The Best
By
Alan Schneider
What does it mean to attain The Best?
I will maintain my focus on the highest point, the
most apparently
unattainable place, that my knowledge and senses show
me now, today,
in this moment, and here, in this
place, both within and without. It means
that I will strive toward that
highest point with all my attention, being, and
resources, and with all
my love.
I acknowledge that this single purpose, this single
intention, will
determine the success that I achieve every day of my
life. Even in
the face of failure, the intention to excel at success
remains paramount –
the emotional binding for the book of my life and
heart.
The Best means that I can and will acknowledge
with sensitivity
the great and subtle chain of involvement that binds
all things together
into the infinite web of life. It means that I will
know with compassionate
understanding that, even though we all must
eventually pass on, it is the
time when we still stand forth in
life, and how we stand forth, that really
matters. It is what we stand
for that matters…
And this highest purpose means that I own my ultimate
and final
responsibility for the way I live my life, day in and day out,
in everything
and every manner of expression. There is no alternative
for giving one
hundred percent, and, in doing so, I will experience the
gift of life in return.
From Alan With Love
(CR 2007)

What We FEEL Is IMPORTANT
By
Alan Schneider and Carol Sayles
As
we live our lives, a great rush of information
continually floods our
consciousness with all manner of images,
sensations, and challenges –
great and small. In the midst of this
condition we nonetheless tend to focus
on certain overarching themes
that stand out as of higher significance than
most others – themes that
we regard as preeminently important in our
existence.
In a recent conversation, Alan and Carol considered and made lists of
concepts that they each felt were of greatest importance in life. They
are given
below. The list will be updated
periodically...
