Finding the Positivity In the Holidays

For all the good, many get overwhelmed by the not-so-good. For some, this is the best time of year. Starting with Halloween, then moving on to Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, and then New Year’s Eve/Day, this is their favorite time of the year. However, that’s not so for everyone. Many people find this time of the year frustrating, a reminder of pain – whether physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, or all the above – and many other negatives. Also, the utter bombardment

Do You Face Your Fears or Live Life Afraid?

This is always a choice. And the choice is always yours. About the only certainty in life is uncertainty. No matter what and how you plan, no matter what you prepare – the uncertain might well get in your way. That’s because the one and only constant in the universe is change. And most change is utterly outside of your control. This is where – I believe – almost every fear you and I face is based. After years of

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

Giving Empowers Positivity

There is huge positivity in giving tangible and intangible things – giving empowers via a two-way street. A lot of people think of giving in the material. Giving time, money, donations, and other energetic matter. But giving is just as powerful – if not, in some ways, more powerful – when it’s immaterial. You can give immaterial things. This includes smiles, compliments, helpful (solicited) suggestions and advice, and other things that cost you nothing. But the most powerful thing you

Are Extremes Real or Artificial?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   The world is seldom the extremes we are presented. There are many reasons why this is so, but the extremes of our world, the polar opposites, are seldom where anyone or anything actually exists. I believe that a lot of the emphasis on the extremes is because they seem easy.  Either/or situations can be made to feel simpler than having more choices on the table.  What’s more,

You Know This

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Positivity is better than negativity.  You know this already. Why?  Because positivity is good.  Good can be applied to any number of things in your life, both tangible and intangible. Negativity is bad.  Bad can be applied to any number of things in your life, both tangible and intangible. When it comes to feeling, I think I can safely say that most of us desire to feel

Do You Feel Afraid?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   What makes you feel afraid? Everybody has things they fear.  Some are tangible, material things like spiders, snakes, and heights.  But the vast majority of what makes us feel afraid are the intangible, immaterial things. These include intimacy, success, failure, abandonment, wealth, and a vast number of feelings and emotions.  Intangibles, maybe, but still impactful on our lives. The fear reflex in each of us is hardwired. 

What Is Impossible?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Nothing is impossible.  Unless, of course, you believe that it is. Look at the world we live in today.  The technologies available to us, the things we have built and continue to build.  Things considered impossible just a hundred years ago are commonplace today. This does not just apply to the material.  Much of the immaterial we believe to be impossible, is not.  It is just a

Do You Deserve What You Desire?

Do you do things that you desire to do? It is all too easy to do things for other people, and to do things that are “expected” of us, and ignore what we desire for ourselves. Some of these desires are little things, like sitting down to read a book; eating ice cream; watching a video; taking a walk; playing a game; and so on. Then there are the desires to do big things, like take a vacation; start a

Can Gratitude Change the World?

It is difficult to feel gratitude in the face of overwhelming unfairness, cruelty and disdain. Expressing gratitude, however, is a fundamental building block for creating change. I find the news extremely disheartening.  The United States is being led by a petulant, narcissistic man-child and his unscrupulous associates.  Long-standing institutions that made the nation a world-leader are being dismantled or massively corrupted.  Allies are being alienated.  Congress cannot be bothered to do their job and fix this in the name of
