Word for the Day: Wednesday, October 31, 2018

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Absorption.  This may, actually be a simple way to learn a Language:  Be with people, and interact with them.  You will pick up words, meanings, and context.  It's slow, and doesn't replace the other tools, such as Review and Study  (see first comment).  One example of Absorption is cited in the saying,  "Boy, I'd love to be a Fly on the Wall in that Meeting".

Word for the Day: Tuesday, October 30, 2018

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Review.  A Simple Review?  [or]  Reviewing Simplicity?  (Yeah, I could see either one of these).  And Reviews don't  *have*  to be complicated:  It could be, as simple as Reviewing your Shopping List, to see if you missed anything.  And it  "goes up"  from there:  Reviewing your Day, Week, Month, Year, or even Lifetime so far.

Word for the Day: Monday, October 29, 2018

The Word for Today (Monday) is Experimentation.  Experimenting with Simplicity?  [or]  Simple Experiments?  (Once again, both work, but they are not the same).  Don't be afraid to Experiment with your Life.  Experiments either work or don't.  But hopefully, we learn from them either way.

Word for the Day: Sunday, October 28, 2018

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Recognition.  Simple Recognition?  [or]  Recognizing Simplicity?  (Both work, but in different ways).  But note that it's always good to Recognize those, who help your life work well.  And have some Simple Fun this week!

Weekly Theme: Week of 10/28 to 11/03/2018

The Theme for this Week is Simplification.  Simplification?  Make less complex?  (Pretty "simple" definition).  Unlike some of our Themes, this might make for a more pleasant week.  But, like everything else, it depends on you, because you are in charge of your life!

Word for the Day: Saturday, October 27, 2018

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Resolve.  Sacrificing your Resolve?  [or]  Resolve to Sacrifice?  (Without Context, neither of these make much sense:  Almost like,  "I Resolve to keep my Resolve"!)  One thing in general to note about Resolutions:  They DON'T have to be made, during the  "New Year"  period.

Word for the Day: Friday, October 26, 2018

The Word for Today (Friday) is Courage.  Sacrificing Courage?  [or]  The Courage to Sacrifice?  (I like the second one better).  Courage is  *not*  the absence of Fear, but a way to Process that Fear.  And don't forget one thing, that often takes a Great deal of Courage:  Saying NO!

Words for the Day: Thursday, October 25, 2018

The Words for Today (Thursday) are Strength and Empowerment.  Sacrifice these traits?  (Please NO!)  But if we  *are*  in a position, where Sacrifice of something is needed, doing it from a position of Strength helps a great deal.  Do you know your own Strength?  Do you feel Empowered?  These are, both good questions to ask yourself.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, October 24, 2018

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Competence.  Sacrificing Competence?  (Please no!)  [or]  Competent to Sacrifice?  (Including knowing when that might be appropriate).  But the most important question to ask yourself?  "Are you Competent to be yourself?"

Word for the Day: Tuesday, October 23, 2018

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Endurance.  Enduring Sacrifice?  [or]  Sacrificing Endurance?  (Both sound interesting).  Building Endurance?  Of course, Health Clubs (or Gyms) can help.  However, one step that's often overlooked, is the practice of Yoga.  Think about it.

Word for the Day: Monday, October 22, 2018

The Word for Today (Monday) is Fertility.  A Fertile Sacrifice?  (Actually sounds intriguing).  [or]  Sacrificing Fertility?  (Some do this, to concentrate on, say, career).  But be careful what  *kind*  of Fertility you Sacrifice.  For example, make sure you keep your Fertile Imagination, so that your life goes better.  And have fun.

Word for the Day: Sunday, October 21, 2018

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Stability.  (And I do  *not*  recommend that you go, out of your way to Sacrifice Stability).  But, if some form of Sacrifice is forced upon you, a Generally Stable Environment might make things easier to handle.

Weekly Theme: Week of October 21-27, 2018

The Theme for this Week is Sacrifice.  I looked this up on Google, initially getting, only Religious meanings (i.e.  an Animal Sacrifice).  But, looking further, I found "an act of giving up something valued for the sake of something else regarded as more important or worthy".  (For example, some people make Sacrifices for Lent [which occurs before Easter in the Christian Religion]).  I can think of, at least two things  *not*  to Sacrifice:  Your Sense of Humor, and periods of Having Fun. 

Word for the Day: Saturday, October 20, 2018

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Release.  Release from Prophecy itself?  (Please, no!)  But Release from actions, that might stand in the way of getting the clear Messages that make up Prophecy, yes!  Also, if you feel stuck, look around you, and you  *might*  find something in your environment that can help free you.

Word for the Day: Friday, October 19, 2018

The Word for Today (Friday) is Aspiration.  Aspire to be the best Prophet around?  (Why not?)  But even better than that, is to Aspire to be the Very Best  *YOU*  that you can!  Also, Aspire to have fun in the process.

Word for the Day: Thursday, October 18, 2018

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Contrast.  Contrasting Prophecies?  (I Googled this, with mixed results).  One thing, in general that I've said before:  The amount of Contrast needs to be in Balance, because too little can seem Boring, yet too much can get, downright Scary!

Word for the Day: Wednesday, October 17, 2018

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Adaptability.  An Adaptable Prophet?  (Probably the best kind...)  So what is Adaptability, if not Flexibility?  It's the ability to  "Roll with the Punches".  Now I've said this before:  The Flexible Person Adapts to his/her Surroundings.  The Inflexible Person asks his/her Surroundings to Adapt to  *him/her*!

Words for the Day: Tuesday, October 16, 2018

The Words for Today (Tuesday) are Agility and Grace.  A Graceful Prophecy about Agility?  (There:  I did it!)  But how  *do*  you Develop, and Maintain these two Traits?  Besides the usual techniques  (i.e. Yoga),  I suggest that you Google  "Walking the Labyrinth".  And have fun!

Word for the Day: Monday, October 15, 2018

The Word for Today (Monday) is Acceleration.  Accelerated Prophecy?  [or]  Prophecies about Acceleration?  I can think of, at least  *one*  Prophecy about Acceleration:  Excessive Acceleration of a Motor Vehicle can result in a Speeding Ticket.  But go ahead, with Intellectual and Spiritual Acceleration.

Words for the Day: Sunday, October 14, 2018

The Words for Today (Sunday) are Patience and Tolerance.  And, due to the Fluidity of Time, it could  *take*  Patience and Tolerance to attempt to Predict "the Future".  But, whatever you do, have fun doing it!

Weekly Theme: Week of October 14-20, 2018

The Theme for this Week is Prophesy.  So what is Prophecy, but "a Prediction"?  (And yes, that's what Google says).  "The Wikipedia Article" on it even brings up a former Theme, Revelation, as well as tossing in Biblical references.  In this Article, people who give Prophecies are referred to as Prophets.  Now, one thing that complicates Prophecies is the fluidity of Time, where (according to the Multiple World Interpretation of Quantum Physics, among others), Time may have multiple, distinct versions of the Future.  How about a Prophecy that we have fun?

Word for the Day: Saturday, October 13, 2018

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Acknowledgement.  Before I tie this to the Theme, let me remind you, that it takes Knowledge to AcKnowledge!  And how  *do*  you Acknowledge Disability?  By getting into the "Engineering" of the Disability  (i.e. How does it challenge a person?)  And  *then*  (but not before),  you can get to a "cure".

Word for the Day: Friday, October 12, 2018

The Word for Today (Friday) is Kindness.   So how do you be Kind to the Disabled?  First, treat them like People!  Because they are, like all of us, a part of the whole!  Simple as that!

Word for the Day: Thursday, October 11, 2018

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Encouragement.  Encouraging Disabilities?  (No).  But encouraging People,  *with*  Disabilities to live Fulfilling Lives?  (Yes!)  And note, that a Little Encouragement goes a long way.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, October 10, 2018

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Thoughtfulness.  So how do you be Thoughtful to people, challenged by Disabilities?  Frequently, by how you talk about the subject.  For example, people don't always appreciate lines like, "Poor You: How can you possibly live with such a Condition?"  Thoughtful?  Thinking before you Speak and/or Act?  Often, a great step to take!

Word for the Day: Tuesday, October 9, 2018

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Support.  We all need Support at times in our Lives.  And  *have*  it, too:  Just look at the Topic of  "Support Groups"  in the Michael Teachings.  And this goes even more, if you are Challenged by one, or more Disabilities.  But one thing to think about:  Even then, you are, likely  *part*  of the Support Structure of other people.

Word for the Day: Monday, October 8, 2018

The Word for Today (Monday) is Comfort.  We all seek Comfort, in our day-to-day lives.  And this, of course includes people, challenged by one or more Disabilities.  And those who make efforts to Provide this sort of Comfort are to be Applauded.  When I provide a Restaurant Review, it can include notice, about how comfortable the Chairs are.  Because if I am fidgeting in a Restaurant chair, I am less likely to enjoy the food!

Word for the Day: Sunday, October 7, 2018

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Nourishment.  And how better, to cheer up a person, challenged with a Disability, than a Nourishing  (and hopefully Delicious)  meal?  Think about it!

Weekly Theme: Week of October 7-13, 2018

The Theme for this Week is Disability.  So what is Disability, anyway?  According to Google, it is "a physical or mental condition that limits a person's movements, senses, or activities".  And why would this be a Weekly Theme, in the Michael Transits?  I guess it takes "all Kinds of Situations" to make up our Days and Weeks.  And remember one more thing:  Some people actually Overcome Disabilities, and consider that experience to make them Stronger. 

Word for the Day: Saturday, October 6, 2018

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Prosperity.  A Prosperous Diplomat?  (It  *is*  a Lucrative Career Path).  But why not?  Don't Periods of Peace tend to be more Prosperous than Periods of War?  And how better to Prevent War than Diplomacy?

Word for the Day: Friday, October 5, 2018

The Word for Today (Friday) is Liberation.  Liberation  *from*  Diplomacy?  (Please, No!)  But Liberation from what stands in the  *way*  of Diplomacy, as well as what occurs  *without*  Diplomacy?  Yes!  Liberate yourself!

Word for the Day: Thursday, October 4, 2018

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Wisdom.  A Wise Diplomat?  (Undoubtedly, the Best Kind!)  So how  *does*  one Develop, and Maintain this Wisdom?  Long, often Hard Life Experience, of Course!

Word for the Day: Wednesday, October 3, 2018

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Impartiality.  An Impartial Diplomat?  (Well, that''s the Idea:  The Diplomat, to be effective, needs to understand All Parties and preferably, not take sides).  But keep in mind, that Impartiality is not easy to attain, especially in the News Business!

Word for the Day: Tuesday, October 2, 2018

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Consequence.  Are there Consequences to Diplomacy?  (Of Course!)  But a better question might be, about the nature and severity of the Consequences, that occur when Diplomacy is  *not*  followed?  If those Consequences include War, that's about as Severe as you can get!

Word for the Day: Monday, October 1, 2018

The Word for Today (Monday) is Elimination.  Eliminating Diplomacy?  (NO!!!)  But Elimination of, what gets in the Way of Diplomacy  (i.e. Rudeness and Impoliteness)  is another thing, and to be Encouraged.  Be good.
