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. 

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

What is Knowing?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   The key to knowing is to recognize that for the most part, we know far less than we think. Knowing how little we know is extremely important.  Why?  Because there will always be something new to learn.  There are new experiences to be had.  New people to be met. How many languages do you speak?  Do you know how to fence with a sword in each hand? 

What if I Suck at This?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   You have permission to suck. A lot of people feel that they need to always succeed, always win, always get it right.  However, that is, in truth, impossible.  Things will not work out as planned, outside influences will change how a process works, or some other unexpected thing will interfere.  Hopefully it all goes as you want…but there are times where, no matter what you are doing,

Five Steps to Change our Emotions

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Each of us has the ability to change our emotions. Yes, I know that this seems like a lie, but that doesn’t make it any less true.  We are each able to control how we are feeling.  You and I have the ability to change our emotions. It’s important that we recognize several facts about how emotions work, and how we are able to make changes to

Consciousness Creates Reality, for Real?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Consciousness creates reality because all of our perceptions of reality are unique. Whether you buy into this notion or not, that doesn’t make it any less true.  Yes, I recognize that this may come across as hooky-spooky craziness, but let me present you a different perspective. Do you like our present reality?  I know that it’s entirely possible that you do, and if that is so, rock

Can Distractions be Both Good and Bad?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Distractions can be pretty unavoidable.  They can also be both detrimental and helpful.  Recognizing the good distractions from the bad is important. I often joke that I suffer ADOS – Attention Deficit Ooooooooooooo, Shiny Disorder.  This is borne of my attention being drawn away from one focus to another, sometimes really easily. Distractions come in many forms.  Some are, without a doubt, good.  But more often than

Atonement from What?

Today is the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur.  It is the holiest day of the year in Judaism.  It is on this day that those who practice Judaism ask God to forgive them for all the sins they may have committed during the year, and once again inscribe them into the Book of Life for the New Year. I was born and raised Jewish, and used to attend services every Yom Kippur, and as is tradition I would fast on

Why Do We Compare Ourselves to Others?

There is no need to compare ourselves to anyone else. Each of us is unique.  We have our own gifts, our own talents, our particular, special way.  Yes, we are made up of the same basic molecular structure, and our souls are all interconnected…but we are still separate, unique consciousnesses. Consciousness creates reality in part because what separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom is our singular consciousness.  Our lot is not just to survive, propagate and thrive,

What Do You Desire for Today?

What will I find that I desire for today? Though today may have many similarities to yesterday, it will still be different. That’s because every single day of our lives is unique.  I know that that doesn’t always feel true, but it absolutely is. The ambient temperature, humidity and pressure are different.  We likely are wearing different clothing.  What we eat will vary.  Yes, these are all really small, seemingly insignificant things, but the devil is in the details.  All
