Word of the Week

I introduced the Word of the Week to help us improve our working knowledge of the English language. Your part if you choose to participate is to be aware of and use each word for the entire week whenever the opportunity presents itself. This way we will all increase our vocabulary and our knowledge of the English language supplying us with a very effective tool to utilize on our road to success.

temerity

te·mer·i·ty /təˈmerəti/ noun

the quality of being confident and unafraid of danger or punishment.

From a poem entitled “It’s No Surprise”

“Eyes exuding sincerity,

understanding, temerity,

is why I love you.”

Blowing in the Wind

I am reminded of a song that contains the lyrics; “The answer is blowing in the wind.”
Too many of us are searching “out there” for answers to life and day to day problems we
face. We look to friends, institutions, government, gurus and books. Some may even
look to the entertainment world for answers to “what’s wrong” and how to solve it.
This is not to say some valuable information and insight cannot be found in these places
but it is not the place or the information gathered there that will supply the answers we
seek. It is how we internalize this information, our thought process surrounding the
information. All our problems are solved or fed from the inside. The answer lies within.
Outside information is simply a tool and nothing more. These tools must be used to build
new blueprints, behaviors, not just surface thoughts and wishful thinking for man does
not become what he wishes but that which he truly harbors in his heart.
The answer my friend is found within. It can be no other way.

Your own thoughts, desires, and aspirations comprise your world, and, to you, all that
there is in the universe of beauty and joy and bliss, or of ugliness and sorrow and pain,
are contained within yourself. By your own thoughts you make or mar your life, your
world, your universe.
James Allen
