Word for the Day: Thursday, September 30, 2021

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Contrast.   Contrast in Manifestation?  [or]   Manifesting Contrast?   (Both?)  A concept I like is  "Degrees of Contrast".   And the best is  "in the Middle", because too little Contrast can seem Boring, yet too  *much*  Contrast can get, downright Scary.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, September 29, 2021

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Adaptability.  Manifesting Adaptability?   (Well, either you're Flexible or you're not.  I'm not sure it's something you "strive for").  But this I  *do*  know:  The Flexible person tends to Adapt to his/her environment.  But the Inflexible Person tends to expect his/her Environment to Adapt to him/her.

Words for the Day: Tuesday, September 28, 2021

The Words for Today (Tuesday) are Agility and Grace.  Graceful Manifestation of Agility?  (Hmmm...)   So how  *does*  one Manifest Agility and Grace?   Exercise Programs?   Yoga?   Waling Labyrinths?  (Look up the last one on Google:  You might have a local one available to you).   But also Manifest Fun.

Word for the Day: Monday, September 27, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Acceleration.  Accelerated Manifestation?  Be Careful, as this can work in Two Directions!  If you are trying to Manifest something  (like a Job, Relationship and/or Financial Prosperity),  you can put a  "The Sooner, the Better" on it.  That's one thing I brought up yesterday, when I discussed why Patience helps.  *BUT*   We Manifest also, through our Fears.   And the Results of those Manifestations might not be what you Consciously want!  So be careful.

Words for the Day: Sunday, September 26, 2021

The Words for Today (Sunday) are Patience and Tolerance.  And you  *absolutely*  need both, when you are Manifesting  "things".  Patience, because it often takes longer to Manifest than people give credit for.  And Tolerance, because the Details of  *what* you Manifest might not always match what you  "expect".

Weekly Theme: Week of 9/26 to 10/02/2021

The Theme for this Week is Manifestation.  According to Google, there are all kinds of Meanings for this Word.   Anything from  "...showing an abstract idea" to  "symptoms of an ailment".  A synonym of Manifest is Demonstrate. 

Word for the Day: Saturday, September 25, 2021

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Acknowledgement.  Acknowledging Patrons?   (Of Course!)  And Patrons Acknowledge the Organizations and Companies they Patronize.  And an important fact about Acknowledgement?   It takes Knowledge to Acknowledge.

Word for the Day: Friday, September 24, 2021

The Word for Today (Friday) is Kindness.  A Kind Patron?   (One would hope).   But Kindness is an Awesome Word by itself, as it even helps the World go around.

Word for the Day: Thursday, September 23, 2021

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Encouragement.  Businesses and Organizations Encouraging people to become Patrons?  (Advertising may bring them in the first time, but you need outstanding Products and Services to keep them -- Encouraging them to become Patrons).  Note that things work in the other direction:  A Patron has ways to Encourage their target Organizations or Businesses to  "Keep up the good work".

Word for the Day: Wednesday, September 22, 2021

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Thoughtfulness.  A Thoughtful Patron?   (The best kind, of course).  Thoughtful?  Full of Thought?  This is another one that's not too hard to understand.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, September 21, 2021

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Support.  Patrons Support their Companies or Organizations, which could include, for example, Restaurants, Public Libraries, and even Symphony Orchestras.  And, ideally, those Companies and Organizations Support their Patrons by, as one notable example, providing good Service.   See, it works both ways.

Word for the Day: Monday, September 20, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Comfort.  A Comfortable Patron?  (Likely the best kind, for many reasons).   And if you are, for example, a Patron of a Nourishing Restaurant, it is even better if it has Comfortable Chairs to sit in.  In fact, I stopped going to one Restaurant, because their chairs were metal Stools.  I am a patient person, but would be impatient for my takeout order, because of those Stools.   Oh well.

Word for the Day: Sunday, September 19, 2021

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Nourishment.   An example of a good connection is to be a Patron at a local Restaurant, that reliably creates Nourishing (and hopefully Delicious) meals.  Not all of these combinations are as easy as this.

Weekly Theme: Week of September 19-25, 2021

The Theme for this Week is Patronage.   So what does it mean to be a Patron?  It can be as simple as being a Regular Customer at some firm, such as a Restaurant, Museum, or Library to give just a few examples.  Loyalty can be a part of this, but shouldn't be one-sided.  Anyway, this should be an interesting week.

Word for the Day: Saturday, September 18, 2021

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Prosperity.  Can your Set of Principles and/or Code of Ethics help you to be Prosperous?  Yes!  See, with real Prosperity, both sides of the transactions in question benefit.  In other words, this is the Win-Win Concept.  (This is, as opposed to the Zero-Sum Game, where one person only wins, when the other person loses).  This should do it.

Word for the Day: Friday, September 17, 2021

The Word for Today (Friday) is Liberation.  Liberation from Principles and Ethics?  (Please, no).   But Liberation from, what stands in the way of creating your Principles and Ethics is a different story.  Go for it!

Word for the Day: Thursday, September 16, 2021

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Wisdom.  Wise Principles and Wise Ethics?   (The best kind).   So where do you find Wisdom?   Book reading?  Weekend Seminars?   (Maybe).  But I suggest that the best place to look is in your Daily Life.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, September 15

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Impartiality.  Impartial Principles and Ethics?  Yes!  Our Laws and Policies need to provide the Pathways, so we all can have an opportunity for a good life.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, September 14, 2021

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Consequence.   So do Principles and Ethics have Consequences?  Of Course!  But I suggest that refusing to maintain your own set of Principles and/or Ethics have even worse Consequences.   Of course, your Mileage may vary.

Word for the Day: Monday, September 13, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Elimination.  Eliminating our Principles and Ethics?  (Please don't!)   But Eliminating things, that stand in the way of our Principles and Ethics is a completely different thing.

Word for the Day: Sunday, September 12, 2021

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Self-Reliance.  And Self-Reliance can, both be a good Principle, as well as highly Ethical.  Does it always work that way?  Of course not.   But that doesn't stop us from striving for it.

Weekly Themes: Week of September 12-18, 2021

The Themes for this Week are Principles and Ethics.  Do you have a personal Set of Principles?   How about a personal Code of Ethics?  In my opinion, both of these are important, especially with the adjective  "personal" attached.   Not everyone will agree, especially those heavily influenced by Religious implications.

Word for the Day: Saturday, September 11, 2021

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Expansion.  Expanding our Salvation?  (Okay, but...)  Yes, but what is there to Salvage, if we Expand, excessively around our Middle, due to lots of Delicious Food?  (This was not an easy Week!)

Words for the Day: Friday, September 10, 2021

The Words for Today are Trust and Faith.  Salvaging Trust, so as to have Faith in our Salvation?  (Not sure about that combination).  But there is one thing I am clear about:  Where people are concerned, Trust must be Earned, and Faith should not be Blind. 

Word for the Day: Thursday, September 9, 2021

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Gratitude.  And, in my opinion, any good Salvation deserves Gratitude.  And remember that Gratitude helps the World go around.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, September 8, 2021

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Equality.  Equal Salvation?  (What would that look like?)  But Equality "could" be something to Salvage, as long as we are talking about Equal Opportunity, and not Forced Conformity.  But how about Salvaging Salvation itself?  What would *that* look like?

Word for the Day: Tuesday, September 7, 2021

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Prudence.  Prudent Salvation?   (64.6 million Hits on Google).   But can being Prudent help with Salvation?  (Since Prudence is about Practicality, I don't know why not).   And, believe it or not, I believe you should have fun also.

Word for the Day: Monday, September 6, 2021

The Word for Today (Monday) is Innocence.   Salvaging Innocence from a long and contentious Court proceeding?   For some people, this could be a long and arduous undertaking, even when the real perpetrator is known.  Definitely not what I am thinking of, when I hear the word Salvage.

Word for the Day: Sunday, September 5, 2021

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Forgiveness.   To Salvage Forgiveness?  Forgive our Salvation?   It looks like this should be, quite an interesting Week.

Weekly Themes: Week of September 5-11, 2021

The Themes for this Week are Salvage and Salvation. Difference? We Salvage things, but people seek Salvation. In Theology, one meaning for Salvation is "deliverance from sin and its consequences". Sin? Oooh, this Week should prove Interesting.

Word for the Day: Saturday, September 4, 2021

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Authenticity.  An Authentic Addiction?   (Don't tell me we get Certificates of Authenticity for Addictions!)  But do be Authentic to yourself.

Word for the Day: Friday, September 3, 2021

The Word for Today (Friday) is Interpretation.   Interpreting an Addiction?  (And translate it to WHAT language?)  But lets take Interpretation by itself:  It can make a wonderful Career Path.  The more Languages you know, the better.

Word for the Day: Thursday, September 2, 2021

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Socialization.   Socialized Addictions?   (Yes.   That's where Bars come in).  And Socialization comes in many forms:   In Person or Electronic  (i.e.  Twitter or Facebook).   Be Social.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, September 1, 2021

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Concentration.   Concentrated Addictions?   (12 Million hits on Google).   Since you get what you Concentrate on, it might be better to Concentrate on ways to deal with Addictions, than concentrating on the Addictions themselves.  Try it and see.
