Today’s Positive Poetry (When The Traffic on the Road is Clear)
When the traffic on the road is clear, there are no cars in my way Having no obstructions, I arrive at my destination in an instant Arriving so freely, I fully embrace the here and now Embracing the here and now, every moment seems magical Why am I so happy? because my road is so easy Why am I so happy? because I am exactly where I want to be Why am I so happy? because now is the perfect time Why am I so happy? because I know how to clear the road And My mind is so clear , My mind is so clear Craig

Today’s Positive Thought (“To thyself be true”)
Whether we realize it or not we are all on the spiritual path of enlightenment. We are all moving closer and closer to realizing our oneness with the eternal. In other words whether we understand it, like it, or not, we are all spiritual masters in the making. Not only is this happening but everything that is happening in our lives is trying to get us to move more and more into this realization. Having said that, I will also say that there is a stage on the path in which to go against ones own dharma or way of being is like high treason. It is denying the will…

Today’s Positive Thought (Find your place under the sun and be there)
G od created everything. He made the sun, the moon, the earth, the people and the animals. God also created the trees. Each tree bears it’s own fruit, and the birds flock accordingly. We have to be more like the trees. A tree knows its place. You don’t find the apple tree trying to bear coconuts. The weeping willow knows it belongs near the lake. The palm tree only shows up in warmer climates. When the trees bear their fruit, the birds, insects, bees etc., come automatically. The tree doesn’t have go out chasing after them. We must find our place under the sun, and be there. We…

Today’s Positive Thought (There are always more lessons and reminders for a wonderful life)
My six-year-old son Jordan is a wonderful boy. There are many areas where he totally blows me away and I think he is truly a prodigy. Then there are other areas where he is clearly struggling. Sometimes during his struggles it may appear as though he is not even trying. I am learning more and more that this is not the case. Yesterday I took him to his swimming lessons and he once again was crying after putting his face in the water. I could be wrong but at times it seems as though out of the many kids there, he is the only one crying. I could see the…

Today’s Positive Thought (It’s Gonna Be Easy! again)
This morning I woke up thinking about my gutter cleaning and window cleaning business. Over the last couple yeas I have added more services for our customers and it is obvious that if we keep moving forward in the same manner this year, we will not be able to handle all the business coming our way. This presents a question for me. How am I going to proceed further? Will we slow down on providing the additional services and concentrate more on what has been the primary business? Or do we add more trucks and expand? I decided I would open up my book Wise Words and expect the…

Today’s Positive Thought (Is the Universe Trying To Get My Attention?)
Today’s Positive thought comes from my third book Walk This Earth Like a King. Are you currently going through a challenging situation? Do you sometimes have an empty feeling like something is missing? Or maybe you have something going on that is agitating you and you feel like this unsettling feeling keeps showing up over and over again? If so believe it or not this can be a positive thing, if you can recognize what is happening. Our whole life, everything we experience, is the outcome of our past actions and the way we see and interpret the world. Understanding this, we have to remember that when something bad happens, it…

Today’s Positive Thought (As we move further along we know what to do when and what comes first, second, third, and fourth in each situation)
As we meditate more and move further along the path, we know what to do when and what comes first, second, third, and fourth in each situation. We become so in tune that what we want is what the universe wants for us. Also as we begin to see ourselves more as an instrument of God one with the universe we become much more powerful, not concerned so much with how are things going to work out for us. At the same time things tend to work well for us without much effort because of our giving and being in our proper place. The more you give the more you…

Today’s Positive Thought (Take Your Time But Make Haste)
Right now I have a lot of things I would like to see done or more complete. I had been thinking in a mode that my teacher Mr. Ambrister used to share with me. He used to say “make haste while the sun is still shinning.” Well that is what I have been trying to do. The problem is I want to do big things, I lot of big things, in a relatively short time. Then this morning I opened up Wise Words, the second book I wrote years ago, looking for my message for today. The page I opened up to randomly was page 48. This is…

Today’s Positive Thought (“and things will come your way”)
In the movie Under The Tuscan Sun there was a marvelous quote. It says, “You have to live spherically in many directions and never lose your childhood enthusiasm, and things will come your way.” This is so true. We often hear people talking about living your dharma or according to your nature. “Do what you love and the rest will follow.” I do agree. But often we have more than one way of expression. We should take time for as many of the ways the Universe wants to express through us as possible. When I first opened up my bookstore and started teaching meditation classes in it, part of the goal was…
