Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
You can always start again. The rest of the animal kingdom has it much simpler than we do. They look for food, they look for shelter, they seek a mate or mates to pass on their genetic material. For them, life is a matter of course. Whether a domesticated or a wild animal, their needs and wants are relatively simple, and easy to fill as such. Humans are a lot more complex. We have a much wider variety of needs
Sometimes The Universe just kicks you in the teeth. There are times when no matter how hard you work, no matter how much you struggle, no matter all the good you do and all the positivity you generate, you do not win. We have all been disappointed when our expectations were crushed. I don’t know anybody who has not experienced this. That time you got sick when you were supposed to take a great trip or that date that did
Everybody deserves respect. I believe that many of the conflicts across the globe are the result of a lack of respect. The rich do not respect the poor and vice versa. The religious do not respect the atheists and vice versa. The conservatives do not respect the liberals and vice versa. I could go on and on, but no doubt you can see how easy it is for us to disrespect our differences. We all deserve to be respected, despite
Are you true to yourself? Do you treat yourself in the same manner you wish to be treated by others? Do you respect yourself? Do you hold yourself in high esteem? Do you like yourself? Do you love yourself? It never ceases to amaze me how little we ask these questions of ourselves. We are so keen to learn how those around us are doing, how our friends and family are feeling, how our coworkers are handling stress – we
You are not alone. No matter how lonely, no matter how isolated, no matter how detached you may feel, you are not alone. It does not matter how unique you are, it is not important how much differently you think from those around you – you are not alone. No one else is here, you might be thinking. There is no one else inside my head. No one is beside me. I am alone in this life. This is simply
Jealousy is a useless emotion. Our emotions serve numerous purposes. They let us feel beyond intellect, beyond the most basic knowledge into a far broader world. Our wide gamut of emotions is part of what makes each of us so unique. Most emotions serve a purpose. They let us know if we are in a positive or negative mindset. They let us express ourselves beyond words, facial expressions, and any other physical gestures. Emotions cover a vast array of topics,
We have an amazing power in creativity. Our unique ability to make our world, to build, to invent, to evolve, to start from a raw idea and conjure an amazing construct is incredible. While we have observed other creatures on this world capable of building and using tools, none has show the skills we have to imagine and create wonders. We take so many aspects of our world for granted. From the smallest things like running water and electricity for
No matter how many answers you come up with, there are always more questions. This, however, is a very good thing. Life is constantly changing. There are always new things to discover, to learn, to experience. Even when day after day is largely similar, there are always going to be moments where there is new and different and unique. Thus there are always questions. Even when you find answers to your questions, you still get more questions. I am going
Some days you feel sorely tested. I just had such a day. I went to work, and I was confronted with multiple difficult situations that really tested my patience, my crisis management skills, my people skills, and my diplomacy. It was the kind of moment that left me utterly drained, sapped most of my energy and made me question why I even continue to do this job. I got home from work exhausted. It took several hours for me to
