Finding Your Own Personal Legend

Written by Joe White

 As the holidays roll around, I plan for my annual deposit at the bank of Amazon.com. I pull out my gift list and match up who should receive what book. One of the greatest gifts you can give anyone is the gift of wisdom, and books offer an unlimited amount of it. One of my favorite books, to read and give away, is Paulo Ceolho’s The Alchemist. I won’t give the story away, but it is a story of a young shepherd who is on a quest for his personal legend. A personal legend is what you seek out that defines your life, passion, and purpose.

Peace

Written by Ruth Cherry, PhD,

     When I walked into church on Sunday, the small congregation was singing, “Peace will fill the world when we finally understand that only from within can it spread throughout the land.” Peace isn’t an external matter that can be legislated and enforced.  Peace is a way of being­-–in harmony with ourselves, with others, and with the physical planet.

A Message For Teens: 5 Insights For Your Journey In Life.

Written by Joe White

I remember as a teen hearing this quote, "youth is wasted on the young". It sounded good at the time but to be honest, I didn't fully appreciate its message back then. It is easy to live for the moment without understanding the power of what we have in our hands. Whether or not we realize it when we are young, youth has the advantage of opportunity without the awareness of experience.  When we are young, there are endless possibilities and while we may see the possibilities we don’t always know how to realize them.   Quite the oxymoron. Having the ability "to" without the understanding of "how". The punch line or final irony is that by the time we figure it all out we are so ingrained in our ways that it becomes very difficult to change. Ergo the purpose of this article. To help you, the youth, to understand the "how" when you can still say as the Rolling Stones sung, “time is on my side".

Just Do It! 8 Steps To Transform Your Life

Written by Joe White

It sounds simple doesn’t it? Just do it! Nike’s famed line, a battle cry for transformation. Yet if you have ever been stuck in neutral, saying, “just do it” is about effective as going to the casino to win enough money to make your monthly mortgage payment. There is truth and power in the phrase but not a solution. All to often we buy a book, get an inspiring email, or watch a movie about a secret and think; “now my life will change”. The truth of the matter is nothing ever will change until you change it. Today we will learn not only why we fail to change it but also how to effectively change. I must warn you. To do so takes courage, honesty, and faith. Are you ready?
