How to Achieve Your Dreams

We all have dreams that we want to make real. It could be an idea for a project as small as trimming the bushes around your garden or as big as changing your career. The burning question is how do you go about making it happen?

The answer lies in Targets and Goals. You could write out a simple list of targets to achieve your goal and in some cases this will be enough, but what do you do to predict possible problems and plan to overcome them? What if your plan conflicts with other your goals?

The Scientology Handbook contains an entire chapter on Targets and Goals. The chapter answers the questions asked here and a lot more besides. You can read some of the articles from the chapter here at Planning for the Future.

One of the coolest things I found in the Scientology Handbook is the "Administrative Scale". The name sounds kinda dry, but the concept described is mind boggling! This little puppy is the tool you need to get your life, your business or whatever under control and to get every part of it going in the same direction. Can you imagine what it would be like if you knew that everything you did was headed towards achieving your goals? Well, the Administrative Scale (Admin Scale to his friends :) ) is the way to go!

Have fun with your planning and success in achieving your dreams!

A Man's Life is Changed by a Website

Good news seems to be in short supply these days, so it's great to see an upbeat article about something good that happened to someone: How the Scientology Handbook Helped Me

A large part of the book in question is online at: Scientology Handbook

Tackling Crime in Southern Italy

You know, so much money is spent warehousing prisoners, and such a high ratio of prisons return to the streets and commit crimes again. If we could put some effective rehab into prisons it would not only save the lives of the prisoners (and all their victims) but think of how much money could be put into programs to improve our communities, give incentives to people to start new businesses, build parks, protect the environment and improve education!

I just found an interesting story about the Scientology Cavalcade in Bari, Italy which is what got me thinking about this.

Apparently this city is infamous for the amount of crime in the city. A survey was published on June 26th that found that 60% of the people of Bari wouldn't have any problem moving away from the city. I think that's pretty significant, because the Italians I know seem to be about their home towns.

The Scientology Volunteer Ministers European Cavalcade are working with police in the city to help with this problem.

It makes sense to me.

A few years ago I spoke with a Scientologist who did volunteer work with young offenders, using some of the materials from the Scientology Handbook. She was so pumped about how well the kids she was working with were doing. So I think this is a terrific idea.

So, what IS Scientology?

There is so much interest now in Scientology after this week's BBC Panorama show, I've had friends ask me about Scientology more this week than any time I can remember.

There are some good sites online that tell a lot about Scientology. Of course there is the official Scientology site but another site I like to tell people to visit is the Scientology Press Office and a site that has the online version of the Scientology Handbook which is particularly good because it includes information you can use. Scientology is a very practical religion and the best way to learn about it is to use it. I'd had friends tell me about it for years but it wasn't until I tried using Scientology that I realized, on a very personal level, just how valuable it is.
