We can always choose!

Some good advice! Don’t ask. Choose your path. Be clear, easily understood, and focused on using the best possible action to move you forward!
I’m offering some simple, two-word sentences that can give us a boost that we might need this coming week. You can use them for inspiration, for entertainment, or just for fun!
If you find a few you like, maybe you’ll want to write the words on an index card and hang them where you can see them. Keep them nearby and see if you can start to make them a subconscious mantra. (‘mantra’ meaning your chosen statement for a great day!)











I don’t think you can go wrong on any of these choices if you want to live a rich and fulfilling life!
What phrase do you use to get you through the day or to remind you of what it was you chose to experience today?
not 4 but 6 Seasons…
The transition between seasons (both of nature and of our personal lives) are worth examining! And particularily, the in-between ones that lead us to the four acknowledged ones of winter, spring, summer, and autumn. First, let’s realize the truth about nature’s seasons. Four seasons is just wrong for this part of our planet. After all, […]
The yeast in our lives
Mothers teach us to add, adding the ingredients to the recipe. Sisters can teach us how to subtract as they snitch the chocolate chips from the bag. Fathers can teach us how to divide the cake by letting one of us cut it and the other choose their piece first. But learning how to multiply? […]
We’re energy systems…
We are not a chunk of flesh, we are energy! If we were to magnify ourselves, we would find that we are made of cells, which in turn are made up of molecules of various substances. These are made up of atoms which are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. And these are energy packets. […]
Every minus is half of a plus?
Consider the possibility that what you thought was wrong with you may actually be what’s right with you! And if this is so then you have made only one mistake, that of judging yourself negatively, based on possibly erroneous or insufficient evidence. Here are some ways what you thought was wrong with you might actually […]
Reading can add a chapter to your life!
I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT! There’s a study done by Yale University that says people who read books tend to live loger than those who don’t. Almost two years longer, in fact! The data of 3,635 people over the age of 50 had almost a 20% lower risk of death in the 12 years […]
Take some tiny steps
Want to shift one of your behaviors? There is a formula for that! And it applies to everything from flossing our teeth to running a marathon. A Wall Street Journal article shared that this approach was tested with more than 40,000 people over the past decade. To instill a new habit, the first thing we […]
Learning to handle winter
Winters come regularly, right after autumn. Some are long, some are short, some are difficult, some are easy, but they always come right after autumn. That’s never going to change. There are all kinds of winters-the “winter” when you can’t figure it out, the “winter” when everything seems to go haywire. There are economic winters, […]
to resolve or not to resolve?
Some thoughts… some humor! Even some intriguing ideas to consider! Some thoughts: Some humor: Some intriguing ideas: Have the same ones come up for you year after year? Maybe we should ask ourselves “Why?” first. Is it a “should” or “someone else’s idea for us” or just “tradition”? Are these good reasons? Maybe we need […]
what do you REALLY want?
If you want to find your dream home, describe it. “It’s on a hill, surrounded by tall trees, with a panoramic view.” What feeling does the house give you? “Security.” And the hill? “It would show me perspective.” And the trees? “Trees represent growth.” And the panoramic view? “It attunes me to expansiveness.” So…you really […]
