Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
I feel as if I live in multiple worlds sometimes. See if this is familiar for you in any way. First, there is Professional Me. I hold a job, I pay my bills, I do the necessary things one does to live in this society. I also happen to be involved in civics, as I serve as President of a local Chamber of Commerce. Second, there is Author Me. I keep this blog, I write and edit novels. I constantly
How do you want to feel? This is an important question I do not think we ask of ourselves enough. Not only do we not ask of ourselves, How do I feel? But neither do we ask, How do I want to feel? It is easy to forget that when all is said and done, I and I alone am responsible for how I feel. Period. Whether or not I feel good or bad, happy or sad, anxious or excited,
Words matter. What that means is that what you write or say can have an impact, positive or negative. Do you build or destroy with your words? Inspire or terrorize? Spew love or hate? Give or take? People often forget just how important the words we use are. Sometimes we fear the power of certain words and phrases, but neglect that there are always options. There are more than 200,000 words in the English dictionary, when you include the obsolete
I am something of a modern Renaissance Man. First and foremost, I am a writer. Almost five years ago I began Pathwalking. This is my personal philosophy on how to choose my own destiny, so that I might live the life I most desire to have. I started Positivity more than two-and-a-half years ago. One Monday morning all I saw was lamentation for the new week, and a deluge of negative posts across social media. So I decided that I
Everything is energy. At its core, in its simplest, most elegant form every single thing you can see, touch, taste, and smell is energy. Every one of us, no matter our skin color, ethnicity, gender or other chosen identifier is energy. The earth, the sun, the other planets in the solar system and everything, absolutely everything, is comprised of energy. Both science and spirituality agree on this point, though they might use different phraseology to explain it. Since every single
I love you. Doesn’t matter who you are, it does not matter how I know you. I love you. I love you for your humanity, for your intelligence, for your strength, for your weaknesses, for your heart and soul. I love you for being. Why are we so very frightened to say these words? When did the notion of love become so complicated? Why is love broken down into so many subdivisions and categories and so full of stipulations and
Life is only as complicated as we choose to make it. Last week I began to explore the many ways we move far away from the relatively simple things we actually want for our lives. For most people, these include finding love, peace, joy and feeling good. Previously I postulated that as children we instinctively understand this, but as we grow and develop we start to add layers and steps and these things get complicated. What are some ways in
Finding positivity is not hard, it just requires action. This is not as daunting as it may first appear. We are bombarded daily with negativity. Some is intentional, aimed at causing us fear and distress in an effort to control us. More often, though, it’s unintentional, like a friend trying to share with us a situation that is in need of attention, but is infuriating. We cannot avoid, ignore, or neglect these things. We can, however, choose not to let
Life is only as complicated as we choose to make it. The human race has this incredible obsession with complicating our lives. We create these impossible goals and lofty ambitions, and reject the relatively simple things we all want. Everybody wants to love and be loved. Everybody wants to find joy and peace. Everybody wants to feel good. Yes, I recognize these are pretty massive generalizations, but that doesn’t make them any less true. I know some people appear to
I am determined to find Positivity. Negativity is everywhere. Like, wow, this is so overwhelming how inundated by negative messages we are right now. Anger, hatred, fear, both directed and passive are every way we turn. It feels almost inescapable. The national and international news is so completely full to overflowing in negativity, coupled with unpleasant feelings towards the new work week and weather and…it can feel like it is all too much. I am determined to find Positivity. I
