How Does Being Only in the Now Work?

Only the now matters in the grand scheme of things. Yes, we can learn from the past and do things to prepare for the future…but this moment is the most real moment we will have. Only the now is the place of true reality.  The actual, factual place where anything exists.  Each individual moment, right here and right now, are where reality lives. My latest reading material has been Eckhart Tolle’s The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment. 

Why am I Struggling?

I’m tired of struggling with this feeling. Deep in the pit of my heart there is this ever-present sense of dread.  It is utterly and completely fear-based, and no matter how often I address it in meditation, I can’t completely shake it. Why am I so fearful of this?  What is it that I am afraid of? This is the question I have been asking myself as I have entered into my daily meditation for the last few days.  What

Can Logic and Emotion Coexist?

Can logic and emotion coexist? There are many times that these two notions seem diametrically opposed.  And yet they do both exist in everyone.  But the balance and conflict between these concepts can be surreal at times. First, a necessary clarification.  Logic, in this particular example, is thought and reason without emotion.  This includes the performance of any number of actions, tangible or otherwise, with no emotional entanglements. To super-simplify this, the root of the issue is heart versus head.

How Does Joy Empower?

Joy empowers us. When we do things that bring joy into our lives, we make ourselves better, stronger, and happier.  Joy raises our frequency, and lets us attract more of the things we truly want for ourselves. Yet we frequently will deny ourselves joy.  Why?  A number of different reasons, of course. First is the external.  In a society so focused on lack and scarcity, we wind up made to feel guilty if something makes us feel joyful.  We begin

How Do I Change How I am Feeling?

To change anything in life, changing what I am feeling is the key. Conscious reality creation requires thought to begin, feeling to fuel the flames, and intentional action to ignite them.  For me, altering feeling is the toughest part of this. Last week I got to see Jen Sincero, author of You Are a Badass, speak.  Like her books, she was an inspiring speaker.  Unlike many of the other authors I have read or listened to, she manages to really

Three Ways to Live Life

There are, in my opinion, three ways in which we can choose to live life.  There are, as such, three realities people place their lives into. I have written about this before in previous posts, but I think it bears exploring further. Yes, I acknowledge off the bat that these are generalities.  But let’s also face another fact: everyone is unique.  We all think, feel and act differently from one another.  The processes that go into this vary, and though

We Deserve It All

I deserve all the good things I desire. Over the last several months I have had a mantra I have recited with much frequency.  I am abundant and prosperous.  I am a good person, worthy and deserving of abundance, prosperity, success, wealth and joy.  Succeed or fail, I am supported and I am loved. Taking an online course offered by Jen Sincero, author if my favorite self-help book, You Are A Badass, she calls this creation a Mantra of Mightiness. 

What Will You Do Today?

Today will be what we make of it. Whether you begin your day feeling refreshed or sleepy; excited or anxious; with apprehension or confidence – today will be what you and I make it out to be. It is easy to forget that each day brings about something new.  Yes, there are routines to every single day of our lives.  We wake, we do stuff, we sleep.  Frequently, we simply allow the day to just happen.  We do not accept

How Do We Think Individually?

No two people think alike. As I ponder this notion, it occurs to me that if we recognized this fact, we could truly change the world for the better.  If we embraced the differences in how we think, we’d better understand the world around us. Let’s look at the Big Picture.  Those who hold artificial positions of power.  And yes, I mean artificial.  Those who lead our nations, our churches and temples, our businesses are in power because they have

Is It Beneficial To Be Optimistic?

Keeping an optimistic outlook is anything but a weakness. In today’s society, we have a lot of ugly, unpleasant things that get our attention.  Further, we are frequently told that it is important that we “be realistic”, and keep low expectations.  Keep your head down, go to work, do the things, go home. Dreamers are often scorned or shunned for believing that there is more to this life.  We frequently look at people with a sunny disposition or optimistic outlook
