Hi there everyone!!

There’s chatter in our minds. There are things we say to ourselves without realizing it. This is our internal communication.

Think about it. Are you saying things to yourself right now as you read this? Are you asking yourself questions? Are you pausing and contemplating? This is your internal communication.

The problem is, sometimes this communication has nothing better to do than to make things up. It makes up the meanings of what is going on all around us. We make everything mean something. This is called a “racket.”

Here’s an example. I’m writing, and you’re reading. That’s the only fact. Everything else is a racket... So, as I write this, I consider how this might all be interpreted. I wonder if I’m effectively communicating to you, the reader. I think of other examples that might be better or more effective. I have a racket about not being a good writer. I have another racket about using the word “racket” since I learned it from Landmark Education Corporation. I make it mean that I might get myself into legal trouble. Then, I have a more empowering thought, that the secret is to just be authentic and sincere in my communication.

Yet another racket creeps in. Is it worth continuing this? Do I really have something worth sharing?

It’s amazing how many rackets we can have. And none of them have much value because they are all rackets. Their meanings are all fake. I made it all up in my mind. Neale Donald Walsch, author of “Conversations with God” says “We’re making it all up. All of it!”

I don't know what the truth is. I don’t know if this article is going to be understood and gotten by you or not. I wish that the truth has you in a place of understanding that rackets are a part of life, and simply being conscious of them can empower the way we think, by allowing us to truly choose what we think.

Here’s the bottom line. It doesn't matter what I say. What matters is what you hear.

Let's love the world together...

Love,

Your mother is brilliant, but she is blocked. She is a spiritual, creative woman and she’s made her declaration that she wants to live a life free from the ghosts of the past. She wants to make her dreams come true, to share her gifts with the world. But she’s bumping into an obstacle, and she’s so frustrated that you fear she may just give up. If this is happening to your mom, (or if you are the mom and this is happening to you), help is on the way. This article reveals why mom is stuck and how she can go from blocked to brilliant again.

Hi there everyone!! What is Personal Development? There are so many words that we, or other marketers may use to describe what we think personal development is. For example, we may have heard of self-help, self-improvement, or peak-performance. We may have seen the concept targeted to a specific market, such as "professional" development. Or, if we're on the cutting-edge, we may have heard of the new trillion dollar "wellness industry." Ultimately, personal development is about improving ourselves in any possible way, in any possible aspect of our lives.
