Great meeting today!

First off, I'd like to say that today's meeting was very productive. Without Mr. Mahoney there to "guide" us in our meetings as usual we had to make do with a stairwell meeting. Though we started out a bit chaotic in terms of directions, I'm glad that we were able to quickly shift into specific topics and have good discussions with plenty of input from everyone. Also, It was very exciting to hear everyone's takes on wealth and success and those topics. Guest speakers such as Mr. Ware and Mr. O'Leary helped to enlighten us on their own views and understandings as well and it vas very nice of them to join us and help further our discussions.

As we mentioned in the meeting there are a few assignments to tackle for the next meeting:
1) Try to find some time for yourself over the next week. Take a good chunk of time and just open your minds to the world around you. Write down whatever comes to mind and try and see things through a Transcendental perspective. This can be as simple as sitting in a room and listening to music while staring off in thought or can be a moment such as Mr. Mahoney's pomegranate.
2) Go through your room/house and find things (clothes, old toys, etc) and see what you can get rid of/donate to goodwill or charities. There are plenty of charities accepting donations and by getting rid of these extra possessions that you do not need, you will be helping with people who have nothing in their lives and will undoubtedly help change someone's life. It is the season of giving after all :)
3) If you are still working on the avoiding facebook challenge, keep up the good work! If you truly believe you can keep going then by all means keep going. Try not to limit yourself to just facebook and maybe even branch out to other social networking sites as well and see if you can slowly work yourself away from internet addictions!

You can try any of these ideas (or all of them if you are up to it) or anything else that comes to mind that you think pertains to the club. Make sure to make a blog post of your experiences with these tasks sometime before next weeks meeting, and try and bring in one item that you do not need anymore.
