Yes, that M.A.D.!
Have you hear this said before about an athlete “he could be one of the great competitors of his time, but he doesn’t know how to manage himself”
Being M.A.D. is about bringing all parts of one’s life under personal control and to live in personal harmony that is economic (not wasteful), effective (not weak) and satisfying (not guilt-producing). Some people relate to this notion as self-discipline.

“H.I.P. people are aware that peace of mind comes from not wanting to change others. Be H.I.P. stop trying to change others.”
Chances are you have people in your life whose behavior you wish you could change. Your romantic partner might be putting on a little weight. Your parents may complain too much. Your best friend won’t look for a new job, even though she hates the job she has now.
Once you notice these annoyances, it is natural to want to push people to change. However, is it actually possible to change someone’s behavior? Should you even try? At what price? When we have the urge to try to change someone we are really saying that we are not satisfied with our own Self, we are not at peace with ourselves, for it is our own Self through which we see, hear and judge. Whenever we try to improve someone we are in some way moving into physical or mental manipulation or into the psychological approach and you are ultimately dealing with the effects rather than with cause.

You can’t prevent yourself or your partner from having an attraction to someone else.
Attraction is a natural part of life. It will happen. Energy is just energy. If you suppress that natural flow of attraction, what will often happen is that you will end up disconnecting from a part of yourself, which in turn affect the flow of chemistry between you and your partner.
If you let them know how you feel up front, they at least have a choice whether to continue in the relationship with you or not, rather than being there under false pretense. If you both agree to be monogamous and faithful to each other, then honor that commitment. But if it’s not your authentic truth and you are simply agreeing to what you think you should, then you are already being unfaithful to yourself and your partner.

To love, trust and honor yourself is the ultimate foundation for any relationship.
The relationship with yourself is mirrored in the relationship with the partners that you attract into your life. Each moment we are at choice – a choice to choose love or a choice to choose fear. A choice to cheat or a choice to live with integrity. Every relationship is the opportunity to practice integrity and to live your spirituality in everyday life. When you don’t honor what you truly feel or your deepest truth in a relationship, you cheat on yourself and this is when unfaithfulness begins.

How sad that we often diminish our best gifts
By struggling valiantly to develop in someone else area of ability. It is better to focus on your uniqueness and do that with excellence than to end up with mediocrity in several areas.
Use this rule of thumb for organizing your work strategy:
Work where you are the strongest 80 percent of the time.
Work where you are learning 15 percent of the time.
Work where you are weak 5 percent of the time.

Here is a thought for you to ponder on Discipline at a higher level:
“Rules should arise out of your understanding. They should not be imposed from the outside. Discipline should not be slavery. All true discipline is self-discipline and self-discipline is never against freedom. Only disciplined people become free, but their discipline is not obedience to others: their discipline is obedience to their own voice.”

I have been thinking
Lately about the amount of time spent getting to know others. The consistent strife to find out what another person is thinking or doing, the constant trying to be in the know game. I was sitting at a graduation yesterday that Charles had to address the graduates. The group of friends next to me never spoke a word to each other. They were busy on their phones watching videos (without a headset I might add) or text messaging. Charles and I got into the conversation of why this was so. Is the person next to you not your friend? Do you not find them interesting?

Movement of Power
When we think as a victim – we think something is happening to me
When we think in terms of manipulation – we think something is happening by me
When we think in terms of ourselves as channels – we think something is happening through me
When we think of just being – whatever is happening is happening as me

When we speak of transformation by renewing the mind
We speak of the instantaneous or gradual process of consciously changing thought patterns until the subconscious surrenders its old pattern for the new. Changing subjective thought patterns by supplying spiritual ideas will create new conditions in body and affairs and this is what we all seek. All the theory in the world is useless unless we know how to apply it and make a change.
The basic principles for practical application of changing are:
1. Continued willingness to let go of the past
2. Controlling what we think about all day
3. Learning how forgiveness of self and others releases us from the past and brings about physical healing

The question is……
Where and how do we begin to create an environment that cultivates evolutionary support and partnership?
Begin by asking yourself these important questions: –
1. Of everyone I know with whom can I really be my highest self?
2. Among my friends, family and colleagues, who truly shares my deepest values and highest spiritual aspirations?
3. Do I have any social structures in my life in which I feel free to stretch myself and my relationships beyond my comfort zones? To reach into new territory without being concerned that I’ll rock the boat or scare others off in my efforts to awaken and evolve?
