Welcome to Day 1986 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Be A Realist – Daily Wisdom Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1986 of our Trek, and it's time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote and some wise words from Gramps for today's trek. Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. So we are on a daily trek to create a legacy of wisdom, seek out discernment and insights, and boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend; this is Gramps. Thanks for coming along on today's trek as we increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2016%3A16&version=NLT (Proverbs 16:16)  How much better to get wisdom than gold, and sound judgment than silver!    If you apply the words you hear today, over time, it will help you become more healthy, wealthy, and wise as you continue your daily trek of life. So let's jump right in with today's nugget: Today's quote is from Sydney J. Harris, and it is: An idealist believes the short run doesn't count. A cynic believes the long run doesn't matter. A realist believes that what is done or left undone in the short run determines the long run. Be A Realist It is so easy to get stuck in the mindset of an idealist, wishing our lives and circumstances were what we desire instead of accepting life as it is. Yet, we don't want to be a cynic, thinking that what we do does not matter long-term. Instead, a realist understands that we need to do what is required today and that it does matter while we plan, prepare, and work towards what we need to do long term. Neither the idealist nor a cynic will not be successful because they are not focused on the entire picture and refuse to accept areas they may not have control over. So, as difficult as it may be, being a realist, dealing with life as it is, and working through the obstacles is the only successful long-term path. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+12%3A10-13&version=NLT (Hebrews 12:10-13) For our earthly fathers disciplined us for a few years, doing the best they knew how. But God's discipline is always good for us, so that we might share in his holiness. No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening—it's painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way. So take a new grip with your tired hands and strengthen your weak knees. Mark out a straight path for your feet so that those who are weak and lame will not fall but become strong. As you ponder this nugget of wisdom for yourself, please encourage your friends and family to join us and come along tomorrow for another day of ‘Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.' If you want to listen to any of our 1984 treks or read the Wisdom Journal, they are available at Wisdom-Trek.com.

See you next time for more daily wisdom!  

L'editorialista Sydney J. Harris fu così impressionato dalla totale onestà della Bibbia che scrisse nella sua rubrica: “La maggior parte dei libri che propagano un singolo punto di vista, che propongono una fede specifica, fa proprio questo: ignora rigidamente tutte le incongruenze, tutte le debolezze, tutti i commenti avversi fatti dai propri nemici. Ma l'Antico Testamento ribolle di prove di tali difetti e fragilità umane. Considerate i severi libri dei profeti, come Isaia, che attaccano i capi religiosi, condannano il popolo per aver pervertito la fede e avvertono che il giudizio di Dio sarà duro contro di loro. Qualcuno può immaginare che il Comitato Nazionale Repubblicano degli Stati Uniti includa una denuncia pungente di Adlai Stevenson nella sua letteratura elettorale? O viceversa, ovviamente. Eppure, proprio questo ha permesso ai redattori dell'Antico Testamento di far diventare [i loro scritti] parte della Sacra Scrittura”. —The Telegraph-Journal, 16 dicembre 1959. Probabilmente lo scrittore faceva riferimento a Adlai Stevenson II, un politico statunitense appartenente a una lunga genealogia legata al mondo politico americano. Membro del Partito Democratico, Adlai Stevenson tentò almeno due volte di diventare presidente degli Stati Uniti, ma fu sconfitto entrambe le volte da Eisenhower. Alla fine, diventò rappresentante permanente per gli USA all'ONU. Suo nonno, Adlai Stevenson I, fu Vicepresidente degli Stati Uniti verso la fine del XIX secolo. Suo figlio, Adlai Stevenson III, fu senatore degli Stati Uniti. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/corgiov/message

Quote: The time to relax is when you don't have time for it. ―Sydney J. Harris

As I connected in with my guides to channel the guidance for this month, my guardian angel stepped forth and the energy I was feeling from her was personal responsibility.The message I heard was ‘there is no one more important than you'.I felt this was such a profound message for me and of course you, I know you are such a caring soul and your first thought is always of others.  I will even go as far to say your last thought at night and your first thought in the morning is of others.In these challenging times right now both here in Australia and across the globe, you have to factor in.  Factor in to your thoughts, factor in to your actions and factor in to your care.I pulled three cards from a new card deck I received, you can see them below.  The first one had such a confirming message:“The time to relax is when you don't have time for it” – Sydney J. Harris.I hear this excuse a lot from my private clients and community – “I don't have time”, whilst this is a legitimate reason it is not enough to betray yourself.The cards are providing such strong guidance that the time is now to start to take care of yourself, and honestly through our challenging times right now, it is no longer a choice, it is paramount.I want you to ask yourself the question:“Why am I not taking care of myself?”The way in which you treat yourself says a lot about how you feel about yourself.Watch your behaviours and utilse the inner dialogue of:“Am I honouring myself with this behaviour?”This is a very powerful tool that gives you the opportunity to shift your behaviours to say”“I am deserving of love and nurture”Visit Nicole's website to take a screenshot of the oracle card for the month of January.Ready to go deeper with your healing, book your private and confidential online session with Nicole.Have you joined our private community yet?  Come on over and be a part of our free supportive community for Highly Sensitive Women.

As I always say when I offer up solutions to something that I'm not an expert in, I am not an expert in this field, I'm just saying what I think would be best and perhaps you might agree with me… "The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows." - Sydney J.

Episode 126 Hello and Welcome to another potentially joyful episode of the TCAPSLoop Podcast!! I’m filled with gratitude to be joined by Ted Lasso of EdTech Coaches, Danelle Brostrom and the TCAPS Director of Joyfulness (unofficial title) Heidi Skodak.      Moment of Zen Happiness is a direction. Not a place. - Sydney J. Harris    We continually return to the fact that this has been an unprecedented year in education. One thing it has forced us to do is re-evaluate not only the platforms we use to educate but how we, as educators approach our work and life to create a safe and healthy environment for our kiddos so that they can be successful students and people. In our school district this has led to some deeper investigation on what it means to be successful. To that end our leadership teams and school community have adopted the #PositivelyTCAPS mantra and a book study into Shawn Anchor's bestselling book, "The Happiness Advantage."      Tech Tool of the Week:  Game About Squares - Beware! Highly Addicting   Thanks for listening and inspiring!

As we grow older, we should learn that these are two quite different things. Character is something you forge for yourself; temperament is something you are born with and can only slightly modify. Some people have easy temperaments and weak characters; others have difficult temperaments and strong characters. We are all prone to confuse the two in assessing people we associate with. Those with easy temperaments and weak characters are more likable than admirable; those with difficult temperaments and strong characters are more admirable than likable. - Sydney J.

Education is the key to a republic. Americans have been robbed of their education and vote. Students will learn hate, learn what to think, victimhood, Nihilism with BLM⏤but they can not read write and do simple math. "Democracy is the only system that persists in asking the powers that be whether they are the powers that ought to be."  - Sydney J. Harris "A politician thinks of the next election. A statesman, of the next generation."  - James Freeman Clarke Chris Wright is an independent liberty activist who travels in Tea Party and libertarian circles. Anticommunism is one of his main areas of focus. He started the Anticommunism Action Team (ACAT). www.liberato.us,  www.Spider-and-the-Fly.com Dr. Anton Salinski is a retired professor of psychology who spent three years in his youth as a member of the communist movement. He has worked in the college setting since 1977 and has taught sociology, anthropology, and American history. He is a member of the Anticommunism Action Team (ACAT).    Pastor Rick Stevens: www.goflca.com. Action Items: Listen to the podcast: Education or Indoctrination Donate to Trump legal fund: https://ldfftar.org/ Donate for the GA Senate election: Kelly Loeffler, and David Perdue. Send this to everyone you know that is pissed about this dishonest election! * Important * Send this to Republicans only and people who voted for Trump. (via messenger, email, text, not posting to everyone) This is not a joke, look up the Supreme court website yourself and you will see this link is legit! Subject: "WE THE PEOPLE" have a voice and it needs to be heard! Comment: Send a comment that you voted for Trump/Pence and you demand a full investigation of this election! This takes 2 seconds. Let's infiltrate the email inbox of the Supreme Court and let them know we are not standing by the dishonest media, corrupt liberal Democrats, and any illegal votes! Cut and paste the letter below and send it to House and Senate leaders in… AZ, NC, MI, GA, WI, and PA Honorable Legislator, This is a simple message—Article II, section 1 of the United States' Constitution gives your state's legislature the sole power to choose its Electoral College delegation. Article II says that each state shall appoint said delegation “in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct.”  You are charged with selecting your state's electors for president of the United States. The U.S. Constitution specifically gives that power to you, and no one else. This means state legislators have complete power over how presidential elections are to be held in their states, too. If you feel that your legislature's constitutional prerogative to set election rules in your own state has been violated, you have the ability to rectify it. If Democrats made anti-democratic changes to your state's electoral process, seeking corrupt advantage, you can correct that. You need not bend to outside forces, civilian or governmental. Your branch of state government regulates your state's elections and no one else. State legislatures may choose electors for Donald Trump because in their judgment President Trump is the legitimate winner in their state, or they may do so because they feel President Trump is the better choice. Both are constitutional, both are valid reasons. Therefore, Republican-controlled legislatures in AZ, NC, MI, GA, WI, and PA can decide that, in their best judgment, President Trump is the legitimate winner of their states' fraud-filled elections. Or, as has been done many times before in our history, state legislators have the power to simply overrule the voters if they believe the voters have chosen in error. The framers of the Constitution trusted you with that decision. You have that power.

Durante los últimos meses de cuarentena he tenido todo tipo de picos energéticos. Algunos días tengo mucha energía, otros días me siento cansado a más no poder. Otros días el solo hecho de abrir el computador me estresa mientras que unos últimos días abrir el computador es mi puerta a un mundo diferente y lleno de prosperidad. La primera vez que escuche de la meditación fue cuando le pregunte por Instagram a Freddy el CEO de Platzi acerca de como controlar la ansiedad y energía durante estos momentos. Su respuesta fue (en ingles) "take a nap or meditate". Después comencé a escuchar a Julián Torres, CEO de Fitpal hablar del tema en sus LIVE e intervenciones en redes y comencé a contemplar la idea de hacerlo. Descargue una app que se llama OAK y es meditación en ingles completamente gratis. No varia realmente la meditación de día a día. Pero la realidad es que no buscaba más cosas en que pensar. Para mí con le mismo mensaje, si es bueno, es más que suficiente. Mejoras tu proceso de meditación La meditación es entrenar a tu cerebro para reducir la velocidad, estar tranquilo y estar atento. Cuando comienzas, vas a apestar eso porque no es así como están estructurados nuestros días. Va a ser complicado y difícil. Pero la investigación muestra que las ondas cerebrales realmente cambian y se profundizan con la meditación. Comencé con 1 minuto de meditación, y fue difícil. Ahora a veces hago 10 o 15 minutos de meditación, y puedo sentir que pasa más rápido que cuando comencé con 60 segundos. Como cualquier otra habilidad, mejora con la práctica. Si tienes tiempo para meditar Hay una frase que dice: El momento de relajarse es cuando no tienes tiempo para hacerlo. - Sydney J. Harris Yo tambien pense que estaba ocupado. Seguramente tu tambien lo piensas todo el tiempo. Estamos todos ocupados trabajando a tiempo completo, tomando clases de posgrado, o haciendo mil cosas mas. Pero la verdad es que te aseguro que puedes encontrar 5 minutos en la mañana o 10 minutos antes de dormir o 15 minutos en el almuerzo. He meditado en el sofá de la sala de estar, en la terraza mientras tomo el sol, en la cama y en mi escritorio. Algunos días pueden ser solo 5 minutos o incluso 3. Pero los días que siento que soy más productivo, creativo, presente y efectivo, en lugar de simplemente dar vueltas y vueltas a mis pensamientos; son los días que puedo meditar al menos 10 minutos. Si crees que no puedes meditar, probablemente lo necesites más Otra frase que me gusta: Todos los problemas de la humanidad provienen de la incapacidad del hombre para sentarse en silencio en una habitación sola. - Blaise Pascal Las personas que son nuevas en la meditación piensan que no pueden meditar porque no pueden quedarse quietas y calmar su cerebro. Yo también era así. Mi trabajo es desarrollar, crear cosas, tener ideas y convertirlas en realidad; por lo que estoy constantemente conectado y buscando mi teléfono y haciendo cosas multitarea, revisando mi lista de cosas por hacer y pensando muchísimo. Ese es el argumento mas grande para meditar, si estas comiendo comida chatarra es el momento mas importante para dejar de hacerlo. — Mi Información: Espero que te haya gustado el video y te sirva para vivir una vida más productiva, llena de bienestar y te aporte a tu día-a-día o emprendimientos.

Hello! At 35:00 we discuss a submission to the Things I’ve Never Said segment which comes with a trigger warning around suicidal thoughts. To the listener who submitted it: you are cared for, you are as deserving as anyone else to be here drawing breath. No matter how logical it seems, you not being around is not easier or better for anyone. Steve and I really, truly, want you to get help.I’ve put numbers for each state and websites you can use in the show notes; take care of yourself.In this episode we talk about the one thing we can all be certain of: death. Which also happens to be the thing that we have the least certainty about. Hooray for the absurdities of life! While the topic is heavy and somewhat macabre, Steve and I manage to have a good laugh as we figure out this whole mortality situation.

This is complicated, not linear, and honestly so personal there is no one way to do it. An amazing podcast in general, but particularly if you are grieving, is Griefcast.....Does your debt die with you in Australia? Mostly. There are a lot of variables, but yes. If you have a lot of debt and you die, as long as that debt is not in someone else’s name as well (eg. A joint loan for a mortgage or something) then it will be written off by the lender when you die after every attempt has been made to pay it off using your estate. Your estate is all of the stuff you leave behind; your house, your clothes, your stamp collection, your car, your phone, your share portfolio, etc. Here is an article which goes through it really well but focusses mostly on mortages, and here is one by Canstar which talks about credit card debt......Look I couldn’t find a good enough how-to that didn’t have a paywall or a weird site name, so here is a wikihow on how to write your own eulogy.....Class exists even when you die because there are financial hurdles with funerals. Here’s a fun little article by Budget Direct (with infographics) about the costs of funerals across burial methods and capital cities......The book I was trying to think of with the Fairy Blackstick is The Rose and The Ring by William Makepeace Thackeray. Yup that is his real name, I shit you not. OMG YOU GUYS I found a free e-book of it! Lookit!.....The quote “Don’t take life too seriously. No one gets out alive anyway.” Is actually from Sydney J. Harris......According to Beyond Blue, in any one year, 1 million Australian adults have depression. And while not all those who are depressed are suicidal, it’s very handy to know what it means, and what suicidal ideation is. This is a very handy resource that isn’t icky or wordy or boring or condescending. There are also some great mental health resources at the bottom of the page too.Want to see Steve’s show? Me too!

What we have here, is failure to communicate. That is one of my favorite lines from any movie. That movie of course is Cool Hand Luke. And if you've never seen it, please stop listening to this podcast immediately and go watch it now… Go ahead, I'll wait... Welcome Loyal listeners in today's episode of the loyalty minute we're going to be talking about the difference between information and communication. Sydney J. Harris and American journalist who wrote for the Chicago Daily News and then the Chicago Sun Times summed it up the best saying that “The two words ‘information' and ‘communication' are often used interchangeably, but they signify quite different things. Information is giving out; communication is getting through.” Words are a commodity. We all use them daily, so it is easy to forget that there is often a huge difference between providing information and communicating a strong message. While information serves to keep people updated, its purpose is functional and does not inspire or lead to engagement, adoption or customer loyalty. here Communication, on the other hand, can make all the difference in how employees, partners and customers view your brand. However, for a message to be effective and persuasive, its purpose must have little to do with your company and everything to do with your audience. Its reach must extend way beyond a single department and needs to permeate every facet of your organization on the inside if its true external purpose is to be achieved. To learn more about the difference between information and communication, and to uncover other great customer loyalty insights, please visit theloyaltyminute.com Enjoy! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rob-gallo/message

The public response was so negative that he revoked it on this day, January 8, 1676.   1823   Today is the birthday of the British naturalist Alfred Wallace. Wallace developed his theory of natural selection quite independently of Charles Darwin - although he did send his theory to Darwin. Wallace’s work prompted Darwin to get serious about publishing his 20-year-old idea. In 1858, both Wallace and Darwin’s work was presented to the Linnaean Society. Wallace published a remarkable book called The Malay Archipelago.  The book is considered a classic and covers the flora, fauna, and folks native to the area - now known as Malaysia and Indonesia. Wallace wrote, "Nature seems to have taken every precaution that these, her choicest treasures, may not lose value by being too easily obtained."  Wallace has been obscured by Darwin over the course of history. Yet, when he died at the age of 91, his obituaries praised him as an extraordinary figure. One obituary said, "He was one of the greatest and brightest and clearest thinkers of his age...of one thing I am certain, and that is that never has anybody come more fully within my favorite description of a great man, namely, that 'he is a combination of the head of a man and the heart of a boy.'” A forthcoming children's book about Wallace is titled Darwin's Rival: Alfred Russel Wallaceand the search for evolution by Christian Dorian.   1945  Today is the anniversary of the death of the Dutch conservationist and botanist Jac P Thijsse. Jac founded the Society for the Preservation of Nature Monuments in Holland. His 60th birthday present was a wildlife garden in Bloemendaal near Haarlem. After WWI, a Dutch food company by the name of Verkade (vare-Kah-dah) ask Jac to create some album books on the Flora of the Netherlands. Essentially, the books became a collector series Album with empty spots for photo cards, which were distributed individually with the biscuits. The Dutch would buy their biscuits, and then they would place the card in the space designed for it in the book. These albums were quite trendy among the Dutch and today sell for hundreds to thousands of dollars apiece today on auction websites. Today in the Netherlands, there is a college named after Jac, and he always makes the top 100 Dutchman's list.   1985  Today is the anniversary of the death of conservationist and plantsman Harold Hillier. In 1864, Hilliard's grandfather Edwin began the family Nursery. His son was supposed to take over the family business, but he died during the war, and so it fell to Edwin's grandson Herald to continue his legacy. Harold immediately set about creating a public garden and arboretum alongside the nursery. The site was already home to some magnificent trees -  some of which were at least 200 years old. In an article from 2019, it was revealed that the Hillier Arboretum is home to the largest collection of Champion Trees in all of Britain and Ireland with a whopping total of 611 followed by Kew Garden with 333 Champion Trees. Champion Trees fit into three categories being either the largest, the finest, or the rarest of their species.  Today the Hillier Nursery is putting together a Champion Tree Trail throughout the Arboretum so that visitors can walk to each of the Champion tree specimens. Among some of the Champion Trees are specimen eucalyptus from Australia, rare pine trees from Mexico, and Sequoias from North America. The Hillier Arboretum really began as a propagation holding place for the nursery. If a tree needed to be propagated, the nursery workers would just go out to the Arboretum and take a scion wood or seeds from the tree there. Similarly, if the nursery received some incredible rootstock or seed, they would sell most of it but hold some back for the Arboretum. Today the 180-acre Arboretum is entirely separate from the nursery, and it features about 42,000 plants across 1200 taxa. the Arboretum features 11 National Plant Collections and has magnificent specimens of witch hazel and oak. Hillier died just six days after his 80th birthday. Harold spent his entire life working to save rare and endangered trees and shrubs from Extinction. In 1978 he gifted the Hillier Arboretum with thousands of specimens in plants. When asked by a reporter for his opinion on plant conservation, Hillier famously replied, "While others are talking about it, I am doing it, roots in the ground, planting, planting, planting."    Unearthed Words Today’s Unearthed Words are incredible and unforgettable onliners about January.   January brings the snow, Makes our feet and fingers glow. — Sara Coleridge, English author   "Come, ye cold winds, at January's call, On whistling wings, and with white flakes bestrew The earth." —  John Ruskin, an English art critic, and thinker   "Let us love winter, for it is the spring of genius." — Pietro Aretino (“Pee-et-tro Air-ah-TEE-no”), Italian author    O, wind, If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind? — Percy Bysshe Shelley, Romantic poet   In seed-time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy. — William Blake, English poet   When one reads a poem in January, it is as lovely as when one goes for a walk in June. — Jean-Paul Friedrich Richter, German writer   "Nothing is as easy to make as a promise this winter to do something next summer; this is how commencement speakers are caught." — Sydney J. Harris, Chicago Journalist     Grow That Garden Library Houseplants by Lisa Steinkopf The resurgent interest in houseplants is due primarily to Millennials who are filling every nook and cranny in their homes with houseplants. Those smart millennials! If you (like so many millennials) are filling your house with houseplants - especially during the winter season when they add so much - humidity, green, a touch of the outdoors, and clean air. One of the things I appreciated the most about Lisa’s book is that she divided the 125 houseplants featured in her book into three helpful categories - Easy to Grow, Moderately Easy-to-Grow, and Don’t-Try-This-at-Home-It’s-A-Waste-of-Money-and-Time-and-You-Really-Need-That-New-Pair-of-Shoes. Just kidding. It’s actually just called Challenging to Grow. (Which doesn’t sound so bad now, does it? Still - be careful here.) Now, guess which one Lisa and I spent the most time talking about when we chatted a while back? You’re right, again - the easy-to-grow category. Why? Because that’s where the sweet spot is. These plants give the best return on investment of your time and money. These are also the plants that will provide you with the most personal satisfaction. Here’s what you are going to love about Lisa’s book: she’s down-to-earth, and she’s a conscious competent - she knows how to teach houseplants to anyone (even those without green thumbs!) I’m also betting she must be an incredibly wonderful mom and wife because her understanding family has made room for over 1,000 houseplants thriving under Lisa’s care and supervision. This book came out in 2017.

Swingle was a very popular botanist during his lifetime. He made the news for several remarkable achievements in the world of horticulture. He introduced the Date Palm to California. He created many new citruses through hybridizing. In 1897, Swing made the first man-made cross of a Bowen grapefruit and a Dancy tangerine in Eustis, Florida. In 1909, Swingle created the limequat, a cross between the key lime and the kumquat. That same year, Swingle created the Citrangequat, which is a trigeneric citrus hybrid of a citrange and a kumquat. Swingle developed the Citrange, a combination of the sweet orange and the trifoliate orange. He was attempting to breed an orange tree that could withstand colder weather. Swingle was born in Pennsylvania. His family quickly moved to Kansas, where he was home-schooled and ultimately educated at Kansas State Agricultural College.  In short order, Swingle began working for the government at the United States Bureau of Plant Industry in the Department of Agriculture. The USDA immediately put him to work, sending him to nearly every country in the world. Swingle brought Egyptian Cotton to Arizona and Acala Cotton to California. However, Swingle's most significant accomplishment was the introduction of the Date Palm to America. The Date Palm was something swingle discovered during a visit to Algeria. Swingle was intelligent and observant, and he noticed that the climate and soil in Algeria mirrored that of California. Swingle was optimistic about the Date Palm's chances in California right from the get-go, writing: “No heat is too great and nor air too dry for this remarkable plant, which is actually favored by a rainless climate and by hot desert winds. It is also shown that the date palm can withstand great quantities of alkali in the soil- more than any other useful plant…It is probably the only profitable crop that can succeed permanently.’ When the Date Palm arrived in California, the Coachella Valley was identified as the perfect spot to grow them. By 1920, over a hundred thousand pounds of dates were grown in California. Today, Dates are one of California's main exports. The total value of the Date crop is approaching $100 million every single year.

Risk Early, Not Late   "The time to relax is -- when you don't have time for it." - Sydney J. Harris    Some people who come to see me are in their 50s, and they are desperate to make as much money in a few years before they hope to retire. They want me to put their money into high risk, and hopefully high yield, investments. A better way to look at it is to realize that higher risks make sense only for the long haul. Historically, the market has trended up over long periods of time, but it reacts with alarming volatility in short time spans. A casual glance at a graph of the Dow, S&P, or NASDAQ indices demonstrates these facts. For that reason, financial planning professionals generally recommend investments with lower risks for shorter time horizons, but if you can keep your money in place for a long time, you can ride out the ups and downs of the market and take advantage of higher risk instruments with higher returns.  A young couple about 26 years old asked for my advice about investing their 403b. We talked about their goals and when they would need the money, and they agreed that they wouldn’t need it until their children (yet unborn, and to their knowledge, unconceived) went to college. I recommended an aggressive growth mutual fund.  A couple in their 50s had a different look in their eyes. Instead of curiosity and confidence, panic filled their faces and voices. “I need to make as much as I can as quickly as I can,” the husband assured me.  “We don’t know what might happen,” his wife agreed.  I explained the principles of risks and time horizons, and reluctantly, they decided to invest in funds with less risk but greater stability. That proved to be a good choice because the market went down about the time she had major surgery and they needed to withdraw some of the funds. Choosing the lower risk investment saved them about $8000.

First it gets dark, then the air slaps you from every direction and the ocean falls from the sky. Laws of gravity have been repealed. Your thoughts reach up like flowers for sunlight but the sun cannot be found. I am darkness. I am the storm. And the witch rides her broomstick across my sky and is silhouetted against the moon. Swirling at your feet is the storm fear, icy poverty in iron handcuffs stirred by the witch's broom. I've been thinking a lot about storms of late; 2009 will be a stormy year. And growing stronger by the hour is the devil witch that stirs her icy brew. Turn on your television and take a sip and feel your blood run cold. But I bring you a different sort of news: The opposite of life isn't death. The opposite of life is fear. A young rabbi once said, “Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.” Do you want to learn to dance? Dancing is easy when you know your life's purpose. Do you know yours? If not, Sid Lloyd can help you find it. Wizard Academy exists to help people accomplish what they set out to do. We are the strangers you meet in the forest, the ones who give you what you need to continue your quest. We show you the pathway that leads to your prize. That first step is always a big one. The student looks down at their feet, then over at us as they realize, “I'm really going to do this, aren't I?” And thus begins the only dance that will carry you happily through the rain. James Thurber said, “All men should strive to learn before they die, what they are running from, and to, and why.” Do you want to know the answers to Thurber's questions? Let me be the stranger in the forest who gives you what you need. Are you ready to receive it? These 4 Common Fears are the Ingredients in the Witch's Brew: 1. Fear of Decision. ANTIDOTE: Knowledge of Purpose “Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” – Howard Thurman Mark Twain said it more sharply: “I can teach anybody how to get what they want out of life. The problem is that I can't find anybody who can tell me what they want.” If Mark Twain were alive today he would teach at Wizard Academy. In Twain's absence, http://wizardacademy.org/ (we bring you Sid Lloyd.) 2. Fear of Struggle ANTIDOTE: Commitment “Commitment means that it is possible for a man to yield the nerve center of his consent to a purpose or cause, a movement or an ideal, which may be more important to him than whether he lives or dies.” – Howard Thurman Show me a person without commitment and I'll show you a person bored out of their wits.  “I have noticed that there is no dissatisfaction like that of the rich. Feed a man, clothe him, put him in a good house, and he will die of despair.” – John Steinbeck Most people think commitment is a consequence of passion. But it's the other way around. Passion is a product of commitment. If your life is without passion, make a commitment. “When I hear somebody sigh that life is hard, I am always tempted to ask, 'Compared to what?'” – Sydney J. Harris     3. Fear of Failure ANTIDOTE: Laughter and a Sense of Wonder “If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder… he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement, and mystery of the world we live in.” – Rachel Carson     “To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people just exist, that is all.” – Oscar Wilde     “Do not take life too seriously – you will never get out of it alive.” – Elbert Hubbard “But why think about that when all the golden land's ahead of you and all kinds of unforeseen events wait lurking to surprise you and make you glad you're alive to see?” – Jack Kerouac     4. Fear of Death ANTIDOTE: Celebrating the Ordinary “Don't be afraid your life...

Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable. Sydney J. Harris (1917-1986)
