I have been on an incredible journey since 1981, when I got multiple sclerosis. Within weeks I was legally blind and numb over 30% of my body.

- Is it Easier to Change the Cause of Your Stress Or Your Interpretation?
[Self-Improvement:Stress-Management] Imagine the power you have in the simple act of how you interpret your reality. The person with an externally directed focus only looks outside for the solutions to his problems. The person with an internally focused awareness tends to look within for the solutions of his problems. Both inner and outer focus have qualities for solutions, but like a conscious breath, the inner and outer harmoniously work together.
- Intellect Or Inner Wisdom - How Do You Respond to Your Challenges?
[Self-Improvement:Personal-Growth] What if you had a choice to respond from intellect or inner wisdom? We are never a victim when we accept the natural power of the Wisdom of our Body. When old habits don't serve you, you have the power to change them.

It is not enough to just accomplish our goals; we have to express growth opportunities.
- The Patient's Role in Healing is a Free Resource Limited Only by Our Mind
[Health-and-Fitness:Healing-Arts] Patients can participate in healing on more levels than thinking. Participating from more than asking questions and focusing on the thinking level ignites the Wisdom of the Body.

Patients tap those resources when they fall in love, lose a loved one or have special things happen to them; why can't we tap those resources when we need them to heal?

[News-and-Society:Pure-Opinion] As our country struggles to reform health care, we have to look beyond the obvious issues concerning health. If we only focus on the deficit and insurance company profit, which are significant concerns, we may miss an important opportunity. We need to focus on the patient and develop their participation so it benefits them after their health crisis is over. If the person who got sick learned to tap inner resources, they could be a significant partner in health care. That could lower health expenses and reduce suffering. Equally important, connecting to inner resources helps them re-enter society better able to make significant contributions.
- How the Medical Profession Either Empowers You Or Makes You a Victim As You Heal
[Health-and-Fitness:Healthcare-Systems] The medical profession today is an amazing resource in healing. I define a victim as the person who only looks outside for the solutions to their problem. If a person gets excellent medical care and they only look outside, they can become a victim. The empowered patient actively participates with the medical professionals as a partner in the healing process. Both the victim and the empowered patient can have a chronic illness and need medical care.
- International Communications Using the Universal Language
[Health-and-Fitness:Mind-Body-Spirit] When people focus on their thinking, they communicate in the cultural way they were conditioned to live in.

- Consciously Being Unconscious - Learning to Avoid Limiting Habits in Healing
[Health-and-Fitness:Mind-Body-Spirit] Habits are created by the way significant people relate to you. As we grow up, those habits define who we are and we identify with them. We need to identify with the consciousness that listens to our thoughts and triggers our habits, more than we identify with our conditioning.

[Self-Improvement:Personal-Growth] We control the world around us all of the time and when we can't, that depresses us. Imagine living in an environment where you were hassled every day. I am not talking about minor hassles, but those that are physically painful and often make you feel less than normal. I am talking about your body during a health crisis.
- Using Your Mind Instead of Your Mind Using You in Difficult Times
[Self-Improvement:Mind-Development] During difficult times our mind can either evolve us to a higher level or it defeats us.
