Do not doubt the potential of others, especially when their cause is Just. As Lincoln said, “right makes right.” Not might, makes right. Philosopherdoc.com .

"The Doctor and the Four Prescriptions." A powerful story and exercise in self-exploration. Who are you, deep down, inside your soul? Independent of the roles you play in society or your titles. How have you defined yourself? Has your identity been forced upon you by others? What did you used to do, that you loved, that you no longer do? What is going on around you, right now, that you have become oblivious to, that you might enjoy, were it not for your inability to slow down, to think, ponder, and wonder? Why do you do, the things that you do? Are you okay with these motivations? What do you incessantly worry about? Are you well balanced in the roles you occupy, and are you living fulfilled in these different roles at home, at work, in your community, and spiritually? Are there aspects of your personality, your inner being, that are not being expressed, or cultivated? This exercise is an opportunity to re-examine your life, to "take stock," and decide if some changes are overdue, to live more fully actualized. Philosopherdoc.com

Let Us Learn the Life Lesson of Yosef, the first re-framer. To BE a light and to SEE the light, in the darkness, means to reframe your past and present, for a better future. “You can’t change the past.” Not true. By changing what the past means, it does change, and that’s how you change your future. That’s the story of Yosef (Joseph). To reinterpret the seemingly terrible things that happened to him, he reframed, reinterpreted his past and present situation. AND! He reframed it for his brothers. 20th and 21st century Psychology has helped us change what events mean to us, so that our beliefs about the past and present do not destroy our future. With a worthy goal, a meaningful goal, purpose, you can continue to “shine” despite the darkness, the adversity, being that example for others, when they are need.Philosopherdoc.com

Luck, Earl Nightingale said, is when preparedness meets opportunity. We must prepare, so that when the opportunities present themselves (and we are constantly being presented with opportunities), we are ready. The vast majority of time, our success is governed by what we have sown, and how we have cultivated it. Not luck. Our success, the success of a business, a marriage, our country, is governed, as Emerson said, by law, and not luck. Look closely at those around you that have achieved success. Tis’ easy to claim that success came to them by chance. Do you really believe that? Or is that the excuse we use because luck is something we believe we cannot acquire, and therefore we dismiss the success of others as something we could never of had and that they acquired by chance? This is the philosophy that leads to resentment and frustration, rather than curiosity and commitment. Philosopherdoc.com

“Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph,” wrote Thomas Paine. Inspiration and Determination are what are necessary to overcome. Whether it is December 1776 or December 2024. If you are fighting for the cause of Liberty, and a new Nation, or for a personal, physical, or professional goal. To strive, beyond the ordinary, despite the challenge, to achieve a worthy goal. Thomas Paine’s words have the power to inspire today, as they did 248 years ago, on the eve of the Battle of Trenton. A victory General Washington and the Nation desperately needed, when morale had reached a new low, and the army appeared to be disintegrating before his eyes. Anything of value takes effort, and resolve. But it must start with a “big enough WHY.” Why, does the goal matter?Philosopherdoc.com

To awake in a state of panic, anxious and apprehensive about the day, is an unfortunate way to start the day. But behold, a method, a strategy, that will help. You may attempt to ignore the anxiety, to deny its existence, to refuse it to grow within you, but this will likely fail. But better questions, that direct you towards more empowering emotions, and a physical action, though quite ridiculous indeed, will necessarily shift your emotional state. And now, you will be better prepared, to not only survive the day, but to get from the day.Philosopherdoc.com

Liberty vs. Freedom? Physical vs. emotional bo***ge. Are YOU really free? Liberty and freedom, though often used interchangeably, are not the same. Liberty is a function of the external. And freedom, the internal. And though few, today, live in physical the bo***ge of slavery, many are not truly free. Freedom! Is the ability to choose one’s response and attitude in any circumstance. To limit negative disempowering emotions, bad habits, excuses, a dependency on social media, and physical vices, makes one free. In chess, as in life, utilize your freedom to respond, rather than react to situations, to achieve your goals. Philosopherdoc.com

Passover, and the Unfortunate Pain That Often Comes with Uncertainty, vs. the Potential and Possibility for Prosperity, Despite Uncertainty. Slavery vs. Freedom? What say you? Certainty vs. Uncertainty? The Known vs. the Unknown? Many will choose certainty, even if it means pain, and lack of fulfillment rather than uncertainty, even if there is a possibility for success, prosperity, and happiness. Up to 80% of the Nation of Israel, held in bo***ge in Egypt, we are told chose NOT to leave, to risk the uncertainty of what freedom might bring. What change are you, right now, incapable of making, because you will lose the certainty we all crave? And how are you simultaneously being hurt by not making the change? Philosopherdoc.com

Distraction and Disputation. Your Brain is YOUR "Bar" and YOU are The Bouncer. The security which prevents negative thoughts, ruminations, self criticism and cynicism from taking hold and ruining the atmosphere, for everyone. Just because thoughts seem to appear, from nothingness in your mind, does not mean these thoughts serve you or your future. Just as a drunk can ruin all of the patrons' experience, so too negative thoughts can spread, adversely effecting the mood, and the ambience of your mind. Banish them from your mind, and forbid their return. Philosopherdoc.com

Your brain is like a bar, even if you do not like bars,. As Earl Nightingale would say, we become, what we think about. On what we choose to focus. That's it. And short of war and catastrophe, living in The West, in a free capitalistic society, what you think about, your attitude and philosophy, will determine the course of your life. In a bar you can focus on many different things, and what you focus on will determine your overall experience, assessment, your opinions of the establishment. So too in your mind. Focus on your "failures," your deficits, missed opportunities, rather than your strengths and successes, and your life will head in a different direction than it should of. Your assessment of yourself, will be one of negativity, pessimism, cynicism, with inevitable disastrous consequences. Philosopherdoc.com

“Happy April 9th Abba (dad), Love David,” with a painting of Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant on it was the card I was greeted with upon my return from work. “It’s April 9th!” my oldest declared. “Yes it is!” I said. And you may inquire, as did I, what exactly does that mean. “Today’s the day Lee surrendered his Army of Northern Virginia to Grant effectively ending The Civil War” he said. “Here’s a picture of Mclean’s house near the Appomattox Court Hourse (pictured below) where the surrender took place.” Happy is he who rejoices as their children eclipse him in learning, and whose children understand the sacrifice and resolve of Lincoln and the Union (at least 360,222 Union deaths, 1% of the population or about 3,500,000 soldiers in 2024) to preserve the nation, and forever eradicate the scourge of slavery from America. Lincoln, self educated emerged literally, from nothing, a dirt floor cabin in the woods, where his mother died when he was 9. 2 of Lincoln’s children died in childhood, and Lincoln battled depression. Undeterred, he achieved immortality through moral clarity and resolve, by doing something no one had ever done: deploying an Army from one part of a nation to another part to liberate a People. As Zig Ziglar would say, “you don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.” Philosopherdoc.com
