Pessimism is a particularly sinister addiction. It feels like it's protecting you. It feels like you're being discerning, like you're expressing a valid opinion. But, the more you judge things in a pessimistic light, under the guise of offering an opinion, the more you teach your brain to be pessimistic. It feels good to sit … Continue reading Pessimism

Path
Love is the path of Heaven. Fear is the path of Hell. These are not final destinations. They are the paths of Heaven or Hell, not to them. Your choices dictate what path you are on. The final judgement is in your hands. It's been given to you for you to decide. And, you decide … Continue reading Path
Nobody’s Judging
It may be hard to believe, but people aren't watching and judging you as much as you think they are. We all tend to think we are the center of the Universe. And in some respects, we are. We are the center of our own Universe. But, so is everyone else, respectively, with their own … Continue reading Nobody’s Judging
Evolve
You are not done. Nothing is ever done. It's always changing, evolving and growing. Who you are today will change by tomorrow, even if only ever so slightly. Your beliefs, your knowledge, and certainly your life experience will keep changing. And that goes the same for everyone else. Just think about it. If you were … Continue reading Evolve
Greatness
When you feel judged, it's best to remember that your feelings come from your thoughts. The judgement you're feeling is coming from your own perspective. That feeling of being judged is coming directly from yourself. That realization is empowering, because it reveals that you are in charge of your perceptions. Your perceptions are what dictate … Continue reading Greatness
Perspective
I believe that because we each experience the world as filtered through our own perspective, that what we see is simply a result of what we are. Basically, if you think the world is full of liars, it's because you are a liar. If you can be convinced that something has a sinister ulterior motive, … Continue reading Perspective
Sweeping Solution
People have a bad habit of pointing outwards at what they see is wrong in others. But all of that outward focus blinds them to their own bad behavior. Nobody is perfect. Ubiquitous perfection doesn't even exist, as everyone has their own idea of what that should be. The point is that we are all … Continue reading Sweeping Solution
Forward
The way I see it, is that it's just a waste of time to point fingers and complain about what has gone wrong. Actually, looking back just to point out how bad it was is worse than a waste of time, it's foolish. And you're nobody's fool. Time only marches forward, so we should face … Continue reading Forward
Better
We think everything happens out there, and that the world out there has too many things that need to be fixed. And it's a big world. And needing to fix such a big world makes it seem like a really big job. But it's important to remember that we each are a part of this … Continue reading Better
Peace
The Dalai Lama says World Peace begins with Inner Peace. It all begins with you. How peaceful are you inside? There are so many things in the world to be angry over. So many things to judge. So much evil to hate. But those emotions do not bring peace to you, and will never bring … Continue reading Peace
It takes one to know one.
When we judge another, it's because we think we know exactly what they're up to. We think we know of this sin that they're committing because we have an awareness of it inside of us as well. What if this awareness is not so much of an alert to start judging, but rather a signal … Continue reading It takes one to know one.
We can be heroes
Everyone is the hero of their own story. Odds are then, that this also means you're going to be the villain in other people's stories. I mean, how many times can people tell a story about "that assface" who cut them off on the freeway, before you end up being this assface that they're talking … Continue reading We can be heroes
