Giving Empowers Positivity

There is huge positivity in giving tangible and intangible things – giving empowers via a two-way street. A lot of people think of giving in the material. Giving time, money, donations, and other energetic matter. But giving is just as powerful – if not, in some ways, more powerful – when it’s immaterial. You can give immaterial things. This includes smiles, compliments, helpful (solicited) suggestions and advice, and other things that cost you nothing. But the most powerful thing you

How Do You Stop Tripping Over Self-Made Obstacles?

Tripping over your own two feet along a given path is usually an inside job – and under your control. I love to overthink. When it comes to just about anything you can imagine I’m super good at overthinking things. Thoughts, ideas, concepts, notions – I churn through them lots and lots. I tend to run through a multitude of scenarios and “what ifs” at the speed of the Millennium Falcon making the Kessel Run. Often, this all happens right

Getting in Touch with Myself

Practicing mindfulness and digging deep to get in touch with me. I have been writing about conscious reality creation for years, now. Probably the biggest key to this is the use of mindfulness. Mindfulness is the awareness, here and now, of your conscious inner being. By being aware of your thoughts, feelings, actions, and intentions you open yourself to your inner being – your mindset/headspace/psyche – and learn just where you are at in the now. When you know where

Balance for Yourself and Those You Love

Nobody is truly alone in this life. There needs to be balance for yourself and for those you love. The paths I have chosen to take for my life are mine alone. They have similarities to the paths others take – but they are still unique to me. However – I am not a single solitary figure. I have a wife, friends, and family I love deeply, and various people and responsibilities I have taken on. So, while living my

The Positivity of Understanding

Now more than ever, there is a tremendous positivity in understanding. Unfortunately, 2020 has shown that people are frighteningly good at being unreasonable. For example – those who consider mandatory mask orders and social distancing to be violations of civil liberties. What they are telling me is that efforts to keep more people safe in the middle of an incurable pandemic are unimportant? Do they have some form of immunity so that they can walk around without a mask or

This is Your Permission Slip

Because the Universe ultimately gives you permission to choose any path. There is an unfortunate undercurrent in our society that keeps people down. And it’s made up of some of the most convoluted mixed messages you can imagine. We are constantly shown how people should “stand up for themselves” and “stand on their own two feet” and “pull themselves up by their bootstraps” and the like. Be tough, and strong, and firm. Go to it, go at it, go for

To Not Get Together with Family This Year is Good

To not get together with family this year increases the odds of doing so next year. This is an ugly truth. But, as a result of people choosing to get together at Thanksgiving, the numbers of COVID-19 cases and deaths have been ramping up. This week ends with Christmas, which for many people represents the biggest of family gatherings. However, the pandemic is NOT over. Yes, there is a vaccine – but it’s important to recognize a vaccine is NOT

Why is Forgiving Yourself so Important?

Because forgiving yourself changes your energy and opens you to conscious reality creation. The number of times I have fucked things up in my life is pretty impressive. I mean, when it comes to doing it wrong, choosing poorly, and generally screwing up in some way or other – I am a pro. How many of you can make the same statement? Do you also believe yourself to be a professional fuck-up? Or maybe you haven’t reached the level of

The Past, Present, and Future are all One

Past, present, and future exist at the same time – and the positivity inherent in that is amazing. It’s taken me a long time to come to grips with this truth. But time, as we perceive it, is an utter and total illusion. The late, great, Albert Einstein had some definitive thoughts on this matter. “The only reason for time is so that everything doesn’t happen at once.” Yes, there is a progression of the passage of time in the

The Challenge of Prioritizing

Multiple paths can’t be traveled all at once. Prioritizing is the key to choosing their order. I love to have a lot to do. Frankly, when I have nothing to do, I get restless. Hence, there is more than one path I am on at this time. Each path takes me to an overall end goal of feeling more connected between myself and the world. But I am just one man. I can’t be in two places at once (okay,
