Young people who find something they love to do and do that with all their might report that their lives are been well spent.
What would it say about your relationship to what you do if you look for ways not to go to work?
Or use phrases like, “Thank god it’s Friday?
Miracle
If you look into the eyes of a child (below is Jacob Howlett, Katie Abbott and Nigel Howlett's son), you will not only see what real presence looks like, you will see the entire miracle that is ours. In how many other places might you see miracle today? ...
All Inclusive
In relationship to anything: laws, businesses, schools, public policies, everything, there is one question that must be asked in every case. Is what we are about to do going to be useful in creating A World That Works for Everyone? ...
Dogs
Dogs (Service Dogs Specifically) are now recognized as splendid medicine for those who suffer from anxiety, PTSD and a host of other maladies. Consider for a moment what dogs can’t do to see why this might be so ...
Seconds
If you were awake for 16 hours yesterday, that would amount to 57,600 seconds. For how many of those 57,600 seconds were you truly awake and completely present? When we recognize we live in a miracle, it becomes oh, so much, easier ...
Imagine
John Lennon’s song was about a World That Works for Everyone. If you personally believe it is not possible to create, what role have you just assumed? ...
Two Minds
It seems to me, especially of late, that the human mind has two distinct functions. 1. The first is as a computer, analyst, figurer, planner, constructive support to the human unit to which it is attached. 2. The second is one of stewing (as in a pot bubbling on a ...
Simplicity
Whenever you are in doubt or the self becomes too much with you, try the following expedient: Recall the face of the poorest and most helpless person you have ever seen and ask yourself if the step you are about to take will be of any use to her or ...
The Mirror
There’s a good deal of being angry going on right now. I’d be a whole lot more confident about tomorrow if I saw us using mirrors more often than our mouths ...
Ownership
Today London. Yesterday, 9-11 and Columbine. Mother Nature is the only one who commits random acts of violence. I have to own London and all the rest. Who else can I look to take responsibility for my family? ...
Judgement
Judgment and evaluation fills the air these days. I wonder what it would take for us to remember that our job is to value and love the being and, if necessary, disagree with an opinion or action? ...

In 1977, Landon Carter, Neil Mahoney, Levy Swindell and I made a presentation regarding the peaceful desegregation of the Cleveland, Ohio public schools in the board room of the Cleveland Trust Company, now Key Bank, to it’s Chairman and other senior staff of the bank. Landon Carter was an EST trainer, Neil Mahoney a former member of the Boston “Checkers” gang and Levy was a kid from the Barrio in San Francisco who had turned his life around brilliantly at age 18.
During the conversation, the Chairman asked Levy what made him believe that kids in the inner city would be able to grasp the training we were proposing?
Levy responded simply by asking the Chairman, “what makes you think those young people want anything different from what you want in life?”

Until we examine everything we do to see if it moves us closer to a World That Works for Everyone, it is highly unlikely we will ever achieve it.
It will require absolutely everyone’s attention to all things they are involved with or work towards if we are to create it.
What are you going to do today that you believe will not have an impact?
