Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Opinions are like assholes…everybody has them, and many smell like crap. But you can also wash them and wipe them clean. It is my opinion that consciousness creates reality. I believe that the practice of mindfulness and becoming aware of what you are thinking and what and how you are feeling is how you become conscious for reality creation. It’s my opinion that positivity raises your inherent energy levels and opens you up to finding and creating new and better
You should be you for you and not for them. It is perfectly acceptable to put yourself and your paths in life first. When you are striving to find, create, and live a life of your own choosing, be sure that you are doing it for YOU, and not for someone else’s belief in who you are or who you should be. It is not a bad thing, nor selfish, to put yourself first in your own life. Yet you
Saying No is a matter of self-care and empowerment for your life. No is not necessarily negative. This can be an odd concept to wrap your head around, but recognizing the incredible positivity in saying No can open you up to a lot of potential and possibilities. How can No possibly not be negative? This is a misunderstanding of a word that in and of itself has a simple meaning, but that gets turned into a much broader, bigger, powerful
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
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
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
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
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,
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? 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
