Did you do that thing you planned to do? The question is a matter of taking a plan – the thought; figuring out how to do it – the feeling; doing it – the action. A lot of us are really good at coming up with ideas and

Our unique ability to make our world; to build; invent; evolve; to start from a raw idea and conjure an amazing construct is incredible. While we have observed other creatures on this world capable of building and using tools, none has shown the skills and creativity we have to imagine and create wonders. We take so many aspects of

Recognizing the good distractions from the bad is important. I often joke that I suffer ADOS – Attention Deficit Ooooooooooooo, Shiny Disorder. This is borne of my attention being drawn away from one focus to another, sometimes really easily. Distractions come in many forms. Some are, without a doubt, good. But more often than
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
This day is the same, but different from yesterday. Despite their similarities, no two days are exactly alike. No two people are alike. Each and every one of us feels things differently. No matter what the subject, it may feel as if it is the same, but it’s different. It is very easy to fall into routines. We human beings are enormous fans of things being unchanging, and familiar. But as I have been writing a lot lately, change is
Getting uncomfortable on purpose seems kind of backwards. Yet when we leave our comfort zones and work our lives away from familiarity, that’s precisely what we’re doing. I hate this part. There is nothing more disconcerting than effecting a major change in your life. Really, how crazy is it to move away from the comfortable, on purpose, in order to create something that may be better…or, possibly, might be worse? But that is how consciousness creates reality. We make our
They say that familiarity breeds contempt. Whether you apply this to a person, a place, or a thing, it tends to ring true. This is where the comfort zone exists. It is familiarity, it is the known, and it provides us with a sense of ease and contentment. If we get too comfortable, change becomes that much harder. Change is, of course, inevitable. Familiarity is not necessarily a bad thing. But too much time with the familiar leaves us feeling
When taking a stand, it is important to be for rather than against. Why does that matter? Because when you are for a thing, you are proactive and working on action. When you are against a thing, you are reactive, and usually working with inaction. Carl Jung said, “What you resist not only persists, but will grow in size.” Consciousness creates reality. Because of this truth, when we stand against a thing, since that is where all of our focus
Savor the moment. Be grateful, and excited, and enjoy it, here and now. As you are reading this my annual vacation is drawing to an end. I have been enjoying a week of rest and relaxation with friends and chosen family, unwinding and de-stressing. Fun, good company, and an opportunity to hit the reset button. Rather than become bummed out that my vacation is over, though, I am going to savor the moment. From there, I am going to take
Everybody needs a chance to hit the reset button. Whether it is merely for a few minutes, a night, or an extended vacation, hitting the reset button is essential to our wellbeing. We might have things that need to be done on a regular basis, but we still need to rest and relax from time to time. That is what it means to hit the reset button. Despite negative connotations in the idea of rest and relaxation, such as slacking
