Life is lived in the greys and colors between the black and white of the extremes. Society wants us to use these extremes because they appear easy to relate to. Black and white, fat and thin, short and tall, rich and poor, and so forth. These absolutes feel as if
There is nobody you need to impress but yourself. I know that this seems like a lie. But it is one of the greatest truths there is. There are always going to be people who dislike you, or disapprove of you. When they are acquaintances it’s a very different thing than when they are close friends or family. Some of the ideas we have, decisions and choices we make, actions we take will not align with other people’s values, beliefs,
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
There is more than enough for everyone. We live in an abundant universe. There are more than enough resources, opportunities, companions, friends and lovers for everyone. Material or immaterial, there is more than enough. Money, cars, homes, food, clothing, joy, love, essentials and non-essentials, there is more than enough. The biggest lie we are fed by those enjoying the illusion of being in power is that we do not have enough. They use fear of a lack, scarcity, and an
What is my motivation? This is not just a question an actor asks of their director…it is a question about life. What is it that motivates me to do the things I do? I am a writer and editor. Writing is a craft I have been working on since I was nine years old, and truly focused on for about twenty years now. My first editor taught me a tremendous amount about not just editing, but writing to its core,
Thank you for your support. While I do this in part for myself, it is knowing that you are out there, reading these words, that helps keep me going. I am so deeply grateful for you, that I need to take a moment to simply say, Thank You. Gratitude is the ultimate tool in the world of conscious reality creation. Expressing gratitude for what we already possess, not just saying the words but FEELING grateful, will draw more of the
Nobody is alone. Everyone goes through rough times. We all hit patches of discomfort, anger, sadness, loneliness. But it is important you see that you are not, truly, alone. Life can be a real struggle. For some people, that struggle takes on a lot of elements that most people cannot see. Mental illness is seldom, if ever, a thing you can simply “get over.” It requires attention, it requires thought, and though it will feel like a lone struggle, the
I am worthy and deserving of awesomeness in my life. It’s interesting how often I need to remind myself of this. There have been many instances where I do not feel as though I deserve to have the things I desire in my life. Crossing the Bridges is the most personal of my weekly posts. I am exploring not only my philosophies and approaches to life, but my actual, factual life. In Positivity I pointed out that YOU are amazing!
Should I be concerned about disappointing myself? I struggle with this pretty frequently, and I know I am not alone in this. Who am I? I ask that question a lot. Part of why I keep asking is because I am constantly changing – which is part of the human condition. Another reason why I ask is because I know that you probably have a different impression of me than I have of myself. Ever hear a recording of your
Today will be whatever you make it be. It’s far too easy to approach Monday and the traditional start of the work week with distress, trepidation, displeasure, and unhappiness. There is an entire culture of Monday woe in this society, which has been and continues to be capitalized on, and as such gets reinforced. Does anyone want Monday to suck? I am pretty sure the answer is NO. I don’t really know anyone who wants to be miserable, who wants
