Davis Goss’ Mind Boggling Blog

I just checked my E-mail. In it I was offered an opportunity to sign up for a self-help program that provided all the answers I will ever need in order to achieve great success, unlimited financial freedom, a worry-free life style, abundant health and enduring personal relationships.
I’m sure it’s a terrific program that will [...]

My favorite time of year! I can’t think of any TV programming I look forward to more than the Olympics… winter or summer. It’s not so much any particular sport as my admiration for the athletes who have committed so much just to be there.

And my heart goes out to those thousands who have [...]

Whether you’re a football fan or not, the “impossible” really happened! The New Orleans Saints won the Super Bowl!

I lived in New Orleans and shared its ups and downs for fifteen years. One of the significant “downs” was to watch the Saints football team lose week after week. During my tenure, the [...]

I just heard the “news.” I was presented with an endless barrage of old and new things to be concerned about, broken only about a lot of dribble that nobody should care about.

Here it is that time of year again when it seems to be fashionable to make New Year Resolutions; to restructure scheduled activities or to resolve a problem or two.

As important as modern day technological tools are, it should be realized that throughout all recorded history, nothing was ever accomplished, no goal was ever reached, no need was ever met and no problem was ever solved that didn’t begin with an IDEA!

People experience resistance to growth because they have been taught that they are the victims of negative situations that have been imposed upon them from some outside situation over which they have no control. This is where the struggle begins. They instinctively feel compelled to confront the situation with sufficient force to beat it into submission. This confrontational approach is the cause of all stress, pressure, anxiety and fear.

If we wish to alter the conditions we experience in this finite world, logic demands that we do so by aligning our consciousness (thinking) with the truth of these “creative and controlling forces of the universe” and let them so dominate the false interpretation that they disappear.
