"Recalculating!"

I've been having a lot of fun recently using a GPS system during my travels. Have you seen them? Basically, you type in your destination and this great little system helps you navigate to where you want to go. It will even tell you nearby restaurants, hotels and other points of interest.

There's a computer generated female voice that calls out directions, road names and each turn to make. For me this has been a totally empowering experience-- as I am usually geographically challenged.

But even more importantly, this little system is a very close parallel to our life experience.

Let me explain...

When you know where you want to go (your destination) all you need to do is type it in and the GPS system will guide you there.

If you miss a turn, get off on the wrong road or prefer to go another way for awhile--which happens A LOT with some drivers I know (who shall remain nameless)--the system simply says, "RECALCULATING" and immediately gives you the updated directions based on where you are now.

Because here's the thing-- the GPS system only cares about two specific points: Where you are NOW and where you want to GO. It doesn't care about where you were last year, last month or even 5 minutes ago. It doesn't care about where your friends are, other places you might or might not enjoy going, where you've been in the past or where you might go in the future. It doesn't even care if you mess up and take a wrong turn or get on the wrong road altogether.

All the GPS system cares about is where you are NOW and where you want to GO. And it will ALWAYS give you a route to arrive at your destination as long as you know where you want to go--no matter how many times you mess up or get off track along the way. (Believe me, I know. I hear "recalculating" a lot!)

The great news is-- this is as true in life as it is with a GPS!

It doesn't matter where you were in the past, where your friends are or your family thinks you should be, how many times you get side-tracked, or completely off track and going in the opposite direction-- all you need to be concerned about is where you are TODAY and where you want to BE.

Because THIS MOMENT is your only point of power. Nothing else matters. Even if you've lived poor, sick, unhappy, unhealthy and generally miserable for the last 50 years of your life--everything can turn around FAST by simply being aware of these two very powerful points relativity-- WHERE YOU ARE NOW AND WHERE YOU WANT TO BE.

Your Source, Your Creator is like YOUR PERSONAL GPS system. And if you will simply focus in this moment NOW on exactly where you want to GO (forgetting all the other stuff that means nothing) you will be called along just the right path at just the right time to arrive just where you want to be.

The key, as always, is KNOWING what you want (what you want to have, do and be). If you have a clear destination and you can place your trust in that all-knowing personal GPS system right here waiting to show you the way, you'll find that your life takes on a whole new feel. Success, wealth, health, happiness, fun and great relationships are yours. All you have to do is ASK for it.

And if you mess up along the way?

No problem. Just close your eyes and hear the words, "Recalculating!"... knowing that regardless of where you are there's always a path that will lead you to where you want to be.

Spend a few minutes right now and program in your destination. Get clear on where you're headed and then focus on taking actions, dwelling on thoughts and speaking words each day that lead you closer to achieving that goal.

Forget the past and all the other junk that doesn't deserve even a moment of your attention. Use the PRESENT MOMENT (your point of power) to follow your bliss and you'll soon realize that the journey AND the destination are full of fun surprises and abundance at every turn.

To Living The Good Life,

The Wallet

As I walked home one freezing day, I stumbled on a wallet someone had lost in the street. I picked it up and looked inside to find some identification so I could call the owner. But the wallet contained only three dollars and a crumpled letter that looked as if it had been in there for years.

The envelope was worn and the only thing that was legible on it was the return address. I started to open the letter, hoping to find some clue. Then I saw the dateline--1924. The letter had been written almost sixty years ago.

It was written in a beautiful feminine handwriting on powder blue stationery with a little flower in the left-hand corner. It was a "Dear John" letter that told the recipient, whose name appeared to be Michael, that the writer could not see him any more because her mother forbade it. Even so, she wrote that she would always love him.

It was signed, Hannah.

It was a beautiful letter, but there was no way except for the name Michael, that the owner could be identified. Maybe if I called information, the operator could find a phone listing for the address on the envelope.

"Operator," I began, "this is an unusual request. I'm trying to find the owner of a wallet that I found. Is there anyway you can tell me if there is a phone number for an address that was on an envelope in the wallet?"

She suggested I speak with her supervisor, who hesitated for a moment then said, "Well, there is a phone listing at that address, but I can't give you the number." She said, as a courtesy, she would call that number, explain my story and would ask them if they wanted her to connect me. I waited a few minutes and then she was back on the line. "I have a party who will speak with you."

I asked the woman on the other end of the line if she knew anyone by the name of Hannah. She gasped, "Oh! We bought this house from a family who had a daughter named Hannah. But that was 30 years ago!"

"Would you know where that family could be located now?" I asked.

"I remember that Hannah had to place her mother in a nursing home some years ago," the woman said. "Maybe if you got in touch with them they might be able to track down the daughter."

She gave me the name of the nursing home and I called the number. They told me the old lady had passed away some years ago but they did have a phone number for where they thought the daughter might be living.

I thanked them and phoned. The woman who answered explained that Hannah herself was now living in a nursing home.

This whole thing was stupid, I thought to myself. Why was I making such a big deal over finding the owner of a wallet that had only three dollars and a letter that was almost 60 years old?

Nevertheless, I called the nursing home in which Hannah was supposed to be living and the man who answered the phone told me, "Yes, Hannah is staying with us."

Even though it was already 10 p.m., I asked if I could come by to see her. "Well," he said hesitatingly, "if you want to take a chance, she might be in the day room watching television."

I thanked him and drove over to the nursing home. The night nurse and a guard greeted me at the door. We went up to the third floor of the large building. In the day room, the nurse introduced me to Hannah.

She was a sweet, silver-haired old timer with a warm smile and a twinkle in her eye.

I told her about finding the wallet and showed her the letter. The second she saw the powder blue envelope with that little flower on the left, she took a deep breath and said, "Young man, this letter was the last contact I ever had with Michael."

She looked away for a moment deep in thought and then said Softly, "I loved him very much. But I was only 16 at the time and my mother felt I was too young. Oh, he was so handsome. He looked like Sean Connery, the actor."

"Yes," she continued. "Michael Goldstein was a wonderful person. If you should find him, tell him I think of him often. And," she hesitated for a moment, almost biting her lip, "tell him I still love him. You know," she said smiling as tears began to well up in her eyes, "I never did marry. I guess no one ever matched up to Michael..."

I thanked Hannah and said good-bye. I took the elevator to the first floor and as I stood by the door, the guard there asked, "Was the old lady able to help you?"

I told him she had given me a lead. "At least I have a last name. But I think I'll let it go for a while. I spent almost the whole day trying to find the owner of this wallet."

I had taken out the wallet, which was a simple brown leather case with red lacing on the side. When the guard saw it, he said, "Hey, wait a minute! That's Mr. Goldstein's wallet. I'd know it anywhere with that right red lacing. He's always losing that wallet. I must have found it in the halls at least three times."

"Who's Mr. Goldstein?" I asked as my hand began to shake.

"He's one of the old timers on the 8th floor. That's Mike Goldstein's wallet for sure. He must have lost it on one of his walks."

I thanked the guard and quickly ran back to the nurse's office. I told her what the guard had said. We went back to the elevator and got on. I prayed that Mr. Goldstein would be up.

On the eighth floor, the floor nurse said, "I think he's still in the day room. He likes to read at night. He's a darling old man."

We went to the only room that had any lights on and there was a man reading a book. The nurse went over to him and asked if he had lost his wallet. Mr. Goldstein looked up with surprise, put his hand in his back pocket and said, "Oh, it is missing!"

"This kind gentleman found a wallet and we wondered if it could be yours?"

I handed Mr. Goldstein the wallet and the second he saw it, he smiled with relief and said, "Yes, that's it! It must have dropped out of my pocket this afternoon. I want to give you a reward."

"No, thank you," I said. "But I have to tell you something. I read the letter in the hope of finding out who owned the wallet."

The smile on his face suddenly disappeared. "You read that letter?"

"Not only did I read it, I think I know where Hannah is."

He suddenly grew pale. "Hannah? You know where she is? How is she? Is she still as pretty as she was? Please, please tell me," he begged.

"She's fine...just as pretty as when you knew her." I said softly.

The old man smiled with anticipation and asked, "Could you tell me where she is? I want to call her tomorrow." He grabbed my hand and said, "You know something, mister, I was so in love with that girl that when that letter came, my life literally ended. I never married. I guess I've always loved her. "

"Mr. Goldstein," I said, "come with me."

We took the elevator down to the third floor. The hallways were darkened and only one or two little night-lights lit our way to the day room where Hannah was sitting alone watching the television. The nurse walked over to her.

"Hannah," she said softly, pointing to Michael, who was waiting with me in the doorway. "Do you know this man?"

She adjusted her glasses, looked for a moment, but didn't say a word. Michael said softly, almost in a whisper, "Hannah, it's Michael. Do you remember me?"

She gasped, "Michael! I don't believe it! Michael! It's you! My Michael!"

He walked slowly towards her and they embraced. The nurse and I left with tears streaming down our faces.

"See," I said. "See how the Good Lord works! If it's meant to be, it will be."

About three weeks later I got a call at my office from the nursing home. "Can you break away on Sunday to attend a wedding? Michael and Hannah are going to tie the knot!"

It was a beautiful wedding with all the people at the nursing home dressed up to join in the celebration. Hannah wore a light beige dress and looked beautiful. Michael wore a dark blue suit and stood tall. They made me their best man.

The hospital gave them their own room and if you ever wanted to see a 76-year-old bride and a 79-year-old groom acting like two teenagers, you had to see this couple.

A perfect ending for a love affair that had lasted nearly 60 years.

Pass On

Everything that comes to us, comes to pass or, more accurately, for us to pass on. Not just the money in our pocket, but wisdom, objects, ideas, even opportunities, all come to us, so that, at the right moment, we can pass them on. This is called flow. Being in the flow means being aware that the river of life is flowing to us at every moment. Being in the flow means accepting whatever comes and putting it to good use, before passing it on. Going with the flow means allowing whatever comes to move on freely, without holding on in any way. If we do not pass on, we are trying to block the flow, and that's when we feel pressure in our life. Pressure is always self-inflicted. Every time you feel 'under pressure' look at what you need to release and to pass on to someone else. Once you do you can ...relax...again. Peace~Nanette

THE PINNACLE

"Tips, Strategies & Insights for Extraordinary Living" *******************************************************

"What Are You Looking At?"

Ryan and I went to see the eye doctor yesterday. It was one of those things we've both been putting off for far too long. Those long hours staring at a computer screen were definitely catching up with me.

Anyway, Ryan went first. Then it was my turn. I sat down and the first thing the doctor said was, "I can't believe Ryan has been going around without glasses... he hasn't seen clearly for months now."

At first I didn't think much of it. Ryan lost his glasses awhile back (a loooong while back) and I knew he needed a new pair but it wasn't something he ever made a big deal about.

So when the doctor rambled on about his vision I was a little surprised. But then the real shocker...

The doctor said, "Let me show you how Ryan's been seeing" and he pulled out these two little circle glasses and put them over my eyes.

Whoa!

First I thought he was joking.

I couldn't see anything. It was like watching one of those "scrambled" cable channels on TV.

I was in shock. How could this be? How could anyone possibly exist with vision like this? I mean, I couldn't walk across the room. (Wanna guess who drove home?)

That's when it got interesting... very interesting.

The doctor explained that Ryan's BRAIN had actually been working over-time putting together pictures and filling in the gaps from what his eyes were unable to see.

In other words, his brain was doing most of the seeing for him.

Imagine that.

I was stunned. I knew our brains were powerful instruments but to think that Ryan's brain actually took the fuzzy pictures and made it so he could operate was an amazing feat.

So that got me thinking... You see, our world--or how we view our world--is determined more by what's going on INSIDE of us than what's actually going on OUTSIDE.

In other words, you and I could both look at the same scene and report back two different (sometimes VERY different) accounts of what we saw.

Why?

Because what we see isn't just what we see... it's what we perceive.

Have you heard the phrase, "Perception is reality?"

In the case of Ryan's eyes--his brain really helped him out. It allowed him to continue to see when his eyes couldn't deliver.

But we aren't always so lucky.

Sometimes (more often than you'd like to think) our perception of what's real is what keeps us from having what we really want.

I always heard...

"You have to SEE it to BELIEVE it."

But the truth is...

"You have to BELIEVE it to SEE it!"

That's why some people continue to miss out on success, health, wealth, happiness, that great career, that incredible relationship... or whatever it is they crave.

They can only "see" life... opportunities, experiences, people and events... through their "inner eye". So regardless of how "perfect" something may appear to one person-- another can see only obstacles, short-comings, lack and disappointment.

One of my favor quotes by Wayne Dyer is,

"When you change the way you look at things the things you look at will change."

There's age-old wisdom in those words. It's a life-changer when you really "get it."

So here's the challenge...

Look at those areas in your life you've been struggling with... trying like heck to change but seeing little to no results.

Instead of looking for circumstances to change on the OUTSIDE, spend some time looking INWARD.

No outside force can keep you from your highest good. No boss, government, family member, friend, church, school, ANYONE or ANYTHING has any power over you.

The source of your problems... the reasons why you can't seem to make that breakthrough... it's not "out there" somewhere.

Remember, "You'll only SEE IT when you BELIEVE IT."

So change the way you look at things (by eliminating the negative, lack-minded, low energy beliefs)... create NEW, empowering beliefs that support what you WANT instead of perpetuate what you don't want... and your life WILL change.

-- I guarantee it!

A Lonely Dog

I wish someone would tell me what it is That I've done wrong.

Why do I have to stay chained up and be Left alone so long?

They seemed so glad to have me when I came here as a pup.

There were so many things we'd do While I was growing up.

The Master said he'd train me as a Companion and a friend.

The Mistress said she'd never fear To be left alone again.

The children said they'd feed me and Brush me every day.

They'd play with me and walk me If I would only stay.

But now the Master "hasn't time"

The Mistress says I shed- She doesn't want me in the house Not even to be fed.

The Children never walk me.

They always say, "Not now" I wish that I could please them.

Won't someone tell me how? All I had, you see, was love.

I wish they would explain Why they said they wanted mine, And then left it on a chain.
