Changing Your Life Is Only as Difficult as You Make It

How difficult do you make it? When it comes to finding the best ways to complicate my life, I’m an expert. This tends to come from overthinking things, overanalyzing, self-doubt, uncertainty, fear, and similar factors. Why? Sometimes it’s because of the idea that if it looks too good to be true (or too easy) it probably is. Other times because I’ve long believed that nothing worth having is ever easy. Then there are external factors like the opinions of others,

How is Love the Most Positive Emotion That There Is?

Because love is both bigger and simpler than you think and feel that it is. Shopping at the grocery store, I saw that all the Valentine’s candy was on display. Chocolate hearts everywhere. Valentine’s Day is my least favorite holiday. The reasons are many, and frankly inconsequential to this story – save one. Love is falsely represented by Valentine’s Day. How’s that? Everywhere you look, Valentine’s Day celebrates relationships, intimacy, romance, and various other notions of overblown, romantic love. It

Do You Already Know What’s Best for You and Your Life Experience?

You already know – you just don’t know because it’s too simple to be believable. For over a decade, I’ve been actively exploring how to be the best me that I can be. One of my greatest strengths is my desire to help others do the same. Why? Because all of us are on this planet together. At the very least we must coexist. But tolerance isn’t enough. We’re capable of more and better. That’s because everyone has a deep-seated

For more info, see my disclosures.   Why is being mindful all the rage in the self-help world?  I can tell you that there is more than one answer, and they are likely all right, and all wrong at the same time. The concept of mindfulness and being mindful takes in a lot of different approaches.  Meditation, psychiatry, self-help and philosophy all apply the idea in order to better ourselves and enrich our lives.

Why Do You Deserve What You Desire?

Why do you deserve what you desire?  The short answer is simply – because you do. The slightly longer answer is because you deserve what you desire because you are capable of creating an incredible life where you are content and happy, because you can. The much longer answer is that you deserve what you desire because we live in an abundant universe.  Because of that abundance, and our power as creators, we are able to manifest our desires, and

How do you remain optimistic and focused on the path in the face of injustice? When you see that the world seems to be going mad, and the bliss of ignorance seems to be reigning supreme, how do you keep at it? The short answer is – you simply do. You have a path. You have made a choice. Keep at it. The longer answer is – some days it feels as though nothing you do will matter. You watch

Pathwalking 148

Manifestation can be quite the paradox. On the one hand it is astoundingly simple. On the other hand, it is intricately complex. It is in fact both. I believe, however, that the hardest part of manifestation is the basic idea of what it is you want. I know that a lot of people see this hooky-spooky bs. New-agey mumbo-jumbo. However, I have first-hand experience with making this actually work, and I know that it is more than just possibility, but

Pathwalking 123

Pathwalking can be as simple as 1-2-3. However, we have an amazing capacity for over-complicating our lives.  Every day need not be a struggle. Many of the things we find challenging are only a difficulty because we MAKE them difficult. We are all hard wired with this need to have a system of beliefs.  There are things we know, things we are absolutely certain of, and while some of these things are in fact solid and unchangeable, more than most
