  • Practice Larger Perspectives

    What follows is an excerpt from my book Bliss Or Bust: Uplifting Thoughts.

    When feelings of justified anger arise, find a larger perspective. You can practice diffusing and releasing feelings of anger. Do it for your own wellbeing, not for their sake.

    Looking at all the details of the situation fuels the fire. So take the opposite tactic to snuff it out and redirect your creative energy where it can serve you best.

    Get general and give the benefit of the doubt if you want to get back to the love side of the scale. You can soften your response to frustration or irritation rather than anger. Soothe yourself. Learn to give “outs” to whoever or whatever you feel angry about. Go as big as you need to in order to feel better.

    Give ridiculous outs. Laugh as a silly thought that excuses them pops into your head, and you’ll feel less angry. It’s vital that you do so you can move up to a more powerful feeling on the love side of the scale rather than continuing down the fear side of the scale.

  • Ask for a Refill

    What follows is an excerpt from my book Bliss Or Bust: Uplifting Thoughts.

    Notice those times when you feel deflated. Nothing is really wrong. Your mind might feel quiet yet not entirely calm. It is more of a ho-hum feeling. At those times, recognize that it’s time for a refill. A refill of love. A refill of clarity. A refill of bliss. Ask your spiritual self to fill you up again. Take a deep breath and allow your soul to fill your body up. Soak in the rejuvenating bliss for a minute and feel your body brighten up again. You can feel lighter and brighter anytime you want to. Just ask for a refill.

  • Learning and Teaching

    What follows is an excerpt from my book Bliss Or Bust: Uplifting Thoughts.

    Life is a continuous journey of learning and teaching. Do it again. Do it again. Do it again. You will know when it’s time to move on and learn something new.

    Learn-able material is everywhere. Teachers are everywhere. You can learn from everyone who enters your space, no matter their age or experience.

    Self-reflection is integral to the learning process. We are all mirrors for each other while exploring and learning. Instead of resisting, enjoy the process.

    Be an eternal student eager to learn more about what you want to create. Teach through your ability to hold a high vibration and fearlessly create your life story. Teach by answering when asked. Be generous with your knowledge, information, and positive energy.

  • Lots to Appreciate

    What follows is an excerpt from my book Bliss Or Bust: Uplifting Thoughts.

    The smile from a loved one, the hello from a stranger, the butterfly in the flowers, sharing a giggle with a friend, the peace that comes as you open your heart to light and love: these are beautiful moments in life.

    The power and precision of the vehicle you ride in, the architecture around you, the ease of getting the supplies you need, the magic in perfect timing: these are things to appreciate.

    The beauty of service, the ease with which your body works, the stars floating in the sky: these are miracles.

    There is much to appreciate all around you. Look for more.

  • Key Distinctions

    What follows is an excerpt from my book Bliss Or Bust: Uplifting Thoughts.

    Personal development is an ever-evolving process of making more and better distinctions about who you are and what you want. Life is about choices and those choices accumulate to define the path of your life’s journey. You choose again and again as a normal part of daily life.

    You may not realize it, but you can even make choices each day about how you want to feel. Clarity about how you want to feel will assist you tremendously in making satisfying choices with near-perfect consistency on a day-to-day basis.

    If you decide to do something, then find yourself there unhappy, it’s good to redirect your thoughts. Find something to appreciate. Maybe the only thing to enjoy about it is that you are doing what you decided to do. You are being true to your word and previous intentions for yourself. That feels good. Focus there while you decide what you want next.
