By Byron Pulsifer, © 2011
 
On occasion, certain memories flash back into my consciousness. I do not know what precipitates these memories although it may be something as simple as certain billboards with some words of wisdom by a notable author or speaker, or maybe it is as simple as a person who reminds me of days gone by.

Are You Holding Someone Back?
By Byron Pulsifer © 2011
 
Are you guilty of holding someone back from accomplishing, or doing, or developing as they should, or could? Good Question, isn't it?

STORY for Your WEEK
Believing In Your Dreams
By Byron Pulsifer
 
Do you dream? For most people, dreams come at night and some of them we remember and a lot we don't. There is a difference though between a dream occurring during our sleep and those dreams we have when we are awake. I recently read a quote by Louisa May Alcott that said, "We all have our own life to pursue, our own kind of dream to be weaving. And we all have some power to make wishes come true, as long as we keep believing."
 
Her words reminded me of a story about a man who had a dream; a dream that became his . . .

"Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it."

STORY for Your WEEK
By Byron Pulsifer, © 2011
 
There is no doubt that our modern day lives are filled with demands on our time and that we are usually hurrying here and there trying to fit all of these activities into a normal day. There are times when we just want to get through with something so we can go on to the next without really enjoying any aspect of our day.
 
So, what are we doing to ourselves? Do you realize that we . . .

STORY for Your WEEK
By Byron Pulsifer, © 2011
 
For those who think that they are owed a living, a better job, or a bigger home or a flashy new vehicle, I have some bad news. That bad news is that you are not owed any in life. And, for those who think that they are not lucky and that is the reason others are getting ahead, I also have some bad news. The real facts are these: luck is what you make yourself, and that luck comes from being prepared to take advantage of opportunities that are available.
 
Unfortunately, there is something that is going around and you must ensure that you . . . . .
 
 
ART for Your Week
"To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!"
Ralph Waldo Emerson
