A tiger cannot change its stripes, they say. Some people firmly believe that people in general are incapable of changing.  I am here to tell you that this is bullshit. ANYBODY can change.  Period.  The main issue is – do you want to change? You may question why I am emphasizing want.  That is because even if you need change, you have to WANT it to make it happen.  It is only with a deep, emotional desire to change that

Positivity: Compliments

YOU are an incredible, worthwhile, amazing person. How does that sit with you?  Do you take the compliment as complimentary, or does it make you uncomfortable?  Do you want to deny the statement, humble yourself? One of the best ways to reach a positive place it to learn to both give and receive compliments more freely. We as a society have gotten quite talented at finding the flaws, pointing out the inequities, and criticizing.  We point out the negatives easily

People are creatures of habit. The question we have to ask of ourselves in this matter is – are we creatures of good habits, or bad habits?

Positivity: Mindfulness

Last week I talked about attitude shifters.  This week is a step back, into the notion of mindfulness. What is mindfulness?  Mindfulness is self-awareness.  It is knowing what you are thinking, how you are feeling, and who you are intent on being. It is continuously amazing to me how easily we lose sight of mindfulness.  We get caught up in all the things around us, the attitudes and feelings of the people we surround ourselves with, and that in turn

Language is not just the words you use. When we communicate, we do so in many languages, sometimes all at once. Language is thought, language is action, language is a multi-faceted, nuanced concept.  Dictionary.com defines it thus: noun 1. a body of words and the systems for their use common to a people who are of the same community or nation, the same geographical area, or the same cultural tradition: the two languages of Belgium; a Bantu language; the French language; the Yiddish

I am constantly talking about balance in regards to Pathwalking.  Moderation, knowing the yin and yang and finding what we need in order to successfully walk our paths in this life as we would choose them. There is one exception to this it is important to grasp. We live in a universe of abundance.  Everything we could want or need can be found in this universe, around us, because everything is energy, and we can alter frequencies to move the

When we are constantly bombarded by news of tragedy and inundated with stories of greed and corruption it is increasingly difficult to find positive energy.  All you have to do is read through posts on Twitter or Facebook or Google+ from well-meaning friends and you will experience all the terrible things happening in the world today. It is very hard not to get increasingly frustrated, angry, incensed over the vast amounts of unfairness, stupidity, and
