“Problems exist only in the human mind.”
-- Anthony de Mello
For most of us, there’s always a long ‘to do’ list. That’s a fact.
And it’s easy to feel victimized. ‘Poor me!’ That’s not a fact – that’s a choice.
Experiment with your life to explore how much your mind is your jailer. Simply let go of the ‘oh woe’ kinds of thoughts. Silence your mind. Be right here, right now. Decide what you will do now and do it, without buying in to the mind’s sob story. When one task is done, you can then choose another.
Allowing the mind to agonize about the size of the ‘to do’ list just makes us tired before we even get started. It doesn’t have to be this way.
“Don't water your weeds.”
-- Harvey Mackay

There are worse places to be than where you are now. There are also many better places to be too. But you are, from a certain perspective, in the proverbial right place at the right time. Believe that with all your heart and you will find it to be true.
TOKYO–The wife of Japan's incoming prime minister Yukio Hatoyama is a lifestyle guru, a macrobiotics enthusiast, a cookbook author and a retired actress.
Miyuki Hatoyama also says she was abducted by aliens nearly 20 years ago and taken to Venus.
She wrote in Very Strange Things I've Encountered, a book published last year, that she visited another planet before she divorced her first husband.
"While my body was sleeping, I think my spirit flew on a triangular-shaped UFO to Venus," she wrote. "It was an extremely beautiful place and was very green."
Her husband at the time dismissed it as just a dream. "My current husband has a different way of thinking," she said. "He would surely say, `Oh, that's great!'"
Hatoyama, 66, said she also knew actor Tom Cruise in a former incarnation – she says he was Japanese in a previous life – and wants to make a movie with him.
"I believe he'd get it if I said to him, `Long time no see,' when we meet," she said in a recent interview.
Hatoyama has appeared on TV variety shows to discuss topics ranging from spirituality to politics, and became an important part of her husband's election campaign.
She performed a moonwalk while campaigning for a Democratic candidate last month, a Japanese newspaper reported.
Yukio Hatoyama, who heads the Democratic Party of Japan, will be installed as prime minister Sept. 16.
Hatoyama, 62, once said of his wife: "I feel relieved when I get home. She is like an energy-refuelling base."
