Is Life Black and White?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Life is not just black and white. Our lives are not lived in the extremes of either/or.  Life is lived in the greys and colors between the black and white of the extremes. Society wants us to use these extremes because they appear easy to relate to.  Black and white, fat and thin, short and tall, rich and poor, and so forth.  These absolutes feel as if

How Am I a Puzzle Piece?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   We are all a puzzle piece in this world.  We all fit together…but not always one with the other. Every single one of us is connected.  We all come from the same source, the same oversoul, or if you prefer, God/Goddess, Powers-that-be, etc.  As such, we are all one, or at least all part of the greater whole. Each of us is a puzzle piece that makes

Can You Know Too Much?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   It is good to gain knowledge.  But is there a line between knowing, and when you know too much? Previously I wrote about the topic of knowing.  As I opined there, the key to knowing is to recognize that for the most part, we know far less than we think. So if that is the case, is it even possible to know too much?  And if so,

Does Gratitude Expand Positivity?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Gratitude is an everyday practice that can generate unbelievable amounts of positivity in our lives. It is so easy to take gratitude for granted.  But there are so many things we all have which we can be thankful for, and this is an incredible creator of amazing things. The spirit of Thanksgiving is expressing gratitude for our family, friends, and loved ones.  I would suggest it holds

What Is Impossible?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Nothing is impossible.  Unless, of course, you believe that it is. Look at the world we live in today.  The technologies available to us, the things we have built and continue to build.  Things considered impossible just a hundred years ago are commonplace today. This does not just apply to the material.  Much of the immaterial we believe to be impossible, is not.  It is just a

Did You Take Action?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   When you had the opportunity, did you take action? What do I mean by that?  It’s actually very simple.  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

What if I Suck at This?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   You have permission to suck. A lot of people feel that they need to always succeed, always win, always get it right.  However, that is, in truth, impossible.  Things will not work out as planned, outside influences will change how a process works, or some other unexpected thing will interfere.  Hopefully it all goes as you want…but there are times where, no matter what you are doing,

Can Creativity Improve the World?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Creativity is an amazing power we each possess. 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

Five Steps to Change our Emotions

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Each of us has the ability to change our emotions. Yes, I know that this seems like a lie, but that doesn’t make it any less true.  We are each able to control how we are feeling.  You and I have the ability to change our emotions. It’s important that we recognize several facts about how emotions work, and how we are able to make changes to

What is Morality?

This post contains affiliate links. For more info, see my disclosures here.   Morality is a matter that gets skirted around a lot these days. Unless you are living under a rock, and to some degree I kind of envy you if you are, you see the travesty happening in the United States Senate currently.  The hearings for the President’s Supreme Court nominee are a total circus.  Despite multiple accusations of sexual misconduct, there is almost an entire party, comprised
