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.

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.”

Consider This

We are not the thinker. We are the channels through which thoughts are manifest in the physical world. Evidence of this is seen in our ability to accept or reject any thought we attract to us. By the thoughts we choose to accept, impressing them upon Universal Intelligence, we create our physical experience.

Once we accept and understand this we are able to switch to becoming the observer of thoughts giving us power over them. There is a realization that there is a Life Power beyond thought from which all things come and thought is but a microbial part of this Power. It opens to us a world of opportunity by which we are able to select only those thoughts which support the physical experience we wish to manifest for the expansion and betterment of all.

It is important to understand this Life Power is impersonal and impartial. It will deliver whatever thought patterns we impress upon it whether they be positive or negative. We must select and guard our thoughts carefully. Any contrary thoughts to our worthy ideals accepted, being absorbed into the subconscious, will hinder progress and have potential to severely retard our results.

Here is a worthwhile exercise you may want to adopt. Although it sounds as if it may take a long time to execute it really only takes a few seconds or less.

Visualize in your mind an empty room. Along one wall are any number of chairs, each one representing a thought you have surrounding you worthy ideal. Select each thought individually. Ask each one to stand up in turn and answer this one question.
"How will you move me forward? "

By the process of elimination select only the thought which best supports your worthy ideal. Thank the other thoughts and dismiss them.

Thoughts Are Things
I hold it true that thoughts are things;
They're endowed with bodies and breath and wings;
And that we send them forth to fill
The world with good results, or ill.

That which we call our secret thought
Speeds forth to earth's remotest spot,
Leaving its blessings or it's woes
Like tracks behind it as it goes.

We build our future, thought by thought,
For good or ill, yet know it not.
Yet, so the universe was wrought.
Thought is another name for fate;
Choose, then, thy destiny and wait.
For love brings love and hate brings hate.
Henry Van Dyke




My mission - purpose - is to assist others to achieve a higher quality of life and understanding - realizing their passions and purpose in life through gaining clarity of thought and definiteness of purpose.
