What if I Suck at This?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   You have permission to suck. A lot of people feel that they need to always succeed, always win, always get it right.  However, that is, in truth, impossible.  Things will not work out as planned, outside influences will change how a process works, or some other unexpected thing will interfere.  Hopefully it all goes as you want…but there are times where, no matter what you are doing,

Five Steps to Change our Emotions

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Each of us has the ability to change our emotions. Yes, I know that this seems like a lie, but that doesn’t make it any less true.  We are each able to control how we are feeling.  You and I have the ability to change our emotions. It’s important that we recognize several facts about how emotions work, and how we are able to make changes to

How Can Letting Go Empower Us?

Letting go is frequently challenging.  But doing so opens you up to tremendous amounts of positivity. This can present a huge number of issues, however.  Sometimes letting go is challenging because deep emotions can be connected to the thing you need to release.  No matter how logical you might style yourself as being, nor no matter how hard you try to not hold onto emotions, this can be complicated. Yes, I have written many times that we are all able

Atonement from What?

Today is the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur.  It is the holiest day of the year in Judaism.  It is on this day that those who practice Judaism ask God to forgive them for all the sins they may have committed during the year, and once again inscribe them into the Book of Life for the New Year. I was born and raised Jewish, and used to attend services every Yom Kippur, and as is tradition I would fast on

What is Reality?

What is reality? Wiser men and women than me have been pondering this question for almost as long as we came down from the trees.  But for our everyday purposes, reality is this moment.  Reality is the world we experience, here and now. Much of what we consider reality is, however, an illusion.  Even brilliant scientist Albert Einstein told us this: “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” But what does that mean?  Simply put our individual

Power is an Illusion?

Power is an illusion. Most of those who are “in power” have either assumed it, been granted it, or otherwise had it conferred upon them in some form or other.  Yet in reality, it is not real.  The idea of power is what generates it, and it is a complete and utter intangible. There is a difference between power and empowerment.  Empowerment may also be intangible, but it is feeling.  Because it involves feeling, it carries with it a greater

What Tone Will You Set For Today?

I get to set the tone for my day. Will it be a good day?  A bad day?  Will it be a productive day?  Is this going to be a day of total time mismanagement?  I alone know and choose what it will be.  It’s entirely up to me. It can be really easy to forget, when all is said and done, that we are in control of our emotions.  Yes, things happen outside of our control that could trigger

Do You Believe?

Do you believe in magic? Do you believe that the world is exactly as it is presented to us every day?  Believe that we are all victims of circumstance, playthings of the Universe, and bound by an uncontrollable fate? Or do you believe there is more? I believe that Consciousness Creates Reality.  We have in each and every one of us the power to build a better world.  All of us are capable of becoming amazing.  It just takes the

Is It Beneficial To Be Optimistic?

Keeping an optimistic outlook is anything but a weakness. In today’s society, we have a lot of ugly, unpleasant things that get our attention.  Further, we are frequently told that it is important that we “be realistic”, and keep low expectations.  Keep your head down, go to work, do the things, go home. Dreamers are often scorned or shunned for believing that there is more to this life.  We frequently look at people with a sunny disposition or optimistic outlook

What Am I Manifesting?

Manifesting frequently happens subconsciously.  This is why being present and aware in the here-and-now is so very important. I know that on more than one occasion, I manifested what I wanted without giving it much thought.  Sometimes this was a thing I desired, other times not-so-much.  What I can tell you is that conscious reality creation is the most ideal form of manifestation. When I was younger, I was pretty high-strung.  I was frequently tense, subconsciously anxious, often unsure of
