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,

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

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

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
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
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 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
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
They say that familiarity breeds contempt. Whether you apply this to a person, a place, or a thing, it tends to ring true. This is where the comfort zone exists. It is familiarity, it is the known, and it provides us with a sense of ease and contentment. If we get too comfortable, change becomes that much harder. Change is, of course, inevitable. Familiarity is not necessarily a bad thing. But too much time with the familiar leaves us feeling
When taking a stand, it is important to be for rather than against. Why does that matter? Because when you are for a thing, you are proactive and working on action. When you are against a thing, you are reactive, and usually working with inaction. Carl Jung said, “What you resist not only persists, but will grow in size.” Consciousness creates reality. Because of this truth, when we stand against a thing, since that is where all of our focus
