Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
How do I go about taking responsibility for my own empowerment? There are several ways to make this happen, which I would like to share with you this week. The first step is that we need to acknowledge our own accountability. How? By taking responsibility for our thoughts, feelings and actions. Nobody can control anybody else, unless you allow someone else to be in control. As such, you and you alone are the responsible party when it comes to your
Responsibility is not a dirty word. We often look at responsibilities we have with dread. Let’s face it, there are many things that are a must which most of us would prefer not to do. Trips to the DMV, visiting the doctor or dentist, standing in line at movies or concerts, sitting in traffic because we have to get to wherever it is we are going. Responsibility seems to frequently be lumped into negative things. We see this as a
What is normal? I have been asking this question for most of my life. I haven’t the foggiest idea of what it is to be normal. Society is constantly talking about the “norms”, the things that are acceptable for people to do and be, and we judge people based upon where in this artifice they fit. Everyone has a different definition of what is normal. These definitions get applied to different things in our lives based on our jobs, our
Catharsis is important to being able to walk a chosen path. It never ceases to amaze me how easily emotional baggage accumulates. No matter how much we think we are purging as we go, we still manage to hold on to outdated materials. What’s more, often you don’t even realize you are still holding onto things that you are, and they are still effecting current actions. I don’t know what it is about human nature that we generally cling to

It is of the utmost importance that we be aware of how and what we communicate to people. Whether we are talking about indirect forms, direct talk or body language, communication can make a tremendous difference in how we feel, and as such how we are directing our lives. We are currently living in a society positively obsessed with communication. The amazing thing about that, though, is how impersonal and thoughtless this idea has become. I know that historically this
Hindsight is not always twenty-twenty. We often look to the past, look to what has come before, and we think we see it in perfect clarity, now, after all that has occurred. But in truth, more often than we probably realize, hindsight gets colored by nostalgia, by wistfulness, by a sense that it was oh-so-good and can’t ever be that good again, but it really should be. The past is past. Period. What was is done, gone, and no more.
Positivity matters because how you are feeling will make or break your day. Some days it’s really hard to see how this can be done. When you are working on a problem with few or undesirable solutions or when you give too much focus to the news media and see a dark and dismal world it is difficult at best to find and feel positivity. Sometimes it just feels like it will take too much work, too much effort, and
