We set goals and objectives for our lives. We want to feel like we are growing and progressing. But old habits can be hard to break.
Commit to changing one thing that doesn’t get you where you’re trying to go. Stay with it. If you fall backwards, start again. You aren’t defeated until you decide you are.
If nothing changes, nothing changes…
Do you have someone in your life who knows you, someone who really knows who you are? If you do, treasure them. Someone who knows you and accepts you as you are and where you are without judgment is a rare find.
All of us have a deep desire to be seen, to be heard and to be known. Yet we can create facades to keep others from getting too close. We insulate ourselves to protect ourselves.
By releasing judgment from our minds frees us to see people clearly. Let go of needing to feel protected from the world. Be yourself, your best self. The world is judging anyway. ..
Money doesn’t buy happiness. You only get fulfillment through service to others, to those who can never do anything to repay you…
Don’t end up a cold or timid soul. Jesus called it lukewarm. Dare greatly…
Let’s face it, all of us have a limited amount of time on earth. We don’t have the luxury of knowing how long, but it’s up to us to make the most of our time.
Live fully. Every day. Stay focused on the far horizon and don’t allow anyone to discourage you from realizing your dreams…
When you take a step back and observe the challenges our world faces, it can be overwhelming. That’s not a valid reason to give up solving them before even trying.
Hunger, homelessness and mental health must be addressed one person at a time. It takes collective effort from all of us. We can make a difference. It begins with believing we can…
We talk to ourselves constantly. When we are feeling good about our lives, we encourage ourselves. Have a run of bad luck and the opposite is true.
But which voice are we listening to? My parents told me I would never amount to anything, that I “wasn’t worth a damn.” For a period of my life, I validated their belief. Until I no longer accepted what they said as true.
Sometimes the voices of doubt and insecurity return, but I don’t have to believe them. Neither do you…
Repentance is a word I rarely use because it sounds too religious. Let’s take a deeper look into what the word means in today’s blog.
To repent means to “change your mind.” But it doesn’t mean change your mind in the sense of “today I planned to wear green but decided on blue instead.” No, it means to change the way you think. When we change our mindset, we change our outcomes.
Change can be hard. I get that. But if the old way of thinking hasn’t served you well, it’s probably worth taking on the challenge of change…
That one time the soothsayer got it right! Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope your day is peaceful and relaxing, and that you find reasons to be grateful every day…
Boundaries are something many people struggle with. For a period in my life, I couldn’t bring myself to say “no” to anything people asked of me. As a result, I would end up doing a lot of things half-ass. By not giving my best, my self-esteem took a hit.
After doing a lot of self-work (12 years of psychotherapy and counting), I learned it’s okay to say no. Setting boundaries is a form of standing up for yourself. By doing this, I became more effective in the things I said yes to.
Learn to say no. Say yes to whatever is enriching and edifying to your life. The first time is the hardest, but that’s how you grow…
