If you want to see change in the direction the nation is heading, this is the best way you can DO something about it. Get out there and vote. One of the greatest rights we have in this nation is our ability to vote. Despite all the messages of disempowerment we receive,
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
What will I find that I desire for today? Though today may have many similarities to yesterday, it will still be different. That’s because every single day of our lives is unique. I know that that doesn’t always feel true, but it absolutely is. The ambient temperature, humidity and pressure are different. We likely are wearing different clothing. What we eat will vary. Yes, these are all really small, seemingly insignificant things, but the devil is in the details. All
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
Do you do things that you desire to do? It is all too easy to do things for other people, and to do things that are “expected” of us, and ignore what we desire for ourselves. Some of these desires are little things, like sitting down to read a book; eating ice cream; watching a video; taking a walk; playing a game; and so on. Then there are the desires to do big things, like take a vacation; start a
Standing up for what is right is not always the easiest choice. But it is still a good choice. In the medieval reenactment game I have been playing for almost 27 years now, there is currently a leader, a “King”, who has been openly racist, and continually taking inappropriate actions regularly. In a society where most of the people I know are open, welcoming, and otherwise decent to one another, this is a terrible disappointment. A friend of mine took
Like everything in life, there are times to be stubborn, and times to be more flexible or yielding. How do you know when to fight and when not to? This is dictated by a combination of logic, reasoning, and emotion. Some fights are on a pretty grand scale. For example, politics in the United States. Resisting the anti-science, pro-business, anti-intellectual rhetoric and policies coming out of Congress and the White House is something of an imperative. If we do not
Expressing gratitude develops tremendous positivity. Today is Memorial Day, and I want to say Thank You to all of those who have served the country for the greater good of all. Those who have chosen to put their lives on the line so that the rest of us may live in relative peace and comfort are not thanked enough for all that they do and have done. Today we remember those who died protecting our freedoms. Expressing gratitude for the
Discipline has never been my strength. For a long time now I have remarked about my frequent lack of discipline. While this is certainly something to take into consideration in regards to how I live my life, it is time to make another change. Consciousness creates reality. If I say I have no discipline, that’s an expression of how I feel, ergo…surprise surprise, no discipline. Like attracts like. When I can be disciplined to do a thing, I tend to
Words matter. The words we say matter. But what matters more are the words we think. In especial, those we think frequently, and those we use in reference to ourselves. Most of us are thinking constantly. Hell, for a lot of us, the very notion of turning off our brains seems totally impossible. One of the reasons why meditation is so healthy is because when we meditate it’s one of the few times we can stop the chatter. However, since
