Post Written By Eugene Morgan “Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding.”— Albert Einstein A lack of peace is a lack of understanding.

Accepting Our Weaknesses
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “Growth begins when we begin to accept our weaknesses.”— Jean Vanier Accepting our weaknesses means that we’re first admitting to ourselves that we have imperfections and/or limitations. For us to grow, we must confront the reality that we have limitations. We don’t have to always yield to them but we […]
What We Enjoy
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “Not what we have but what we enjoy constitutes our abundance.”— John Petit-Senn When we look at what we don’t have, we lose our joy in what we already have. Those things we have were not free. It took us time and energy to get to what we already have. […]
The Joy In Our Potential
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “Joy comes from using your potential.”— Will Schultz Our treasure lies in our potential. Our potential is like a coal in transformation to become a diamond. Our potential is just below the surface ready to be resurfaced to move mountains in our life. If only we get ourselves a chance […]
Think less, Feel More
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “Get out of your head and get into your heart. Think less, feel more.”— Osho For some of us, it is so easy to stay in our heads than to experience the feeling of life. We get so preoccupied with the thoughts in our heads that we can’t hear what […]
Happiness Is A Direction
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “Happiness is a direction, not a place.”— Sydney J. Harris So if we’re seeking happiness, then we must change direction. Changing direction implies to change the way we look at things. Moving from one location to a new location isn’t going to make the grass greener, or solve a problem […]
Look At Both Sides
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “Stop being afraid of what could go wrong, and focus on what could go right.” — Unknown When we anticipate what could go wrong, it is our clue to ourselves that we’re afraid to put ourselves out there. We’re afraid to be and feel vulnerable because this creates discomfort. It is […]
Cherish Today
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “Before someone’s tomorrow has been taken away, cherish those you love, appreciate them today.” — Michelle C. Ustaszeski We don’t really know how long we have on this earth. Instead of wishing that we spent more quality time with our friends and family, today is our opportunity to make that phone […]
What You Can Do Today
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “Don’t put off for tomorrow what you can do today because if you enjoy it today, you can do it again tomorrow.”— James A. Michener Not only does procrastination steals our time, but it also takes away our opportunity to enjoy the time doing it. We procrastinate because sometimes we think our time […]
Relax and Wait For The Answer
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “Your mind will answer most questions if you learn to relax and wait for the answer.”— William S. Burroughs It is difficult to find a solution or answer when our minds are detracted or preoccupied with something that’s irrelevant. Even if we were to quiet our minds, we still have […]
Are We Willing To Learn?
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “We are not what we know but what we are willing to learn.”— Mary Catherine Bateson It is through our learnings that we experience life in our own unique way. It is through our learnings that we will have a greater understanding about life. It is through our learnings that […]
Compassion Includes Yourself
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete.” — Jack Kornfield In other words, we don’t give to others for us to receive back from others. We want to help others because we’ve been helped or have helped ourselves. Therefore, we don’t expect a return. The only return we want […]
Thinks He Is Able
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “He is able who thinks he is able.”— Buddha The secret of success and achievement is to believe in one’s self. If we think that we’re able, then we will act as though we’re able. We already have many abilities that we take for granted because we forget that it […]
Discovery a Mindset
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.”— Marcel Proust Mindset is very important when it comes to facing our challenges. Anxiety increases when we’re confronted with a challenge. Anxiety is created because we see no alternatives in a situation. It is time to change our […]
Completion Is Better
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “What is not started today is never finished tomorrow.”— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Now is the most important time to start. Thinking about it is very different from starting it. When starting something, it is our goal to finish it sometime in the future. Some of us have many start-up […]
Begin With Courage
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “More powerful than the will to win is the courage to begin.”— Unknown The things we’re doing today once had a new beginning. The skills we’ve acquired over the years had a new beginning. So how come we sometimes fear doing something new when we’ve been through this before? This […]
Tomorrow’s Dreams
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “Don’t let today’s disappointments cast a shadow on tomorrow’s dreams.”— Unknown Today will be in the past tomorrow. We can look at our disappointments as a learning experience. We can find a positive side if we look for one. We don’t have to be influenced by yesterday’s disappointments. A good question […]
Making Our Days Better
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “I cannot make my days longer so I strive to make them better.”— Henry David Thoreau One of the hallmarks of procrastinating is when we tried to make our days longer. We tried to fool ourselves into believing that we have more time to do something so we continue to […]
Better To Do
Post Written By Eugene Morgan ‘Better to do something imperfectly than to do nothing flawlessly.’— Robert H. Schuller Sometimes we hesitate to do something because we want to do something the first time flawlessly. Everything we do for the first time will not be done perfectly. It is a process of trial and error of what […]
Holiday Of Thanks
Post Written By Eugene Morgan Today is Thanksgiving. If we broken down the word “Thanksgiving”, it would be “thanks” and “giving.” When someone gives us his or her time and effort, after it is finished we politely say “thank you” and with a reply “you’re welcome.” This is a ritual that we use because it […]
