Nothing to Fear

It is too much energy to be afraid.  Hiding from others, hiding from our problems, and hiding from ourselves is exhausting work.  When we think about it, what is so intimidating about facing reality?  The worst thing that can happen to us is that we expose our vulnerabilities; the best thing that can happen to… Continue reading Nothing to Fear

Decision-making seems like such a basic skill. However, we sometimes do not think things all the way through.

Personal Peace is a Super Power

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MilgVZ5EA98 There are a lot of things that we are taught during the early years of our lives under the guise that they are important to know for our success as human beings.

Be Yourself. No Permission Needed.

https://youtu.be/200IpGDSYBM Think of the years that have been wasted attempting to modify who you are in hopes that you will be more acceptable to others. We don’t like to admit that we do this. In fact, if anyone asks us we’re prone to deny it and respond with some cliché statement like, “I don’t really… Continue reading Be Yourself. No Permission Needed.

Do Yourself a Favor. Worry Less.

  We tend to think about the things we want to do. This makes sense, especially when you’re a goal-oriented visualization enthusiast who understands the importance of seeing it before you get there.
