Is This a Good Idea? It Might Be for Me, But Not for You

Not every good idea is good for everyone. I have lots of ideas. You likely have lots of ideas. Some are ginormous, veritably insurmountable, and lofty as all get-out. Others are more approachable, have paths you can take that people have taken before, and/or roadmaps can be found and employed Most ideas are just ideas. Neither good nor bad. They simply are. And you have them all the time. I’ve been known to spew ideas just because they are fun

Why Should You Write Down Your Ideas and Interesting Thoughts ASAP?

When you write down your ideas, they become harder to lose or misplace. This is not the article I was originally writing. Nope, that article was on a completely different topic. I was about halfway done writing it. Then, my computer crashed. The usual recovery file that tends to pop up when I restart MS Word didn’t. After spending probably more time than I should have searching for this – it all proved to be for naught. The worst part?

What Is Tenacity?

Tenacity, like patience, has never been my strongest suit. One of the keys to succeeding at reaching the destination of any given path, though, is tenacious resolve. What does it mean to have tenacity?  It is best described as the ability to stick-to whatever you are trying to make happen.  I often picture this as a dog with her jaws fastened to a stick she just will not relinquish.  She would rather hold onto it then let it go, even

How is Purpose the Same as Intent?

Action with intent or purpose is far more powerful than action for the sake of itself. Consciousness creates reality.  In order to use this to manifest the end goal or desire, we need to think, feel, and then take intentional action.  I have spent a lot of time writing about thought and feeling, but less on action. Action needs to have intent.  It needs to be done with a purpose in mind.  Action simply to complete the trifecta with thought

What Am I Thinking?

I am always thinking.  But then, really, who isn’t? Our entire reality as we perceive it is based on thought.  We see this life in our own, individual ways, which differ as they do because of our thinking. While it’s true that at our core, we are all energy, and thus all the same, as I have been writing about this week both in Positivity and Pathwalking, how we think defines our individuality.  Not simply what we think, but how

How does the use of I AM matter in Crossing the Bridges?

There are actions I can take, right now, to change my life. The challenge with this is in mindfulness.  While the action I am looking to take is relatively simple, it requires a great deal of mindfulness. I have written before about the power of the words I AM.  These two little words will ultimately define me, in the here and now, in absolute and specific ways.  I AM is far more powerful than the retrospective I WAS or the

Can I Cross These Bridges? Dreaming vs Doing

I am afraid to do the thing I should do. Afraid is not actually the correct feeling, however.  At least, not in the face of logic.  Maybe, the more correct thing here is I am concerned about the consequences that would come of my doing the thing I know I should do. What is the elephant in the room?  My job. I have a decent, reasonable paying, low-pressure job. The hours are okay.  The commute is generally not problematic.  This

What it means to Cross the Bridges – Different Aspects of My Writing

I love writing. I have been writing since I was 9 years old.  Wildfire was sci-fi, 50 hand-written pages long and illustrated by yours truly.  The basic premise: the grown-ups of the world allowed this mad scientist to create robots, who took over everything for everyone.  The adults got fat and lazy, the kids got distraught over this so they rebelled, stole a bunch of military hardware, created a base in the walls of the Grand Canyon, and in time

Crossing the Bridges: The Why of my Blog

Why do I blog? Recently, a webinar I viewed took me to an unexpected place, and I began a course to learn new ways to earn money as a blogger.  I mean, this is something I love rather a lot, so why shouldn’t I be earning a living doing this? One of the questions the instructor posed is, Why do you blog?  This is an interesting question, and the answer to it caused me to realize that this whole blog

Crossing the Bridges: Finding Joy

What brings me joy? Sunlight.  Writing.  Reading.  Time with my wife.  Time with my friends.  My cats.  My niece and my nephews.  Driving with the windows down and the radio blasting.  Helping other people. I want more joy in my life.  I want to spend more time happy, excited to greet the day and write my stories and share my blogs and do everything I can to make at least my corner of the world the best place that it
