How's this...

...for a theoretical route to self-actualization?

1. By experiencing life, learn what you love.
2. Allow yourself to start to hope for what you love – real hope – defined as the confidence that love (ultimately) never fails.
3. Inspire yourself toward what you love, by cultivating internal and external environments that allow you to identify when what you love is present within them.
4. When you sense the presence of what you love, move toward it. There’s no need to measure your stride. What matters is your direction.
5. Wait, hope and trust, while continuing to experience life.

Unity is a witness

My beloved brothers and sisters struggling to overcome the enemy's works of racism in the world, remember our imperative:

There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people - for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.

[Thanks, P and T, mentored by P, saved by Christ all.]

Our President is our brother in Christ, he is in authority of our secular nation,  and he seeks the wisdom of our shared good in his leadership.

Prayers, petitions, intercession and thanksgiving made for all people.

Unity and love within our body of Christ. This is how others will know who has redeemed us and all of creation; By our love for one another.

I think I have this. It would explain a lot.

"Now you know."

Dear SM,

It. was. perfect. Seamless. I cried a single tear. No joke.

There will be plenty of haters to continually trash the absolutely phenomenal success you've had, to overlook your attention to beautiful storytelling and pick little things apart as they miss the bigger picture, and to just not get it - how you inspire, how you've contributed, along with JKR and SC, to a renewed youth literacy, and how girls will see your Bella come into her own for literary eternity.

I never wanted to read your books or like your story. The blessed thing about having an open mind is that one can change it to receive something of value once discovered.

I hope you enjoy the rewards of your bravery in creating the Twlight Saga, and for those lifelong fans that you've created (and mostly for yourself!), I hope you enjoy building new worlds for years to come.

Fuzzy wuzzy had a birthday!

 

This is now on my bucket list.

Order

The true secret in being a hero lies in knowing the order of things. The swineherd cannot already be wed to the princess when he embarks on his adventures, nor can the boy knock on the witch’s door when she is already away on vacation. The wicked uncle cannot be found out and foiled before he does something wicked. Things must happen when it is time for them to happen. Quests may not simply be abandoned; prophecies may not be left to rot like unpicked fruit; unicorns may go unrescued for a very long time, but not forever. The happy ending cannot come in the middle of the story.
