Denial is a defense mechanism that is very helpful in terms of reducing our anxiety by removing unpleasant thoughts from our mind. Our subconscious mind stores the truths about ourselves and keeps them from our conscious mind, thinking it is protecting us. To some degree it is. But when denial is used excessively, then it becomes a negative force in your life that leads to self-sabotaging behaviors. So it is important to hold a mirror up to yourself and look at the truth of who you are so that you can make wise decisions going forward that will lead to health, happiness, and sustainable, satisfying relationships.

Your thoughts are powerful. If your thoughts are full of judgment, fear, anger, resentment, etc., then you are contributing to the aggression, violence and war in the world. If your thoughts are full of acceptance, compassion and forgiveness, then you are contributing to a peaceful, loving, supportive, healing world. So the point is to replace negative thoughts with positive thoughts in order to heal and improve yourself and the world.

Stop beating yourself up. Stop putting yourself down and calling yourself names. Stop telling yourself you're a loser. Stop telling yourself it can't be done. Stop telling yourself to give up because nothing will ever work out. So tell that Inner Critic of yours to SHUT UP! AND THEN: Love yourself. Value yourself. Build yourself up. Remind yourself of your good qualities and talents.

Live life boldly. That is the lesson. No matter what hand you are dealt, you have a choice as to how you play it. Play your hands strongly and confidently, regardless of how good or bad they may be. This can make all the difference in your success.

The Law of Attraction works whether we fuel it with positive thoughts or negative thoughts. If we fuel it with positive thoughts, then we are more likely to attract positive outcomes.

There is always a trigger that sets a panic attack into motion. It can be a conscious trigger. Somebody says something about their job and this brings up anxiety and fear about your own job, and then the panic sets in. Oftentimes, the trigger is unconscious so what you want to do is try to bring the unconscious fear, conflict, ambivalence, whatever it might be, to your awareness by looking at what's going on in your life and honestly considering aspects that are unsatisfying which may be generating the anxiety and panic.

Acceptance of the way of things is key. Acceptance that everything changes, leaves fall off trees, people get old, fall apart and die. To dwell on what you can't change and fill your mind with anger, depression, anxiety, regret, jealousy or any number of other negative emotions is to ruin the time that you have here. Shut down your thoughts when they want to go dark on you. Count your blessings. Be in the present moment, enjoying as much as you can. Try to take care of your mind and body as best you can.

Manifest the reality you desire. Create the life you want. How? Focus your positive energy, your affirmations, and your visualizations on the life you want to have, as if you already have it, as if it is already a reality. And your subconscious mind will do the work to attract the people, places and circumstances to make it happen. This is not magical thinking.This is the science of mind. It takes discipline, practice and persistence. It works if you work it. And then you will be the director and the star of your life story. #realitymanifestation #alltheworldsastage

When somebody behaves badly, you can perceive them as an awful human being who is attacking you or you can choose to change your perspective and see that person differently. You can see somebody who is in emotional pain and is calling out for love by attacking you. It's very bizarre but that is what is going on. These people are so unhappy and there is so much self-loathing within them, so they project all of that self-loathing onto others and attack others but what they really want is to be loved and validated and appreciated. But they don't know how to express those needs in a healthy way, so it comes out very dysfunctional and oftentimes toxic. It is extremely difficult to love, validate and appreciate somebody who is being toxic to you, but if you are able to rise above the battlefield, so to speak, and see a loving person needing love, despite how badly they are behaving, and you can extend love and compassion, that can be a very healing moment for both of you. By doing this, you are not negating the wrong that they have done and you are not enabling it or condoning it, you are not suggesting that there should not be consequences of bad actions. You are just choosing to respond in a compassionate and loving way. If you are angry and hateful towards somebody who is calling out for Love, you are just reinforcing the problem. If you can surprise them and yourself by responding with compassion and generosity of spirit, you are the solution.

People think they can't control the thoughts in their heads and the feelings that follow from those thoughts. This isn't true. We make ourselves victims of our thoughts when we have the power to think whatever we want, despite how we feel. We disempower ourselves by believing we have this limitation of being unable to control our thoughts. It takes time, patience and discipline to train your mind so that you control your thoughts rather than being controlled by them. You want to improve your life? Stop believing you are powerless over your thoughts and feelings.

The 25th Amendment wasn't created for laughs. It was created to preserve the Union. To ensure that if a President becomes incompetent, he is removed from power so as not to make decisions that could be harmful to the United States and its Citizens. The 25th Amendment is paralyzed by each party wanting to retain power and being unwilling to shed any light on the competency of the President because of the desire to retain power. The welfare and well-being of the American people and our constitutional system of government depends upon the checks and balances built into the system being applied when necessary. So it seems the government has to figure out a way to activate the 25th Amendment in a bi-partisan fashion, when necessary, so the American people can feel safe with the person behind the wheel driving our country.

Brain rot is the process of scrolling endlessly through social media and clicking on all sorts of stuff that amuses you or gets your attention in some other way but is just empty calories. It doesn't make you smarter or wiser. It just wastes your time that could be put to better use. Plus, when you don't exercise your muscles, they get flabby. So you need to exercise your brain "muscle" with social media content that challenges you in some way, so you don't get a flabby brain. Trust me: flabby brains are not fun to live with.

There are a lot of bad guys running the world. There are a lot of instances where it seems very clear that crime does pay. People are above the law. Justice is a figment of our imagination. Women love bad boys. We're not in Bedford Falls anymore. Does righteousness matter anymore? Does goodness have a place in our society anymore? Does truth matter? It should. We should look at the coming year and the rest of our lives, and contemplate how we want to live it, what we want to stand for, what we want to teach our children, what we want our legacy to be. Hopefully you will make the right choice and recognize that bad is bad and good is good. And that's that.

Being selfish is human nature. Having an ego which drives us to accomplish things in life, our self-interest tends to be paramount. And rightfully so. If we don't look out for ourselves, perhaps nobody will. But if we don't look out for others, what are we? Get out of yourself. Get out of your ego. Give generously to others in every way possible. Be of service to others as best you can. Ironically, the more you give, the better you will feel about yourself. There are some who say that the more you give, the more you will receive. In the movie, "It's A Wonderful Life" there is a quote from Peter Bailey: "All you can take with you is what you have given away."

As a lifelong Democrat, until recently, I think I am entitled to say that the Democratic Party has sunk to sociopathic levels with all the things they have done to our country and to its people over the last many years. The censorship. The lies. The corruption. The open borders. The lawlessness. The DEI/wokeness. It's all been contrary to common sense. It's all been evil disguised as good intentions. It's terribly sad that what was once, theoretically, a virtuous party, has become a party of fascism and corruption, masquerading as the good guys, and using the mainstream media to fool, brainwash and indoctrinate citizens to go along with policies that are not in their best interests but rather in the best interests of an elite, powerful, rich minority of individuals. It would be great if the party could resuscitate itself but I don't think that's possible. The brand has been destroyed. It needs to form a new party composed of ethical people in leadership roles. And while we're at it, we should add a few other parties as well. The two-party system has failed us.

Sadly, some people are depressed and unhappy during the holidays. For some, the holidays are anniversaries of major losses in their lives. For others, the holidays remind them what others have that they don't have. If you are one of these people, try to stay positive. Try not to dwell on your losses or what you don't have. Try to be grateful for what you do have despite what you don't have. Sometimes when we offer acts of kindness to others, when we help others, it gets us out of ourselves, out of our own problems and we feel better. Immerse yourself in joyful activities. Watch fun tv shows and movies. Watch "It's A Wonderful Life" or "A Christmas Carol" or the original "Die Hard" which some people think is the greatest Christmas movie ever. LOL. Be of good cheer. May the coming year bring blessings. Peace and love to you all!

Fighting does not tend to be unifying. Our job is to find ways to get along, not to fight. To challenge ideas we disagree with, not judge and emotionally assault people who don't want the same things we do. Democrats do not need to continue to fight. Now is the time to heal. Now is the time to try to find common ground. Now is the time to try to work together.

It wouldn't hurt and it could help if you spent a few minutes contemplating the meaning of life. Why are we here? Is it all a simple twist of fate and molecules?
Or do we have a purpose? Perhaps a divine purpose. Perhaps a soul purpose. Perhaps no purpose but to embrace the senses. Could that be?
Or are we here to learn about love and forgiveness? Are we here to embrace rage and vengeance, and grok how that feels?
Are we here to discover the value of good and evil? To elevate our consciousness? To serve our fellow travelers? To discover the true meaning of grace, gratitude and charity?
Do this exercise without judgment or expectation. You may discover surprising things about yourself. These ideas and the feelings they evoke may guide your future choices in unexpected ways. -
Robert De Niro was an extremely vocal Trump hater. I don't have a problem with that. People are entitled to hate whoever they want to hate. But the thing is, our country does need to unify. Our country needs to stop being so judgmental and polarized.
Robert De Niro could be a major force for good. He could help our country heal. He could help bring people together by saying something like this: "Despite hating Trump and thinking he is the worst president we could ever have, he is our president. We need to unify behind him, and we have to hope that he will do good things for all of us. And that is why I am giving him my support and encourage other people to do so as well."
Step up, Bobby. I'm talking to you. Do the right thing. - Laat meer zien
