Good morning and good coffee!  Well, this week will have a lot of change and many if not all of us will have some emotional experiences and reactions.  However, we do not want or need to have our emotions dictate our thoughts and actions.  That is why I want to share with you the topic of Critical Thinking, where we use evidence based logic rather than emotions in our decision making and interpretation of life events.  Today I will address six skills to help you with improving your critical thinking patterns. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/larry-quicksall/message

Good Morning and Good Coffee!  Today we continue with Jack Canfield's book, The Success Principles, and how important it is for us to accept 100% responsibility for everything that happens in our lives.  This can be a hard concept to get, so let's talk about what he writes about.  In our morning devotional we focus on using discernment to know and recognize the voice of Jesus when our world is so cluttered with a multitude of voices trying to get us to lessen to them.   --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/larry-quicksall/message

Good morning and good coffee!  I hope all of you had a very Merry Christmas with your family and friends.  One of my presents we a new Kindle Fire, and I downloaded a free book that I started reading... and I Love It!  It is titled The Success Principle by Jack Canfield (the guy who did all those Chicken Soup for the Soul books).  Within the first five minutes of reading the book was speaking to me, or should I say that it was repeating what I have been teaching people in therapy for years.  His fresh way of speaking to the subject has been a pleasure to read.  So, this week I am going to share with you some of my favorite parts from the beginning of this book.  In part two of the podcast we explore how Jesus is the resurrection and the life, and the life he wants us to have is the life of him living in and through us.  How can this be?  Join with me in today's podcast and we will find out. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/larry-quicksall/message
