MISSION
Thank you for visiting kirkbjones.com. I am Kirk Byron Jones, and I believe that we were all born to play and soar, to experience amazing joy and achievement in every dimension of life. Through speaking and writing, I inspire others to embrace their deeper spiritual energy, thereby unleashing new and dynamic creative power. Such empowerment is not limited to "the few and favored," it is the birthright of us all as children of God.
2 Corinthians 3:6 ends with the phrase, "but the Spirit gives life." Through our thoughts and actions, we play our life's song. Oliver Wendell Holmes said, "Most of us go to our graves with our music still inside us."
An abundant, creative, delightful life is yours for the playing! You were born to play!
Isaiah 40:31 has a wonderful image of persons "flying like eagles." Too often, we allow negative belief systems that we construct over time, to restrict the free flight of wonderful dreams and deeds.
Why not aspire and achieve to ever greater heights in your relationships, your work, and your leisure? You were born to soar!
At kirkbjones.com, you will be introduced to resources that will teach you how to replace beliefs that limit you with truths that enliven you, and inspire your soul's free flight.
