How to find yourself

So, you do know that you are right there all the time, right?  Just checking.  All humor aside, although it can get drowned out in all the daily ‘doing’ that we go through and all the constant chatter from everywhere.  In fact a huge portion of our lives seems to be sorting through the trivial…

Fathers

Being a father is no easy task and in my lifetime the media seems to be full of stories where fathers either don’t exist, are ‘deadbeats’, abusive, absentee, or derided as stay-at-home.  There doesn’t seem to be anything good to say about Fathers unless you’re talking to someone about ‘family values’ and then you’re not…

Your life is a work of art

Everything you do each day paints a picture of you for you to view.  Others can see you as well.  Like looking at one section of a great painting they may only see the background or a bird’s wing or the side of the building they may not understand completely but still they see it. …

Change

Our lives are so full of input, experience, constant bombardment.  Some of this is good, some neutral, some bad.  We seem to spend our lives pushing through the neutral and the bad reaching for some small part of good and inside is an entire symphony of thought and emotion and being all moving a swirling…

Feeling Alone

Few people want to feel alone or lonely.  Even if you are independent and like to take charge, do things on your own, or work in the quiet that doing solitary things provides, you feel better when there are people who understand you and appreciate you. We all need people who see us and like…

What will you be when you grow up?

I know, it’s a trite phrase.  But when you are looking for your life purpose, it’s valid.  I understand that none of us wants to grow up, meaning that we don’t want to stop having fun, enjoying life, or to be responsible for the not so fun stuff.  Lord knows I don’t want to either.…

Fear of Success

Sounds crazy, right?  Who would be afraid of changing their life for the better? Of being successful in what they want to do? But its the truth and the old adage is correct.  Most people prefer ‘the Devil you know’ to whatever is out there that they don’t know.  Because what they don’t know could…

Trust yourself

I know, I know.  Sounds like all the self-help books out there.  Well, sometimes the self-help books have the right idea.  Here’s the thing, though.  Trusting yourself really means trusting Yourself.  Not all the things that your family and your friends have told you, not the things that social media teaches you, not the things…

Are you lost?

I love my android not only for the fun apps and the good sound quality I get, but mostly I love it for the GPS.  I just got back from a road trip to California where I had to use the back roads to get from Hwy 101 to I-5.  I had instructions from friends…
