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

The Past, Present, and Future are all One

Past, present, and future exist at the same time – and the positivity inherent in that is amazing. It’s taken me a long time to come to grips with this truth. But time, as we perceive it, is an utter and total illusion. The late, great, Albert Einstein had some definitive thoughts on this matter. “The only reason for time is so that everything doesn’t happen at once.” Yes, there is a progression of the passage of time in the

What Do You Really Want?

Not to be redundant, but what you want and what you REALLY want may differ. That’s an important distinction in conscious reality creation. I read a lot of blogs and articles by a lot of different self-help and inspirational writers. I have read or listened to a vast number of books on the topics of self-help, inspiration, self-improvement, conscious reality creation and manifestation, mindfulness, and finding/creating wealth. Along the way, I have developed my own philosophy on this topic and

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. Though my choice has been imperfect, and I have stumbled and struggled along the way, I am still glad I made that decision. Why? Because I believe that I have taken control of my life. I am not just going

Did You Take Action?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   When you had the opportunity, did you take action? What do I mean by that?  It’s actually very simple.  Did you do that thing you planned to do?  The question is a matter of taking a plan – the thought; figuring out how to do it – the feeling; doing it – the action. A lot of us are really good at coming up with ideas and

How Do Want and Desire Differ?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   There is a surprisingly substantial difference between want and desire. Want is based in lack.  One of its definitions, from dictionary.com is to be without, or deficient in.  Want comes from a place of lack and scarcity.  It is a statement that implies that there is not enough, that you have gone without because that which you want there is not enough of. Further, that implies that

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

Who Controls My Emotions?

Controlling emotions is particularly challenging. In order to manifest anything, you need to think, feel and act upon it.  Thought is only the beginning.  Without emotion behind it, you will remain where you are now. All this week I have been focused on the same notion.  Positivity examined the power of words, and why want, a statement of lack, should be replaced by desire, a statement of abundance.  In Pathwalking I explored how to go about changing feelings.  Altering my

How Do Desire and Want Differ?

Desire is an expression of abundance. Want is an expression of lack. When it comes to self-talk, it is imperative to be aware of the difference in these. Consciousness creates reality.  If we are focused on “wanting” something, we don’t realize that we are taking a lack approach.  Because words matter, it’s important to be aware of the power of what we say, and even how we say things. This also applies to the words we think and don’t necessarily
