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

Worry
Sometimes worry can seem like it's productive. You feel like you are actively strategizing worst case scenarios. But the only the only thing worry produces is a waste of your time and well-being. Because while you're fixated on some catastrophic future event, you're wasting your present life. And your present life is all that is … Continue reading Worry
Now Here
You can't ever be nowhere, because all there really is, is now, here. You can worry about the future or fret over the past all you want, but they are just ideas in your mind. Where we live, always, is in the now, right here. That's somewhere, and it's vital. It's not nowhere, it's now, … Continue reading Now Here
Visualize
In order to get to the future you want for yourself, you need to see it clearly in your mind first. You need to visualize what you want for your life, and then you will see it in reality. Anyone can visualize. It's similar to recalling the images of a memory, only now you're using … Continue reading Visualize
Timing
Time may very well be a construct. It being something created by our minds in order to measure our reality. Even still, if time is simply an artificial construct, then timing is everything. There is a proper time for things to show up in our lives just as we need them. If the timing isn't … Continue reading Timing
One Day
It's nice to dream about all of the wonderful things you'll do and have one day. But if all you do is dream, then that one day will always be just out of reach. I believe you can achieve any of those dreams that you wish to fulfill, as long as you continue to take … Continue reading One Day
Now
There's no time like the present. Well, there's really no other time to be concerned with than the absolute present. The power is in the Now. Now is all we ever really have. We are fully alive when we remember that, and are mindfully present. There is peace to be found, being in the present … Continue reading Now
Stressed
Feeling stressed is the result of leaving the present moment for some imagined scenario in a different time, either a future or past. You pick your poison. That is why you feel stressed. Come back to the present moment. Your breath is a good anchor to latch onto, because you tend to only breathe in … Continue reading Stressed
Now
The way I figure it, since we only get to go through this particular life once, we might as well be sure and do the right thing now. It's like those people who put plastic on their furniture, so it stays nice. Nice for when? What are they waiting for? Some "special occasion" that might … Continue reading Now
Time Flies
The best thing you can do for yourself is to be where you are. Be present. It may not presently be the exact place or circumstances that you want for yourself, but you'll never really know unless you let yourself be there. Time flies when you're having fun. Actually, time flies when you're fully immersed … Continue reading Time Flies
A Better Now
I used to always dream about a better future. Like, when I was a little kid, I couldn't wait until I was old enough to get my driver's licence. I thought then my life will be a dream. It was going to be so much better because then I could be independent, and drive myself … Continue reading A Better Now
Fully Lived
I have this habit I'm working to change, where I tend to not fully live in the now. I tend to waste my precious moments wishing that it was a future moment in time, a time I think will be better than the present. I'm trying to change this habit, because I've realized it's a … Continue reading Fully Lived
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
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
Fresh Start
Each day is a new chance for you to start fresh, create the life of your dreams, and under your terms. If you can breathe, if you find yourself to be awake in this new day, you get that chance. In the book The Magic of Believing, author Claude Bristol describes how Franklin D. Roosevelt … Continue reading Fresh Start
Creation
Our thinking is what creates our experience. We tend to spend most of our time lost in our thoughts, which are in effect mostly about problems from the past or an imagined problematic future. Spending so much time thinking about our problems only helps to perpetuate them in our lives. The funny thing is, when … Continue reading Creation
Consciousness
This is a heavy concept, but it's fundamental. Consciousness is a steady stream of Source Energy intelligence that runs throughout all of the Universe as pure Love. And we have access to this intelligence at all times. In fact, we should be accessing it to live a fully heart-centered life. What blocks it from us … Continue reading Consciousness
Reverence
The older I get, the more I'm mindful to follow the adage to live each day as if it was your last. To be present, enjoying the moments as they come, and to not take things for granted. To drop the troubled stories of the past, and the worries of the future. But I also … Continue reading Reverence
Habits
I've had a really bad habit of worrying about the future and worrying about what I'm going to do with my life. But what if I just focused on doing my best, and drop the worrying? What if I just focus on being at peace, being kind, and being as loving as I can be … Continue reading Habits
Energy
I read a post advising not to use your energy to worry, but instead to use it to believe. It hit the nail on a great point. One use of your energy will drain you, the other will sustain you. It's like how our devices start losing their charge the longer we use them. Seems … Continue reading Energy
Avoid Regret
If saying or doing something hurtful against another feels bad to you now, just think about how much worse you may feel in the future, looking back and being powerless to stop your past self. Have you ever recalled something nasty you may have said in the past, and cringed in horror at the thought? … Continue reading Avoid Regret
Forget time
When I'm fully engaged in the present, and when I'm really invested in what I'm doing in the here and NOW, I have no time to wallow about the past or worry about the future. In fact, at that point I have no sense of time at all. It's when I've taken my attention away … Continue reading Forget time
The Gift
As we find ourselves in a world dealing with a global pandemic, and uncertainty all around for what the repercussions will be, I find myself easily slipping into a familiar pattern of wishing it was two months from now. Wishing this time was over. It's an old habit of mine to wish I could fast … Continue reading The Gift
