Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Giving is important to having balance in life. Some people don’t even consider what they do to be giving. Some people go through this life and make accommodations for others, they take time to help people in a myriad of ways, and they just do things for other people without a second thought. They are people who give time, energy and more so that others may benefit. Giving is a powerful tool. We have an amazing capacity to give on
It is amazing what you can get from a conversation. It is all well and good to send e mails and letters and text messages to communicate. However, they are no substitute for the interaction and give and take of an actual conversation. You can get to know people on a level that really does not exist in any other format. The delay between messages is non-existent, and the interaction is not just words, but tone, facial expressions, body language,
I am not feeling negative. However, neither am I feeling a tremendous amount of positivity just now. What do you do when you are stuck in neutral? Neutral is not the worst place to be. You find yourself in a middle ground, between negative and positive, and you thus stand between the extremes. From neutral you have the opportunity to choose where you want to lean. Do you allow positivity to flow into and through you, or negativity to do
Consciousness creates reality. This is an amazingly positive statement. It boils down to one simple notion – you create your own world. It is astounding and somewhat upsetting just how many outside forces work continuously to disprove this notion. We are told that circumstances are beyond our control, and that there are limitations and so on and so forth. We are frequently disempowered, and we wind up disbelieving this idea entirely. Despite all the forces arrayed against this concept, they
For some, failure is the thing they fear the most. For some, there is nothing more awful, more terrifying, more negative than failure. Failure is not a negative, unless you choose for it to be. Failure can be, in fact, quite the positive. Yes, this runs counter to much of the beliefs our society holds. We always hear about the success stories, we are always striving to be successful in our endeavors. As such, we hold up success as an
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. As such, if you are feeling down, you can bring yourself back up. If you are sad, you can find something to make you happy. If you are feeling uninspired you can find something to light your spark again. When you are feeling negative, you can seek out things that will return your mindset to positive. I know that there are days this seems almost impossible. If you make the
How do you measure success? I believe that most people would give fairly broad answers. A great job, a beautiful home, an incredible family, wealth and so forth. But success does not need to be these grand and glorious things. Success can and should be simpler, and more easily attainable. Society loves to hold up pillars of success. Great men and women who have overcome the odds and risen above this and that to achieve success. Whether a business mogul,
We have the potential to absorb knowledge like a sponge. Human beings have a unique adaptability that no other creature in the animal kingdom shares. We can make our homes in any climate, any geography, anywhere we would choose. Knowledge is power. That statement has been used to frighten people for a long time now. The truth is, knowledge is not simply power – knowledge is life. There is always something new to explore, something new to be learned. The
There are many people deserving of respect. Status does not matter. Social standing is unimportant. It is actions that command respect. Whether it is a trauma doctor saving a dying patient, a soldier defending her country, a teacher educating children or a plumber keeping your basement dry, the service they perform is deserving of respect. We have become somewhat jaded as a nation when it comes to this. Discussions about bad pay and overpayment and benefits or a lack thereof
There is nothing quite like time amongst friends. I got to spend a long weekend with some amazing friends. There was tons of great conversation, inside jokes, laughter, and camaraderie. I got to spend quality time with my chosen family, got to build better friendships with others, and even made several new friends along the way. There is nothing quite like friendship to generate positive energy. I am always pleasantly surprised by how swiftly hanging out with friends makes me
