Hello MY Friend
MY PROMISE
Eternity has an ordinary miracle just waiting
for you to discover.
God made sure that each of us has several gifts
right under our noses just waiting for us to
discover, develop master and share them with the world.
Dr. Lew Jensen – Firestarter & Conjurer
The purpose and direction of our lives is to uncover our talents and share them with the world, so please do not tell yourself ever again that you don’t have any talents. We all do. But for some reason we have to be the one who discovers this eternal fact about ourselves. After so many years of coaching artistic talent, I now know that everyone (every single person on earth) has many talents to play with and grow during their lifetime.
After a few years of my own struggles, I finally figured out that life is a journey – not a destination. It isn’t a game of collecting toys and then you win. The “stuff” in our lives doesn’t amount to the real value there should be to “OURSELVES.” The whole value to anyone is the talents and gifts that we can uncover, develop, and share and the friendships and memories that we produce along the way. A great heart is of extreme value.
SIMPLE AND PROFOUND – YET RIGHT UNDER OUR NOSES ALL THE TIME.
(And I found my miracle right under my nose too – check out the history catagory)
All we have to do is wake-up and see with new
imagination and creative new eyes. Oh – I.C.
During my youth I couldn’t help notice that some folks seemed to make the journey through life in much better style – than others. I could see even then, that most people were completely locked into making a living, and if life was like a suitcase, some people seemed to be able to “pack” a great deal more into their living – than others. I wanted a full, rich (and fully packed) and rewarding lifestyle – and I finally found it. But it showed up from a mere “thread of a hobby interest” – not exactly where I thought it might be found.
Half-way through my days, I discovered the secret of growing old starts with a great hobby. And with tremendous enthusiasm I really sank my heart and soul into this new ParaGraphics pastime of mine. Gradually I found a way to grow a great life into my living – and the rest (for over thirty years now) has seemed at times just like magic. In every way, I feel like I have INVENTED MY OWN PARADISE in this lifetime.
Everyone you know makes a living – so that they can then do something else to try to have a life. The wise ones in this life find a way to concentrate on their talents and gifts – and make “that” their living.
The secret of a grand life is to make your living – your life.
And the near perfect way to get this whole “paradise is this lifetime” process started is by starting a great little profitable hobby. Confucius had it figured out thousands of years ago when he said…
“IF YOU CAN EVER FIND SOMETHING THAT YOU LOVE DOING
YOU WILL NEVER WORK ANOTHER DAY IN YOUR LIFE.”
The key ingredient of a QUALITY LIFESTYLE is discovering and developing your individual uniqueness. If you just pick up a thread of interest and never let go – persisting with a great hobby – until you uncover your gifts and talents, will eventually unlock the secret of your whole life and living. If you will dedicate your life to growing your talents to a point where you can then share those unique gifts with the world – there is absolutely nothing better. This quest has been called a magnificent obsession – and with good reason. So, don’t forget…
UNDERNEATH YOUR TALENTS AND GIFTS
LIES THE VERY PURPOSE OF YOUR LIFE…
Once you understand what your true purpose in life might be – the entire direction you should travel throughout the remainder of your days will also show up. So, before it too late, your first priority should be the finding of your own magnificent obsession. We each have a distinct reason for being alive and a purpose for all the struggles that come from this life and living. And with my circle of “super stars” – now I can prove it.
And the second you figure out – this critical uniqueness key – the rest of your life will thrill you. Then you will have such great reasons for waking up and going after your “better life” every single day. I can promise – your view of everything will change for the better. The searching for your own talents will get the fire within you burning, because you will finally be on the right-track and you will know that you are headed exactly where you should have been going all along. Then the most amazing part is a special inward peace and what I think is the real gift from the heavens – TRUE PASSION FOR SOMETHING SPECIAL STARTS TO RADIATE FROM YOUR SOUL AND STARTS TO SHOW UP IN YOUR ARTISTIC EXPRESSIONS. This incredible gift comes as a confirmation of your efforts, persistence and your enthusiasm. Then “nothing on earth” can stop your progress from then on.
WE CALL IT AN ORDINARY MIRACLE
Ordinary to everyone around us – but a miracle perhaps within.
And once you’ve found your own miracle, we invite you to come climb, hunt and grow old
sharing yourself with all of us who are on the same like-minded quest up our own SUCCESS MOUNTAIN.
During the last thirty two years, as I found one new soulworthy person at a time, we have discovered that it is indeed a precious way of traveling in good company. So, as you pursue your own dreams, this path less traveled will turn into a great journey of the rest of your life and what a blessing to be going at your own living with someone who’s soul matches your own. IT WILL BECOME A GRAND NEW DREAM and TOGETHER A MASTERPIECE.
During the process of this “self-discovery” journey – you will also uncover the very reason you were born in the first place. And finding a better way to grow old is the journey of great self-discovery – development – mastery and sharing of our talents – simple – but profound. The entire mission of the I&E Network.
THE GREAT GIFTS THAT GOD HAS GIVEN TO EACH OF US IS WHY WE ARE HERE
THIS IS INDEED A SOULWORTHY JOURNEY
OF THE LIKE-MINDED FEW. AND IT BECOMES JUST
ABOUT AS GOOD AS IT GETS FOR
BOTH YOUR LIFE – AND YOUR LIVING.
The Dr. Lew Promise

My best gift thus far as an artist is happening now. While
at a Bible study a vision came to me. The lady who hosts our
Bible study has a 10 acre woodlot with beautiful oaks and
maples. As I sat there I began daydreaming of a carved
wooden cross standing tall on a pile of field stones along
side was a rustic slab of wood for use as a bench.
Well, I now only have the finish sanding and polyurethane
to complete. Entering and leaving my studio room sends a
chill ( a warm comforting chill ) throughout my soul. The
cross has made my art come alive more than I am able to express. I huge part of the cross and my art coming to life
is the idea that I am giving and sharing my art with another
person.
This giving and sharing has made a full circle and the gift
is mine. I truly believe that this is my miracle; the vision;
the passion, the persistence that made me stay focused, and
the cross that has reminded me who all of my journey is made
possible.
Not only has my miracle become alive, my business has begun
to bloom. I have been commissioned to design a 30″ X 70″
window wall that I just received the OK to begin the engraving. I have also been commissioned to engrave a duplicate of one of my deer heads that was given as a gift
several years ago. I am starting a new venture customizing
long bows with inlays of carved deer antlers. This has all
happened within a few weeks.
There is no doubt that the I and E network has been my “wind”. I am giving most of the credit to my faith
in God and the determination He has given all of us if we
choose to ask Him to join us in our journey.
Life is good.
Choose to have a good day.
