Welcome to this exploration of how we create our own reality. I'm excited to dive into this topic with you and have some fun exploring how we can dance with our own creations.

Victim Mentality 

Have you ever felt like you were the victim of life's circumstances? Like you were at the mercy of the world around you? Many of us have experienced this feeling of powerlessness, but what if I told you that it's just an interpretation of our experience, not the reality of our lives?

When we investigat…

The purpose of this inquiry, is for us to see how our experience is created from the inside out, rather than the outside in. The common assumption is that I’m experiencing something ‘out there,’ or I’m experiencing an aspect of reality that I’m separate from. This assumption, proclaims (in some way) that I’m a victim of circumstance. This goes both ways, for both positive and negative experiences. The assumption is… my experience is positive or negative, because of what’s happening ‘out ther…

Have you ever wanted to take a risk or try something new, but found yourself stuck in a rut, unable to take action? We’ve all been there. Fear, self-doubt, and other limiting beliefs can hold us back from pursuing our dreams and living the life we truly want.

In this blog post, we’ll explore the top five BS excuses that hold us back and how we might overcome them with a little more self-awareness. Let’s do it!

1. Fear of Failure – Excuse

"What if it doesn't work out?"

The point isn't whether it d…

Why do people do what they do?

Why do people do what they do? For the same reason you do what you do. What do people want, and what do they fear? Well, they want the same thing you want, and they fear the same thing you fear. However, we all tell different stories about it. When we get lost in believing these stories, things get complicated.

There’s an opportunity here to deeply understand others through understanding yourself. A powerful approach to this, is to understand that when you …

One of the great restrictions I've experienced is the concern about what other people think of me. It's quite remarkable to consider how this concern has limited my ability to truly enjoy my life. I have spent many moments trying to avoid the opinions of others, or expending mental energy to devise strategies on how to make others like or approve of me. All the while, I was completely unaware of how futile and impossible this activity was.

Yes, within the human experience, there seems to be t…

Is Suffering really an illusion?

• Is suffering an illusion if the person who is suffering - is also an illusion?
• If a character in a movie is suffering, is their suffering an illusion?
• If I suffer in my dream as I sleep, and I’m suffering over something that’s not really happening, is that suffering an illusion?
• In my dream as I sleep, am “I” suffering? Or, is the character of me in the dream suffering?

For those solopreneurs out there, running a service-based business, a big question people often ask is “How much should I charge for the service I provide?” However, this "should" misses the real point and opportunity when it comes to determining the value of your time and what you have to offer.

A better question to ask is “For me to do what I love to do, and do it well, how much do I need to charge?” Ultimately, it's about what's practical. It doesn't matter what you charge because there ar…

How do you communicate something that is beyond words? Simple, you use words as a pointer, telling a story that might inspire someone to see or experience what words cannot touch. Heaven and Hell are just that, stories that point to something that is beyond words. However, human beings, with their adorable obsession with clinging to stories, miss the message almost entirely and get lost in the mind's content.

The initial dilemma here, that makes it unnecessarily complicated, is looking for …
