Politically Correct


"I have learned not to trust the language of diplomacy" 
                                          --Goh Maset (StarTrek)

Political correctness has its good points. It sensitizes us to be careful of the words we use--not to offend others. However, the detriments can outweigh the benefits. In a world of political correctness, words are not an authentic barometer of what is true and real. Therefore, in such environment, be cautious about trusting words of favor and approval.    

There is great virtue in being plain, open and transparent.  Political correctness is often a euphemism for varnishing or sugar-coating the truth--sweetened words that lead others to an impression that is false. Crafting words for the sake of social or political expediency leads to equivocation and prevarication--both blood relatives of deception. Beneath the language of diplomacy lies the real truth--the intention of the heart.

When to Quit

"Some have been thought brave because they were afraid to run away"
                                         --Ralph Waldo Emerson

Wisdom often calls you to challenge accepted truths.  One example is, Never fear...but never saynever. Another example is, never quit... never run away...but again, never say never.  Danger: good judgment may call for you to cut ties, turn around and go the opposite way. Many have suffered in a business or some other situation that is not profitable, productive or pleasing, but they continue on, just to save face--just to protect their pride.     

To be clear, I urge you to be persistent, insistent and consistent in pursuit of your goals and objectives in life. Often your greatest breakthroughs come after serious trial, disappointment and hardship--conditions you must endure in order to experience the success you seek. However, know the difference between the unstoppable pursuit of a worthy goal and the need to take a detour from a dead end road...to exercise your exit plan.               

ACTION:Take this Power Pill All Week Long

Consider the goals, ambitions and dreams you have been pursuing for some time now. Think carefully and analytically about each one. Be honest. In your gut, do you know that something you are doing doesn't make sense? Do you have an exit plan?Know someone who could benefit?

Rub & Fit


"It is the way of nature that the high places be lowered 
and the low places made higher."  (Biblical)

It is a common misconception that square pegs don't belong in round holes. They do not fit each other neatly...one is outside the comfort zone of the other...so they must not belong together. But come to see that they may be made for each other--and you uncover a deep truth that expands your personal power. Excellence and mastery often demand that the square edges be scraped, beveled and smoothed by the round hole.

To be ordinary, associate only with people just like you and avoid all conflict and disagreement. To be extraordinary, endure adversity like a soldier thirsty for victory; learn to get along well with difficult people; and, seek for the mountaintop, though the trail be unpaved and rough. The round holes of your life may be portals to greatness. Squeeze through.

       ACTION: Take this Power Pill All Week Long
First, think of a challenging, unpleasant circumstance in your past that ended up making you better, wiser or stronger. Second, think of a challenging, unpleasant circumstance in your life today. Resolve with all your will and belly power to make it through successfully--you will learn through it, grow through it and emerge better on the other side of it.

Fear: The Myth

Myth--Fear is False Evidence Appearing Real

No single principle stands without exceptions; avoid being simple. So, fear is bad; right? 'Not always. There are times when you should be afraid...very afraid.  Your baby likes to crawl out the door, toward the street. Your teenage daughter spends late nights with a boy representing the most dysfunctional elements of society. 

Most pharmaceutical solutions bring negative side effects greater than the solutions. Your tires are bald and you travel on wet or icy ground.   Seek to be unafraid of everything--macho and daring--and you risk being impervious or insensitive to areas of danger that demand caution and evasive action. Pay attention to that tug in your stomach that warns you of danger. Examine the evidence and know when to run away--live to fight another day. 

ACTION: Take this Power Pill All Week Long
List all the things you fear, in two groups--areas of False Evidence Appearing Real, and areas where you need to Fix the Environment to Avoid Ruin. 

Deny, or overcome the first. Engage and execute the second...put on that child lock; coach that teenager; take natural medicine; and fix those tires, please.
