“I believe that in all men’s lives at certain periods, and in many men’s lives at all periods between infancy and extreme old age, one of the most dominant elements is the desire to be inside the local Ring and the terror of being left outside…Of all the passions the passion for the Inner Ring is most skilful in making a man who is not yet a very bad man do very bad things.” -C.S. Lewis
Many get hooked in the pornography trap because they feel they want to know what is really going on. They want to study it scientifically. They want to be in the know or in the Inner Ring. They want to know the secrets of others and in doing so feel a warped sense of power. It is not wise to be interested in the secret acts of others. However, it is wise to be concerned about your own secret behaviors. Internal conflict arises when you are different on the inside than you are on the outside. Becoming what is known as a “congruent person” means that you are the same on the outside as you are on the inside. This is what the
InnerGold system teaches. Shakespeare put it best when he said, “This above all, to thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.”

Attitude
“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company… a church… a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past… we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you… we are in charge of our Attitudes.”
- Charles Swindoll
We hope you will have a good attitude today. Have a great day!

“There is a danger in the word someday when what it means is “not this day.” -Henry B Eyring
It is common for me to hear from clients the following:
“I know what I need to do but I just don’t seem to be able to get myself to do it.”
Perhaps you have felt the same way from time to time. I think that this experience is just part of the human condition and experience. We have all felt this way from time to time. One of the ways to help with us is to always remember that life can only be lived one day at a time. There is nothing so challenging that it cannot be dealt with one day at a time or one moment at a time.
THIS DAY is the most important day you’ll ever have!
THIS DAY you can do what is right.
If something has been bothering you for a while, do something about it today. You have already thought enough about it. You know what you need to do so just do it. Maybe all you need is a little nudge, here is that little nudge.
Trust yourself and in your ability to do what you need to do. This is a powerful idea for sure if you will but nourish it and give it your attention.
