Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Living and just existing are two different notions. I read a quote that inspired me the other day. It is attributed to Oscar Wilde. “To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.” Everyone exists, but not everyone chooses to truly live. What’s the difference? I believe it is intention. Intentional action, to be specific. Every single day you exist. You breathe, do things, go about your day, and exist. A lot of this is
All you have to do is make a choice. Decide to be aware. Work to find or create positivity. You have a choice. You can choose to be aware of your thoughts, feelings, and actions – mindful – or not. Being mindful brings you to the now and allows you to choose whether your thoughts and feelings rule you or if you will rule them. Mindfulness is not just the awareness of your thoughts, feelings, and actions…but then choosing what
How do you know what your best you is? This is one of those paradoxes that are super-simple yet infinitely complex. I am a firm believer in the notion of conscious reality creation. I am convinced that I am empowered to take my personal illusion of reality and shape it to best fit me. There are a lot of challenges and obstacles along any given path, but rather than let life live me I want to live life. So I
To avoid overwhelm while remaining informed is not easy, but utterly necessary for finding and maintaining positivity. Let’s be perfectly honest here. The world you and I live in today is complicated, and all-too-often full of fear, lack, scarcity, and overall negativity. All you have to do is scroll through social media.

But the actions need focus, direction, or specifically intention. So what is intent? Dictionary.com defines it thus: Intent (noun) something that is intended; purpose; design; intention the act or fact of intending, as to do something meaning or significance. When it

I know that, for me at least, on more than one occasion I either made no choice, procrastinated about, or did not fully commit to a decision. Why? Because what if I made the wrong one? This is why recognizing that few decisions we make are truly permanent is so important to really living our lives. No matter how

However, getting the head (thought) and the heart (feeling) aligned can be challenging. One way to get the head and heart in sync is to be more mindful. Mindfulness, or awareness, can take us to all kinds of incredible places. This is not awareness of the outside world…it is awareness of ourselves. It is a matter of

Why? Because the only person we ever need to be better than is our present self. Further, in truth, we cannot generally be better than anyone else. We are, in the grand make-up of the universe, all equal. Yes, when it comes to certain athletic

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
