Before I turn in for the night, here's my quote for this day from Teilhard de Chardin:

"Joy is the most infallible sign of the presence of God."

May you experience peace and joy tomorrow. Your work matters.

All the best/Allan

I posted recently about my new book (see my TIGBlog on profile) that's coming out in October. I want you to buy, beg or steal a copy when it comes out because I believe, if appropriate, it can change you life. Then I want you to tell your fiends about it. ALL OF US OUR CEOs OF OUR OWN LIVES! The major concept of the book is "Style-of-Life," first conceived by the great Vienna psychologist Alfred Adler. No matter what our walk of life, we create a Style-of-Life for ourselves that is either a Guardian Presence or Looming threat. For those of us who have created a Looming Threat for ourselves, our challenge is to replace it with a Guardian Presence. The book will show you how you can do that, and I assure you, you'll be glad you did.

Here's a little ragged fun with the point I'm making . . .

“LOOMING THREAT”


Once I had a looming threat,

That lived within the depths of me.

All too soon my looming threat,

Made clear I’d never be let free.


So I wondered deep and wide,

The way achievers often do.

What, prey tell, do I now hide,

That keeps my soul from being true?


Then I saw my purpose poorly spent.

This was clearly my life’s main event.

Now reclaimed my Destiny,

And my looming threat is merely history.
