Leave a CommentPics From A Past Life… (Fulton County Fire Dept./EMS)
Posted on August 12, 2008
Filed Under Pictures |
Below are some past-life pictures I recently found. I’ve done many, many things in my life; but they were all things I imagined or dreamed about as a kid. I used to get a real kick out of the old television show, "EMERGENGY!" and, when I grew-up, I got to run about 35,000 ambulance/rescue calls in Atlanta, I got to be on the FCFD Water Rescue & Dive Team with the great Captain Barry Wayne Lipham, I got to drive Fire Engines, Ladder Trucks, and Rescue Trucks, and I got to teach Fire, Rescue, Hazardous Materials, and Emergency Medical classes all over the state and around the world. In fact, the first time I went to the Soviet Union to teach Emergency Responders, I was accompanied by Dr. Gail Anderson — whose father was the Emergency Physician who was the basis for guess what television show — that’s right, "EMERGENCY!" If you let life surprise you, it will.
These pictures are only a small part of a story that is a only a small part of an amazing life — a life that is testament to the fact that THOUGHTS BECOME THINGS! For good or bad or better or worse, I can clearly see how I have created every moment of my life with a thought. Whether you call it, "Prayer," or not, you can imagine desired realities and then live the experience. I had a very vivid and active imagination when I was a kid; and I still do. Thus, I have a very vivid and active life. And, as my life changes and expands, my mind changes and expands. I look at these pictures and I remember how I used to think about the world — how much I thought I knew, and how little I really did. I can still see my old perspective; but I’ve seen other perspectives, now, also. And my world is a bigger and brighter place as a result. I’ll share some more pictures soon… Stay tuned; I’ve done some cool things and seen some beautiful places over the years!

2 CommentsInnovation: There’s Got To Be A Better Way!
Posted on August 4, 2008

There’s a better way to do things; but, if you don’t think about it, or look for it, you aren’t likely to find it. And why should we look for a better way of doing things? We shouldn’t, necessarily. But, if you do want to find a better way, you need to think about how you define the word “better,” how you want things to be better, and why you want them to be better. This is the key to making them that way.

I don’t know why anyone would want to mess with Hazardous Materials — other than the fact it is mentally and physically challenging and SOMEBODY’S GOT TO DO IT… I’ve always sought out challenges… My thought was always that it was way better to know what’s going on than not; and it’s way better to be the guy doing the "helping" than the guy needing help! Knowledge is power; and it is often the only difference between "victim" and "rescuer."

I just received this email from www.PonderCentral.com, where I subscribe to the daily inspirational quotes Ponder has been sending out for over 9-years; and, Thanks! to Jeff Maziarek for using this excerpt from The Belief Formula… I was just talking about this earlier today; you should always remember: before it was here, it was an idea… Thoughts are things; and, "that which is formed comes from that which is not seen." Think about what you want, have faith, ask, and receive.
Here’s the email:
Pondercentral published a new entry entitled "PONDER on THIS for Friday, August 1st, 2008 by Pete Koerner in THE BELIEF FORMULA" on 7/31/2008 5:38:00 PM, written by Jeff Maziarek.
PONDER on THIS for Friday, August 1st, 2008 by Pete Koerner in THE BELIEF FORMULA
"All physical, or formed, things come from the unformed, or non-physical, realm. What brings that energy here and assembles it for us is the overarching principle of the Universe in which we live. Our essence is desire, or the desire to give and receive; our essence is love, attraction, and receptivity. We derive our essence from our Creator; the essence of that which created us appears to be that of love and of giving. You need only “Ask and ye shall receive.” The great ones remind us, “You have not because you ask not.”
We are here as the result of thought; and we receive all things as the result of thought. Some people call this prayer; but regardless of what you call it, it simply is. And it is simple. The answers to our prayers are the things we see and experience – all of them. If you are physically aware of it, it is the answer to a prayer. The answers to prayers are all we know. We just don’t know that we know."

Happily Ever After: Why Are You Still Married?

Do you know why you’re still married? Have you ever asked yourself – or thought about it? Are you still married for the same reason you got married in the first place? Of course, to answer that question, you’d need to know why you really got married. Do you know?
Leave a CommentUp The Creek (with lots of paddles) in St. Marys — Kayaking Pics
Posted on July 31, 2008

When I left the Fulton County Fire Department — and Atlanta — I moved to St. Marys and opened a kayak shop called, "Up The Creek." It started small; but, with lots of help, Up The Creek quickly became one of the biggest kayak tour and instruction operators — kayaking with anywhere between 1-person, up to 80-paddlers on some of our trips! We owned a couple hundred kayaks at one point! The area around St. Marys is perfect for kayaking, offering amazing views and wildlife — and lots of good weather for kayaking. The shop is located footsteps from the St. Marys River, and is within an hour of Cumberland Island, the Okeefenokee Swamp, countless tidal rivers and creeks, and several beaches for surfing.
We had great "business trips:" Whitewater kayaking in North Carolina, Sea Kayaking in Florida, and Coastal Georgia and South Carolina, excursions to Utah, and lots of trips to Cumberland Island in Sea Kayaks. I opened the shop in 1997 and sold the shop to Tom and Julie Monahan a few years ago — shortly after writing "The Belief Formula." You might not believe this, but this kayak shop was actually born when I was a child watching "Sesame Street." I saw a video of a kayaker flipping over and turning back upright. I was terrified and curious at the same time — the perfect seed for a real life experience (curiosity and intense emotion)… I recently found the video clip on YouTube:
So, another childhood impression emerges into my experience… Here are a few pics of the shop, some of the boats and places we paddled:

1 CommentMore Pics: What next? Flying… It Was Only A Matter Of Time. All Dreams Are.
Posted on July 31, 2008

While I was growing up, my dad worked for Delta Airlines; I literally grew up on and around airplanes — and I love airplanes. My parents told me that my first word was, "Airplane." I used to sit for hours watching airplanes taking off and landing; and I always knew I would be a pilot one day. And now, I have had a pilot’s license for about 16-years… I also imagined how cool it would be to fly helicopters; and I’ve been fortunate enough to do both… And, my dad was my first official passenger as a licensed pilot — another complete circle from dream-to-thing.
Flying is a cool thing that cultivates certain character traits — like attention to detail, for instance — and gives you a sense of freedom and a completely new perspective of life and the world. I’ve flown a number of airplanes; and, though I’ve had a couple close-calls due to equipment, I’ve always made it back home. Maybe because I’ve never imagined anything else?

Leave a CommentImproving Your Marriage: What Do You Talk About?
Posted on July 30, 2008
Filed Under Conscious Relationships, Healthy Relationships |
Did you know that what you and your spouse talk about could be wrecking your health and destroying your marriage? It’s true; and most people don’t even realize it. What do you spend your time talking about – news, television, weather, politics, bills and debt, gas prices…? Do the things you talk about stress you out, or do they make you happy? It is important to listen to your own words, as they will show you what you are thinking; and, what you’re thinking is important because it creates your experience and your perception of reality.
