Post Written By Eugene Morgan “Our strength grows out of our weaknesses.”— Ralph Waldo Emerson The quote above sounds so profound. It is like a paradox.

Life As It Is

See the Good In Others
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “When you choose to see the good in others, you end up finding the good in yourself.”— Unknown We can see the good in others if we look for it. It’s easy to see the bad in others if we disagree with them or if they look different than us […]
On Loving Yourself
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “Focus on loving yourself instead of loving the idea of other people loving you.”— Unknown We so much want approval from another person that we forget that we are a person. How come we think that having self-approval is not enough? It only takes one person to believe in us […]
Freedom of the Mind
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “I know but one freedom and that is the freedom of the mind.”— Antoine de Saint-Exupery When we’re given the opportunity to inform or educate ourselves, we’re given ourselves the opportunity to be freer. We no longer have to be kept in the dark instead, we can reeducate ourselves when […]
Cherish What We Already Have
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “Prosperity depends more on wanting what you have than having what you want.”— Geoffrey F. Abert We want more, because we stopped wanting more of what we already have. If we focused on what we already have, then there will be no need for looking elsewhere for more. When we […]
Good Intentions
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “The best way to keep good intentions from dying is to execute them.”— Unknown Having good intentions is like moving aimlessly without direction. Good intentions are only that— intentions. Good intentions are just thoughts in our heads. Good intentions are only to make the person who’s making them feel good about […]
The Pilot of Our Time
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot.”— Michael Altshuler We don’t want it to end when time flies because time flies when we’re having fun. Most of the time when we’re having fun is when we’re the pilots of our lives. We can decide […]
Certain Degree Of Trust
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.”-— Ernest Hemingway When we say we don’t trust somebody, we have a tendency to look for evidence that is true that the person is untrustworthy. We want it to be true so we can avoid […]
An Interesting Freedom
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “When you are not attached to praise or criticism, an interesting freedom is yours.”— Kute Blackson Getting praises can be motivating, however we later feel that we have to meet someone else’s expectation. When getting criticisms, we feel exposed and want to withdraw from the pain it we may cause. But if […]
Doing What We’re Good At
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.”— John Wooden When we say we cannot do something, we’re making a hasty generalization about everything else including the things we know we can do. It also prevents us from doing the things we know we can do. […]
Today’s Spotless Future
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “Whatever the past has been, you have a spotless future.”— Unknown It is nice to know that tomorrow is a gift to make things right with ourselves and with people in our lives. Sometimes we find ourselves feeling guilty when we look at our past transgressions never forgiving ourselves. Our […]
No Matter How Small
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “Look at what you’ve got and make the best of it. It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.”— Proverb Because we have a desire for something doesn’t mean we need it. We can lose interest when we cease desiring something. So we don’t have to […]
The Goodness Within
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “You do not become good by trying to be good, but by finding the goodness that is already within you.”— Eckhart Tolle If we want to be good, we’re inferring that we only have a dark side. However, we have a good side and a dark side. It is better […]
Together We’re Stronger
Post Written By Eugene Morgan We can only do our best and sometimes our best isn’t good enough. And that’s okay. We all have different levels of growth. No ones’ path is the same. Although we each have to trek through our journey alone, we can trek through our journey together alone. So we don’t have […]
Call It Wonder and Freedom
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “Don’t call it uncertainty—call it wonder. Don’t call it insecurity—call it freedom.”— Osho When we call it uncertainty, our anxiety increases. However, if we call it wonder, our curiosity about things increase. When we call it insecurity, our doubts about ourselves increase. However, if we call it freedom, then our […]
Don’t Be Afraid To Live
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “Don’t be afraid of death; be afraid of a unlived life. You don’t have to live forever; you just have to live.”— Natalie Babbitt Sometimes we get afraid of death not so much because of the unknown but because of the unknown of living. Death is part of the natural order […]
Love is Love
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “The most important thing in this world is to learn to give out love and let it come in.”— Morrie Schwartz Love accepts self and then others. Love grabs our attention, especially our hearts. Love allows others in our hearts. Love welcomes. Love is blind. Love accepts those who are […]
Practice Stress or Practice Peace
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “Every day brings a choice: to practice stress or to practice peace.”— Joan Borysenko The quote above is telling us that we have a choice in the matter when it comes to choosing stress or peace. We have control to decide how we deal with stress. When we don’t deal […]
The Risk Of Giving
