Why do we let people ‘press our buttons’? At times we allow others to have power over our mood; how we think, feel and act. When you take responsibility for your thoughts and feelings, you are less likely to hand over control or to let an automatic defensive position pop up. Close your eyes and see yourself as you step inside a glass elevator and the door closes behind you. Your choice is to go up or down. Think about what mood you are in. Do you want to go up or down? If you are already feeling anxiety, it may cause you frustration and anger and the elevator will take you in the direction of ..read more

Thoughts, just like trains, gain momentum and become more and more difficult to stop. Negative thoughts take you into a deep, dark tunnel from which there seems to be no escape. Have you ever felt so low that, when some well-meaning person told you to ‘snap out of it’ or ‘just think positive thoughts’ you just wanted to punch them in the face? Ha! I know that feeling! People think that I am always positive, always looking for the good in every situation. My life has been a winding path through valleys and climbing hills of love/hate, happy/miserable, kind and then kind of horrible. The more I ..read more

Which lens are you using to look at life? Microscope, binoculars or kaleidoscope?  Our thoughts create our life. Really. We were taught to look at life and think about it looking backwards. We can learn to change our perspective. To begin thinking new thoughts to rearrange life. Does that sound intriguing or impossible?  Do you worry about what everyone else is doing and thinking? We can spend our time comparing ourselves to others, putting everything under a microscope. We feel good about ourselves when we think we are, or do, or have something better than other people. This ego-dri ..read more

The Cave You Fear to Enter Holds the Treasure that You Seek  This quote has often been attributed to Joseph Campbell (1904-1987) Have you ever been curious about something, like a dark cave or a big idea, started to investigate it, got scared and ran away? When you do not challenge yourself, you do not grow. In order to grow, we need to get out of our comfort zone and stretch. Become curious. Decide that you will go after the treasure that is buried deep inside of you; something that you would love. What is an idea that scares and excites you at the same time; something you’ve never done ..read more

Are you feeling trapped, like a pumpkin growing inside a jug? Want to break free?  You might have heard an old story about a farmer who was out checking on his garden. He noticed a small pumpkin beginning to develop. It was early in the season and inclement weather was on the way. The farmer decided to place the little pumpkin inside a jug to protect the delicate little thing. He forgot about the pumpkin in the jug while he was busy all summer. When harvest time came, the farmer was collecting all his produce, including giant pumpkins. He came across the jug and discovered the pumpkin he ..read more

Many people are told that if they get good grades in school they will get into a good university or college. Then they need to get good grades to get a good job. After all, no one wants to go to the dentist, doctor or engineer that graduated at the bottom of the class or failed. Then, when they have the degree they will be set for life, good to go, happy. What if you did all that but are not happy? Did you become a dentist, doctor, engineer or something or someone else because your parents wanted you to, or society said that was what was best for you? You may feel trapped and unfulfilled. If y ..read more

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “We become what we think about all day long.” Does that scare or excite you? Does it make you want to crawl back under the covers or burst forth into the day? What we think about ourselves is a combination of what others have told us and that we believe. Human beings can be programmed by the opinions of other people.  If others had negative opinions, and if we bought in to their opinions, we start to act the way they expect us to act. This creates a self-fulfilling doom prophecy.  If we fear being alone, then the more we worry about being alone and lonely, t ..read more

LAW OF GENDER / GESTATION Goals manifest when the time is right. Build the image and have faith that it is coming! The Law of Gender is a Universal Law which states that everything has a gestation period. It governs masculine and feminine properties and creativity. We are all creative. We create our own life experiences whether we believe that or not. Whether we understand the law or not.  The Law of Gender decrees that everything has a gestation period, an incubation period. There is a process of manifestation, starting from the moment it is originated to when it is manifested. Ideas hav ..read more
