How Are Actions More More Powerful than Resolutions?

Actions don’t just speak louder than words – they move and change everything. New Year’s Eve is almost upon us. Besides various forms of celebration people participate in around the world – lots of people make New Year’s Resolutions. They resolve to go to the gym more, quit smoking, eat fewer carbs, spend less time surfing social media, and other similar notions. But there is a major problem with resolution. It’s rather impotent. How do I mean? Let’s begin by

Recognize and Embrace How Change Makes Rather than Takes Everything?

What change makes is literally everything. There is only one constant in the entire Universe. Change. Change will always happen. Sometimes it is so glacially slow and microscopically small that it seems not to be happening. Other times it’s cataclysmic, sudden, and ginormous. Either way – change is. It’s constant, unstoppable, and ineffable. Without change – nothing we know would be. In the words of Marcus Aurelius, “Is any man afraid of change? Why what can take place without change?

The Only Mind You Can Positively Change is Your Mind

Why not focus on positively changing your mind for the better? Spending any time at all browsing social media can be infuriating. Any encounter with news sources – legitimate or not – can be disheartening and depressing. Between the ongoing fight with the COVID-19 pandemic, seriously disruptive and destructive politics, entitled people being awful, and various other world events – it’s easy to lose sight of our own lives. No matter what side you fall on in any given discussion

What I Believe is True

Even though what I believe is true – I have the power to change it. I know more than one person struggling right now. Frankly, in multiple ways, I am struggling, too. The struggle is based on who I am now – versus – who I was and have been – versus – who I desire to be. When you have been applying certain beliefs, habits, and values for as long as you can remember – they seem unchangeable. They

The Normal Has Not Always Been Normal

The normal of today is less than 75 years old. Why does this matter? Because too many people expect and react poorly to what is normal and not normal. Way, way too much unnecessary conflict is a product of this. The current average American lifespan is a shade more than 78 years. In everybody’s life, they will have unique experiences. What you will experience along the way is different from what I’ll experience. When it comes to the world stage,

How Do You Adapt to Change?

Change is the only constant in the Universe. How do you adapt when it happens? The only absolutely certain constant in the Universe is change. Change will happen – sometimes slowly, sometimes instantaneously. Like it or not, change happens. Much you can do nothing about. The planet is turning, winds come and go, volcanoes erupt, the earth quakes, and yadda-yadda. You can vote, attend protests, give money to worthy causes – and that’s the limit of what you can do

Speak Up and Be Heard!

The silent majority CANNOT remain silent. The time to speak up and be heard is NOW. I recently read an article that lamented the massive social collapse of the United States. To say it was depressing and disheartening barely covers it. It did make one very important point to me. The silent majority must no longer be silent. We can’t keep reacting to what is going on in this country. It is time to be proactive. Before it’s truly too

Your Perspective Can Change Unexpectedly

That can alter how you perceive life, the Universe, and everything. I have never in my life lived in the same place for more than 10 years. The same general area? Sure, more-or-less. But the same home? Never. Thinking back, in fact, I am pretty sure 9 years is the longest I ever lived in a single house. My wife lived in the same house for some 30 years or so. She has vivid, fond memories of her family home.

What is Attachment Versus Connection?

Understanding the pitfalls of attachment is a challenge – but will help you better relate to change. The first step is to understand what attachment is. According to Dictionary.com, attachment is: noun an act of attaching or the state of being attached. a feeling that binds one to a person, thing, cause, ideal, or the like; devotion; regard: a fond attachment to his cousin; a profound attachment to the cause of peace.

Be Your Own Knight in Shining Armor and Save Yourself

You have the power to save yourself from anything and everything. We live in interesting times. The world is currently in the midst of upheaval like nothing any of us have ever seen in our lifetime. It’s not a war, nor a great economic crash – it’s a virus. A microscopic invader that is hard to repel, impossible to see, and difficult to resist. Steps are being taken to keep people as safe as possible. They are, unfortunately, drastic –
