Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Why would you choose a path if it wouldn’t bring you joy? Why do you do what you do? That’s a loaded question with different answers, dependent on the “what.” For certain obligations and expectations, the answer is responsibility, to earn money, contribute to society, etc. But what about goals? Big or small, why do you do what you do to reach an intended goal? The answer, I am guessing, is satisfaction. You seek that sense of achievement, of accomplishment,
The impermanence of everything is the key to change for the best. This has been a difficult year. Lots of people have decided that history is likely to remember 2020 as a dumpster fire. And let’s face it – that’s not wrong. I don’t need to get into the specifics – again – because I’m sure that the most withdrawn hermit out there is aware. Uncertainty and fear are dominating everything. Fortunately, this is not how it will be forever.
But that’s how the path goes sometimes. Expect the unexpected. The biggest goal I have for my life is to do something that makes the world a better place. It is my greatest desire to have a positive impact on the world. I hope to help people lead better lives, do more amazing things, and generally experience all the potential and possibilities. There are two paths of a similar ilk that I am taking along that way. The first is
You have more power over time than you realize. Despite the labels we put on time – it is almost entirely made up of individual perceptions. That’s why an hour doing something dull and unpleasant can seem to stretch on interminably while an hour doing something you enjoy can seem to pass in an instant. That’s the reality of time. It’s not the seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, and similar specifics we give to it. Time in its most pure
It’s important to have a goal – but it needs to retain flexibility. You never know what you may get. When you set a goal for yourself you still need to leave the Universe some wiggle room. What does that mean? It means that having a goal is important. But at the same time, there needs to be room for it to expand beyond your intent. The Universe is a funny thing. It is made up of abundance and endless
This is much easier than you think it is – but – taking control requires some hard work on your self. What can you control? Honestly, it’s a VERY short list. To sum up – you. You have the power to control your appearance – what you wear, how you cut your hair, piercings, tattoos, and so on. Beneath the surface, you can control your thoughts, feelings, actions, and intentions. Underneath that, you have control over your mindset/headspace/psyche. How you
As you progress on a chosen path, today will be unique. You can decide what it looks like for you. Today is unique. It is the only day of its kind. When today is done it will be gone. Tomorrow is another day. Some people see this as an endless, pointless slog going on and on. Others see most days as bothersome necessities while looking forward to the weekend or some specific event. There will be good days and bad
How you see life, the Universe, and everything is a matter of perspective. All the ways in which you experience life are a matter of perspective. Take Monday, for example. I know a LOT of people who get to Monday and automatically get negative. This is how they approach work, school, the daily grind, and so on. Monday morning is unwelcome. That’s one perspective. What if, instead, Monday were to represent new opportunities? How do you approach work when you
Some limitations are real – but many aren’t. Nearly all can be overcome – but not without effort. Most of the limitations we believe are self-imposed. When all is said and done, if you truly desire to have something you CAN find or create it. BUT – and this is important – you need to TRULY desire it. What does that mean? Everyone has skillsets. Some people are adept at all things physical. Other people are adept at all things
Your belief in whether you can or can’t do a thing will dictate the outcome. You are capable of just about anything you can think of. I know that seems improbable. But it’s still the truth. Henry Ford famously said, “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t, you’re right.” The truth of that statement tends to get lost on people. If you think you can’t do something – you’re right. If you think you can do something
