“Greg wrote a book and, as you might already know. it’s pretty amazing. I read the darn thing probably 6 different times while I was editing and designing the pages and, each time, I picked up something new. I’ve known Greg for almost 15 years and this book still caught me off-guard with the honesty and wisdom contained within it. I think the world would be a better place if everyone read it, no joke.

“But enough about what I think, we want to know what you think. Greg worked very hard to put this little book together and wants to share it with anyone that will listen. As such, we’re releasing the book, one “page” at a time (it’s actually one idea at a time because some ideas are two pages). Every Saturday morning, a new page of the book will be available to download and read, totally free. We want you to take this idea and really think about it over the week. Send it to a family member or a close friend and see what they think. If you like what you read, we’d love it if you bought a copy at Lulu.com (the downloadable version is cheaper for you and we get more of the royalties, FYI). The text of the page will also be posted but I would suggest downloading the PDF version of the page… it just looks really nice!”

What if, at any given moment, there exist four truths:

1. Your truth

2. My truth

3. Our truth (2 + 2 = 4, the world is round, water is wet)

4. The truth

Stop competing for The truth.

If he believes there is a monster under the bed, no wonder he’s scared.

Grab a flashlight, please.

If you own who you are,
you can change who you are.

You cannot change
what you do not own.

It is impossible to live a life of passion
and expect to have the safety of fairness as well.

So, pick one…

A Life of Passion
(open to the possibility of regret)

or

A Life of Safety
(characterized by control, fear, guardedness,
superficiality, caution, and avoidance)

Give yourself a few minutes to decide.

A Gratitude Checklist

My life is whole and complete just as it is.

I am enough now.

I am blessed in all that I have been given.

I am released from all arrogance and sense of entitlement.

The spirit of gratitude is bold in its assumption. Gratitude will be my choice now, not my fear of having enough.

Is there anything you could have that would be more
meaningful than that for which you are already
grateful?

Put it all together…

Love, Honesty,
Gratitude, & Forgiveness

These four characteristics provide freedom now –
freedom from everything that would otherwise restrict
us.

When we choose to OWN our lives with Love, Honesty, Forgiveness and Gratitude, we are freed from ourselves. We no longer worry about what someone else might do in response to what we do and we no longer feel the need to jump to our own defense.

We also understand that our choice to act out of integrity may be contrary to how we might otherwise feel in the moment.

gratitude

This choice provides me with the fulfillment now that otherwise I would only have when…

…I’m financially secure

…I buy that house

…I’m treated better

…I have what I’m entitled to.

The essential requirement for depression and resentment is,

“What I’m entitled to have,
I don’t have yet.”

Gratitude releases us from promises that make our life’s fulfillment conditional. These promises say, “I’ll be vindicated when …” and “I’ll be given the recognition I deserve when…” Gratitude frees us from acknowledging our present, unconditional wholeness.

If we are not grateful for everything we have, we fun the risk of being the victim of all that we don’t have.
