Many of the most successful people in our history had setbacks. Donald Trump and Walt Disney have been bankrupt but it never stopped them from trying again. Some people fail once and give up. The only difference between ordinary and extraordinary is the word "extra." Be extraordinary! Step out on faith. As Martin Luther King once said, "Faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase."

Right Seeing
"Mankind is not in the world to set it right, but to see it rightly.
Right seeing is the passport from illusion to accomplishment."
- Eric Butterworth
Most people don't understand what Butterworth is talking about, because most of us never question what we think we see.
After all, one of the first cliches' we learn as kids is "seeing is believing." Only problem is, it's not true.
We now know that we have a part of our mind that controls what we see. We see what we give our attention to, and we see what agrees with our beliefs, and we see what we expect.
Wrong seeing comes from wrong thinking. If life is tough, money is scarce, love is rare, people can't be trusted, and nothing ever goes right, that's what we'll see. That's the world of illusion, but we think it's real because that's what we see. It's wrong seeing.
Our job is not to fix it, but to see things rightly. To see that life is fun, money is always there, love is all around us, people are just wonderful, and things just seem to work out for us.
When we see things rightly, our live's are transformed. It's the passport from illusion to accomplishment. And it's always been right there.
Right seeing creates miracles!
