Use Existing Skills First, then Build on Them
Post Written By Eugene Morgan Instead of us worrying about the things we can’t do, lets us do the things we can do. There is no reason we shouldn’t do the things we can be doing to get ahead. If we already have existing skills, why not use them. With a new project, a good […]
When it’s time to Retreat
Post Written By Eugene Morgan It is time to retreat, when we’ve been working on something for a long time. It is time to retreat, when things seem overwhelming. It is time to retreat, when we begin to make too many mistakes. It is time to retreat, when we are only running on fumes. It […]
Be A Listener
Post Written By Eugene Morgan We don’t have to win an argument or have the last word to feel good about ourselves. We don’t even have to always be right about something to feel good. But there will come a time when we’ll be right, but even in those times, we can be silent. We […]
Rewards And Encouragements
Post Written By Eugene Morgan Have we rewarded ourselves, lately or said a word of encouragement to ourselves? When we complete a task, do we reward ourselves? A reward can be an encouragement to us. It’s all right to buy something nice for our hard work. Sometimes we just need encouragement from ourselves or from […]
Be In The Trenches
Post Written By Eugene Morgan When anticipating on how difficult a task will be, it’s harder to start and complete it. But when we do start on the task and keep our attention focus on the task at hand, there are usually no doubting and/or nagging thoughts about the tasks itself. In other words, when […]
Uniqueness Brings Richness To A Community
Post Written By Eugene Morgan No one knows what we want in life. We know what are wants, desires and wishes are. What one desires is not always the same as another person’s desires. Each one of us comes with unique perspectives. No person is exactly the same as another person. Everyone of us has […]
When We Don’t Feel Like It
Post Written By Eugene Morgan We don’t have to be a slave to our feelings, because feelings come, and they go. Feelings don’t stick around very long. We can’t always rely on our feelings to motivate us. We know from our personal experiences; that, if we wait for a feeling to motivate us, we will […]
Prepare to Risk, and Risk to Prepare
Post Written By Eugene Morgan Taking a risk is not always easy to do, especially, if it may cost us something. It’s a lot riskier to not take a risk than to a take one, because, we might lose out on opportunities that might exist. We can still make preparation before we take a risk. […]
Every Little Thing We Do Helps
Post Written By Eugene Morgan We ought not to take for granted the little things we do. The little things we do can make the difference. Sometimes we are too quick to get to the meat of the problem when only we need to do is redirect or slightly change it. Little things are also […]
Be Resilient like Children
Post Written By Eugene Morgan Kids are resilient when it comes to recovery from a major injury. Although children may have a cast on from a fractured ankle or a broken arm, they ignore or forget this fact, and continue on painting, drawing, and running around in the yard. A fractured angle or a broken […]
Changes Occur Within Us
Post Written By Eugene Morgan Change has to be done by us. No one can make change occur within us. We bear the burden of responsibility to cause change within. We have to decide what we want changed in our lives. When we commit to changing ourselves, we’re not giving away our power. We need […]
Do you see it as a problem or Do you see it as Feedback?
Post Written By Eugene Morgan Problem is only a feedback telling us to look at it differently. It stays a problem as long as we see it as one. When we begin to look at the problem differently we begin to readjust our behavior. When our behavior is readjusted, also the reaction from others will […]
A Preoccupied Attention makes Time move Faster
Post Written By Eugene Morgan When we put in the hard work, we expect to see quick results. We don’t have to wait on results when results take time. We can develop other projects while waiting for results to happen. The old idiom, “A watched pot never boils.” We might as well get the dinner […]
Choose to Use Your Capacity To make Life Fulfilling
Post Written By Eugene Morgan Sometimes we have a tendency to forget about our unused capacity. We forget that we have the capacity to learn and to do new things. We also forget that learning our native language was difficult. Learning to do all the things we’ve learned as children we now take for granted […]
