Who Wants to Feel Good?

Clearly, fewer and fewer people want positivity or to feel good. It is time to accept the truth, and I am going to do that here. Nobody wants to feel good. Everywhere you turn its bad news, terrible things, division, hatred, anger, and on and on. Spend 5 minutes on Facebook and you will receive a ton of negative messages. The negativity only seems to get bigger and bigger. Clearly, I am in the minority with my work to find

How does Gratitude Empower You?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Gratitude is an important aspect of positivity, abundance, and empowerment. Why is gratitude so important? Because feeling thankful leads to feeling fulfilled. Fulfillment through gratitude empowers you. Feeling empowered opens you up to mindfulness, which in turn opens you up to conscious reality creation. When you can consciously create your reality, you can achieve dreams, goals, and aspirations. And when you feel fulfilled, that feeling of completeness

Can Logic and Emotion Coexist?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Logic and emotion can coexist, but it is often in a form of détente. Logic and emotion are another term for thought and feeling, two of the necessary ingredients for conscious reality creation.  In order to manifest anything we desire in this life, we need to begin it with thought, empower it with emotion, and then get it moving with intentional action. For many people, though, logic

Should We Be Stubborn?

Like everything in life, there are times to be stubborn, and times to be more flexible or yielding. How do you know when to fight and when not to?  This is dictated by a combination of logic, reasoning, and emotion. Some fights are on a pretty grand scale.  For example, politics in the United States.  Resisting the anti-science, pro-business, anti-intellectual rhetoric and policies coming out of Congress and the White House is something of an imperative.  If we do not

Does it Cost Anything to Be Kind?

Be kind.  To yourself, to others whether they are family, friend, or random stranger. The world could use more kindness. I think one of the reasons so many people feel so defeated is because we are not only inundated by tremendous amounts of negativity, but also awful people.  So many people doing such terrible things, whether great or small.  A total lack of decency, let alone empathy or sympathy or any amount of kindness pervades too much of the world

What Tone Will You Set For Today?

I get to set the tone for my day. Will it be a good day?  A bad day?  Will it be a productive day?  Is this going to be a day of total time mismanagement?  I alone know and choose what it will be.  It’s entirely up to me. It can be really easy to forget, when all is said and done, that we are in control of our emotions.  Yes, things happen outside of our control that could trigger

How Does Inspiration Create Positivity?

Inspiration comes in many forms. Different things inspire different people, of course.  People can find inspiration in any of the five senses.  The taste of chocolate.  A piece of music.  The smell of fresh brewed coffee.  Sunlight in your eyes.  The feel of silk beneath your hands.  That sense of comfort and love from those closest to you.  Any of these alone or in combination can spark the imagination and inspire great things. Inspiration has been personified throughout history.  The

How Does Giving Create Positivity?

Giving is an amazing force for Positivity. Some people go through this life and make accommodations for others, take time to help people in a myriad of ways, and do things for people without a second thought.  They are people who give time, energy and more, so that others may benefit.  They don’t even consider what they do to be giving. Giving is a powerful tool.  We have an amazing capacity to give on an incredible number of levels.  We

How Do You Choose To Feel Today?

Do you want to feel good or bad today?  Positive or negative?  Empowered or disempowered? Despite the insanity of the world at large, or our jobs, or our families and friends, or any other outside influences, WE get to choose how we want to feel.  It’s our decision to feel good or bad, strong or weak, empowered or disempowered. This feels like a lie, doesn’t it?  Welcome to Monday, the start of the work week.  Oh look at the continued

Why Be Polite?

It costs us nothing to be polite. When did we become so impolite?  What happened that, as a society, we accepted rudeness, inconsiderate people, and selfishness to be the norm? Walking through some stores, I was stunned how many people just cut us off, stopped in the dead center of a busy aisle for no good reason, passed dirty looks when I said excuse me, and let their children just run about without a care.  I thought about it, and
