Post Written By Eugene Morgan “You cannot control the results, only your actions.” ― Allan Lokos The only power we have is from our actions. Trying to control something or someone that doesn’t have any bearing on us is a waste of our time and energy. Even if we study the behaviors of others and […]

Finding Time
Post Written By Eugene Morgan When we find ourselves not working on a project, because we say to ourselves, “I don’t have the time,” then it is time to make the time. We can’t afford to wait for a moment or for the right time to start a project, because we will wait for it […]
Set Backs
Post Written By Eugene Morgan A set back doesn’t mean we have failed. A set back can mean that we need to try another approach. A set back is only a feedback to us that what we’re doing isn’t working. A set back is temporary and so is the disappointment that comes with it. We […]
Sometimes It Rains And Sometimes It Doesn’t
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “Life is much better if sometimes it rains and sometimes it doesn’t.” ~ Milton Erickson If we get sunshine everyday, we won’t appreciate the sun. If everything we do comes easy, we will never feel a satisfaction of doing hard work. Just as there are constant changes in the weather, […]
Live A Happy Life, Then Tie It To A Goal
“If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.” − Albert Einstein It is not up to others to make us happy. No one can completely satisfy another. No one can fill in a void of another. It is nice to have things. But nice things can’t […]
It’s Not As Hard…
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “It’s not as hard as I always think it’s going to be.” We don’t have to run away from difficult work. Even when we find out that the work is difficult, it’s not impossible to carry it out. We all have experienced thinking how difficult the work is going to […]
Life Isn’t As Serious As You Think
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “Life isn’t as serious as the mind makes it out to be.” ~ Eckhart Tolle If we take life as it is and accept things as they are, then we can better take on the day. But if we keep our expectations high on how we think the world should […]
The Way We Perceive It
Post Written By Eugene Morgan No one can perceive things in a 360 degree. We will never see the whole picture. What we perceive will always be through our filters. Our filters are our culture, our education and our background. That means each and every one of us brings in a unique perspective. So if […]
When Change Is Needed
Post Written By Eugene Morgan Change is needed when we don’t have a purpose. Change is needed when we don’t have any direction. Change is needed when we don’t have a plan. Change is needed when we don’t change our approach. Change is needed with when we’re sick and tired of being sick and tired. […]
Endurance Makes Me Stronger
Post Written By Eugene Morgan What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche Sometimes we back down on something that challenges us, because we’re afraid that it may harm us somehow. We’re afraid we may not endure the physical or the mental pain. We’re afraid we may react to a challenge as though […]
Doubt and Beliefs
Post Written By Eugene Morgan Just like the chicken or the egg, what came first— doubt or belief about what we can’t do? When we have doubts in our abilities we fuel the belief that we can’t do something. If we believe we can’t do this or that, then it becomes true. If we let […]
Doesn’t Matter What Others Think?
“Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner.” ~ Lao Tzu When we are focused too much on what others think about us, we lose focus on what we want in life and what’s best for us. Sometimes we want to know what others are thinking because we want to […]
Writing Your Thoughts Down
Post Written By Eugene Morgan Writing our thoughts down can be a useful tool to find out how we think and what we’re thinking about at the time. If we want to know something about ourselves, then we can start a journal. Journaling can help us through emotional conflicts and also it can help us […]
When Inspiration Is A No Show
Post Written By Eugene Morgan We get frustrated when inspiration doesn’t come when needed. Instead, we must wait until it hit us. When inspiration does hit us, it means our minds are beginning to open up to new ideas. Inspiration stimulates ideas into our minds. If we just keep the inspiration in the forefront of […]
Finding Satisfaction In What We Do
Post Written By Eugene Morgan Whatever we do we need to find satisfaction. Not everything we do will make us satisfied. Some parts of the work we do will be satisfying while other parts won’t be. This is how life is. To know what’s satisfying to us, we must experience what’s unsatisfying. Since we’re unique, […]
Listening, Silence and Communication
Post Written By Eugene Morgan When we don’t know what to say or do, then it’s okay to be silent, because we can learn a lot just by listening. Being silent doesn’t mean we’re passive participants instead we’re active listeners. We’re listening to the other individual through our filters. Our filters are our culture, our […]
How Is Your Resolutions So Far
Post Written Eugene Morgan Believe or not, we are almost done with January. Those of us who haven’t started with resolutions, it’s not too late to start now. Because before we know it, five more months would have been passed without anything done. The feeling of regret that we didn’t do anything in six months […]
Progress
Post Written By Eugene Morgan When we do make some personal progress in our lives, we ought to celebrate. Making progress is a milestone especially if the work is difficult and slow. It requires patience and constant persistence to continue doing difficult work. There are times when every part of our body doesn’t want to […]
Doing Something Now Saves Time
Post Written By Eugene Morgan It is easy to say we are going to do something or we need to do something, than to do it. But when we see that we haven’t done anything about it in two weeks or longer, and then we won’t do it at all. We find ourselves thinking about […]
When Freedom Ring
Post Written By Eugene Morgan When we are in control of our destiny, we feel a sense of freedom. And on the other side of freedom is responsibility. We need both freedom and responsibility in our lives to keep balanced. We can’t have one without the other. If we have too much freedom, nothing will […]
