R.I.S.E. WORDS: Day 73: BELIEVING IS SEEING
We've all heard the expression "SEEING IS BELIEVING" and it's fair to say that most people take this to be a statement of truth.
For we shouldn't have conditional faith in this statement. (One shouldn't always believe the eyes, after all, the eyes would have you falsely believe that the two rails of a train track merge together in the distance; that the earth is flat; and that land and sky to converge on the horizon.) Clearly, seeing shouldn't necessarily mean believing.
As we now know, life is lived from the inside out. Everything we see or experience in the world begins in mind and moves into material form. This is true of the car, the wedding and the 4.0 GPA. Paradoxically, "BELIEVING IS SEEING". Belief is an inner state. Belief is confidence, faith and trust in something before that is actual proof. Belief is a powerful state of mind that nurtures into being that which we eventually will see.
So in creating your "fulfilled life", if you desire to see a certain thing or circumstance materialize, a strong dose of unwavering BELIEF is a helpful thing to have.
Indeed, BELIEVING IS SEEING.

R.I.S.E. WORDS: Day 71: THINK, VISION and DREAM BIGGER
R.I.S.E. WORDS: Day 71: THINK, VISION and DREAM BIGGER
We often limit and restrict our Good Life by thinking and visioning small; some call it playing small ball.
But check this out: The Spirit of Life within us does not distinguish between small visions and large ones; between $10 and a million; a 3.0 GPA and 4.0. MAN DOES.....out of fear, doubt, guilt, or just plain habit.
The substance and abundance of Life is unlimited and available to all who dare to dream, envision, believe and act.
So the next time you are dreaming, visioning, and goal setting resist the temptation to play small ball. Be the possibility thinker!! Go BIG.

R.I.S.E. WORDS: Day 69: ATTITUDE DETERMINES ALTITUDE: TRUE OR FALSE?
TRUE!! Through my journey in life I have concluded that most adages and cliches pretty much hold true. And so I believe it is with the saying YOUR ATTITUDE DETERMINES YOUR ALTITUDE.
Your ATTITUDE relates to your inner activities of belief, expectation, feeling and faith-- all of which shape your choices, actions and reactions. These, in turn, influence the ALTITUDE, meaning the results you will achieve and the experiences you will attract.
So, if you truly intend to live the "good life" you desire, keep your ATTITUDE high and positive and your life experiences will likely follow suit.

LOVE keeps no records of when it's been wronged, but it always looks forward---seeing, expecting and motivating the very very best of Life. LOVE is a KEY STATE OF MIND AND BEING FOR ANYONE WHO DESIRES THE GOOD LIFE. SO LIVE IN LOVE---LOVE of SELF, LOVE of GOD and LOVE of LIFE.

R.I.S.E. WORDS: Day 59: PATIENCE
As you pursue your good life and the fulfillment you desire for yourself and your world, keep in mind the following truth about PATIENCE.
Out of PATIENCE, quietly and steadily comes the Good we seek (or something better).
Many of us want and expect instant fulfillment, feeling we must always be doing something to bring about the outcomes we desire. Surely there is a role that me must play; there is a time to be active and engaged in driving forth an outcome. However, Patience also plays a part. Patience is a practiced and learned state of mind. Patience is the art of learning to let go and let be; of just allowing things of unfold and take affect in a natural, fluid and unhurried fashion---and remaining calm, confident and content in the process. From this state of mind, this state of being, the good that you seek can emerge.
