One of the key tenets of the self-help movement has been the numerous concepts presented to us about the “power of positive thinking”.

Because when we look at the world around us, and all the troubles going on, we might just find that having our own happiness makes us feel guilty. It is one of the most ludicrous things I can possibly imagine. Why? Because just about everything we are doing with our lives is to find things that

However, getting the head (thought) and the heart (feeling) aligned can be challenging. One way to get the head and heart in sync is to be more mindful. Mindfulness, or awareness, can take us to all kinds of incredible places. This is not awareness of the outside world…it is awareness of ourselves. It is a matter of

When we are patient, we allow for the time that may be necessary for change. When we do not focus on why we need this thing or that right here, right now…we can better focus on the thing coming to us.

Why? Because the only person we ever need to be better than is our present self. Further, in truth, we cannot generally be better than anyone else. We are, in the grand make-up of the universe, all equal. Yes, when it comes to certain athletic

Good can be applied to any number of things in your life, both tangible and intangible. Negativity is bad. Bad can be applied to any number of things in your life, both tangible and intangible. When it comes to feeling, I think I can safely say that most of us desire to feel

They belong only to those who are wielding them, and will only continue to exist as long as people accept their own lack of them. Yes, when we go to the voting booth, we are choosing people to “represent” us. Some take that responsibility to

Life is lived in the greys and colors between the black and white of the extremes. Society wants us to use these extremes because they appear easy to relate to. Black and white, fat and thin, short and tall, rich and poor, and so forth. These absolutes feel as if

Logic and emotion are another term for thought and feeling, two of the necessary ingredients for conscious reality creation. In order to manifest anything we desire in this life, we need to begin it with thought, empower it with emotion, and then get it moving with intentional action. For many people, though, logic
