On Conditioning
I was watching a video of a young man, approximately 12 or 13 years old, the other day, and I was just amazed at the way he expressed himself with so much confidence. He was young, he was black, and well groomed, but was he ever confident. He described how he was going to graduate…
On Perfection and Hope
Perfection is a hard word among those of us who know ourselves to be imperfect beings. Has there ever been a time that you haven’t wished that you were a little smarter, better looking, stronger, more ‘perfect’ in one way or another.

Energy is associated with almost everything, for an individual it is an evaluation of what makes him move, work and think. It may be associated with a person’s job, how they make a living. It is associated with how the person plays and exercises. And it determines what a person does when they get home…
On Looking At Others
What do we see when we look at others? Do we superficially compare ourselves in some prideful way or do we develop a tinge of jealousy because they appear younger or better looking, maybe in better condition? I thought this following story was humorous and maybe described how some of us really are. “Have you…
