I Didn’t See That Coming

I didn’t see that coming – but can I choose positivity over negativity for this? Things happen outside of our control every single day. Most are majorly insignificant. Getting cut-off in traffic, having someone hold an elevator for you, unexpected text messages, learning your favorite actor is in a movie, sudden downpours, and so forth. No big deal, these things are frequent occurrences. Some are annoying, frustrating, irritating, and negative. Others are pleasing, encouraging, helpful, and positive. Either way, they

Why Am I Afraid to Succeed?

How does the question “what if I succeed?” evoke subconscious fear? This question has been plaguing my path for a long time. Every time I work on a path I desire to follow – something happens that causes me to abandon it, stop giving it my full attention, and/or self-sabotage. This is, of course, not conducive to success. Why? Why do I always do this? How come I am constantly getting in my own way? What causes me to get

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

Every Thought and Feeling Attracts Like

Like attracts like – whether you believe in the Law of Attraction or not. The past couple of weeks have been personally rough for me. The air conditioner in my car is not working – and we’re having an ongoing heatwave. A plan for additional financial stability fell through. I got to take a literal and metaphorical guilt trip that took up a lot of mental energy. A nerve pinch in my hand forced me to stop fencing mid-practice. My

This Isn’t Self-Help Psychological Mumbo-Jumbo

Self-help involves any and all acknowledgment of mental health matters. Mental health is important. And the stigma that still exists regarding aspects of it helps nobody. A lot of different elements go into working on mental health. Many of these elements work best when combined. Therapy, psychopharmacology, and self-help notions can be used separately. But often a combination of these proves to be most effective. In my experience, the best way to not just find but stay balanced and centered

Repetition versus Insanity

Repetition can be good – until you repeat the same mistakes/errors again and again. The best way to improve any skill at all is to repeat it. Keep at it. Over and over. Repetition offers you an opportunity to build on an existing tangible or intangible thing. It tends to be an action such as writing or painting; altering or creating a habit like no longer chewing on your fingernails or setting a time for daily reading; improving a skill,

You Control Your Mind

How you perceive everything – positive or negative – is yours to control. I don’t know that I can fully put into words the tremendous positivity that comes from you being in control of your mind. But I’m going to try. First – please accept this statement: Human beings are animals. Our brains, however, have evolved beyond the simplicities of survival and propagation of the species. We can dream of new wonders beyond the comprehension not only of the rest

This is Your Permission Slip

Because the Universe ultimately gives you permission to choose any path. There is an unfortunate undercurrent in our society that keeps people down. And it’s made up of some of the most convoluted mixed messages you can imagine. We are constantly shown how people should “stand up for themselves” and “stand on their own two feet” and “pull themselves up by their bootstraps” and the like. Be tough, and strong, and firm. Go to it, go at it, go for

A Change of Perspective

While my perspective has changed throughout my life, I still need a change of perspective today. It is all too easy to look at what you do not have. The things that you have not yet accomplished, the ongoing processes and insufficient results, and on and on. Despite my philosophy and conscious reality creation work, I still find myself looking at what I haven’t got yet. For example – I’m still not earning the kind of money I believe that

Have you lost your way – or – has the way lost you?

How can you recognize the state of your way and what can you do about it? There is no avoiding present circumstances. The world is in the midst of turmoil and change like nobody has ever encountered before. Between COVID-19, ludicrous politics, greed on levels never before imagined, and countless other negatives I could point out here – everything is uncertain. Not just a few things. EVERYTHING. Currently, life IS uncertainty. With a few exceptions, people are finding themselves coping
