We tend to think of Heaven and God as being up, up above, among the stars. We tend to feel things like love and happiness within, inside of us. It's also worth noting that all that thinking of Heaven and God is coming from up, up in our heads where our brains are. And feeling … Continue reading Up

Now
No matter what kind of thoughts your mind is thinking, whether about the past or future, it's thinking them now, in the present. You are always in the now. Once you learn to get your mind there as well, then you'll realize how powerful you truly are.
Ideas
We all have ideas of how we want things to go. We have ideas of how we'd like to be. That's all well and good, truly, but it doesn't help anything if they just stay as ideas up in your head. At some point you need to stop with the ideas, and start with the … Continue reading Ideas
Act Now
It just doesn't work to only sit around thinking about how you're going to create your life. You have to get up and do it. Action brings you the clarity you're looking for. Action creates your life. I have to remind myself of this often, because I tend to live up inside my head most … Continue reading Act Now
Sight
Sight is something you have for the past. Vision is something you have for the future. We see what we've trained our brains to see. So anything that is in your line of sight is what has already been accepted as probable in your thinking. You've decided that you would see it, and you saw … Continue reading Sight
Move
When there are so many thoughts racing through your head that you feel overwhelmed and overpowered by them, then the best thing you can do, is move your body. Get into some sort of physical action. You've been stuck in your head. You've been neglecting your body. And you need to balance both of those … Continue reading Move
Awareness
The cool thing about tapping into Awareness, is when you realize that the things you are sure you know all about, are actually only that way in your mind. You're seeing things only as you think they should be. You're thinking it all up. When you become aware of your thinking, rather than believing that … Continue reading Awareness
Do it
Most anything can be done easily when you just get to doing it. It's when you think too much about doing it, and about how you're going to do it, that it starts to get complicated. You can end up thinking yourself into a panic that it's just too difficult to do. Now, some things … Continue reading Do it
Thinking up Ideas
Movement is what you need. Action will help get you to the answers you are seeking, much more effectively than just sitting around pondering the questions. Taking time to sit and think can be calming, but it doesn't bring as much clarity as actually moving into action does. When we sit around and try to … Continue reading Thinking up Ideas
Happiness
Our happiness is determined by what is inside of us. It doesn't come from anything on the outside. In fact what comes to us from the outside world is a reflection of our inner thoughts. So if you're stuck on the illusion that you need to wait for a specific thing, or person, or result … Continue reading Happiness
Something to Think About
It seems to me that we get divided as a society when we start seeing each other as ideas, blanket principles and policies, rather than as people. We are all still people. And at the end of the day, we all laugh, cry, and love. We all have these powerful hearts that can swell with … Continue reading Something to Think About
As it comes
The times that life has been really hard for me, were the times that I was thinking about how hard life can be. Any difficult task or dreaded situation has always been much harder to bear in my thoughts about it, rather than when I actually ended up doing it. It reminds me of that … Continue reading As it comes
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
Thinking
Einstein famously said: "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them." Recently, I heard author and psychologist Dr. Dicken Bettinger share some of his own wisdom that reminded me of this quote by Mr. Einstein. Dr. Bettinger said: "If you have a problem, stop thinking about it. When you stop … Continue reading Thinking
Action
The greatest teachers of motivation all agree that action cures fear. In fact, I recently heard the host of Impact Theory, Tom Bilyeu, say that "Action Cures All!" Fear is an emotion caused by a perceived danger or threat. In other words, it is started in the mind. So the best way to counter that, … Continue reading Action
Move Mountains
It's okay to plan out what you want to accomplish in your life, but it's important to not get stuck in the planning stage. Action is the magic key to getting those goals achieved. You won't be a master at it in the beginning, but if you start moving in the direction of your goals, … Continue reading Move Mountains
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
Thoughts
A Course in Miracles teaches that What you see reflects your thinking, and your thinking but reflects the choice of what you want to see. Our brains are these perfectly built machines with an elegant system for filtering information far better than any algorithm from a computer search engine or social media platform. Through the … Continue reading Thoughts
Beliefs
Oprah shared these words of wisdom about living your dream life: You don’t become what you want, you become what you believe. Our beliefs run our whole lives. They affect how we look at things. They actually limit our focus on the things we do see. And our beliefs definitely determine what we become in … Continue reading Beliefs
Introspection
Eckhart Tolle recently brought up a famous quote from Shakespeare's Hamlet, "There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so." Hamlet should know. He was an awfully introspective fellow, always dancing around in his head with those heavy thoughts of his. And the message is important. Things, experiences, situations, and relationships are … Continue reading Introspection
Get that energy moving.
The antidote to fear is action. Get up and do something. I just swiffered my floors, and as the dust bunnies lifted onto that glorified dryer sheet, my spirits also lifted from their funk. I know that it can seem like the safe choice to sit around and think your way through your troubles, but … Continue reading Get that energy moving.
