“Citizenship in a Republic”, which, among some, would come to be known as “The Man in the Arena.”
Roosevelt railed against cynics who looked down at men who were trying to make the world a better place. “The poorest way to face life is to face it with a sneer,” he said. “A cynical habit of thought and speech, a readiness to criticize work which the critic himself never tries to perform... Then he delivered this inspirational and impassioned message that drew huge applause:

The speech was a wild success. According to Morris—who calls it “one of [Roosevelt’s] greatest rhetorical triumphs”—“Citizenship in a Republic” ran in the Journal des Debats as a Sunday supplement, got sent to the teachers of France by Le Temps, was printed by Librairie Hachette on Japanese vellum, was turned into into a pocket book that sold 5000 copies in five days, and was translated across Europe.’”

Are you stuck, and don't know what to do?

What secret does a common housefly, a dream and a little girl hold, that could change the possibilities of getting and staying unstuck.

On Love

And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.

Letting Go by Donald Gordon Carty - Letting go is simply making a choice, to no longer allow the beliefs and attitudes that prevent us from experiencing the joy of the moment, to continue to have their grip on our feelings and behaviours and to imprison our thoughts.

Shift Happens Series with Donald Gordon Carty - "Changing your perspective is a matter of choice"

Perspective is part of what makes us human - it can always be changed, shifted, adjusted as new information comes in or as we make new choices.

"...For The Rest Of My Life" showcases a positive agenda of altruism that embraces multiple forms of philosophy based upon faith & adherence to universal truths. As many paths in life lead to the same destination , so does the follower of enlightenment seek various road maps.” - UNITED GLOBAL ARTISTS

From a Blog post by a Listener;

“Just about this time last year, I was discouraged, frightened, disappointed in, and times angry with, myself and my seeming inability to ‘fix’ things.

Literally everything seemed to go ‘wrong’ all at once. Although, in truth, my life had been building in that direction for quite a long time. I just kept applying patches and band-aids and moving forward – or so I thought.

In the midst of the darkest time, I found the following on the net ‘For the Rest of My Life by Donald Gordon Carty’ – and began listening to it every night. It was both lullaby and my nightly prayer ritual – and the only way I could fall asleep.

One morning I realized I had ‘forgotten’ to listen to it – and in that moment I knew the storm had passed – and I was gonna be just fine.” Much Love. - SATSUMA

What would be the one thing that would make your life complete?

You can have anything in life including happiness and I am going to tell you the secret of how to get it.

Winning Love by Wallace D. Wattles - Just as it is true that it does not profit a man to gain the whole world if he lose his own soul, so it is true that good health, wealth, talent and success become valueless to the person who fails to attain happiness and satisfaction in the love-relations of the home. To live in happy love relationships with those near to us is the one thing needful.

Failing to accomplish this, we fail in all. Health, wealth, talent and success are, to a very great extent at least, without value to a person whom nobody loves.

How to get what you want in love is, then, the most vitally important of all studies in attainment.

Our Beliefs and Perceptions by Donald Gordon Carty - Our beliefs color our perceptions very much like what happens to us in a dream when we are asleep. When you are in a dream you are unable to determine the difference between what is real and what is imagined, so it appears completely real. But then you awaken from the dream……… Please listen to this 5 minute podcast to find out more about Our Beliefs and Perceptions.
