How long does it take to go around the earth? Do you know?

Science tells us that with the speed of light, it takes 186,000 miles per second and therefore, takes seven seconds. Quite amazing.

There are times when we meet friends who they ask questions about their lives. For instance, someone who’s going through some trouble or tribulation, may ask the question, “Why is this happening to me? Why do I have to suffer?” and often, a person listens and tries to give them an answer. The listener may want to perhaps make them feel better and say, “Well, this is something that you need to go through. Maybe, because this will make you a better person. Let me make a suggestion.”

Science teaches us that when light is emitted, it is actually fragmented and therefore goes everywhere. It travels literally everywhere. It’s not focused and it’s not contained; but by focusing the light, by taking it and putting it into a light of energy, we can create something which is called laser. A laser is where all the light is able to be put in one container, one focused path, and with that, it becomes so powerful that we can even do surgery with it. Quite amazing.

I’m sure you’ve had the opportunity to use an email address.

Imagine though for a moment if in the email address, instead of putting the .com or .net, you would just decide to omit the dot and not use it. What would happen? Well, simply put, the message will never be delivered. Now, you might ask, what is a dot? Why wouldn’t the internet understand that this dot is useless? Although I’m not an expert in this field, it’s well understood that in order for the email to be sent and received properly, it has to have the exact address. It has to have all of the details including the dot. You cannot omit it. Even though it may seem insignificant or useless, or superfluous, you can’t omit it.

People are different. Each and every one of us is unique, not only in the way that we were created but also in the way that we live our lives, the way we view the world, and the problem is not the difference – that is reality. The problem is how we view each other and certainly, each other’s differences.

Now, it is good to be thankful for what you have in life and what you’ve accomplished and if you open your eyes to a broader, larger picture, you will appreciate the fruits of life, but you first have to appreciate the tree that bears the fruit, and this is birth itself.

Recently, I had a discussion with someone and we were speaking about a different approach that we should take in order to organize a business plan. It is interesting that in the language that was used on the email I received, it listed it as a “plan of attack.” Now, those two words were incompatible. A plan is something that someone proposes in order to move forward, upward, to make things better, enliven them, make them even more productive. On the other hand, the word attack is negative. It propose to destroy, demolish. So I wanted to change those two words to strategic development or use the same word as plan, just take the word attack.

Everyday each and every one of us faces two choices, to be less than we were designed to be or to be all that we were designed to be. 

I would like to share with you some information, something personal.

I have a grandchild who at his young age had to go on a sleepover and he was concerned, he was worried. Sleeping over when you’re young at someone else’s house is not so simple. What does it take to achieve a personal success? It’s more than an exercise and a discipline; it’s also an exercise in courage.

I would like to share with you something which is very close to my heart which some of you may be able to relate to. How many times in our lives do we hesitate to follow our dreams because of what everybody might think, when in fact, they truly could care less? As one writer said, “You wouldn’t worry so much what everybody thought of you if you knew how seldom they did.” It’s interesting.
