Is Thinking Overrated?

This post contains affiliate banner links. 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. For a long time, I wandered rather aimlessly through my life.  I went where the wind blew, changed jobs and relationships frequently,

Does Everyday Mindfulness Lead to Positivity?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Positivity can be created and found with everyday mindfulness. Mindfulness is the practice of being aware of our selves.  It is being aware of our own thoughts, feelings, and actions.  When we are mindful and aware of these, we are capable of creating virtually anything.

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   How do you navigate the waters between the practical and the hooky-spooky? This is the question I have begun to really focus on of late.  For a long time, I delved deeper and deeper into hooky-spooky resources and ideas.  The Law of Attraction, energy healing, connections to earth energy, and seeking and connecting to source energy all get lumped into this. There is a lot of bits

How does an Abundant Universe Impact Positivity?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   We live in an abundant Universe. What that means is that there is more than enough of everything, material or immaterial, that you desire for your life.

Most Decisions Are Not Permanent

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Few decisions that we make are truly permanent. I know that, for me at least, on more than one occasion I either made no choice, procrastinated about, or did not fully commit to a decision.  Why?  Because what if I made the wrong one? This is why recognizing that few decisions we make are truly permanent is so important to really living our lives. No matter how

Do You Have a Choice?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   You always have a choice.  Even when you decide not to choose, that’s still a choice. No matter what situation or experience you are having, good or bad, you have a choice.  Why?  Because you can decide how to think, feel, and act upon whatever happens to you. Every single day we face choices.  Get out of bed, or hit snooze?  Watch TV or read?  Workout or

Are Extremes Real or Artificial?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   The world is seldom the extremes we are presented. There are many reasons why this is so, but the extremes of our world, the polar opposites, are seldom where anyone or anything actually exists. I believe that a lot of the emphasis on the extremes is because they seem easy.  Either/or situations can be made to feel simpler than having more choices on the table.  What’s more,

Positivity is Not Selfish, Is It?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Positivity is not selfish. I recognize that in the face of the world today, and all the insanity nationally and internationally, seeking out positivity for yourself may seem like a selfish notion.  With so many people facing adversity, cruelty, devastation, tangible and intangible bad things, doesn’t it make you selfish if you seek positivity and good things? No, because there are limited things we can all do
