    I think one of the greatest judgments to place on an experience is:  “that’s the best thing that ever happened to me.”   Of course you could argue whether that’s true or false, but consistently stating that to myself primes my perception to accept/find/utilize any lessons within the experience that turns my mantra from belief into…

    It is possible, I believe, to re-program the subconscious by consistently recognizing an undesirable/reactive thought pattern, then deliberately countering it with a desirable one, which will eventually replace its obsolete predecessor. In this way, I believe one can destroy the collection of beliefs/tendencies that could roughly define the”self” or “ego” and turn a negative self-image…

    Whether it’s magic or science, psychologists, mentalists, and doctors have proven that belief and self-image is a tangible force; it can heal the body, create and destroy fortunes, and open the mind to unseen opportunities.  Stay in the realm of what viscerally feels “realistic,” but reach for improvement as often as possible.  Don’t be afraid…

    I believe there’s usually a way (maybe always a way) to have the time of my life with whatever I’m doing. When thoughts creep in about how much better someone else has it, I remind myself that people can be absolutely miserable in the lap of luxury. The real treasure is focusing on how good I…

    I believe there’s usually a way (maybe always a way) to have the time of my life, regardless of what’s happening.  When thoughts creep in about how much more fun others are having, I remind myself that people can be miserable in the lap of luxury. The real treasure is focusing on how good I…

    “What is comfortable in the long term?” Consistently asking that will lessen the need for willpower and encourage effective action.  Focusing on long-term benefits is a good way to lessen cravings and be at ease with my personal burdens.

    Learn to enjoy the necessity (think of it as a contract you signed, an existential choice if you can) and it will become less of a prison and more of an adventure.  Your mind will see less restrictions.  And in their place, more options.
