How is Attachment Persistent?

Attachment is surprisingly persistent. What is attachment?  Attachment is how we as human beings latch onto things.  We become attached to our “people”, or jobs, our cars, our educations…and inevitably our identities themselves. The problem comes from being attached to a specific identity.  If you are happy with who you are, here and now, then it’s not a big deal. If, however, you are seeking to make changes, then being attached to the identity you have for yourself in the

What Will You Do Today?

Today will be what we make of it. Whether you begin your day feeling refreshed or sleepy; excited or anxious; with apprehension or confidence – today will be what you and I make it out to be. It is easy to forget that each day brings about something new.  Yes, there are routines to every single day of our lives.  We wake, we do stuff, we sleep.  Frequently, we simply allow the day to just happen.  We do not accept

Do You Believe?

Do you believe in magic? Do you believe that the world is exactly as it is presented to us every day?  Believe that we are all victims of circumstance, playthings of the Universe, and bound by an uncontrollable fate? Or do you believe there is more? I believe that Consciousness Creates Reality.  We have in each and every one of us the power to build a better world.  All of us are capable of becoming amazing.  It just takes the

Can I Be Strong?

Be strong. I was having a perfectly good day.  And then I read the news.  That was not a good idea. How can I consciously create my own reality when I live in a world that’s so totally messed up?  So, so many things happening out there that are appalling at best, then enraging, and terrifying.  What’s the point?  Why bother? Because I can effect change out there.  I can do good things with my own life, and from there

How Do We Think Individually?

No two people think alike. As I ponder this notion, it occurs to me that if we recognized this fact, we could truly change the world for the better.  If we embraced the differences in how we think, we’d better understand the world around us. Let’s look at the Big Picture.  Those who hold artificial positions of power.  And yes, I mean artificial.  Those who lead our nations, our churches and temples, our businesses are in power because they have

What Matters Most?

What matters is being the best you that you can be. Nobody but you knows who you are.  That’s the long and short of it. Let’s look at a single universal truth.  No matter how we act, no matter how much we strive to be real and genuine, people will perceive us based on their own experiences, expectations, prejudices and knowledge.  They will judge you based on how they perceive their own world, and there is nothing you or I

What Does It Mean to Do It?

Do it.  Two simple words that have amazingly tremendous power. There is something to be said for planning.  Some people need plans to do the things they do in this life.  And there is equally something to be said for impulsiveness, too.  Sometimes you just gotta go go go.  But whatever you are looking at, action is required.  That means you have to do it. For many, myself included, doing one thing led to fear that it would or could

Is It Beneficial To Be Optimistic?

Keeping an optimistic outlook is anything but a weakness. In today’s society, we have a lot of ugly, unpleasant things that get our attention.  Further, we are frequently told that it is important that we “be realistic”, and keep low expectations.  Keep your head down, go to work, do the things, go home. Dreamers are often scorned or shunned for believing that there is more to this life.  We frequently look at people with a sunny disposition or optimistic outlook

Does Optimism Generate Positivity?

Optimism is a good thing. Having an optimistic outlook on life, the universe and everything is at least forty-two times better than not.  If consciousness creates reality, then it goes to follow that if we have a negative outlook, we draw more negativity to us. Optimism and positivity go hand-in-hand.  Both also suffer from a similar stigma.  Many people see optimism and positivity as being pie-in-the-sky, rose-colored glasses wearing ideals.  Sunshine and rainbows, flights of fancy with no roots in

How Do We Defeat Depression?

Depression is a liar. When you suffer from depression, you often deal with a ton of conflicting feelings and emotions that seem completely illogical, and can leave you feeling worthless, lost, and even unloved. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.  If you cope with depression, this may seem untrue, but it is important for me to tell you that.  Even when it is at its worst, making you feel just awful, you are not alone. I have struggled with depression for most
