Please Explain to Me How Being “Woke” Is a Bad Thing?

If the choice is “woke” and aware vs “asleep” and clueless, I don’t get it. I have been seeing a lot about this whole notion of “woke” culture from the far right being portrayed as a bad thing. What is “woke” culture, anyhow? A quick search online brings me to this conclusion – “woke” culture is where people, businesses, and other entities not impacted by certain injustices – for example, white people who will never endure what black people do

Are You Really, Truly Ready to Give Up Your Hope?

Don’t give up your hope. That’s what they want. Don’t give up your hope. It is neither a weakness nor does it disempower you. The doom and gloom across the world presently are deeply distressing. There is the utterly ludicrous and crushing invasion of Ukraine by Putin and his army, the seemingly never-ending battle with the COVID pandemic, and the terrifyingly regressive leaked US Supreme Court decision, just to name a few things. Each on its own is overwhelming doom

Complain and Spin Out or Complain, Accept, and Move On?

It’s normal to complain, but what comes next is a choice. I know some people who can and will complain about just about anything and everything you can imagine. This, that, or the other thing – they’ll complain about it. Sometimes they will drone on and on – even years and years after whatever it is they are complaining about. Has anyone ever gotten anywhere by complaining? Not to my knowledge. Sure, when you have a legit complaint and bring

Does the World Need more Gratitude for Sustainability?

Absolutely. The world can always use more gratitude. These are, I believe, the three most powerful phrases anyone can employ: I am I love you Thank you All three are empowering. Each of them is an ultimate generator of conscious reality creation. And all three can create positivity and good feelings both for you as the speaker and those who you share them with. Whatever follows I am generates incredible manifestation power. Said with conviction, I am can make or

Do You Think you’re the Only One Who Ever Gets Stuck?

It’s easy to feel stuck – but you are not the only one. As I started to consider what to write today, I found myself stuck. The usual time I make to do this writing came and went. And still, I felt stuck. Nothing sat right in my head, and I just couldn’t put the words in order. Then I read through my Medium daily digest. And as if the Powers-that-be knew what I needed, multiple articles on a similar

Do You Wait for the Door to Open or Act to Open The Door?

When you act to open the door, you are being mindful. Life is a constant stream of activity. Like a flowing stream or river, life is always on the move. So long as we draw breath, we’re in motion. And that can be extremely overwhelming sometimes. I know how this feels. Choices and decisions can be scary and exciting at the same time. Some are more uncertain than others, too. But the outcome is seldom completely sure. Things not of

What Can I Do to Get Better at Letting Go of Past BS?

We all hold onto things that don’t serve us. Letting go challenges us each differently. Over the past month or so, I’ve been focusing more and more on identifying my self-sabotaging behaviors. Thus, I’ve learned that my self-sabotage is born of conclusions I’ve made about myself, other people, and life. I recognize what these conclusions have been (for me, it’s that I’m not worthy, people are capricious and inconsistent, and that life is an unfair uphill battle). Now recognized, I

What Are You Doing with Your One Life Experience?

We all get one life experience each in these bodies. What are you doing with yours? Like it or not – we have a finite time in this existence. The finite meat popsicles we call our bodies are the vessels that house our infinite souls. The substance may be eternal – but the vessels are not. Are we here just for basic subsistence? Or is there more to this life experience than that? I believe that we’re here for more

Have I Actually Got This – Or Am I Just Fooling Myself?

Believing that you’ve got this is the first step to handling everything we experience. Sometimes the day begins with you waking up excited, anticipating good things to come, and feeling rested. Other times, you begin the day with dread, not looking at all forward to what you have on your plate. Most often, at least in my experience, you probably begin your day groggy, maybe a little achy, uncertain, and unsure of just what lies ahead for you. The first

Why Can Rethinking Be Applied to Anything and Everything?

Rethinking is vital to self-awareness, change, and life overall. It’s also applicable to positivity. On Monday, February 4 of 2014, I saw something that distressed me. Across social media – Facebook and Twitter specifically – negativity. Lots, and lots of negativity. People were seemingly just miserable. Lamenting the start of the workweek, stressing out about deadlines and expectations, and utterly unhappy and negative overall. That got me thinking. What, if anything, can I do to help? Is there some way
