Greetings Readers!
We are making some big changes to the My II Sense blog in the coming weeks! In doing so we need to halt all blogging activities as we prepare to introduce new blog writers, spruce up the design and other changes to enhance your MIIS experience.
Everything should be completed and the dust settled by August 1, 2009. Thank you in advance for your patience while we make these changes.
Have a PERFECT day!

I, like many others yesterday, watched the touching memorial for Michael Jackson as it was streamed live on CNN.com. For the most part it was a wonderful experience filled with great memories and tribute to the King of Pop.
Unfortunately, during the stream there were some people that decided to take cheap shots at Michael and I found myself getting very angry at the thought of people being so unkind. I mean, if you don't like Michael Jackson why log in and watch, right?
So I'm sitting there getting mad at people I don't know for typing things that may or not be true about MJ and suddenly I begin to experience a humdinger of a headache. Then it hits me – well two things do – 1. I'm wasting my energy disliking these people and 2. This is a perfect opportunity to practice forgiveness.
When you extend the energy of forgiveness to others it frees that energy for more valuable purposes (like manifesting a better relationship, a success business venture, you get the idea). More importantly, there's a certain healing quality to forgiveness that I can't explain. Incidentally, once I changed my anger energy to that of forgiveness my headache ceased!
We could all use a little forgiveness in our lives just as we would all do well to extend forgiveness to others. Here's a simple four step plan to invoke forgiveness*:
Just remember to begin with the most important person that deserves your forgiveness – YOU!
Have a PERFECT day!

"There are three things every successful person must possess: patience, persistence and perseverance. Without them your enterprise is doomed before it's begun." – Michael Stagg
Greetings Readers!
I awoke this morning thinking about a conversation I had on Facebook about pursuing one's dreams. Why do we pursue them? What keeps us going in spite of everything and everyone around us demanding that we throw in the towel?
I know that what keeps me going is the belief that what I'm doing will be of benefit to others. In order for me to make my dream a reality I have to be patient and not rush into things without careful thought. I must be persistent and not stagnant in my pursuit of my dreams. Finally I must persevere even when times are difficult.
If we adhere to these three principles of patience, persistence and perseverance this is nothing that we can't accomplish!
My challenge to you is to review what you're currently doing in pursuit of your dream. Ask yourself am I being patient and allowing the Universe to bring to me all the people and resources I need to succeed? Am I being persistent and constantly following my dream or am I procrastinating? Am I persevering through the tough times with the knowledge that what I'm doing is right for me and will be of use to others?
If you answered no to any of these then make the needed adjustments to realign with your purpose and the energy of success.
