The Strangest Secret is a rather timeless message written and recorded by Earl Nightingale. Besides this article to read at http://www.nightingale.com/AE_Article~i~22~article~StrangestSecret.aspx, there is a short movie you can watch at http://www.thestrangestsecretmovie.com/.
Most people reading or hearing this message will have missed a very important point and that is "Success is not the result of making money; earning money is the result of success — and success is in direct proportion to our service."
At the end of the article there is a 30 day exercise you can do to course correct your attitude if you are having some anxiety about your situation. For this message is about setting goals, in order to do that one must have a goal.
Another timeless message that speaks to this is " If You don't know where You're going, you'll probably end up somewhere else"
If I may share one of my main goals in life with you, it is; To help bring about a Creative Economy that counts value not in terms of money, but as a measure of each individuals successful journey in life. A journey that both teaches and encourages people how to think and act on creative and constructive ideas. As Mr. Nightingale and so many others have said "You reap what you sow" Set your goals or someone else will set them for you.

Learning, Doing, Being: A New Science of Education
Learning, Doing, Being: A New Science of Education [Speaking of Faith® from American Public Media]

What Adele Diamond is learning about the brain challenges basic assumptions in modern education. Her work is scientifically illustrating the educational power of things like play, sports, music, memorization and reflection. What nourishes the human spirit, the whole person, it turns out, also hones our minds.
I listened to Adele Diamond's interview and you can too. There is a podcast on the link posted above. Adele is a Nuero scientist whose studies confirm the absolute necessity of maintaining a Wholistic learning/living environment to engage and maintain a child's cognitive development.
As we know, the nourished Mind and Spirit are inseperable and along with a nourished body will allow for all children to grow into responsible creative individuals who are capable of solving the challenges facing them and life on this planet.
I would challenge you to listen to the podcast and comment on how we can get together to create and expand the kinds of learning communities that would foster these opportunities for all children.
