Life is a series of choices. If you don't make the choices yourself, they will be chosen for you. There's no getting out of it, that's how life keeps moving forward. So, since a choice needs to be made, your best bet is to take ownership of the situation and choose.

Your Time
If you feel like there's never enough time to get it all done, remember the most important part of this equation: you! It is your time. It may not feel like it, because you have obligations, but remember that you chose each and every one of those obligations. You chose to divide your time up … Continue reading Your Time
Obligations
Remember a fundamental fact: all of your obligations are from your own choices. Realizing that you are the one who chose to bring them into your life, can turn all of your obligations from something you have to do, into something you get to do. And, that can make all the difference in the world. … Continue reading Obligations
Strength
Strength doesn't always mean a show of brute force. Sometimes strength is choosing to be calm and gentle. Strength comes from your choices. How you choose to react to situations shows your true strength.
Options
No one is born inherently evil. No one is born inherently saintly. As we go through life, we are presented with many options. Choices we can take based on what we experience. You get to choose if you want to act out in an evil or in a saintly way. And, you can always choose … Continue reading Options
Where ya going
Where are you going to end up? No need to worry about where you've been, that's all done. Where you're going is what matters. The key to finding that out, is to look at the choices you're making right now. Any choice you're making that you know isn't healthy or good for you, is shooting … Continue reading Where ya going
Yourself
The reason you should eat right, and get plenty of sleep, drink lots of water and exercise, is that it will all help you feel good and enjoy your life. The reason why you should practice gratitude, meditate, and take deep calming breaths is to take good care of yourself. You are the reason you … Continue reading Yourself
Worthy
When making a choice, do you consider the consequences? When choosing what to eat, or watch, or even what kind of conversations you're willing to be a part of, do you consider if the choice is worthy of someone respectable? You are amazing. You should start treating yourself as worthy of the highest regard. That … Continue reading Worthy
Verified
You could wait until the path for your life is verified before beginning to live it, but you'll be waiting forever. The thing is that we just don't know all of the variables in life. We can't possible know that, the options are endless. So, the one true path for you simply cannot be verified. … Continue reading Verified
Useful
You could say a lot. You could do a lot. But how much of it is useful? How much of it is just chasing your emotions and whims? We're blessed with these lives of ours, we can do whatever we want with them. But the thing is, our time is limited. Do you really want … Continue reading Useful
Deliberate
In my lifetime, I've been happy-go-lucky, easygoing, not wanting to ruffle feathers, just kinda drifting, and I've also been deliberately focused, staying on track, making decisions based on what was best for me. The easygoing option might have been heavenly for the toxic people in my life, but I was stagnant and personally suffered. Being … Continue reading Deliberate
Choose
A peaceful life is the result of choosing to be peaceful as many times as you can make that choice. A joyful life is the result of choosing to be joyful as often as you possibly can. A life filled with respect and dignity comes from making respectful and dignified choices. You get to help … Continue reading Choose
Epic Days
Speak up now. Take action today. Be prepared to have this be the last day you are remembered by, because tomorrow is not guaranteed. Love those around you. Forgive easily. Laugh and smile sincerely. Not because it puts others at ease, but because it makes life feel so much brighter for you, and because it … Continue reading Epic Days
Decisions
I believe that if you're having trouble with a decision in life, particularly on deciding if choosing one way is the right choice, then that means that it is not. The best choice is to stop struggling with a decision. The decision is no. The best course of action is to move on from this … Continue reading Decisions
Good Behavior
What you focus on grows. And so, the answer to someone's bad behavior isn't to fight them. It only hurts you to go as low as them. And you can forget about trying to shame them. If they were rotten enough to hurt you, abuse you, or abandon you in your time of need, it's … Continue reading Good Behavior
Good Deeds
Our actions tell the story of who we are. Actions speak louder than words. So, if you want to convey that you're a good person, it's simple, do good deeds. That alone should be incentive enough to want to make the highest available choice in how to act, every time. But, if that really isn't … Continue reading Good Deeds
Cherish
Do you ever play the game where you think if I could travel back through time and visit my younger self, I'd tell him or her to really enjoy their youth and this innocent chapter... or something along those lines? Well, what do you think your future self is going to think about this time … Continue reading Cherish
Self Respect
We need people. We need to develop, foster, and nurture our relationships. Relationships are vital. They are the foundation of a successful and joyous life. But if you find yourself in a situation that's possibly toxic, where you do not want to know the people around you, and you just want to retreat and isolate … Continue reading Self Respect
Expiration
This has been an extremely challenging year. That is not a surprising statement to anyone reading it and currently living through this year of so-called perfect vision: 2020. In fact, "challenging" may be an understatement. Regardless, we're going through it, and soon it will end. Just like each of our individual stories will eventually come … Continue reading Expiration
Authenticity
I used to push myself to be good enough to belong in a life I didn't really like. I thought I would finally like it if only I got better at navigating it. It was a convoluted expression of impostor syndrome. Impostor syndrome is defined as a psychological pattern in which one doubts one's accomplishments … Continue reading Authenticity
Make the Most Out of Living
Death is shocking, and tragic, and inevitable. It doesn't ever seem to come at the right time to those left behind, always leaving us feeling unprepared. And yet, we know that it will come to each one of us eventually. Knowing this shouldn't make us callous to the shock of death. It can't even do … Continue reading Make the Most Out of Living
This Moment
Eckhart Tolle says: Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have. If we were to truly heed his words and realize this statement deeply and consistently, then I believe that most of our suffering would cease. Suffering comes from resistance. And what we are resisting most consistently is the present moment. We're … Continue reading This Moment
