How To Change Some Common Attitudes

These are some simple ways I made changes to my attitude on topics like business, relationships, friendship, mission, commitment, money, credibility, being successful, attractive, loved and being a good parent.

Once I realized how much better it felt to shift my attitude slightly like this, there was no going back … just forward, to the life of my dreams!

Real Freedom

I HAVE A LIFE OF TOTAL & UTTER FREEDOM …No commitments!No obligations!No responsibilities!“But they aren’t the ingredients of real freedom!”

.

REAL FREEDOM is when I can make a commitment to a relationship and remember I’m free to focus on whatever aspects of the other person I choose and feel really good, no matter how they’re behaving.

REAL FREEDOM is when I can feel obligation to do work that may have lost it’s inner appeal but still know I’m free to focus on acknowledging the incredible ...

What To Do When Something Happens

There are three ways I can respond to situations.

As if things just happen and my response to them is out of my control.As if things just happen and my response to them is based on how other people think I should respond, on how other people have responded in the past, on what society thinks is the “appropriate” response in each situation.As if things just happen and I can choose what I will focus on, I can influence the way I respond, I decide what it all means, I mold my own beliefs and cre...

I Love Because It’s Who I Am

When I expect something in return for the love I give … then it isn’t really love at all — it’s manipulation.

Instead, I love because it’s who I am, because it makes me feel good, because it’s an expression of my innermost divine essence.

The BEST Questions To Ask Yourself

Hey, COME AND PLAY THIS GAME WITH ME!

Do you have a bad habit of questioning your decisions or thinking worrying thoughts about yourself or your life? I know I sometimes catch myself saying, “What’s the point!” OR “How on earth am I going to get this thing that I want!”

Just lately I’ve been wondering if I’m going to create enough sustainable income by doing what I love to do (which is playing leading-edge games that help me feel good, building successful websites, taking beautiful photos, writ...

I Have A Selective Memory

I have a selective memory for the things that bring me joy, for the feelings that still my mind, for the words that brighten my day, for the beauty that makes me smile, for the peace that warms my soul and for the love that fills my heart … You know that disagreement we had yesterday? I can’t even remember what it was about. My selective memory sorted that all out!

P.S. Isn’t it nice to be with someone who remembers who you are when you’re at your best and let’s the less desirable aspects be put...

I’m Speaking Less and Enjoying More

Sometimes I catch myself wanting to wedge my words of wisdom into a conversation, but words are wasted unless the other person is ready and open to receiving them. Giving unsolicited advice is like cooking meat for a vegetarian – useless and even potentially harmful.

I’m glad I’m getting better at maintaining silence, allowing other people to peacefully go their own way and it empowers me to stay firmly grounded in the beliefs that serve me the most too.

I’M SPEAKING LESS … and ENJOYING more.

My Intentions Are Powerful

I INTEND TO KEEP BEING …

insanely happy, ridiculously prosperous,

delightfully free, absurdly light hearted,

expansively loving and intoxicatingly crazy …

Woo hoo!

… and to declare the other details of my life

to be completely, totally and utterly irrelevant to it all.

When You’re Not Sure What Someone Else Thinks

WHAT SOMEONE ELSE THINKS IS NONE OF MY BUSINESS

When I focus on being true to myself, thinking happy thoughts, having uplifting conversations and doing the things I am most inspired to do, there is no need to ask questions about what someone else might be doing, thinking or feeling.

What I AM thinking and feeling is the only thing that I can ever be certain of and is the only thing that ever really matters.
