Medicine for Your Soul

---

Do you see what I see?

---

Interestingly, the only difference between the words “meditation” and the word “medication” are the letters 't' and 'c.'
​
Just for fun, close your eyes for about 8 seconds and think about those little letters 't' and 'c'.

Even with your eyes closed, you can see that those little letters can make all the difference in the world.

And by referencing "the world," I am referring to those things internal and external to you.

But, more importantly, I am stressing your particular, respective perspective.

In other words, even with your eyes closed, you can see that the way you see can make all the difference in the world.

Your internal world is where EVERYTHING happens.

It's where you might need medicine if you don't invest time ingesting an understanding of your truest, highest, most important self.

Your internal world is where EVERYTHING happens.

It's where you can conquer the world's most menacing enemy, and create the greatest hero you will ever know or need to know: your self.

Your internal world is where EVERYTHING happens.

It's quite factually the only place in the world where you can literally and immediately change the world with thought.

And I'm not just speaking figuratively…

When you change your inner thoughts, you change the blueprints and action plans for your next mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional steps in life (especially the blueprints for your physical world outside of your internal self).

And when you change the blueprints and action plans for your next steps in life, you change your own direction, dynamics, and dreams that may come true.

Ultimately, when you change your own direction, dynamics, and dreams as they come true... you will undoubtedly change someone, somewhere, somehow... some way.

And when that person changes, he or she will soon effect changes within or upon someone else.

---

And THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is how WE change the world.

---

Interestingly enough... this process goes on with or without your knowledge.

Day in and day out, you, he, she, they, and I are constantly changing...

The question is: To what state of mind, ability, and action are we changing?

Are you acting on purpose?

Because if you do, indeed, act on (your) purpose, you will, indeed, get there.

Come to think of it… what is your purpose?

That's the "million-dollar" question.

Meditate on that… (please)... and this:

* Happy New Year (minus 29)!

* Ask your self, "What do I want to achieve?"

* Ask, "What are my end-of-year challenges and opportunities."

​Meditate... don't medicate.

Aloha,
John
