Waking Up In The Morning
Post Written By Eugene Morgan When we wake up in the morning and we’re able to get out of bed, then we have another opportunity to take on the day. Some days are more challenging than other days, but we do live through them. Each day we receive is an opportunity to contribute to the […]
Seeking Self
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “What you seek is seeking you.” ~Rumi When we look for opportunities, we will find opportunities. It is no coincidence that we happen to stumble upon something we wanted and desired. We are then narrowing our search for that one thing; as a result, we exclude everything else, when our […]
Free From Biases
Post Written By Eugene Morgan We are really not free from all our biases. But if we want to carry out many things in our lives, it is better to challenge our biases.

Carrying Away Small Stones
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “The man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.” ― Confucius Everything big started small.

Happiness is Not Ready Made
Post Written By Eugene Morgan Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions. ~ Dalai Lama Happiness is a state of mind but to get to that state action is required.

Simple
Post Written By Eugene Morgan When things get complicated in our lives, then it is time for us to simplify. If we take small portions of our complicated life one at a time, then it would be a lot easier to manage the rest of our lives. Simplification also means to put things in order. […]
Collecting Facts
Post Written By Eugene Morgan Observation is about collecting facts about others, the world and us. Sometimes, we get a skewed belief about ourselves that is incomplete. We need to learn to look closely at ourselves so we can admire ourselves when we see things we like about ourselves and accept things we dislike about […]
Seeing Future Possibilities
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “The future belongs to those who see possibilities before they become obvious.” ~ John Scully Seeing what’s possible in our future is really about having a mind set. Our mind set is about looking for what is possible for us not so much for humanity in general. We know are […]
Break A Record
Post Written By Eugene Morgan Adversity causes some men to break; others to break records. ~ William Arthur Ward We all have experienced adversities in our lives. Some of us have experienced more adversities than others. It is hard to cope with adversity alone. But, we can band together to help one another, especially, when […]
Producing Value Is a Purpose
Post Written By Eugene Morgan Some of us aren’t self-starters. We need someone to push us a little to produce action. If we are a sole person working on a project, it is easy to procrastinate, create distractions. But if we tell another what we’re doing and to have it done a specific time, then […]
Start Making Mistakes
Post Written By Eugene Morgan Sometimes we are afraid to do something new because we’re afraid that we might make a mistake. But this is how we learn is by making mistakes. So it is all right to make mistakes. We don’t have to be perfect at our first attempt or even at our 20th […]
Developing a Routine
Post Written By Eugene Morgan It is good to develop a routine when we are learning something new. When learning something foreign or unfamiliar to us, or that seems chaotic to us, then it is a good idea to learn the ropes of that task or tasks, and add or develop them into a routine. […]
Preparation and Organization
Post Written By Eugene Morgan How come we make things harder than what they are? We make things harder for us because we don’t make the proper preparations, or we don’t want to do take the extra time to keep things organized. Preparation entails getting everything we need to start a project and organization keeps […]
Life Is Our Teacher
Post Written By Eugene Morgan The mistakes we’ve made are opportunities for us to learn something about ourselves. Life is full of lessons to be learned. If we haven’t learned our lessons, then we will repeat the same mistakes until the lessons are learned. Lessons aren’t meant for punishment but for enlightenment about ourselves. Learning […]
Look Within
Post Written By Eugene Morgan If we want to find out what we want in life, look within. Our desires, wishes and wants are what determines our destination not someone’s wants and desires that they want us to be. It is all right to get some guidance from others but we must find what we’re looking for […]
An Idea
Post Written By Eugene Morgan An idea can change how we look at things. An idea can be powerful when it becomes real. An idea can move a mountain if we let it. An idea is invisible but it can make legs walk and make a mouth talk. An idea can illuminate a dark well. […]
Curiosity And Learning
By Eugene Morgan Curiosity is the beginning of learning. Curiosity holds our attention long enough to learn something and remember what we have learned. And learning should be fun. Our neurons in our brain can only take enough dry facts before they get fatigued. Our brain needs constant stimulation, which means we’re always looking for […]
Go With All Your Heart
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “Wherever you go, go with all your heart.” ― Confucius When we put in the effort, we experience a feeling of satisfaction.
