Focus On What You Want

See the world as being filled with positive potential. Focus your attention on your intention and make that potential a reality in your life.

Most people spend a lot of their time complaining about things they don’t want or don’t have, only to wonder why their life stays exactly the same.

Walk Away

Choose your battles wisely. Unless you have a very high chance of victory, spare your energy and walk away.

Don’t Keep Score

The Law of the Present Moment

Time does not exist. What we refer to as past and future, have no reality except in our own mental constructs. The idea of time is a convention of thought and language, a social agreement. In truth, we only have this moment. When we hold regret for an occurrence in the past we keep the regret alive with pictures and feelings we conjure up. When we feel anxiety about the future, we keep the anxiety alive with the pictures we imagine. Time is the abstract concept. When we practice remembering that the here and now is all we have, our present moments improve.
