The Power of One

The Power Of One
I want to inspire and encourage people to make bold moves to improve their lives and the community in which they live.  

Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood...Make big plans, aim high in hope and work.

Daniel H. Burnham
US architect & city planner (1846 - 1912)

This blog "Logs In The Fire" is intended to start a fire in you and to continue to feed it with logs until it becomes an inferno and you reach your goal that is BIG BOLD and SERVES humanity.  Your blessings, financial, physical, spiritual and mental come from the journey you make by Faith.  

My words are based on real stories from my own personal journey in faith and particularly my last bold move that allowed me to raise $6 million dollars for a community development project in two years from nothing.  Yes, this is a true story based and rooted in Faith in God, perseverance, focus and study.

Why should this story be told?
1) Because I believe every living person has the potential to do something spectacular and noteworthy.  Something that will change their lives forever and make a mark on humanity. 

2) I want to live in a better world and I want people with caring compassionate hearts to be the architects of that world. 

3) To provide the reader with some practical tools on how to improve their lives through courageous living. 

4) Because as recent as last night I watched the news and noticed that someone has to do something to make this world a better place to live.

Where Do I Begin
Start with quiet.  In order to know what your role is in shaping an improved world you must acquire an ability to see what is not yet visable in the existing world.  You can only do this through obtaining information and the information comes in various forms such as visions, dreams, and an inward compelling voice that you hear on the inside.  I call it Contemplation and I use various forums and environments to do this.  

For Example:

Sit outside real early in the morning listening to the awakening sounds of your world (whether city or country).  This not only clears the mind of clutter but it allows God's gift of environment to speak to you.  

Early in the morning the peace of God I feel

No noise or traffic around me everything is still.

My mind is open for a word or inspiration today

I draw upon it deeply for what is has to say

I will be sharing other expressions of quiet and why it is so important to the journey of stepping out into the bold waters of the deep.  

Enjoy the journey!
