Choose Amazing Traveling Companions

The quality of the traveling companions you choose can impact your life in many positive ways. This weekend I embarked on an absolutely epic roadtrip. I and three of my companions drove over 14 hours to Nova Scotia, Canada – and back. There was music, conversation, laughter, and a generally fun atmosphere throughout the long drive, and it was totally amazing. The traveling companions you choose can make all the difference between an okay time and one that is incredibly

Age, Like Time, is Relative

Age is only a number and as such has whatever meaning you assign to it Today is my birthday. I love birthdays. They are personal holidays, and I have always been a fan of celebrating them. This is your unique, singular Happy New Year. Birthdays can be an incredible source of positivity. Some people see them this way. I know I do. But some people see birthdays as an increasing reminder of their pending mortality. Every year marks another year

The Adventure is Yours to Choose

In what direction would you like to take your life? Every day is a brand new day. Why does that matter? Because it means that every day you get new choices, new options, new possibilities, new opportunities, and more. No matter how the previous day may have ended, you get a new day full of new options. Or rather, you get to choose how to view this new day. You could also possibly see every day as the same as

The Big Picture Can Be a Trap

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   The distraction of big picture matters takes away from how the little things can be hugely positive. It is all too easy to neglect the little things in this world that make you feel positive. Especially when so many bigger picture issues will totally produce the opposite effect. Every day you are bombarded by fear, lack, and scarcity across social media, the news, and even among friends

It Is Never Too Late

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Change can happen at any time. You get to decide when to choose. It is never too late to take a new path in life, and change things for the better. There is, in our society, something of a timeline for things. In your late teens and early twenties, for example, you are expected to either get your college education or vocational training. In your late twenties

Why Be Happy?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Are you happy? We often shy away from this question.  Why?  Because when we look at the world around us, and all the troubles going on, we might just find that having our own happiness makes us feel guilty. It is one of the most ludicrous things I can possibly imagine.  Why?  Because just about everything we are doing with our lives is to find things that

Why Does Aligning Head and Heart Matter?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Getting head and heart in sync can build tremendous positivity. However, getting the head (thought) and the heart (feeling) aligned can be challenging. One way to get the head and heart in sync is to be more mindful.  Mindfulness, or awareness, can take us to all kinds of incredible places. This is not awareness of the outside world…it is awareness of ourselves.  It is a matter of

Where do Power and Control Come From?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   The only real power and control we have is internal. All of the external expressions of power and control are never ours.  They belong only to those who are wielding them, and will only continue to exist as long as people accept their own lack of them. Yes, when we go to the voting booth, we are choosing people to “represent” us.  Some take that responsibility to

Are You Good to Yourself?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   You are the only you that there is.  Be good to yourself. Too many of us get caught up in the world around us, and as such tend to neglect ourselves.  We are concerned for our coworkers, friends, family, and loved ones long before we are concerned for ourselves. The irony of this is that when you are good to yourself, you are more capable of being

How Are You Stronger Than Depression?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   You are stronger than depression. Depression is a liar.  Depression will tell you all kinds of things about who you are, and they are all lies.  It tells you that you are unworthy, undeserving, and that all bad things are what you can have. But you are worthy, and deserving, and all good things are what you can have.  Depression is lying to you, and though I
