Positivity: Celebrate our Similarities

We should celebrate our sameness more. The things that make us all similar, our basic humanity and our universal desires for love and happiness, are not something to be ignored.  These things that we all share are amazing, and we should celebrate them. We need to deemphasize our differences and the things that divide us, and make a bigger deal about our commonalities.  There is tremendous positivity in unity and in our sameness. We put too great importance on physical

Positivity: Independence

Everyone desires independence. Certainly there are times when having someone else to make decisions for you might be appealing, but overall I cannot think of anyone who doesn’t want independence. Today is Independence Day in the United States.  While this is a national holiday celebrating our declaration of independence from Great Britain two-hundred and forty years ago, the concept of independence is far broader.  All of us, as individuals, are independent of thought, of action, and of feeling.  No one

Positivity: Living in the Now

In the now we are in control of our own feelings, thoughts and actions. Right now, at this very moment, I can choose how I want to feel.  I get to choose if I want to worry about future events or reminisce about past events.  I get to choose, right now, what I want to think about.  I choose my actions at this moment. Society obsesses with both the past and the future.  We think of the past that times

Positivity: How we approach the things we have to do

Welcome to another Monday.  Yes, the weekend is over.  How do you choose to face the work week? This is so much more within our control than we realize.  Since we are each in control of our own emotional state, as such we each get to choose how we will face the day, and that can totally set the tone for how we face the coming week. I know some of the arguments that can made against this perspective.  It’s

Positivity: Love

Love is the ultimate expression of positivity. We live in a world where love often takes a back seat to fear, to ignorance, to terror, to shame, and ultimately to hate.  Yet love is something every single one of us needs, to the same degree as we need air and food and water. Love is often made out to be this grandiose, monstrous thing, often hard to come by, hard to keep, and hard to maintain.  Nothing could be further

Positivity: Living in the Now

Living in the now can be as positive an experience as you make it. Living in the now allows us to only be focused on our immediate needs, our immediate surroundings, and ourselves.  Living in the now lets us ultimately focus on pretty much anything and everything we want to. What’s the difference?  When you live in the past you can really easily get caught up in all the “what ifs”.  What if I had done ‘x’?  What if I

Lack of focus makes manifestation difficult, if not impossible. One of my biggest issues with creating the life I want and really, truly walking my path is a lack of focus. I know what I want to do, I have the idea of how I want my life to be…but I can’t focus enough on the here-and-now to make this happen. Last week I wrote about removing negativity from my focus. To do this I stated three steps: 1) Don’t

I am particularly adept at identifying my own faults. I can see what I am doing wrong, I can see how I am choosing poorly, I am completely aware of my errors and mistakes. I am my own greatest critic. While there is validity in being able to see and own up to your imperfections, it is of greater importance that you do not let them linger. It is very easy to berate myself. It takes as little effort to

Pathwalking 168

You are not unsupported. Even when you are walking your own path, you are never completely alone. You have supporters, you have resources available to you. I have spent a great deal of time with people not understanding my choices. There have been many along the way who did not nor could not understand what I was about. And I will be the first to admit that it may have behooved me in the past to have paid greater heed
