"The best way to make a fire with two sticks is to make sure one of them is a match."

~ Will Rogers

I love that.

How’re your matches?

(You know, you mind, body, spirit? They ready to ignite your life?)

…

Did You Know?

"Americans alone spend $32 billion a year trying to lose weight, an additional $45.8 billion on medical costs directly related to problems caused by obesity, and $23 billion on time lost while away from the workplace because of the same problems."

~ Scientific American, August 1996

Yikes. (You’re not in that crowd, are you? If so, what are you doing to take care of yourself? Enjoy the process of creating a worthy temple for your beautiful soul!)

Using a match as one of the two sticks reminds me of Roberto Assaglio’s book The Act of Will. The book discusses several kinds of Will. Where as most of us are somewhat brainwashed to think there is only a Strong do or die Will from Victorian times he presents us with a choice of the Strong Will, the Skillful Will, the Good Will, the Transpersonal Will and the Universal Will. Using a match as “Will” Rogers recommends invokes the Skillful Will and opens the door to all the other types of Will we can access.
