Earlier this year I wrote about my intention not to do things that suck :). My “No More Suckiness” Philosophy resulted from life experiences that really sucked. After all the confusion, lack of clarity, and unhappiness created by not checking in with how things felt for me, the “No More Suckiness” commitment is a comical […]

This worked last week, so I’m gonna try it again. Here’s a quote from “The Vortex,” by Esther and Jerry Hicks: A belief is only a thought that you keep thinking–it is only the beliefs that you hold that keep you from the things that you want. The Vortex, p221 Discuss: I have heard Abraham […]
This is from “The Vortex,” a book by Esther and Jerry Hicks: Whenever you criticize, or push against, anything, you hold yourself outside of your Vortex. Flawed premises hold people outside of their Vortices of abundance and prevent them from the ease and Well-Being that they deserve. You cannot “criticize yourself ” to success. You […]
I have an ongoing preoccupation with the “aligned-ness” of my thoughts. That is, I think a lot about how my thoughts feel to me.

It’s been […]

I’m still in the first part of it, where Schwarzenegger is still establishing his career. I am enjoying it very much, particularly Schwarzenegger’s focus and positivity as he goes about […]

Stumbling My Way To Clarity
In the past, when I heard about highly successful people and their ideas, a curious thing often happened. I was constantly studying success because I believed it would help me be happy and, of course, successful. I was often genuinely inspired by the examples and ideas I learned about. However, very often, though I was […]
This morning at the cafe I was writing about yesterday’s triumphant running experience which, to summarize, was my third time running 20 miles, yet my first truly satisfying 20-mile running experience. As I sat there writing, the following thought occurred to me: You are seeing the inescapable fact of progress towards what matters to you […]
A couple of days ago, my mom, a writer herself, made a nice comment on one of my early posts (You can look at it here , yes the post, and my mom’s comment at the bottom). Along with feeling appreciative for a comment (yes, even from my mom! It’s my first comment since starting […]
