Hello to all, for those of you "Matrix" fans, you might think I am talking about Neo... but no this time I am talking about that higher power that we all need to tap into.
Since I am Catholic, I call Him God.
I am a firm believer that we as humans can do remarkable things, that we can be responsible for our future, that we are responsible for all the things that we bring upon ourselves, but none of these things are possible without the help from above.
A huge part of growing personally and spiritually has to do with the ability to be humble, and believing that we are the highest power available doesn't look very humble to me.
Who here hasn't asked for God's help?, Who here has never said "Thank God"? I think we all have!
In my particular case, I have absolutely no doubt that God is always behind me, supporting me, and guiding me. When things aren't really going our way... Was it Him who left us, or was it us who moved away?
In many cases, our limited comprehension about how everything is tied together, leaves us thinking, Where did He go? In my experience, we get the answer somewhere in the future, and then wonder How did He do it so perfectly?
I am not asking you to be a believer, but I am telling you I am!
There is an enormous source of wisdom out there waiting for you to tap into it. My tip for this weekend, is that you consider it, you'll be glad you did!
Have a wonderful weekend!
God Bless!

Knowledge vs. Wisdom
Hello to all! I hope you had an incredible weekend and that you figured out which tribes you belong to, I will write more about them as I continue to read the book.
Today I will write about a very important topic in this journey to growth and prosperity.
To Grow and Prosper we certainly need to improve many things from within, but to do so faster and better, we need to tap into an "almost" infinite resource, and I mean BOOKS.
I have to admit, that I was not much of a reader when I was younger... Then I found my passion with cars, and started reading magazines about them, and then finally I made the jump to books. I still read magazines as they are very informative, but books have been instructive.
A book is someone's experience and advice just waiting for you to take it. Of course not all books will fill our needs, but there are certainly millions of books that are awaiting for us, and once they are read we will be better person.
I have developed a habit (Remember the Lotus Code?) to always have a book at hand, it gives us the choice to learn something new at any given time, we have to become thirsty for knowledge and books help quench it. Isn't it great to learn something new everyday? I believe so...
So, books provide the KNOWLEDGE and it is our job to turn that knowledge into WISDOM. Wisdom is something fascinating, it is "applied knowledge", it is our experience and our knowledge put into action to create.
As we grow older we become wiser. Now, wouldn't it be great if we could be wise, while still being young? That's the challenge for today... Become as wise as you can, as soon as possible.
Go to a bookstore and look around, see what interest you and then learn about it, learning together we can create a very interesting and powerful Tribe!
Have a wonderful week!
Until next time...
