    e sure they had all of the tools they needed. But I don't have it to give, not yet anyway.

    What if I do a little bit for each and every one? They say, "Every little bit counts!" You know if all I was giving was my money, then I'd say yes. Donate money to all of those causes. But, that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about actually rolling up my sleeves and getting to work helping make the world a better place. I personally cannot fly all over the planet adding just a touch of my energy here and there. To truly create the huge changes needed to fix those problems, I would have to really give my undivided attention and focus. One hundred people giving a moment of

    How To Get Control Over Your Entire Business Online?
    Why do we need to get control over entire business?None of us starts out being an expert in any business and so in Internet business. All of us start from scratch. You also have to start from scratch. You might have so many ideas in your mind, you might learn so many techniques, but you can't afford to use all of them in a single run. You need to use one idea or technique at a time to see the result of it. If you find one single idea is working well for you, reuse it and get the confidence in using it. Then you need to see another idea or technique and in the same way see the outcome of it. Compare the results and find out which one gives you best return. Whatever
    I hate saying that. It feels so very wrong. It's not that I wouldn't like to help them. It's not that I am not appalled at what is happening over there. I have been wrestling with my guilty feelings lately. What have I done to make the world a better place? I started by taking inventory of the areas that I'd love to 'fix'. My to-do list looks like this:

    Free Tibet

    Heal the hole in the ozone layer

    Cure Cancer

    Save the endangered species

    Overhaul the public school system

    Raise my own kids

    Defend the gays and lesbians

    Teach people how to be happy

    Solve world hunger

    Find loving homes for the orphans

    Save the rainforest

    Rid the planet of pollution

    Implement a clean economical fuel system

    Design a quality inexpensive health care system

    End divorces and broken homes

    Clean out the political system

    Create world peace

    Find Atlantis and solve the mystery of the pyramids

    Scientifically prove somebody's religion is true

    Psychologically heal the inmates who want it

    End all superficial fakeness

    Save the children

    Stop racism

    Bring an end to lethargy

    Stop terrorism

    Save the coral reefs

    Change America's focus from being 'politically correct' to becoming 'spiritually correct' and I'm not talking about religion

    It all gets a bit overwhelming. How can I ever accomplish all of these things in my lifetime? Even if I delegate certain areas to my kids, and make them take a blood oath that they will force my grandkids to carry on with the work on this list until it is finished, I cannot possible hope to solve all of the world's problems. Then I got to thinking about getting up on my soapbox and preaching to everyone that they need to come help me. There is just so much that needs done and you and I both know that my list is not even complete. I would be lucky if I can do one of those things really well during my lifetime.

    I had to sit and really think about my own resources, the natural gifts I was born with, and what amount of time I want to commit to doing good deeds. I had to analyze the list and what it would really take to accomplish each of those things. What I came to realize is that there are some that I am called to do, some that I just want to do, and still others that I secretly wish someone else would do. That's not a bad thing, it is what it is. I may really want to cure cancer and other diseases, but I know that deep down I don't have any resources, skills, training, or education to apply to the problem. It's really not my job. All I can do is to support those who are meant to do that work. If I had the money, I'd dump a fortune into their pockets to make sure they had all of the tools they needed. But I don't have it to give, not yet anyway.

You have a couple of throw away names you are using, but you know the names just don’t fit the characters in question.So how do you come up with the perfect name for your characters?Simply put, this becomes a matter of personal preference that is often left up

    Johnny and Jamal: A Really Strong Story For Kids
    Johnny was a kindergartner. But his cousin Jamal was a senior in high school and a star running back on the football team. Johnny always looked up to Jamal and hoped one day that he too would be a star athlete, with his picture in the newspaper, and people talking about him on television. Everyone thought Jamal was really cool.One day after supper Jamal and Johnny were wrestling around on the living room floor. When the action slowed down and they were each catching their breath, Johnny said. “I want to be just like you when I grow up Jamal. Do you think I will be?”Jamal thought for a moment before he answered. Finally he said “Johnny, if you really wa

    Muraqaba- The Sufi Meditation By Sufi-Master Khwaja Shamsuddin Azeemi
    When we try to learn a new skill or try to gain knowledge about a specific subject, we follow a guideline or a system, which demands that we pay attention to the subject to fully understand it. Our mind becomes curious to know the where, how and what of it. When we pay attention to the minor details, that minor point itself gains value. However, when we ignore the most important part and do not pay any cognitive attention to it then even that major point loses its value and importance. Through contemplation we gain knowledge about any object and the deeper that knowledge, the more we learn about that object and its qualities.Muraqaba is the name of that contemplat

    What if I do a little bit for each and every one? They say, "Every little bit counts!" You know if all I was giving was my money, then I'd say yes. Donate money to all of those causes. But, that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about actually rolling up my sleeves and getting to work helping make the world a better place. I personally cannot fly all over the planet adding just a touch of my energy here and there. To truly create the huge changes needed to fix those problems, I would have to really give my undivided attention and focus. One hundred people giving a moment of their time is not as effective and powerful as just two or three people giving it all of their time and focus. If I am going to make a difference, then I will have to narrow the list down.

    One by one, I had to scratch off the list those things that I personally could not do. That's not to say that I won't someday be able to help finance them. For now, I have to look at what I can actually roll my sleeves up and do with my own two hands. What are my talents best used for? What is my job? I picked from the list those things that were truly deeply mine. They are all areas that I also happen to feel a personal calling to be involved in. Everything else, I have to let go and trust that someone else will recognize that they have the talents and resources to become part of the solutions. I have to trust that whoever is meant to take on those jobs will feel a calling deep in their soul and that they'll heed that calling.

    Another hard part for me is not knowing the divine plan. When bad things happen, we can sort of take comfort in knowing that there must be some divine reason. Somehow the challenges and dramas of life always lead to enlightenment, joy, new self esteem, or some other cosmic gift. Some things are meant to be. Some things are not meant to be. So, when I take that deep breath and trust that someone else is going to pick up that particular problem and give their life to solving it, I have to also make peace with the idea that it may not happen the way I would like to see it happen, or along the timeline that I'd like to see it happen. Who will free Tibet while I'm busy working on fixing these other things? Will they be saved in a timely manner? Will our government dive in to save them the way that they felt called to save other people? I can only pray that someone else picks up the baton because I cannot. Is it your job? Will you free Tibet?
