Where In The World Is Johnny OOPS?
What happened to Johnny? Where did he go? Somehow over the Thanksgiving holiday he got lost or he lost his way. I am confident we will find him again. After all, he is a symbol of your imagination.
Where else but in your imagination would you find a fictional character in a novel who writes his own promotional articles. I know sometimes its hard to conceive of, but then our friend Johnny lives in a reality all his own. Does that sound familiar?
Johnny has been able to do something we could all benefit from. He has been able to get rid of his inhibitions so that he can use his imagination to create the type of world many of us dream of; a world where we have lots of fun and do what we want and believe as we choose.
We could all take a lesson from Johnny, but sometimes its hard to get the hang of using our imagination so that we can become true individuals, and use God’s gift to us of making us thinking human beings who can make our own choices.
Have you been thinking recently of what you are going to do with the rest of your life? The holidays are coming, and this is a good time to resolve to make the most of what you have and be the best that you can.
You can do it. All you need is to have faith in yourself and in God. All you need to do is to shake off your inhibitions and use your imagination to discover a bright new future. You can do it. You can find your new friend Johnny Oops at the same time. He is always off on a new adventure, but if you use your imagination you can find him and what you are looking for at the same time. You can find out where Johnny has gone. You can find your imagination.
When you get rid of your inhibitions and start to really use your imagination to discover who you really are, you are going to discover a wonderful person. You are going to discover someone who cares about others, has a good sense of humor, and has the capability to do almost anything he or she wants to do. You will discover your better half, and then you will be whole. You will discover that this wonderful you has been there all the time.

Personal Success Strategies - The Expression-Repression-Depression-Connection
By: Ken Donaldson | 15/10/2008
We either find a way to release our expression, which may be referred to as "emotional discharge", or we "stuff it", which is synonymous with repression. It is quite normal to have to do some "stuffing" during the course of a day, but what is important is that you have an awareness of that and find an appropriate time and place to release it.
Living Kindness
By: Cory L. Kemp | 14/10/2008
Have you ever watched Rogers and Hammerstein's Cinderella?
The Broadway musical became a television special in the 1960's and a cherished memory from my childhood ever since. The story itself is timeless: boy meets girl; boy loses girl; boy finds girl once again to live happily ever after. The addition of a fairy godmother, magic pumpkins and glass slippers that had to be impossible to walk in brought drama and suspense to a tale whose ending was known to us all along.
