselves to understand from where the criticism arises. For the art that is created is an expression of the interior landscape of the person who created the art and there is no criticism of that expression that does not become a criticism of the human being.

The great mystery …

Have you ever found yourself in love with someone who does not love you? This is a painful place to ponder, for no matter how many people surround you in your life, on this wounded wayfare you are forced to wander alone. Rejection. Loss. Hurt. Pain.

As Go Daddy founder Bob Parsons says in his Rules For Success, “We’re not here for a long time. We’re here for a good time!” There’s no place in your world that you go where you intend to spend eternity. Not even… here. Music:  Kevin McLeod Please share this story!

Leftover

I talk to you all the time about the moments that count. However, I understand there are a lot of you out there who think that a bunch of your moments do not count for as much as you’d like them to. So you’ve asked me if, well, you can store them somewhere to use [...]
