Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Yes, you absolutely should take time off – and here’s why. I am terrible at taking time off. There is a certain sense of guilt that comes with what are my obligations. Even those that are self-imposed. When I don’t meet those expectations, I feel bad. That can turn negative on a dime, and before you know it the brain weasels start chittering. You’re bad, you are worthless, what do you think you are doing? etc. For this reason, taking
To get where you desire to be, what are you doing? I ask myself this question more than I feel like I should. Perhaps I’m alone in this. But then, maybe not. What are you doing to go where you desire to be? What does that even mean? For me, it’s about being who, where, how, why, and when I desire to be in this life. This is both a matter of the now, as well as where I will
Both in the now and the long run, being genuine and true to yourself matters tremendously. How do you react when you encounter someone who is a fake? I’m not writing about someone you later learn is a fake. I mean, right from the outset. They put on airs, they seem confident not quite to the point of arrogance – but nearly so – and they come across as not quite right, slightly off, overwrought, and maybe trying too hard.
How do you know if you should still stay the course or leave the path? I’m feeling frustrated. That frustration is directly impacting what I’m doing. But more than that, it’s also taking a toll on my self-image, self-worth, and other thoughts and emotions. Of course, it all comes down to money. Like many people, I have a love/hate relationship with money. I love having it and hate being a slave to it. The constant discomfort based on how much
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
Not every good idea is good for everyone. I have lots of ideas. You likely have lots of ideas. Some are ginormous, veritably insurmountable, and lofty as all get-out. Others are more approachable, have paths you can take that people have taken before, and/or roadmaps can be found and employed Most ideas are just ideas. Neither good nor bad. They simply are. And you have them all the time. I’ve been known to spew ideas just because they are fun
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
My path is only mine – but it’s not just about myself. For over a decade I have been writing about my ongoing process of finding, creating, and choosing my own path in this life. This has had many ups and downs and challenges along the way. But since truly starting to walk one path of my choosing or another, I have been more content, more satisfied, and frankly happier with the life I have been living. While some might
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
When you write down your ideas, they become harder to lose or misplace. This is not the article I was originally writing. Nope, that article was on a completely different topic. I was about halfway done writing it. Then, my computer crashed. The usual recovery file that tends to pop up when I restart MS Word didn’t. After spending probably more time than I should have searching for this – it all proved to be for naught. The worst part?
