I believe that many of the sets in that movie were just that; sets. They were inspired by many castles. That is not to say there isn’t a castle in England with the world map on the floor, there may be - but next time you watch the DVD watch the special features, they talk a good deal about the sets.

[quote smoogie.]We got together when I was 16. Thank you for the compliment Richard. I have a theory that people who are mostly happy tend to look younger.[/quote]

I agree… I believe you are right :)

I’d like to share my book with you. A little easy thing to read, to help remind us of our perspective and choices. You can find out more about it by going here: http://www.greenmancoaching.com/FreeB…

courage is not always the man that rushes into a burning building to rescue someone… sometimes courage is the soft voice that says with sigh, “I’ll try again tomorrow”.

Your value is much more than you realize. You can rediscover a passion, you can move forward. If what you’re doing now is not working for you… do something different.

Remember; Most things are easier said than done…. but NOTHING is done if not first said.

Wow… congratulations! When did you get with your partner? When you were five? your AV (if that is you) always looks so young!

I like your analogy to the ship in the water. I often use the same analogy, except that my ship is not a motor boat. My ship is a great sailing vessel. And our life is like such a ship. The great sailing vessels of old needed two things to navigate safely across ‘the ocean of life’; wind and a rudder. In our lives, our wind is passion, and the helmsman is reason. Without wind (passion) our ships cannot move forward. They will, as you say, simply flounder on the sea, going where ever the currents carry them. On the other hand if you have passion, yet you have no helmsman (reason) you will soar along in a straight line until you come crashing against the reef. You MUST have both passion and reason to navigate the ocean of life.

Dear poster… you lack passion. So I ask you now, what are you passionate about? What is it that will draw you off the couch and into life? What will pull you forward. “The only difference between a rut and a grave, are the dimensions” (anon)

What do you feel like saying?

in any experiment in the terms of scientific exploration (this includes psychological studies) there are expected results, or the hypothesis. The deviation is the anticipated amount off of that expected results… to if you hear something like, “… the results will be 60%, plus or minus 5%”. So if the actual answer found through testing is anywhere between 55% and 65%, then the answer fell withing the standard or the experimental deviation. That’s my understanding anyway.

Well… surely you believe there is more than one ‘peak’ in yours or anyone’s life. Surely you know there is a new army of minions ready to lay siege to the new walls you have risen! Everything will be less? I do not doubt the magnitude of your prior tests, but I also have faith in the Universe’s ability to kick your @ss to places ‘where no man has gone before’!

I really like the name of your new business… I’d go with that.

Indeed… universally operative.

We all can tell our story, we all have a different story to tell. A different wisdom to teach or give to others. It sounds to me that you have more to be joyous about then perhaps you are telling. If you have pushed that envelope, and discovered your current edges of Self. There is more to you. Choose to push again.

It’s all about your choices. You can be the knight in tarnished armor if you choose. It’s your responsibility and your choice. “Perspective, use it or loose it”. Richard Bach wrote that, and it’s pretty true if you ask me. You have a wonderful ability to communicate - I wonder if you are teaching? It sounds to me that you have a great deal to share with others. When will you publish your story?

We are spiritual creatures in a physical form. We are all about the evolution of the spirit. If you’re not working on that, then you’ve come no where close to completing your purpose, or to Self Actualization.

The Archway to the West, in Saint Louis, Missouri is pretty cool. It’s right next to the Mississippi River which is quite a site to see as well. Of course here in California, I would say don’t miss the coastal Sequoia Redwoods… http://www.travel-notes.org/redwds.html The Rain Forests of Northern California are beautiful.

When we do not have a goal that we are passionate about, something to pull us forward, it is very easy to become resigned or bored. Passion is what moves us forward. So many of us live lives of reaction. We respond to the things and voices, the whims of those around us. Choose to be a person of action instead of reaction. Our choices (and we make hundred’s of choices every day) are those thing that pay into this issue. Action or reaction… Live a life by default, or by consciously aware choices. We so often go through a day on autopilot. Have you ever noticed how good if feels to drive a manual transmission car after months or years of driving an automatic?

I wake every day grateful for the day ahead… grateful the opportunities that are out there for me. I pray that I’m wise enough to see them, and brave enough to go for them. Do I suffer fear of the uncertain? Of course - everyone does to some extent. But when I go to bed at night, I’m grateful the day that unfolded for me. If I feel there could have been more I acknowledge that, and just tell myself tomorrow is another day, and that I can try again tomorrow.

It’s a colon cleanser. I’m not 100% sure how they work, but they have been used for years… only recently enjoying mainstream popularity. But the idea is to get rid of the crap (literally) and leave you in a better position to absorb the nutrients that you need.
