Another fantastic week for "The Good Wife." "The Seven Day Rule" was an episode that probably worked ok on its own, but seemed designed specifically to benefit long-time fans with a complex narrative (not seen all too often on network procedurals). It incorporated familiar aspects and faces (particularly the appearance of Neil Gross, the CEO of ChumHum, one of the show's favorite Google-esque targets), but it also played upon old rivalries and set up plenty to come.
The Case of the Week mostly took a back seat to the emotional arc, which dealt with Alicia's sudden promotion to equity partner. Alicia's feelings on the matter - from initial confusion, accepting revelry, further confusions, disappointment and eventual cynicism (ending with acceptance, if not revelry) - were felt alongside those watching. "A fourth year, made partner you say?" Well it is St. Alicia. But "The Good Wife" tends to not be so transparent in its fan service, so surely something was up? Oh, indeed.
The first blow came from David Lee, who loves to spoil a party, that the equity part of the partnership means that a $600,000 buy-in is required. Later, he slips in, in front of Alicia, that Cary was also made partner, truly souring her day (despite their alliance). Later, on the stand, she finds out that all five fourth-years were made partner. By the hammer of Thor! Pout time!
It was interesting that Cary approached the questionable partnership offer with far more pragmatism from the start than Alicia. Cary first sheepishly shrugs it off to Alicia, and later tells Kalinda that, assuming he can raise the capital, he's all for it. As Diane points out to Alicia later, it's not necessarily about why you are asked, but simply that you are.
That whole idea plays in nicely to the ethical undercurrent running through this season and last - is Lockhart Gardner always in the right? Did they pass the burden of their debt onto their clients to settle when they shouldn't have? Despite Diane's protestations, one wonders, and thinks back to those murky times when the firm was willing to do anything to get Hayden and the creditors off of their backs.
Two things remain consistent, though - Alicia will always tell the truth (perhaps selectively) and Hayden will always reward kindness, but puts good business sense above all. Those elements were important in "The Seven Day Rule," where Lockhart Gardner was victorious once again over its oppressors (for better or worse) when trust and loyalty were tested. And even Alicia, who pouted through most of the episode, found a way to soldier on.
What the firm - as in David Lee, with Cary and Alicia watching - did regarding Gross and his fiancée, though, was pretty unconscionable. For them to want to do right by their client is one thing, but to create arbitrary parameters - to lie, simply put - in order to strain their relationship? David Lee's philosophy is to rile them up enough to get the concessions you want, but not enough to end the relationship. It's cold, it's a sad commentary ... and evidently it works. But is it right?
"The Good Wife" has never held the legal profession or politics in a very high regard, which is one thing that makes it such an honest show - it doesn't sugar-coat. Things aren't always clear regarding right and wrong, and often the show doesn't really take a stance one way or another. Did Alicia believe that there wasn't a scheme at Lockhart Gardner to pretend to have an influx of cash by making fourth years partners? Evidently fed up with white lies for the day, Alicia also refused to kowtow to Eli's wish that she say she believes in God. Was that right?
So what makes St. Alicia a saint? (And can I just say that that as a meta moment about made me fall off of my chair). Is it that she is what people want her to be, or more that she can just be relied upon to speak truths? Though Maddie used her and abused their friendship, Alicia was still drawn to her initially as a strong woman who didn't stand down from making her beliefs known. While Alicia may not approve of the approach, she (even drunk!) seemed to admire the fact that Maddie was willing to speak out clearly, and not sidestep regarding her atheism. We'll find out next week how that played in the polls - for both Maddie and Alicia - but in the meantime it was an interesting commentary about St. Alicia making a stand, something Season One Alicia probably wouldn't have done. If Peter wants to be with her now, it's going to be honest and on her terms (which he, if not Eli, seems just fine with).
In the end, a really solid and complex episode from the show, in what has been a pretty exceptional season.
Musings and Miscellenea:
- This episode was great at peppering in a little of this and a little of that. Just the right amounts. And I'm always happy to see David Lee!
- "Live and learn, young protégé." - David Lee. I would love to see him actively mentor Cary. I think Cary would be great at what David Lee does.
- "Objection, as to shenanigans" - Diane.
- What was up with Diane's look at the end of the episode? Was it pleasure that Alicia decided to join forces with them, followed by suspicion at her fake thanks?
- Oh Canning, you just never stop using your disability in any way you can. And yet it's so brilliant and entertaining! Most of the time though, while it does buy sympathy, it does not always equal results.
- So will Alicia finally take Canning's job offer seriously?
- Oh Hayden attempting to reform the legal field one good heart at a time. Godspeed.
- Kalinda has been shunted off to the side recently, but it's not been bad. I felt like some scenes were cut out though re: her contract negotiations with Will.
- I love it when Alicia gets drunk, because it allows her to go up to Maddie, smile and say "Hello, have any friends?"

Sunday evening we got a sneak peek at New Line's forthcoming epic adaptation, "The Golden Compass," the first of what producers hope will be a trilogy of films adapted from Philip Pullman's kid fantasy books.
Journalists piled into the Olympia and screenwriter-director Chris Weitz (director of "About a Boy" and also known as Chuck from "Chuck & Buck") gave a brief, yet charming introduction to the ten-minute clip that played very much like an extended version of the recently-released first trailer.
If you're unfamiliar with the source material (as I admittedly am), "The Golden Compass" is the first of Pullman's "His Dark Materials" series — a set of novels that seems very heady, very…British…as far as epic-scale, $150 million dollar CG-enhanced extravaganzas go. It's set in a semi-modern utopia, where humans live by 19th century-like codes but develop and study fantastically advanced science. Everyone here has a daemon, or a companion animal, who embodies their soul and is one's constant ally and guide. As with most human children, daemons change form until eventually settling on one animal, to represent that person's fully-developed persona.
A scene from "The Golden Compass"
Director Weitz searched high and low to cast the central role of Lyra, and by early indications he's discovered a talented, charismatic young actress in 13-year-old Dakota Blue Richards.
Richards's character, an orphan raised in privelege, meets a bevy of adult characters in her journey across the landscape (and, presumably, into other worlds) played by thesps like Daniel Craig (as her academic guardian), Nicole Kidman (as a beautifully dangerous government liason), Eva Green (as a mysterious witch with uncertain motives), Ian McShane, Sam Elliott, and more.
But on to the footage. Take a look at the trailer up now here for a peek yourself, and you'll see that the world Weitz has brought to the screen is a vast and impressive landscape of modernity, with an adventurous, distinctly British-looking touch (though Weitz himself is American). That means a sky boasting a looming, massive zeppelin and snow-covered Arctic scenery, plus flying witches, shape-shifting animals, and a talking polar bear. Said "armoured bear," a key character named Iorek that helps Lyra in her quest, is given significant front-and-center screen time and will likely draw the most scrutiny from hardcore CG enthusiasts.
Dakota Blue Richards joins castmates and filmmakers at a Cannes press conference
Scenery and polar bears aside, a lot of the onscreen CG is also attributed to the various daemons that appear (and which are some of the more distinctive features of Pullman's series).
The daemons we saw the most of in the trailer were Lyra's companion, Pantalaimon (or Pan), who appears as both an ermine and a cat; Mrs. Coulter's (Kidman) sly, dangerous golden marmoset; and the daemon of Lyra's young friend Roger, who takes the form of a butterfly but is caught by Coulter's monkey in one scene.
Also extended from the trailer was the introduction of Sam Elliott's character, a — what else?? — cowboy named Lee Scoresby. Well, he's more than just a cowboy, he's a hot air balloon-flying aeronaut cowboy, and he helps Lyra and Iorek the armored bear out of a jam.
But "Compass" already looks to be more than your average "Narnia"-like kids adventure, thanks seemingly to the adult appeal of its source material. Pullman took his title from John Milton's "Paradise Lost," for goodness sake, if that gives any indication of the literary and philosophical ideas at the story's root.
Somehow, the literary heritage lends itself very much to the film's British sensibility; one gets the inkling that this could be a way to get the young kids reading classics (or even some grown-ups). Weitz even deliberately kept the bulk of his cast British, and studied literature at Cambridge.
As far as the preview scenes can show, Dakota Blue presents herself strongly as Lyra, with a challenging gaze and sense of wonder so charismatic that it's not hard to believe she can carry the film (and, eventually, a three-part film series).
Likewise, the central adult roles seem distinctively written; Craig as wealthy scientist Lord Asriel has a respectable stiffness about him, but charisma crackles under the surface of control as it did when he was Bond. Kidman is a beautiful ice queen as the sinister Mrs. Coulter. Green (who, before you ask, does not share any scenes with her "Casino Royale" co-star) plays a witch queen whose motives we really know very little about, but who flits about in wispy witch clothes quite alluringly.
To be honest, it's hard not to compare "Compass" at some basic level to the recent "Chronicles of Narnia," another British child protagonist fantasy adventure, loaded with CG landscapes and talking creatures, adapted from a popular series and already headed toward franchisedom.
The filmmakers, of course, dismiss any comparisons; "Compass" is set in a specific, distant universe, with its own mythos and science to obey and its own embedded messages to convey. It also has more star wattage in its grown-up stars, and a single, charismatic child lead to focus on — all reasons why some viewers may latch on harder.
But perhaps CG will be the deal-breaker in lodging "Compass" free, for good or bad, from its peers. Too much dependence on CG for landscaping has in the past been too perfect and distracting ("Attack of the Clones") or too superficial and unbelievable ("Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow"). Further, the all-CG character of Iorek the armored bear may invite criticism due to sheer screen time; the preview footage ended with a rather impressive, though quickly edited, snarl of in-your-face Iorek bear action. To some extent, it may not really be possible to make a convincing talking animal on screen, no matter how deftly crafted. (Aslan, I'm looking at you.)

Luck-One - Servant II the King
Posted 3 years ago
Tags: Hanif. (Luck-One) , Indie , Lyrical , Street Banger
The Curse of the Pharaoh
If this were the Game of Thrones realm, Luck-One's latest effort, Servant II the King, would be called Hand of the King. Thankfully, he hails from Portland, not King's Landing because, if he were hand of the king, who knows how long he would be alive? Manning the boards is producer TMak, who concocts a potent, decadent beat incorporating a guitar section and forceful synths. Luck's standard delivery is powerful, raw, and heavy-hitting, but he occasionally kicks it into another gear, shifting into a double-time flow just to keep listeners on their toes. Servant II The King is the latest single off The Curse of the Pharaoh, which has yet to receive a solid drop date.

A team can cover up a lot of mistakes with one big swing. The Angels have a diminished capacity to do that this year, at least based on the early returns.
The Angels rank last in the American League in home runs. On a night when one big swing could have revived them, the Angels went quietly in a 4-1 defeat to the Texas Rangers.
The Angels got a well-pitched game, but not a well-played one. They went hitless with runners in scoring position. Their lone run scored on a groundout. They botched a rundown in the ninth inning that gave the Rangers an insurance run.
You don't need to hit home runs to win, of course. The Kansas City Royals finished next-to-last in the...

Two steps forward, one step back may be a problematic strategy for running a marathon. But what if life is not a race, but a dance? And what if YOU get to choose which one it will be?

A participant in the Come Alive and Do the Thing! Mastermind has a brilliant term for the use of a supposedly wise observation to critique or diminish another person: weaponized insight.
Don't you love it?
At first it was thrilling to me just to have a term for this phenomenon, but as I sat with it, I started to see some important implications.
The moment an insight becomes weaponized, it stops being an insight and becomes a weapon.
This goes a long way to explaining what's going on when we use our own insights against ourselves.
An insight produces a shift in awareness. It tends to expand awareness, deepen connection, and elevate consciousness.
A weapon has the opposite effect. It shrinks awareness as the person against whom it is being used goes into fight or flight.
It breaks the connection between the one who wields the weapon and the one against whom it is wielded.
And it tends to lower one's level of consciousness to the realms of competition and survival.
Weaponized insights aren't always wielded by others. Some of the most pernicious are the ones we wield against ourselves.
How often have you argued with yourself about why you aren't using your hard-won insights or following your wisdom in some area of your life?
I don't know about you, but that has confused the hell out of me. How can I be so incredibly smart (just saying) and so incredibly stuck at the same time?
It's because I'm confusing self flagellation with insight.
Any so-called insight that calls into question your inherent okayness has been weaponized.
Since there is nothing wrong with you, any insight wrapped in the message that there is, is false.
Something that points at how you are (presumably) broken takes you in the wrong direction–but only entirely.
I used to try to pry the insight apart from the weapon. My logic went something like this.
If I could only get the message of the insight, the weaponized message would not longer apply or hurt.
That didn't work.
The weapon didn't stop being a weapon until I simply put it down, even at the risk of dropping a seemingly good insight.
As I dropped my weaponized insights, I began to see the vital importance of beginning with the premise that every human being is created whole and deserving.
I saw how our relentless compulsions to judge, evaluate, and improve ourselves actually block access to deeper impulses toward goodness and creativity.
And I saw how authentic insight points us toward our underlying wholeness and connects us to those deeper impulses.
Weaponized insights wound and diminish.
Authentic insight heals and expands. It can sting, but the sting is bracing and enlivening.
That distinction is liberating. Play with it. Take it for a test drive. And let me know what you discover.
Have a wonderful, wonder-filled week, and please share your thoughts and questions in the comments on my blog.

One of the many memorable scenes in "The Wizard of Oz" shows Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion finally standing before the Great and Powerful Oz. They have come to present him with the broom belonging to the Wicked Witch of the West after having conquered her with a bucket of water. Oz thunders at them mightily and tries to put them off, but as he blusters and blasts, Toto, Dorothy's tiny dog, pulls back a curtain and reveals that the wizard is just an ordinary man pulling levers in a magic show.
The same thing happens whenever we see through the illusion created moment to moment by our thinking. One minute we are gripped by the certainty that the feelings and perceptions before us are real, and in the next, we see that they are projections of our amazing power of thought. One morning last week I had a realization about a long-standing story I sometimes live about not being a good-enough sister or friend or neighbor. I noticed how I've resisted and resented and avoided that story, and how that sets up a tug-of-war inside of me, an internal argument about being kind. I took out my notebook and made a simple list of related stories that came to mind.
I burned the list. It was funny. The paper in that particular notebook must have a special coating. It resisted burning. On top of that, it was a windy day. I used up half a book of matches failing to burn the list on our burn pile. Finally I got a ceramic bowl and found a place by the front door relatively sheltered from the wind. It still took at lot of matches, but that sucker is burned.
In the movie, after the curtain is pulled back, the phony wizard is able to endow each of the characters with his or her wish. How does a phony wizard pull that off? He does it by revealing to each of them that they already had what they sought. The Scarecrow may have thought that brains lived in the diploma, which the Wizard granted him, but we know that his intelligence was there all along. The Tin Man's heart was apparent throughout the movie, long before the Wizard gave him a heart-shaped clock. And the courage of the beloved Cowardly Lion shone through repeatedly as he shivered and shook, but stayed the course in spite of his fears. Clearly his courage was not the result of receiving a medal. And Dorothy? Dorothy wanted to go home. Home, a place that lived right there inside of her.
You could say that the magic of the Wizard was to show each person that they themselves were the power behind the illusions they had been living, and that they had equal power to see through those illusions and come home to their wholeness and wellbeing. We have that same magic at our disposal. Whenever we see through our thoughts to the intelligence and wellbeing of which we are made, we come home. We encounter our intelligence, our compassion, and our courage.
After burning my stories about not being nice or compassionate or caring enough, I continued to reflect on those qualities. After all, I do want to be kind, compassionate, and caring. I noticed that thoughts about care and compassion can come from many sources. When it comes from an identity that is attached to being good enough, an identity that wants to be liked, or any other identity projected from a sense of insufficiency or incompleteness, thoughts about care and compassion are rooted in those things. But there are other times when those thoughts seem to stem from a different identity, one that is resourced in lovingkindness and that is not afraid or attached to outcomes.
Our personal thinking can get very confused about this, but our hearts can tell in an instant when we are operating from lovingkindness, which is another way of saying that we are connected with our true nature. It was good to see that what seemed to be the same drives or intentions can be generated from quite different sources. I don't know about you, but there have been times when I have been trapped in my stories because I was afraid of losing something, like the will to be kind. How lovely to see the difference between the root of kindness, which can never be lost, and my stories about kindness, which can sometimes be quite distorted.
I burned my stories as a physical expression of an inner knowing: that the stories that I live are made of smoke and mirrors. It was satisfying to witness their return to smoke, but in no way necessary. The freedom we seek from our stories is ours as soon as we see that we are always the man behind the curtain. Have a wonderful, wonder-filled week, and please let me know what you're discovering by sharing it in the comments.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away I was a heavy smoker. Heavy as in two packs a day.
One day I decided to quit. It was the last day of a hunting trip in eastern Washington. (Yes, in that other galaxy in that other millennium I hunted ducks and other birds. We had two wonderful Labrador Retrievers, Tide and Yoyo, and I was a hella good shot.)
We hunted in the morning and early afternoon, then piled into the Chevy Suburban three decades before SUVs became the car we love to hate. As we drove over the mountains, I sucked on a bottle of scotch to steady my nicotine-deprived nerves. I was probably eating pretzels, too. I like pretzels on road trips even now, in this different galaxy, this new millennium, decades after leaving nicotine and scotch behind.
I was probably smoking pot, too. I can't imagine that I wouldn't have been.
But I digress.
As we pulled into the driveway after dark at the end of a long day, I said rather irritably to Miles (who in that alternate universe was not yet The Charming Prince), "Watch out for the dog!"
He said, "What dog?"
I said, "The big dog! Dammit. The dog right there in front of the car."
I'll never forget the look on his face, one part tired, two parts disgust, and seven parts WTF?
I looked again.
For a moment there was a dog, and at the same time there wasn't a dog. I did and I did not see a dog until my perception settled down, and I decided that there was no dog.
I know. Confusing.
The reality we perceive, whether the external reality of dogs and doormats or the internal reality of possibilities and preferences, is always in flux and always mediated by perception.
Granted, on that occasion my nervous system was particularly scrambled, but the variables governing reality are still operating, even when they are not so exaggerated.
Our vast capacity to perceive is organized by social and cultural norms, our beliefs and assumptions, life history, language, and our nervous systems, among other things.
Most of the time for most people these variables vary within fairly narrow parameters, with the result that we tend to experience what we call reality as fairly stable.
That saves a lot of time and trouble. We don't have to figure out if the sound that awakens us in the morning is an alarm clock or a white rabbit.
There are times when it behooves us to shake things up, especially when it comes to what we assume about ourselves and what is possible in life and business.
One morning in 1984 I awoke from an alcohol and cocaine haze to the brief vision of myself as a window, a window that was closing. I got out of bed, made a few phone calls, and through the kindness of both friends and strangers, found myself in rehab within 24 hours.
I promise you that the woman who had gone to bed a few hours before that vision did not have the resources (moral, financial, physical) to make that happen. In a very real sense (ha ha, no pun intended, but I hate to pass one up when it offers itself) reality shifted.
In one universe I was a hopeless alcoholic slut (sorry, there's just no nice way to say it), and in the next I was a courageous soul embarking on the sacred project of creating a life.
There are many things you could point to by way of explaining that reality shift. One is grace, and I made a brief video about that. youtu.be/7lbCZs-9Mws
You could also point to choice, and the first and last videos in this month's video round-up speak to that.
In this post I invite you to consider the facticity of reality's plasticity.
What you think is possible for you in this moment is a function of inputs and filters, not of a permanent and pervasive structure imposed on you from outside.
One more story.
Somewhere around 1999 I got the idea that it would be incredibly cool to take my niece, Amy, to Europe when she graduated from high school. She was 15 at the time.
I was still a relatively new coach, and I did not have the kind of money one would need for that kind of adventure. But that seemed to me to be a detail, and I had time to sort it out.
I started a savings account for the trip and added a hundred dollars here, fifty dollars there.
I went about my business, assuming that we were going to do this thing and looking for ways that it could be done.
Along the way, some unexpected things happened. I received a totally unexpected legacy from a friend. I got my first $10,000 contract when a person in the first Authentic Promotion class asked if I would bring it to NASA. (Um, that would be a "Hell, yes!"
Needless to say, those things helped, and in 2003, Amy and I went on an amazing 29 day odyssey to Paris, Rome, Florence, London, New York City, and Washington, DC. (Sometimes I overdo things. Oh well.)
Something to notice: all those lovely unexpected things that happened would NOT have helped if I had set up my reality filters a little differently.
For one thing, I have a whole heap of nieces and nephews. If I had set up my filters based on some notion of fairness, I doubt the trip would have gotten off the ground.
September, 11, 2001, shook up a lot of realities, and if Amy, I, or her parents had responded to that differently, we might never have followed through on such bold travel plans.
I'm not saying that fairness or caution are bad filters; I'm just pointing out that installing them would have made a difference in whether or not the miracles that happened made a difference.
The purpose of all my storytelling today is to awaken your curiosity about the reality you're living in.
I hope that it is one that amazes, delights, and nourishes you and the ones you love.
And if it is not, please know that there are other possibilities.
You have more choices than you may realize.
You have hidden allies.
You are every bit as miraculous as the fragment of a woman that I was on that lonely morning in 1984, and grace not only can happen, it WANTS to happen for you.
As I arrive at the finish line of this strange post, which has meandered like the race course in "Alice in Wonderland," I feel quite wonderful.
In this moment my filters are set to miracle, and true to form, that is what I see and feel.
I don't always experience life this way. I do not control my thoughts, and sometimes my thoughts are bleak, limited, and unpleasant to live with.
But they are only thoughts.
And I have come to see thought as the raw material of our magic making. Just because a thought appears doesn't mean you have to use it to cook up your life.
While planning to take Amy to Europe, I often had the thought that it wasn't fair to other nieces and nephews.
I could be writing the story of how going to Europe seemed like a great idea until the "reality" that it wouldn't have been fair hit.
But that wouldn't have been reality, would it?
Shortly after getting sober, I moved back in with Miles, who, over the next few years, morphed into the man I now call, without a shred of irony, The Charming Prince.
I was plagued with guilt until one day I saw that I could have guilt or a happy marriage, but not both.
I chose to give up guilt.
I could be telling the story of how how we tried to get back together after addiction destroyed our marriage, but the reality of my misdeeds got in the way.
But that wouldn't have been reality either, would it?
Reality is a bit like a kaleidoscope.
You get to look, roll the barrel, and look again.
Have a wonderful, wonder-filled week, and please let me know what you're discovering by sharing it in the comments.

This week's video is an exploration of the freedom to choose. I invite you to reflect on two quotes, one from William James and one from Viktor Frankl, and notice where you go when you consider them. What happens when you focus on the pressure to make a right choice? What arises instead when you focus on your capacity to choose?
"The greatest discovery of my generation is that man can alter his life simply by altering his attitude of mind." – William James "We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way." – Viktor Frankl

I love the sound of the word miracle. It rings with amazement, delight, and a sort of innocence.It evokes the wide-eyed wonder of childhood, the confidence that anything is possible, the hope that good things can arise at any moment from any conditions.
It's a lovely word, I think, with which to start a new year.
But as always, it behooves us to reflect on what we mean by the words we use. When we use words unconsciously, especially in the service of setting and realizing intentions, we risk in the best case a loss of potency and in the worst case unintended and potentially dire consequences.
So what is a miracle?
A miracle is something that surpasses what is known. It is a marvel or wonder that we cannot fully explain or for which we cannot entirely account given our current grasp of how things work.
When we see clearly, everything is a miracle.
Science, which I happen to love, is a system of collecting, correlating, and extrapolating upon knowledge.
By definition, it is limited to what we know and to exploring the edges of what we do not yet understand.
And what we know about life, the universe, and everything is minuscule compared to what there is to understand.
Though research abounds and opinions proliferate, we don't know for certain what people should and shouldn't eat. In my lifetime I have seen a number of scientifically vetted dietary schemes pass in and out of fashion.
I've seen the Big Bang Theory pass in and out of fashion.
I've watched as we mapped the human genome only to discover that being able to do so doesn't actually give us the leverage we were seeking. It appears that life as a living process doesn't operate as a static system of interlocking pieces.
Rather than affecting each other in predetermined ways, it appears that each building block of life influences and is influenced by other building blocks, and not all of them are observable.
The Charming Prince lives on oatmeal, ramen, celery, cheese, and popcorn with lots of butter and salt. He has the blood pressure and cholesterol of a healthy 17-year old boy.
I live on protein shakes, raw vegies, and chocolate. My blood pressure and cholesterol are borderline.
And, by the way, the significance of blood pressure and cholesterol measurements are under question, as are the factors that are thought to affect them.
The point is that each of us manages to live, until we don't, and that we live is a miracle.
It exceeds our understanding.
Everything we do is infinitely complex. If we stopped to figure out how to get out of bed before rising, we'd never get up.
If I tried to figure out how to write this post before writing it, it would never get written.
If you are a writer, you have probably fallen into that particular black hole. If you have done any kind of creative work at all, from baking to painting to starting a company, you are likely to have spent some time in the endless pursuit of understanding how to begin a project.
If you do it at all, eventually you simply begin.
Miracles begin when you decide to begin.
So often we look for the right place to begin. And like trying to figure out how to get out of bed or how to write, looking for the place to begin is precisely what keeps you from doing so.
The beginning is here and now with you.
Begin your miracle-making this year by realizing that you are the miracle that matters when it comes to creating your life.
You are a unique part of the unfolding miracle of life, the universe, and everything.
The miracles you will make this year don't depend on how you stack up against anyone else.
They depend on you being yourself.
Wanting what you want.
Trying what beckons to you.
If you want miracles in 2016, start by noticing that you are one.

Prophethood is not unknown to heavenly revealed religions, such as Judaism and Christianity. In Islam, however, it has a special status and significance.
According to Islam, God (Allah) created man for a noble purpose: to worship Him and lead a virtuous life based on His teachings and guidance. How would man know
