Two Roads Diverged – Yet I took Both

You can choose to travel more than one path in life at a time…even when the roads deviate. Every single day you choose what to do with your life. Or not. You decide what paths you will take to achieve the goals you have for yourself, whether immediate, short-term, or long-term. Or not. This is entirely up to you. Most people have dreams, visions of their lives, ideas, hopes, and designs for themselves. Some of these are pretty far-fetched, some

Recognizing the Incredible Positivity of Compliments

There is Incredible Positivity in Compliments These are fundamental building blocks of empowerment that tend to be underused. You are amazing. I think you are awesome. You make me smile. I love seeing you. You inspire me. I think you look fantastic. You are clever and creative. I am really happy to have you in my life! Why is it so hard for people to offer up compliments? For real, how did this become so difficult? Criticism? No problem, you

Finding What is Needed on the Path

I am exploring finding what is needed on my path. Just because I know the path does not mean I am completely enlightened. I know where I desire to take my life. When it comes to who I am and who I desire to be, I am completely aware of both locations and the complexities of building the bridge between them. So here I am, more than 7 months into writing full-time, and I am still trying to figure out

The Positivity of Common Ground

Finding common ground is an excellent way to develop pathways of positivity. Do you like feeling negative? Does anyone actually prefer to feel angry, frustrated, sad, distressed, and unhappy? I know don’t…and based on an utterly unscientific analysis of my friends, I really think that, generally, nobody does. The world is overflowing with various entities finding and creating divisions among people. Whether physical or not, pretty much all divisions among people are completely artificial. Sure, there are different genders, skin

Your Path is Gone

What happens when the unexpected occurs and the path you have been traveling in life is suddenly no more? For many, once they find themselves on the path they have chosen for their life, this is apropos of how it makes them feel: “The way is clear / the light is good / I have no fear/ nor no one should.” – Prologue, Into the Woods But then, what happens when, like an unexpected bolt of lightning from the sky,

Life is Unpredictable

Be cause life is unpredictable, what you know or think you know can change drastically. Recently my friends and I have experienced an almost unbelievable amount of life changes. Before we knew it, a great many of the things we knew changed, and changed drastically. This has been emotional, disturbing, and incredibly difficult to wrap one’s head around. It has been a highly surrealistic example of how much life is unpredictable. What you know at this moment as the reality

How Do You Know What Your Best “You” Is?

How do you know what your best you is? This is one of those paradoxes that are super-simple yet infinitely complex. I am a firm believer in the notion of conscious reality creation. I am convinced that I am empowered to take my personal illusion of reality and shape it to best fit me. There are a lot of challenges and obstacles along any given path, but rather than let life live me I want to live life. So I

Positivity in the Moment

Finding positivity in the moment Nobody can be positive all the time, but moments of positivity can be a tremendous boost on your psyche. Why do I write about positivity every week? Because negativity is all too easy to come across, and difficult to resist.   Do I believe you should never feel negative? No. Shit happens. There are days where life sucks. Bad things occur, people get sick and die, friends turn on you – and that’s just the

Doesn’t Everyone Know That/Can’t Everyone Do That?

Just because you know something and can do something easily doesn’t mean that’s how it is for everyone. The written word comes easily to me. I sit down at my keyboard and start tapping away, the words come and my thoughts take me to many interesting places. Some of those places are totally fantasy, invented of characters, situations, and places in my head. These get turned into my works of fiction. Others become articles about mindfulness, conscious reality creation, positivity,
