Sometimes Should Doing Nothing Be What We Should Be Doing?

The constant go-go-go of our culture isn’t healthy or sustainable. I frequently write about the need for action. If you desire to make any changes in your life, you must act. Conscious reality creation, mindfulness, and any work to manifest anything you desire requires you to do something. Rather than living life passively, going with the flow, and allowing life to just live you – taking action, doing something – is how you can be in control of who, what,

Why Does Where You Put Your Focus Matter?

If you focus on what you can’t control, you cede your power. Between world news, politics, celebrity gossip, and everything else that the news media and social media tend to share and spread – it’s easy to get caught up in the bullshit. And I do mean bullshit. I’m not saying it’s not good to have a general idea of what is happening in the world at large – but when that’s your primary focus, you shouldn’t be surprised when

How Do You Focus on Useful Things in the Face of Information Overload?

Inundated with information overload, how do you shift your focus to what you can control? Let’s face it – the world is mad. Spend any time whatsoever on social media, watching or reading the news – and you’re bombarded by all the evidence of the madness – and then some. The 24-hour news cycle doesn’t make us collectively more informed. In truth, it makes us more scared, distressed, and unhappy. We don’t know the world around us and what’s happening

Is Focusing Scattered Attention A Challenge for You Like it is For Me?

The name implies that scattered attention is scattered. But is it the same for everyone? I have a lot of metaphorical irons in the fire. These include: Working for an amazing entrepreneur part-time Editing existing work to send to the editor Working for an awesome web-training company part-time Writing the first book of my new sci-fi series Various things for my medieval reenactment society A web3/Metaverse game project Putting together my first speaking project It’s exciting stuff. This all works

Are You Really, Truly Ready to Give Up Your Hope?

Don’t give up your hope. That’s what they want. Don’t give up your hope. It is neither a weakness nor does it disempower you. The doom and gloom across the world presently are deeply distressing. There is the utterly ludicrous and crushing invasion of Ukraine by Putin and his army, the seemingly never-ending battle with the COVID pandemic, and the terrifyingly regressive leaked US Supreme Court decision, just to name a few things. Each on its own is overwhelming doom

It’s Not All Doom and Gloom

Yet the media showing us nothing but doom and gloom sells. It’s impossible to avoid. If you read or watch any news source whatsoever – it sure as hell looks like everything is coming apart. Between climate change causing unheard of weather conditions; distressing and authoritarian laws taking away women’s rights; racism, sexism, classism, and a mad mad mad world – the doom and gloom is everywhere. To be honest – we can’t just close our eyes, pretend it doesn’t

Don’t Trip Over How

Along any given path it’s easy to trip over how It’s been a decade since I began to seek, find, and walk my chosen path. This has occurred in fits and starts, with some success here and achievement there. But there is one hurdle, one obstacle that still tends to trip me up. How. Further, this gets complicated by walking the line of reality as it is now versus as it could be via conscious reality creation. I know where

Today Is a New Day

New day, new options, new choices – what will I do? When I woke up this morning, I had a choice. Focus on the problems, concerns, issues, and various negatives in my life. – Or – Seek, find, and/or create options, solutions, potential, possibilities, and positives. Choosing positivity over negativity cannot be in denial nor disregard for negativity. That’s how toxic positivity comes into being. This is about approach, intention, and action. But before I get into this, there is

Focus on What You Can Control

Be mindful when you focus on matters outside of your control. We live in a mad, mad, mad world. Here in the United States, we’ve reached this bizarre place where a lot of people believe in a demonstrably false reality. Despite all evidence and logic to the contrary – they buy into any number of lies told to them by politicians, business leaders, religious leaders, and so on. If, like me, you question things, strive to learn, grow, and evolve

Focusing Within Gives You More Control Than Focusing Without

I need to put less into focusing on the things outside of my control. We live in a crazy world. After a year that featured massive, necessary social change due to a pandemic, an awful election and ongoing ugliness after it, and massive uncertainty – there is a light at the end of the tunnel. But that light isn’t the same for everyone. For some people it’s daylight – for others, it’s an oncoming train. This is largely dependent on
