Is What We Think Other People Think About Us What We Secretly Think About Ourselves?

What do we know about how others think and feel – especially about us? Even the most introverted people I know have interactions with other people along the way. Friends, family, coworkers, random strangers, and so on. No matter if you are an introvert, extrovert, ambivert, or uncategorized personality type, you do not exist in a bubble. Because of this truth, to a greater or lesser degree, you desire to make an impression on people. This is wildly variable, situational,

How Much Space Exists Between Negativity and Positivity?

I’m realizing that more space exists between than at the extremes on either end. As an avid reader who enjoys nonfiction as much as fiction – I love to learn new things. A lot of what I read is along the lines of my writing – positivity, conscious reality creation, mindfulness, and the like. As such, I’ve read through lots of different people from all sorts of variable backgrounds and their ideas and practices. Though I’ve long been a practitioner,

Two Roads Diverged – Yet I took Both

You can choose to travel more than one path in life at a time…even when the roads deviate. Every single day you choose what to do with your life. Or not. You decide what paths you will take to achieve the goals you have for yourself, whether immediate, short-term, or long-term. Or not. This is entirely up to you. Most people have dreams, visions of their lives, ideas, hopes, and designs for themselves. Some of these are pretty far-fetched, some

Anyone Can Show You a Path – But Only You Can Walk It

Anyone Can Show You a Path, But Only You Can Walk It It doesn’t matter what the choices are, the decision is yours and yours alone. I made a decision that I would choose my own path in this life.

I am not just going

What Does Your End Result Look Like?

What Does Your End Result Look Like? Finding sufficient balance of clarity and detail to manifest your reality. When you start down a path in life, it is usually done with an end goal in sight. But do you know what that end goal looks like? This can be a slippery slope because while detail counts, too much detail denies the Universe its power to present you with what you desire.

Recognizing the Three Brands of Truth

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   In any argument or discussion, there will always be three truths. Yours, Mine, and the Absolute. If you believe that the truth is the truth, you are right – but you are also wrong. This is because in many instances the truth is entirely dependent on viewpoint. In Return of the Jedi, Luke confronts Obi-Wan’s Force ghost about claiming that Darth Vader murdered his father, rather than

What is Intention?
