Commitment to Transformation

I love this quote from Theodore Roosevelt: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthycause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while DARING GREATLY so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

When we make a commitment to transformation, we are daring greatly. Making a commitment to transformation isn't just about KNOWING, it is about DOING. It isn't about knowing what is standing in the way of getting connected to the Divine Presence, what are we going to do about it? It isn't about knowing what false beliefs we have that have been keeping us stuck and safe, what are we going to do about it? 

It is possible that each and every one of us is being called from deep withing to enter a new way of being; a new way of showing up in this world -to live loud and live large; to make a difference; to boldly, proudly, and daringly bringing our gifts and talents to bear for the betterment of the world. Are you heeding that call?

How are you going to commit to dare greatly and rock your world
?

Wisdom from Ernest Holmes
Jesus communed with the Divine Presence and definitely used Divine Power.  He plainly taught that we must first become acquainted with the Presence; that if we know God we will not only find an intimate Companion, but we will also discover limitless Power.  He talked of a Presence in man, surrounding him and moving through him.  Because of It man has life, and he should believe in It because It will respond according to that belief.  Here we have cause and effect, action and reaction, prayer and its answer, or affirmation and its result.
