Finding Our Gift
Post Written By Eugene Morgan Everyone has a gift. Since each of us is unique, our gifts are expressed in a unique way. It’s all right to admire someone else’s gift. It’s also all right to allow others to admire our gifts. The purpose of our gifts is to be a contributor to the world. […]
Hasty Generalizations Are Lies
Post Written By Eugene Morgan If we keep telling ourselves that we can’t do something because of our background, then it will continue to be true. We don’t have to believe in the self-defeating thoughts that keep us from doing what we want or wish to do. Most of those thoughts are hasty generalizations. Just […]
Learning From Others
Post Written By Eugene Morgan We can learn from others. If we listen closely to someone, we will learn something about ourselves and about that person. We can learn things from all kinds of people. We can learn from books but to really understand life, learning from others and their interest can really be an […]

Unless We Do
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “Nothing will work unless you do.” ˜ Maya Angelou It always starts with us if we want to make progress. Our action is the main ingredient to make something work.

Good Luck
Post Written By Eugene Morgan Sometimes we have good luck and sometimes we have bad luck. However, we don’t have to add to the bad luck; life is already difficult. We can place our attention on what we’re thankful for, and, what we have, instead of what we don’t have. The one person will always […]
Stop Trying Harder
Post Written By Eugene Morgan When we continue to try and then try harder without any results, then it’s possible that we need to look at the situation or problem differently. We don’t want to waste our time waiting for a different result when we’re using the same approach. Problem solving is always about what’s […]
Give Yourself Some Credit
Post Written By Eugene Morgan Sometimes we forget to give ourselves some credit. When we complete something or accomplish something, we need to reward ourselves for the work we have done. We need to do this for ourselves to keep moving forward in what we’re doing. It is nice to please others, however, we ultimately […]
Let Things Happen
Post Written Eugene Morgan Sometimes, we got to let things happen, instead of trying to control the situation. We don’t have to win every battle or be right all of the time. Sometimes, others just need to vent and that’s okay. Sometimes, we’re too quick in giving our own opinion or solution to a problem. […]
We All Have A Story To Tell
Post Written By Eugene Morgan We all have a story to tell. In fact, we have more than one story to tell. When we listen to a story, for us to comprehend it, we have to listen to it through our background of learned experiences. While we’re listening, we’re sorting through our experiences. Through listening […]
Stir A Fire Within Me
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “That living word(w-a-t-e-r) awakened my soul, gave it light, hope, joy set it free!” ˜ Helen Keller Helen Keller discovered that she could learn. Before this discovery, she’d known only darkness. Before this discovery, she’d experienced grief and sorrow through her deafness and blindness. Her deafness and her blindness were once […]
The Treasure Is Within Us
Post Written By Eugene Morgan Why do we look for treasures outside of us to find satisfaction? The external things that we see around us are the result of our inner treasure. All the things that were created by us are the expressions of our inner self. Whether it is useful or not, it is […]
Brainstorming
Post Written By Eugene Morgan Brainstorming can be useful. Brainstorming frees us from our biases. We don’t have to be critical about what pops up in our minds. Brainstorming allows us to discover more about ourselves. We can discover what we’ve thought about but that we weren’t aware. Brainstorming brings out surprises and aha moments. […]
Having Courage
Post Written By Eugene Morgan We know we have the resources and the ability to do it. We just need courage to just do it. Courage is really the lesson to be learned. Courage is about putting ourselves out there with risks that may hurt us. Criticism is inevitable in life. We just need to […]
Being Inflexible
Post Written By Eugene Morgan If we want to go beyond the limitation of our belief, we must be flexible. We must be willing to be flexible, if we want to make progress. The things we’ve done in the past before will only work for so long, and when this happens, we need to readjust […]
Without Regrets
Post Written By Eugene Morgan Regretting is about looking back on what we didn’t do. We didn’t act when we knew that’s the only way to move beyond ourselves. We made up excuses. We doubted ourselves. We didn’t want to let go of our comfort. We got to tolerate discomfort if we want to produce […]
Don’t Forget To Laugh
Post Written By Eugene Morgan Life is difficult enough for all of us. It is how we deal with it is important. Sometimes, we must give ourselves a break from the hardship of life and laugh with friends and family. It’s a balance act. Some of us can be caught up in life’s problems and […]
