>I was just thinking that I am always asking "how" and we discuss things like that...and I was reading last night this article in this booklet called Conversations ...put out by Neale Donald Walsch...I am not sure how I got on it because it is 36.00 a year or something but I sent in money as a gift once and I guess that is how...anyway...I don't know the legality and all that but I am gonna quote something and hope that is ok to just say where i got it from....blessings! tiffani

>From an article entitled Sunrise or Sunset by Neale Donald Walsch in the April 2002 edition of Conversations:
>
>"Everyone has time and the ability to affect world events, because everyone is doing it anyway, ever day, through the way that they live their moment-to-moment lives.
>
>The question is not whether you touch or impact the world, the question is, how?
>
>You can impact the world uncounsciously or consciously, unwittingly or on purpose, unintentionally or with every intention.
>
>Decide to become a spiritual activist. The first step in this process is choosing to demonstrate in and through your own life what you would like to see in the world at large.
>
>If you own or manage a company, try moving to a management style of complete transparency...In your social life, look to see how manh of your close friends belong to another ethnic group, or worship in another religion, or earn outside of your own income bracket. See what it would take to expand your circle to include more of such people, not artificially, but as a genuine consequence of genuine interest in and love for other people.
>
>During an average day, count the number of times that you simply stop what you are doing for a moment and depply breathe in the experience of your oneness with all things ( tiff"i" - i like that one). Decide to actively notice the essential unity of life wherver you see it -- and choose to see it wherever you look.
>
>Ask yourself if you are living in a truly sustainable way. When was the last time your really looked at what you are doing, how you are consuming, and what, if anything, you are wasting? (tiff - loaded question...this one we can all work on) Doublecheck, and decide to renew your efforts to protect our ecology while you help to grow our economy.
>
>Look withing yourself to see if there is any place in which violence resides. Can you be verbally abusive at times (tiff - guilty!) Have you been known to become physically threatening?
>
>Take an emotion inventory. How often do you become angry? Annoyed? Frustrated? Upset? How often do you display happiness? Love? Sheer joy?
>
>Do the energies with which you fill the air make the air feel lighter? When you walk in to a room, does your very presence heal the room?
>
>When was the last time you smiled at someone for no good reason? When was the last time you said hello to a stranger?
>
>Are these things important? Does any of this matter?
>
>Please let me tell you, few things in the world matter more. It is in the moment-to-moment of life that life is created -- for you, individually, and for the world at large.
>
>Is the sun going up, or coming down? That is up to you. What do you expect? What do you anticipate? Remember this: What I want in the room I must bring to the room, what I want in the moment, I must bring to themoemtn. Life awaits your decision."
