“BE AS ONE”…John Lennon, Winnegrad

                                            The “LARGE LETTERS” following are from the song, the small letters, as I am, are from me. Let us “IMAGINE” the emotional message setting the tone in our lives, which is definitely needed now. “YOU MAY SAY I’M A DREAMER. BUT I’M NOT THE ONLY ONE.” “IMAGINE ALL THE […]

WAKE UP THE SENSES…Winnegrad

                                              The happiness of being alive is apparent in the SENSES found in the limbic system of the brain and found in the soul. The SENSE of smell, hearing, sight, touch, emotions and memories. These SENSES make up the original part of the brain. They are connected to the soul […]

HABITUAL…Winnegrad

                                                     A HABIT is a tendency to repeat an action, a customary action. A HABIT refers to an act repeated so often by an individual that it has become automatic with them. So as a freshman at Syracuse University on the lacrosse team I wanted to excel at the sport. […]

DEFENSE IS BETTER…Winnegrad

                                                 Many years ago when I was about 15 years old my father was a boxing manager and taught me to box at an early age. We had many boxers staying at our house from time to time. One day when my father came home from work he was told […]

YOUR THOUGHTS…Winnegrad

                                                       YOU DO NOT OWN YOUR THOUGHTS, YOUR THOUGHTS OWN YOU. They come and go as they please. NEGATIVE THOUGHTS act like a bully, they never give you anything, they just take.  If your NEGATIVE THOUGHT comes from an imperfection you have, then that flaw can’t be changed. Accept it […]

DON’T LISTEN TO DON’T…Winnegrad

I was a freshman at Syracuse and he was a senior. One day there was an inter-squad game. The freshmen against the varsity. There was a […]

TWO SOCKS…Winnegrad

                                                 TWO PAIRS OF SOCKS were given to me 42 years ago. I was very touched with the unexpected gift. So I didn’t know which pair to wear first to work. So, being me, I wore one sock from each pair to show that I had no preference. At work […]

FINDING A RESOLUTION…Winnegrad

                                              When I was training a student several years ago, he was having a problem to FIND A RESOLUTION to his particular situation. He told me his mind was cluttered up, he could not think clearly. The office was in New York City. I brought him to the window and […]

YOU HAVE A CHOICE…Winnegrad

                                                  TO HAVE A CHOICE means that you have options. So WHEN YOU FEEL THAT YOUR GLASS IS “HALF EMPTY,” THEN PUT IT IN A SMALLER GLASS. You then will have a “full glass.” Thinking hard on the power to choose you will find the right tool to carry you […]

THERE IS A VOID…J.Abumrad, Winnegrad

                                    THERE IS A VOID, an unknowing, an emptiness, out there facing everyone. That VOID is called tomorrow. What will happen tomorrow? What will happen the day after tomorrow? The thought that may come to you is what will I do? What follows tomorrow, is LIFE. Nothing is unavoidable. Everyday […]
