Aloha this wonderful morning. The picture out my window is astounding. It’s impossible for me to NOT believe that there is something bigger than me out there when I look at this beautiful world.
Day 2 of The Seven Day Mental Diet was OK – I’m cutting myself some slack…
It’s funny that I decided to start The Seven Day Mental Diet on the day that I just wrote huge checks to the IRS. Paying taxes is NOT my favorite thing, I might go so far as to say I have disdain for this activity. Only because I am not so sure that these funds are going where they should. I don’t pay much attention to the news but I hear that members of Congress and Senators seem to take more than their fair share. When I write a check I like to know where the dough going and the checks I just wrote are a mystery to me.
Not being negative about that was tricky, but I think I did it.
During this challenge of attempting to be positive all the time, I am realizing my back slide of the last few months. The Go90Grow launch & a subsequent consulting job kept me busy and I slacked off. Things seemed to be going so well my subconscious decided I didn’t have to do the work anymore. HA! Wrong!!!
Generally I would read and meditate every morning and I have fallen off of that practice. 🙁 Boy does it make a difference. So back on the meditation wagon. Can’t recommend it enough even if it’s just for 5 minutes – although I shoot for 15 of total silent meditation. It’s amazing what will happen.
One must believe there is a higher power in the universe, right. I mean can you really think human beings are the top of the food chain, no there IS a higher power. Something is out there right? Ya, for me there totally is. I know I am not the one in control. AND if I contact and harness the power for good, to be in service by controlling my thoughts, and then put that above all else. I can do anything with my life that I choose.
Divine Power, Higher Power, Divine Energy, Universal Energy, God, Father… For me God is just easier.
Over the years I have tried and tried to come into contact with this Power and I have found the only real way is through quiet, earnest meditation. Emmet Fox, the amazing author I was turned onto by my wonderful husband, Mark Januszewski, The World’s Laziest Networker, tells me today to say “I believe in the power of God, I believe God is interested in me and that I can contact that Power to comfort me, heal me, enlighten me, purify me. I believe God is working through me to solve all.
This helps me with The Seven Day Mental Diet.
Aloha and Mahalo from Kauai,

Amen to Emmet Fox! This helps me with LIFE!
