I was taught at a young age that there is no such word as "can't." I ingested that and even friends and family commented that I was willing to try anything. Later in years, I learned that there is no such thing as try. I either will or I won't!

Preceding the outer action is an inner decision. Our destiny is shaped in our moments of decision.

Another way to look at "I can," is to realize "I am capable." I can choose my heart's desires and be assured that I can attain them. Thus, I have an unlimited panorama to reach for the stars.

There are no excuses. If we sit on an excuse, we will probably only make it hatch into a batch of more excuses.

The preliminaries are easy. I can make decisions and I can choose no excuses in order to make accomplishments. Once I am this far, I can accomplish anything I desire. There is no such thing as can't, try, if. Those are only shadows and not real. The reality is, "I can choose to...!"

I can choose to enjoy life every moment. Others have asked, "How can I enjoy every moment to the fullest?" I can attain the attitude of acceptance. With that declaration, I accept that I am (enjoying every moment...).

I can be enthusiastic in everything I do. I can offer my gifts to others. I can achieve power and greatness. I can meet any circumstance with calmness. I can attain my heart's desire. I can live a healthy, full, fragrant and satisfying life. I can...

Finding the Rainbow
- Dusty Reed

"May you live all the days of your life." - Jonathan Swift

We can sometimes look back and see a portion of our lives that appear meaningless or wasted. This is not for us to determine. There may have been purpose there that we didn't understand. It is not a thought that we are to dwell upon.

Dolly Parton once said, "The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain."

In contrast, many people find pleasure in the fresh, cleansing rainfall. I see many rainbows where rain is a distance away. We can experience their beauty without getting wet.

We can enjoy living every moment of life.

Wave Vibrations
by Michael Levy

My thinker wakes-up at 5-30 am
at once I jump out of bed
with a big smile on my face
my first consideration.....
"Who can I illuminate in Joy today"
I send messages to the media
unfortunately by midday I realize
I cannot awaken anyone this morning
as their intelligence is barely operating
swamped in a..... news daze mode of fruitlessness
encased within... tides of overwhelming world anguish
By 1.00 pm I resume my communication
even though I am ignored all afternoon
I comprehend they are connected to different wave vibrations than I
however; the souls I touch are lit by a small silent spark
and await the relinquish
of ego's misconceptions...living in a sub-existence sphere
As I prepare for bedtime an echo
vibrates in my mind from an erroneous source
"Don't give help where it is not wanted"
I smile as a wave vibration transforms the echo....
If not me.......then who?
If not now.....then when?
The next morning I have my answers
I jump out of bed
with a big smile on my face
my first consideration.....
"who can I illuminate in Joy today"
