3 Life Lessons I Live By!

#1  Law of Attraction - Put simply, you attract what you think about.  There has been many books written about this subject, however, in principle it's simply common sense. Everything from your attitude, interests, the car you drive to what you do for a living.

If you purchase a new car, your eyes are attracted to every car on the road like yours.  If you have something to complain about, you surround yourself with like minded folks that need to wallow in the same sort of misery! 

The benefit of knowing this, can work in your favor.  Learn to attract good friends, positive attitudes and great health.  It's up to you! 

#2  Art of Allowing - Everyday there is input all around.  You are bombarded by family, work and media.  You own the decision to allow in and what you don't.  

Example - My son would leave a half eaten sandwich or some sort of mess on the kitchen counter. Every time I would walk by I would own that sandwich.  Upset that he wouldn't come back and put his mess away.  All the while he was enjoying his day and that sandwich was no where in his thoughts.  Solution...clean the damn counter and remove that from your life.  It's up to you to allow anything into your life.  Stupid comments, dumb ass people, and bad habits.  Only allow the stuff that brings you happiness and prosperity, or not!  Your choice! 

#3  Deliberate Creation - If you have something in your heart or a passion for a particular subject, you can simply manifest that desire.  

In 1995 I had the notion to repay the debt of my son's life and the community that made me whole.  I had no background or experience to create a platform of philanthropy, however I did have a strong desire.  For the next 20 years plus I dedicated my life to doing just that. The result...my life and a few others were impacted beyond anyone's expectations. A gift I will cherish for the rest of my life!

I learned these life lessons when I read the book, Ask and It Is Given by Esther and Jerry Hicks.  Just a heads up, you may not agree with their sources however the message is quite powerful.  I'm grateful for their wisdom as well as their teachings from Abraham.

I hope all of you enjoy your Thanksgiving  and remember to be thankful for all of the things that got you here!

Problem solving!

I recently reread Wayne Dyer's book 10 Secrets to Success and Happiness, as always, simply looking for nuggets of wisdom that would serve me during this time of transition.

If you have been reading my blog lately or for a long time, you have learned about my life's most recent opportunity.

My good friend Les Dossey posted on one of my recent Facebook entries concerning the removal of my Noblemen stickers off the door of my truck, his wisdom struck a cord.

Everyone eventually enters a crucible Al. Some die or stop living as a result. Others learn to love the fire and opt to stay in the crucible because pain is all they've known. But there is a third kind of person. The ones who allow the fire to burn away what weakens them so they become stronger. 


Our world just witnessed somewhat of a "crucible" with the election of Donald Trump. Clearly the citizens of this great nation are reacting in similar fashions.

The point Les made was simply this.  At 59 years old there are facets in my life that make me who I am.  I'm proud of most however, not so much all of them.

Staying on my own somewhat comfortable path (somewhat used loosely) what motivation would I have to make changes?  Not much!

As mentioned in the first statement of this blog I referred to Wayne Dyer's 10 Secrets to Success and Happiness. The nugget I took was "You can't solve a problem with the same mind that created it."

My crucible is slowly melting and eradicating those facets that needed adjustment.  It truly requires immense pressure and a bit of burning in order for change to arrive.

The pain is still raw and it is my fervent wish that the scars will heal and I will emerge a better man.

I am now on my third month without a means of supporting my family.  I have several opportunities I am exploring, so there is hope and optimism in my future.

How about all of you?  Is there a need for a crucible event in your life?

Look honestly at your reflection and meditate on your existence.  Hopefully you will not need the extremes that I had to experience.  There has to be easier ways for most.

For me, not so much!

I truly look forward to next steps as I am planning on living much longer, way past my father who passed away at 59.

As Les reminded me, this is not my first encounter with a life changing event.  The death of my Dad, A.B. Midgett, transformed me and opened up my world in a way that would not have happened with him still around.

My hope is this is my last crucible, however I doubt it, burn baby burn!
