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

Do You Grasp Your Life to be Lacking or Abundant?

Lacking or abundant – you get to choose how to experience your life. This seems like a lie, right? That lack or abundance is a choice? The short answer is that it is. The long answer, however, is much more complex. First, I want to share my favorite Einstein quote, because it’s an important part of this. “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” That, to me, means that reality is what you and I believe that

How Does Journal Therapy Work?

I forgot how powerful journal therapy can be. Let me start by stating that I am in no way a medical professional, therapist, or the like. All of what I know is based on many different life experiences over the years. From the mid-90s through about 2004 I journaled regularly. I have multiple formerly blank books filled with many thoughts, feelings, intentions, and ideas from that period. When I maintained those journals, I was writing as little as weekly and

Ask and Ye Shall Receive

Negativity or positivity – you receive what you ask the Universe for. True fact: Spend 2 minutes scrolling through Facebook or Twitter and you will find bad news. Some will be deeply personal. Someone passed away, a relationship ended, a job was lost, and so on. Most, though, will be broad and utterly impersonal. Politics, the ongoing pandemic, global warming, and on and on. This can very quickly become overwhelming. I get it. Part of why I have been working

Be Who You Love

Be who you love – and your life will reflect that. Self-love is often misunderstood and viewed as selfish, arrogant, egotistical, and many other negative connotations. But the truth of self-love is that the person you spend the most time with is you. In fact, you cannot leave yourself, abandon yourself, or set yourself aside. Of course, astral projection, distractions, drugs, alcohol, and other things can separate you from yourself temporarily. But no matter where you go – there you

I’ve Written This Before

I’ve written this before – and will write it all again. In pursuit of living my philosophy, I have written the same things over and over again. Despite the fact I’ve written this before, I know that I will write it again. And that’s simply because it bears repeating. This applies to the following ideas/notions/concepts: Consciousness creates reality Mindfulness is conscious awareness of your sensory input as well as your thoughts, feelings, actions, and intentions Change is the only constant

Focus on What You Can Control

Be mindful when you focus on matters outside of your control. We live in a mad, mad, mad world. Here in the United States, we’ve reached this bizarre place where a lot of people believe in a demonstrably false reality. Despite all evidence and logic to the contrary – they buy into any number of lies told to them by politicians, business leaders, religious leaders, and so on. If, like me, you question things, strive to learn, grow, and evolve

Getting Myself Consciously and Subconsciously Aligned

I know my goals – short and long term – now I just need to get aligned. When I was 9 years old, I wrote my first work of fiction. It was 50 pages and illustrated – and I got a tremendous sense of accomplishment from creating it. Over the years, I continued to write in fits and starts. While I knew my passion was writing, I bought into a whole lot of the notorious lies about it. Most writers

Focusing Within Gives You More Control Than Focusing Without

I need to put less into focusing on the things outside of my control. We live in a crazy world. After a year that featured massive, necessary social change due to a pandemic, an awful election and ongoing ugliness after it, and massive uncertainty – there is a light at the end of the tunnel. But that light isn’t the same for everyone. For some people it’s daylight – for others, it’s an oncoming train. This is largely dependent on

You Belong Here

The positivity of this statement is tremendous. You belong here. You might know your life’s purpose. Or you might not. Either way – you belong here. I know a lot of people who struggle with questions big and small. They search for meaning, try to understand why they exist, the impact they have on the world, and more. Questing to understand life is good – it helps us to grow and learn. But whatever you find along the way, you
