What Are You Grateful For and Why Does Gratitude Matter?

Gratitude is the key to everything good and great. I’ll bet that you can easily point to things that you’re lacking. You might have insufficient money, debt, relationship problems, aren’t thin enough, can’t satisfy familial expectations, and so on. Your home isn’t big enough, your car isn’t new enough, tech is outdated, and so forth. There is nobody to blame for this, per se. But it should come as no surprise given that we live in a fear-based society. Often,

Do You Grasp Your Life to be Lacking or Abundant?

Lacking or abundant – you get to choose how to experience your life. This seems like a lie, right? That lack or abundance is a choice? The short answer is that it is. The long answer, however, is much more complex. First, I want to share my favorite Einstein quote, because it’s an important part of this. “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” That, to me, means that reality is what you and I believe that

You are Enough

Good enough, smart enough, wise enough, etc. You are enough. There is an ongoing notion that there must always be more. More. More! This gets applied to virtually every aspect of our lives. Tangibles and intangibles. We need more money. More time. We need more toys. More love. This sparks pointless competition between people. We look to the homes and possessions of our friends and compare them to our own. Then, we equate success and achievement alongside those comparisons. When

Always Positive is Impossible

Always positive is impossible – but how long you remain in a state that is not positive is a choice you get to make. Many people dislike any push for positivity. Why? Because they feel it’s artificial. You are ignoring major issues both with yourself and the world at large. Positivity all the time, they will argue, is impossible. On the one hand, they are correct. Always positive is impossible. As a human being, you will have experiences that are

Be Mindful of Other People’s Joy

Choose to Be Mindful of Other People’s Joy Your paths will inevitably cross other people’s paths. What makes you happy and brings you joy is not the same for everyone else. For over 28 years now I have been participating in an interactive medieval reenactment society. Through this organization, I have made amazing friends, met people from around the world, and developed some really cool and fun hobbies. Over the last few years, there have been some really positive changes

Are You Who You Desire to Be?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Are you who you desire to be? If not, why not? This is a simple question, certainly, but the answer is likely complicated. As children, we all have dreams and aspirations. You wanted to be an astronaut, or a firefighter, or a doctor, or an explorer seeking new lands and opportunities. The things you wanted to do as a child may have been realistic, or very out

How does an Abundant Universe Impact Positivity?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   We live in an abundant Universe. What that means is that there is more than enough of everything, material or immaterial, that you desire for your life. One of the important reasons to be more mindful is to be more capable of recognizing the artifices of the world we live in.  A lot of our beliefs that we buy into have been bought and paid for by

Are You Being Kind and Supportive?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Being kind and supportive towards others is a sign of strength. Somewhere along the way, this has gotten lost.  From the highest offices in the land to the poorest poor, we have become more uncertain and unkind towards strangers. All too often, people keep to themselves.  But more than that, they are unwilling to reach out to other people for various reasons.  Whether it is their intent

Why Be Better?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   The answer for me is simple.  I want to be better because I know I am not at my best. What does that mean?  That means that, on a deeply personal level, I am aware that I am not all that I can be.  There is room for improvement, and I can be better than I am in many ways. Why be better?  Because I desire more

What is Selfishness?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Selfishness is not what you think it is. This can be particularly challenging, because a great deal of the way in which we perceive our universe attributes much to selfishness.  And while there are certainly some tremendously selfish people out there, much of what people see as selfish is not. I want to begin with a broad definition of what selfishness is NOT.  Selfishness is not taking
