Articulate Gratitude

If you get a second chance after a traumatic period in life, or a third chance after making too many mistakes, or a fourth chance after a lot of heartache, those are real reasons to be grateful for. Sometimes they aren’t easy to put in words, because those experiences are monumental and rich in emotion,Continue reading “Articulate Gratitude”

Focus On Growing, Not On What Is Falling To Pieces

Engage with the positive. Praise it, so it can grow. Disengage from the negative. Question it, and celebrate the end of it – in style. Don’t give too much attention to it, though. Simply withdraw your support to it, to the best of your ability. But let them know from time to time that notContinue reading “Focus On Growing, Not On What Is Falling To Pieces”

Role Models: Find Them In Your Best Experiences

The free and loving change the world, by their example. At times it is enough to witness one person’s unwillingness to participate in toxic settings or in toxic ideologies to change your mind and do the same. At other times the love that moves towards you will give you the courage to act with loveContinue reading “Role Models: Find Them In Your Best Experiences”

Sanity In Relationships and In Life

Sanity is a great good. Sanity is very underrated too. Given the choice between “being swept away” and sanity, choose sanity. Because good love only finds you when you are sane. While in an imbalanced state, the affair that will find you might soothe you, or appear to be what you want, even distract youContinue reading “Sanity In Relationships and In Life”

You Can Recreate Yourself Without Drama

You don’t need a heated argument with your significant other or those you love the most, you don’t need a heavy clash with your colleague, you don’t need to lose all your possessions or your health to live in an exciting though sober way. Give yourself permission to make your dream come true. No sacrifice to peaceContinue reading “You Can Recreate Yourself Without Drama”

A Thread Throughout Time: True Family

There is a spiritual lineage and a creative lineage. The former are the people who influenced your spiritual path, the latter the people who influenced your sense of style and the content of your creativity. I used to think that the choice was purely instinctual, as the song goes, “It don’t mean a thing, ifContinue reading “A Thread Throughout Time: True Family”

Medicine to My Heart

I am happy to share that the Innovation on Medium has published a piece I wrote in summer 2015. This piece was dear to my heart. I wrote it on the way back from the Great Lakes in Ontario. The Great Lakes were as lovely and restorative as the disappointment I was recovering from wasContinue reading “Medicine to My Heart”

The Magnetic Force – And Where It Is Moving You

May the love you feel within you draw you to your purpose – every single day. May it balance all the relationships you are growing and weed out situations that are no longer viable. Open your mind to all your attractions, even the unconscious ones. Can you detect a common ground in them? A patternContinue reading “The Magnetic Force – And Where It Is Moving You”

What Is On Your Radar?

If you put what you want on your radar, you will notice it when it appears before you. If you prioritize what you want over other preferences and habitual preferences – and are consequent about it and give yourself no excuse to “miss” and ignore it – what you want will enter your field ofContinue reading “What Is On Your Radar?”

Sounds Of the Living

The difference between the developing and the developed world is that in the developing world you can always hear old men shout somewhere in the background, and dogs bark, whereas in the developed world, you don’t hear a peep from old men and dogs are safely hidden away, and that in the developed world adultContinue reading “Sounds Of the Living”

Unconditional Love

Not only does it exist. You are being given unconditional love right now. It is coming from Gaia. And from your dog, if you have one. Look no further – every other love is conditional. Notice and maintain the source of unconditional love, so it can be and do what it does and support life,Continue reading “Unconditional Love”

Mudita

Mudita is a Buddhist term for sympathetic joy and a practice that lets people feel connected with each other. Relationship research of the last half decade confirms that it is the major component to making bonds last, while ambivalence to the other person’s success, advancing and good fortune disintegrates a relationship. In short, people whoContinue reading “Mudita”

Alpha State Of Mind

You don’t create from inner noise and distraction. (You can think thoughts in that space, but they will be based on suggestion, imitation, and the mind making sense of the outer reality.) You create from the quiet place within. The ideas that arrive into the quiet are gold, and they are new. When you becomeContinue reading “Alpha State Of Mind”
