WORDS TO LIVE BY…Chief Standing Bear, Winnegrad

                                 From the Creator came a great unifying life force that flowed in, and flowed through all things; the flowers, trees, birds, animals and into the first man. Therefore all things are related. So all creatures and plants had rights, the rights to have man’s protection. So they can live, […]

HOW WE DECIDE…J. Lehrer, Winnegrad

                                           We always need to be aware of how we think. Sometimes we need to reason through our options and analyze the possibilities. This is using our prefrontal cortex, the newer part of our brain. Sometimes we need to listen to our emotions, that is our limbic system, the oldest […]

NEGATIVE TO POSITIVE…Dr.A.Weil, Winnegrad

                                 How one explains rejection and defeat to themselves is very critical. Pessimists interpret them as a confirmation of their own failings and lack of worth, while optimists do not see them as permanent and do not let them affect their sense of self-worth. It is not just a matter […]

TREAT OTHERS WELL…Winnegrad

                                         TREAT OTHERS WELL AND YOU WILL FEEL IT ALSO. When TREATING OTHERS WELL do not look for or expect anything in return. The TREATMENT could be assisting, aiding, teaching or giving a little “teddy bear” for comfort and ease through difficult times. The delight and satisfaction flowing from the […]

JOY IS YOUR GOAL…Winnegrad

                                        THE ULTIMATE SOURCE OF JOY IS WITHIN US ALL. It is not power, not money and not status, they all produce the temporary feeling of PLEASURE. We undermine our JOY by chasing the materialistic life of external stimuli. We are hardwired to be COMPASSIONATE, yet some of us tend […]

LET US DREAM…Winnegrad

As we get older some of us rely on the intellect and less on the intuition. These people rely on the intellect as the supreme mode of knowing. They tend to judge the intuition as anti-intellectual. The intellect, in its cold rational search for facts, blinds some of us to […]

EMPTINESS OF AN ECHO…Winnegrad

ECHO is; to repeat or to imitate. When you ECHO something that another person says without checking the facts or to see if the statement is reliable, that is not the proper way to be a considerate HUMAN. It is the way of a PARROT. Too many false statements are […]

FEELING UNNECESSARY…Winnegrad

A FEELING is an EMOTION, something that many times comes from a non-logical unqualified reaction. It is very easy for anyone at one time or another for that EMOTION to take hold of their FEELINGS. We are susceptible to such unconscious surrender and the loss of a clear view of […]

THE WAY OF GROWTH…Lao Tzu, Winnegrad

We must remember, that TRUTH is never exaggerated and exaggerated TRUTH is not sincere. When you speak the TRUTH you never have to be defensive. Those that are defensive are not speaking the TRUTH. TRUTH, REALITY and INTEGRITY, must never be allowed to be distorted. If the TRUTH is embellished, […]
