I do not like to wait, in particular when it comes to anything I deeply desire. Time may be an illusion, but that doesn’t mean that you can go completely without patience. Impatience comes particularly easily to our society, too. Our quick-fix, instant-gratification society simply has no

Too many of us get caught up in the world around us, and as such tend to neglect ourselves. We are concerned for our coworkers, friends, family, and loved ones long before we are concerned for ourselves. The irony of this is that when you are good to yourself, you are more capable of being

I discuss gratitude here a great deal, because of its necessity in conscious reality creation. Moreover, I frequently explain that thought, and words of the thought, are not enough. Feeling is an essential element in this manifestation process. It is really easy to say thank you. Two words, pretty straightforward. But the in-depth expression of gratitude, to be thankful

Knowing how little we know is extremely important. Why? Because there will always be something new to learn. There are new experiences to be had. New people to be met. How many languages do you speak? Do you know how to fence with a sword in each hand?

Recognizing the good distractions from the bad is important. I often joke that I suffer ADOS – Attention Deficit Ooooooooooooo, Shiny Disorder. This is borne of my attention being drawn away from one focus to another, sometimes really easily. Distractions come in many forms. Some are, without a doubt, good. But more often than
Savor the moment. Be grateful, and excited, and enjoy it, here and now. As you are reading this my annual vacation is drawing to an end. I have been enjoying a week of rest and relaxation with friends and chosen family, unwinding and de-stressing. Fun, good company, and an opportunity to hit the reset button. Rather than become bummed out that my vacation is over, though, I am going to savor the moment. From there, I am going to take
Only the now matters in the grand scheme of things. Yes, we can learn from the past and do things to prepare for the future…but this moment is the most real moment we will have. Only the now is the place of true reality. The actual, factual place where anything exists. Each individual moment, right here and right now, are where reality lives. My latest reading material has been Eckhart Tolle’s The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment.
Self-care is empowering. When we do things to care for our own health and wellbeing, we provide ourselves with the ability to give more to others. Self-care is not selfish. When we take care of our own needs; comfort; intellectual, emotional and physical stimulation, we actually are empowering ourselves to give more to others. Our smartphones can do incredible things. They can find directions, connect us to friends and family, get us information across the globe, provide hours of entertainment,
Today will be what we make of it. Whether you begin your day feeling refreshed or sleepy; excited or anxious; with apprehension or confidence – today will be what you and I make it out to be. It is easy to forget that each day brings about something new. Yes, there are routines to every single day of our lives. We wake, we do stuff, we sleep. Frequently, we simply allow the day to just happen. We do not accept
Time is relative. Our perception of it is variable, fluctuates, and changes depending on how much attention we are paying to it. Einstein told us that time is an illusion. More specifically, he said, “The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.” Yet our whole society obsesses over these distinctions. Last week, I wrote about my tendency to always put my work on conscious reality creation ahead of me. Not in the here-and-now, but
