This is a simple question, certainly, but the answer is likely complicated. As children, we all have dreams and aspirations.

A lot of people may find this hard to believe, but that makes it no less true. When you speak your truth, you open yourself up because you are being your most true, genuine self.

Do I Know Who I Am?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   I am not going to hold back any longer. I am showing who I am. No more hiding aspects of who I am.

What you may consider amazing and incredible, I might consider ridiculous and unremarkable. Every single person on the planet has their own viewpoints on absolutely everything. To be sure, we can come together in communities that share ideals and other things. But even there, it’s a matter of perspective. How many wars have been fought over which viewpoint of God

Recognizing the Three Brands of Truth

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   In any argument or discussion, there will always be three truths. Yours, Mine, and the Absolute. If you believe that the truth is the truth, you are right – but you are also wrong. This is because in many instances the truth is entirely dependent on viewpoint.

For more info, see my disclosures.   Thinking is not overrated What a lot of people tend to neglect is that thought is the beginning of anything and everything.  Thinking drives the Universe, gives us new and exciting creations, and changes the world in wondrous ways. At least, it should.  All-too-often, though, thinking gets poo-pooed.  There is currently such a backlash against intellectualism that logic and reason are taking a constant backseat to zealotry

What Path Are You On?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Are you living life with direction? Everything in life is choices.  We are constantly looking at decisions we can make, and options when it comes to our choices.  Each of us can decide to be aware, or choose instead to make no choices at all.
