Post Written By Eugene Morgan Do we have a vision for ourselves? Vision is about imagining the world and ourselves differently. If we want to make a change in the world, then we first start with us. Once we start making changes, then the world we see begin to change. Or at least certain things […]

To Become A Warrior
Post Written By Eugene Morgan To meet a challenge, we must become warriors. A warrior is willing to make sacrifices to meet his or her goals. Having the archetype of a warrior is important when it comes to completing our goals. To start something new, we need the warrior’s mentality to move mountains. We need […]
This Day
Post Written By Eugene Morgan Nothing is worth more than this day. ~ Goethe Today is what we are experiencing now; it is all we have. Tomorrow is only imagined and yesterday is only remembered. But with the present, we have all we need. What is in front of us is what we attend to […]
Rest and Production
Written By Eugene Morgan “It is better to conquer yourself, than to win a thousand battles.” ˜ Buddha Sometimes we think our battle is external. But the truth is that the battle is within. Once we know that to be true, then we can concentrate on what the conflicts are. The battle is between two parts: […]
An Antidote for Despair
Post Written By Eugene Morgan Action is the antidote to despair. ~ Joan Baez We have more control over ourselves than anything external. If it’s something external that is affecting us, then we can do something about it. First, we can change our attitude about the situation by looking for something positive. Second, if it […]
Magic
Post Written By Eugene Morgan Magicians would never tell an audience their secrets. Magic is entertainment. A magician’s goal is to create an atmosphere of believing in something magical. Magic is an experience. We don’t want to know how a magic trick works. We’re also entertained by the skill and the artistry of a magician. […]
How Do We See Ourselves
Post Written By Eugene Morgan How we see ourselves dictates how we behave. If we see ourselves as someone who can’t change, then we won’t change. If we see ourselves as someone who can make a change, then we will change. If we see ourselves unattractive, then we won’t pursue dates. But, if we see […]
What’s Your Story
Post Written By Eugene Morgan Each one of us has a story. Stories are made from our experiences. Listening to a story can be a life changing experience. When we hear someone’s life story, it alters our conscious and unconscious mind. We’re changed inside for the better. It changes us from inside out because we’re […]
Remodel
Post Written By Eugene Morgan Over the years we have accumulated experiences. And over the years we have accumulated generalizations about those experiences. Generalizations can be helpful and they can be harmful. Generalizations are our filters we look through to make sense out of the world. But some of our generalizations can skew our perceptions […]
Just Take A Risk
— Post Written By Eugene Morgan “Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.” ~ T.S. Eliot If we look back on our lives, we will see over the years what moved us ahead from where we were before. Those times were the life changing events […]
See What’s Really There
Post Written By Eugene Morgan It is better to pay attention to things around us because it helps us to be more observant. Being observant is a useful skill to help us interact with the world effectively. Observing ourselves is important because we can find clues about ourselves we didn’t know existed. Learning about our […]
Our Purpose and Our Feelings
Post Written By Eugene Morgan Sometimes we put our feelings ahead of our purpose. Our feelings can be a distraction if we’re not too careful. Sometimes we find ourselves not doing what we set out to do because of our feelings. They’ll always be distractions in our lives. We have to accept that so we […]
We Can Reach
Post Written By Eugene Morgan We ought not allow ourselves to overreact to situation that is out of our control. This is difficult to do if you don’t know how not to overreact with emotions. We have limits and we ought to recognize that we do have them and take a break from a difficult […]
Time, Effort, Progress
Post Written By Eugene Morgan Progress is made when we put in the time. Progress is made when we do what is important first. It’s always nice to look back on how much progress we have made on something. Progress means that we are moving towards our goal. We are getting closer to finishing the […]
Unpleasantness of Life
Post Written By Eugene Morgan The unpleasantness of life is always inevitable. The unpleasantness of life is unavoidable. This is part of life. Life doesn’t need to be defined by unpleasant events. However, we have the power to look differently at unpleasant events. We can look for something good out of something that’s unpleasant. An […]
Ask The Question
Post Written By Eugene Morgan We can only do our best. When we’re confused about something we can always ask someone who knows. Sometimes it is more than a burden to wonder if we’re doing something correctly. We ought not hesitate in asking for help or have a question about something. It’s better for that […]
Creating A Climate For Better Learning
Written By Eugene Morgan For growth to occur, a setting has to be right. A climate is necessary if we want to learn something important. We can’t have a television on while learning something complex. If we have fewer distractions, we can grasp new ideas quickly. For us to learn, concentration is important. A good […]
When It’s Too Good To Be True
Post Written By Eugene Morgan When it’s too good to be true, then it is too good to be true. How come we sometimes ignore our inner voice that warns us about something? What makes a crafty salesperson is that they look for what we think is important to us. For example, if we […]
Being Spontaneous
Post Written By Eugene Morgan Being spontaneous is about freely expressing ourselves without external forces. We do something naturally without hesitation. Sometimes it’s nice to do something spontaneous rather than planned. Planning something requires thinking while doing something that comes natural is spontaneous. A spontaneous behavior is more honest and unconscious while deliberate behavior is […]
Finding Your Labor Of Love
Post Written By Eugene Morgan We won’t know what we can do, if we don’t try. How can we find what we’re good at, if we don’t try? Some of us won’t try because we have a fear of the unknown. Fear can be use as an excuse for not knowing what we’re capable of […]
