Your Perspective
Your perspective colors everything that you see. In fact, it's responsible for everything you see. So, if you don't like what you see, you've got to change your mind. Wayne Dyer said it best when he said: Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at change. It all starts and … Continue reading Your Perspective

Fear may kill the mind, but love … Continue reading Fear

Let's make being considerate … Continue reading Considerate

Out
A mind is a wonderful, helpful tool, but it isn't advisable to stay up in there for too long. The longer you stay hidden in your mind, the longer you miss out on living in the world. If you stay too long hidden in your mind, it will scare you into wanting to stay forever. … Continue reading Out

Mind Work
Our minds are so powerful that they can be our source of heaven or of hell. We experience life through the projections of our mind, so it's probably a good idea to get to know how to get it to work for us, rather than against us. Of course that may be a lot easier … Continue reading Mind Work

Knowledge
They say that knowledge is power. And it's true. Knowledge can equip you with anything you may need to get ahead in life. But knowledge cannot help you if you don't put it into practice. You can't just collect knowledge for it's own sake. You can't always live upstairs in your head. Believe me, I've … Continue reading Knowledge

Overthinking
The mind can be tricky. It can be a relief to understand that thinking is what causes upset, not circumstances. However, if you try to stop thinking, you're only getting deeper into thought. It's tricky. I believe it's best to not let it bother you. The easier you are on yourself about your thoughts, the … Continue reading Overthinking

A Course in Miracles says: "There is only one problem, choosing fear over love." The world seems to be chock full of problems, or as ACIM points out, it's full of fear.

One of my favorite authors on the subject of ACIM is the very entertaining … Continue reading Love in my mind
See it
Bob Proctor says If you see it in your mind, you will hold it in your hand. I believe this. I don't think it's some magic trick, or woo-woo, new age mumbo jumbo. It's extremely practical when you realize that anything you can physically hold in your hand was once just a thought in someone's head. … Continue reading See it
