WELCOME TO THE WINNER CIRCLE FOR THE MONTH OF AUGUST 2009(Because we all are winners!)
Welcome Zune networkers, loyal readers and friends. This month is addressing loneliness.
Loneliness is something most of us dread, but even loneliness has its positive aspects. Loneliness can be painful, but, as with other things, it is your attitude toward loneliness that counts. You can take a negative attitude, in which case you may either run from being alone like the plague or wallow in it, immersed in self-pity.
You can also take a positive attitude, recognizing it as an essential experience of every human being and using it creatively as a resource for knowing the self, and discovering your center and focus in life.
It is only when we can stand alone, when we can admit our separateness, that we can make full use of our individual resources to set about finding our meaningful connections with others.
You see, when the love and understanding with which we reach out to others is based upon a true sense of the self that we have discovered in confrontation with our loneliness, then it is based on reality instead of on false expectations.
You alone can change yourself. You alone can make a decision for growth. You alone are the central point of reference in your life.
Knowing these things can be a lonely experience, but out of it can comea greater strength and confidence in your ability to meet life and provide inner security that fear cannot destroy.

WORDS OF WISDOM SERIES FOR THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY 2009
When you're feeling all at sea, or tossed about by life's occasional
stormy weather, do you maintain some safe anchor points? When everything
seems to be changing around you and you're feeling a bit out of control,is there a rock of stability you can hang on to until you get your bearings again?
We all need some stress and tension to give our lives zing and
motivation, but too much at once can be a real problem. If your marriage is shaky, your son has just dropped out of school, and someone has just
run into your car at the supermarket, you don't need any more changes for a while.
Keep at least some things stationary by returning to and maintaining customary activities or familiar habits. Touch base with old friends who
know you well and with whom you feel completely comfortable. Find an island of calm and create some respite for yourself, so that you can
return to the mainland of temporary chaos feeling rested, restored, and clearer about who you are and what you really want.
Whether it is a small summer cottage, a special fishing cove, a
campground by a river or a trip to a day spa, take some time to indulge yourself during times of rapid change.
Return to your personal anchor of peace and quiet for a while. It's a practical tactic in a good strategy for coping with change.
