Hey, my friends. I’ve been away for a few days. I hope you had an amazing week.
I’m sharing the latest video from my Bridge to The Future YouTube channel. I discuss this week’s machinations on Wall Street and how 3-D houses could quickly and cheaply move toward universal housing and the “Star Trek” economy.
Just in case no one else has reminded you today, you are awesome!

Life is often less what happens and more our perception. What happens when you hit a challenge in your day or on the way to you dreams? Do you see it as something to shut you down or as an opportunity to arrive at the goal faster than expected?
This affirmation reminds you and encourages you to see the opportunity in your roadblocks.
Just in case no one else has reminded you today, you are awesome!

I’m harping a bit on peace lately, my friends. I hope you’ll excuse me. I’m simply troubled by the fact that at a time when humanity could and should be peacefully prospering on this planet and aspiring to new things beyond, we keep coming back around to low-vibration energies such as fear, anger, violence, and tribal behavior.
It is my firm conviction that humanity’s destiny is peace within us and among and and a civilization ready to take its rightful place among the stars.
While a quick perusal of the headlines may make my dream seem Pollyannic, I firmly believe this is what we’re capable of achieving. The next question is always how.
It’s not a secret. The great sages across time and space of given us all the clues we need to get there. It begins with ending the war within, continues with ceasing to spread the war outside of us, and I’d add it is completed by reaching a critical mass of people who cannot imagine living in any other way.
These affirmations are meant to start at that place within, where the first battle must be won, if it is to be won at all.
Be peaceful, my friends, and prosperous. In case no one has reminded you today, you are awesome. Be sure to bookmark it and return often when you need a little boost of peace.
Enjoy the video!

Today’s Thought
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
~Lao-tzu
Without goals and dreams, we quickly become victims of the status quo. We often use goals and dreams interchangeably. For me, the distinction is that a dream is the big vision and goals are the milestones that build the dream. Dreams are summit of the mountain and goals are the footholds along the way. It is my belief that we can be, do, or have anything we want in life, if we are committed enough to believe and take action.
Accomplishing goals and dreams requires clarity of purpose (Napoleon Hill called this a burning desire), focus, and perseverance. There are few things in life more in the wheelhouse for affirmations. What is your vision and what your steps, commitments, and milestones to get there?
These affirmations are written to support you in that quest. There are a few that are similar to help you find the one with the right wording for you.
Follow your bliss. Experience your bliss. Become your bliss.

Well, it’s happened again. Here we are right in the middle of winter here in the northern hemisphere. The days have started to get longer again since the Solstice, but we are still months away longer days that matter in terms of light and heat or the aid of Daylight Savings Time.
I don’t know about you, but the darkness honestly bums me out every year. I seem to have less energy than in the warmer, brighter times of the year. More than that, I know I’m far from alone.
Even my great love of the night sky which is darker in the winter is not enough to stop me from longing for those longer hours of sunlight.
Medical science calls this Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). It is a very real condition affecting many people this time of the year. Estimates range between 1.5 to 9 percent of the American population that suffers full-blown SAD. Perhaps as many as an additional 14% experience a milder, but still clinical condition. Most of us just feel a little blue because our months of outdoor activities are limited by the cold and the dark.
The question is how do we combat these effects and keep our outlook positive? Obviously, people with a serious issue want to seek medical advice, but the rest of us can do a number of non-medical things to get us through the dim, murky depths of the Autumn and Winter seasons.
I have ideas below, but I found this cool video by Swedish videographer, Jonna Jinton, who lives in the north of Sweden. She lives in a world of midnight sun in the summer and polar night in Winter. She has some interesting perspective on dealing with the psychology of it.
The bottom line is that there is no reason to be SAD this time of year. There are steps and techniques to deal with the psychological effects of this time of year. Who knows, you might even reach a place where you actually look forward to setting back the clock.
Be peaceful and be prosperous!
