When One Door Closes, Another Opens

"No dreamer is ever too small; no dream is ever too big." – Anonymous.



We plant the seed, water it, nurture it, watch it grow weathering the seasons and see it bear fruits of your toil…that's your "dream."

I am a firm believer of Paulo Coelho's words that the universe will conspire in helping you achieve what you want. Sometimes it may take years for your dream to realize and sometimes things just fall into the place and your dream materializes immediately. It took me more than 10 years to...

In memory of….by John, a friend and blogger

In Memory of…

The other night an inmate was brought in by ambulance to the hospital where I work as a security guard. Not just any inmate, but one with quite a bit of notoriety. I can't tell you his name or why he was there; all I can say is that he was once a famous record producer who is now imprisoned for the murder of an actress. If you don't realize who I'm talking about by now, I'm sorry.

The whole thing with this man got me to thinking. Here is a man who was arguably the single greatest ...

Making Room by Corinne Rodrigues

[image error]
When we were renovating our apartment, we had the freedom to play around with the space in the way we wanted. We received suggestions to expand our sitting room in to a much bigger space. The idea was that we could then accommodate a lot more people when we entertained. However, the fact is that we don't entertain much – never a large group of people any way, so we saw no use for a larger sitting room.

What did we do with the space instead? We used it to make a large study with lots of...

Enough

Greetings from the wilderness of Alaska. My name is Anna and Sonya has graciously invited me to write up a little something for her blog. First, a little about me. I live what some might consider a homesteader's life out here in the wilderness of Alaska, and when I say wilderness, I don't mean out in the country, I really mean wilderness. To get in and out of this place a boat is required during the summer and a snow-machine is required during the winter. A bush plane will work both seasons, ...

When is Enough Good Enough

Since I do not want to mention a name, suffice it to say that RR a billionaire was just sentenced to an eleven year jail term for insider trading. Everyone does it, but he got caught. It saved him a whopping $70,000,000. Now remember, he is a billionaire. I do not wish to bash RR, I am just using his situation as an example.

My question to you is, when is enough? What is enough? How much money do we need to generate, to be satisfied? Is 10 billion enough? Looked upon as one of the richest in t...

Crossroads of Failure and Success May Not Exist

[image error]

When coming to a crossroad, by its very nature, it has two ways. One cannot walk both but have to choose. If the choice does not fulfill our immediate needs, there is sensations of let down and feeling of discouragement.

What if you choose to think of "the wrong turn" as experience for growth instead of failure? What would happen if you choose to believe that every road you take is the right road and will lead somewhere you will gain. May not be riches or fame, but instead, insight and...

Mushrooms Need the Dark And the Bull

They say that mushrooms are kept in the dark and are fed bull. And that may be true but when you are in the dark sometimes you grow better.

We are not all the same. Some need sunshine and some moonlight. Some need constant touch while others prefer their space. Some are attention hogs while others strive for obscurity.

In any case, we flourish differently, under the worst and the best of circumstances. Some need the darkness without the sun's burn, pushing through the earth and burst in color. ...

Push the Rock Where It Wants to Go

A man went to learn enlightenment. The Master asked the students to move boulders, from one part of an open field to the other. This was no ordinary field. It was hilly, rocky and open to the sun.

Naturally, no one complained. Everyone started moving the boulders from everywhere to the appointed place. Our friend though was exhausted and tired by the end of the first hour. The boulders were large and hard to move.

Noticing the tired man, the Master came over to be helpful. So, he said, "Move t...
