You Are A Meaning Maker And A Time Binder

“We are meaning makers and time binders. There is nothing but consciousness, and conscious awareness. We are blind to what we are blind to. We don’t know what we don’t know. We create descriptions and stories to explain what we think we know and what we don’t. Our stories and descriptions are not true. They […]

Self-Sabotage: It’s Time to Take Control of Your Programming

“Stop calling it self-sabotage: It’s time to take control of your programming. I address this issue/nonissue in my book ‘Life on Your Terms’. Get it and read about it. As an example, if you consistently procrastinate on important tasks or tell yourself you’re not good enough, you might think you’re sabotaging your own progress. But […]

A Hefty Promise Made To You

“While some may consider the following literal, I prefer to consider it allegory. The deeper meaning is about the laws that govern the universe and our lives and not some deity blessing or cursing us for doing right, having faith or not. That said, the laws have positive rewards or benefits for aligning with them […]

The Magnificent Universe Always Is…

“There’s a meme going around that states, ‘The magnificent universe always provides abundantly when you’re in a state of gratitude.’ I disagree. The magnificent universe is always abundantly providing, BUT it’s only when you’re in a state of gratitude that you’re able to notice that and receive. The universe doesn’t change what it is doing. […]

The Path To Success And Happiness You May Have Missed

“Alright, let’s dig deep. Some of you might have been rattled by my previous blog. That’s okay. It happens. Some get upset when I suggest how you respond matters and that what we consider objective reality, isn’t objective at all. It is how we react to it or respond to it that matters. Perspective makes a difference. That is true for therapy as well. Some therapies focus on helping the person take charge of their life and become a resilient person.

They encourage the person to be able to handle changes more easily. AND not just handle changes but initiate and maintain the changes they want to make. Others, tend to coddle the person and keep them stuck as a survivor, blaming others and the world around them. Sometimes, it is built into the therapy practice tenants, other times it’s the practitioner. But let’s strip away the specifics for a moment.

Take out all references to therapy, methods, or approaches, and get to the core of what I’m saying. This isn’t about therapy. This isn’t about a single practice or philosophy. It’s about me. It’s about YOU. This is about your locus of control, where you attribute the source of your suffering and your resourcefulness. Are you living life as if you’re ‘at cause’ or ‘at effect’ of others, events and circumstances? That distinction can change everything.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

In my life, I’ve decided: I am 100% responsible for my thoughts, my emotions, and my outcomes. No one else. Not god or the universe. Not the government. Not the economy. Not my neighbor, my boss, or my past. NOT EVEN my conditioning from others while growing up. The buck stops here, on my shoulders. This mindset doesn’t mean that external factors don’t exist or that they don’t influence us.

Of course, they do. But here’s the empowering part: you get to decide how you respond. Take Viktor Frankl, for example. In Man’s Search for Meaning, Frankl recounts his time in Nazi concentration camps. Stripped of his freedom and subjected to unimaginable suffering, he realized one undeniable truth: while others could control his external circumstances, they could not control his inner world.

His mindset allowed him to find purpose and meaning even in the darkest of times. This isn’t just theory. It’s practice. It’s choosing to be the driver of your bus instead of a passenger. It’s saying, “Life happens. What I do with it is up to me.” Your circumstances don’t define you. You do! We’ve all faced challenges. Maybe you’ve been through financial struggles, heartbreak, or career setbacks.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

It’s easy to point fingers, to blame the boss who fired you, the economy that tanked, or the partner who betrayed you. But here’s the truth: blame keeps you stuck. Responsibility sets you free. Consider this: During economic downturns, some people lose everything and spiral into despair. Others? They build empires. They see opportunities where others see obstacles. Why? Because of their mindset.

Take Donnie, for instance. After losing his job in the 2008 recession, he could have wallowed in self-pity. Instead, he pivoted, started a side hustle, and eventually built a thriving online business. Today, he’s financially free, not because her circumstances were easy, but because he chose to respond differently. There is a turning point where everything can be different. It’s when you notice what isn’t working in your life.

Whether it’s a habit, a thought pattern, or a reaction, don’t beat yourself up. Celebrate the awareness! That’s the turning point. Awareness is the first step toward transformation. Let’s say you catch yourself spiraling into negative self-talk: ‘I’m not good enough,’ ‘This will never work,’ or ‘Why does this always happen to me?’ Instead of criticizing yourself for those thoughts, pause and celebrate the fact that you noticed.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Then, shift your focus. Ask yourself: ‘What CAN I do in this situation?’ ‘How can I turn this into an opportunity?’ ‘What’s the best response I can choose right now?’ Remember: It’s not about perfection. It’s about progress. Each time you catch yourself, redirect your thoughts, and take a small positive action, you’re rewiring your brain for success. Your attitude really does determine your altitude. It’s the number one predictor for success in everything.

Your attitude is everything. It shapes your beliefs, which in turn drive your actions and determine your results. Want better outcomes? Start with better beliefs. Here’s a simple exercise: Every morning, ask yourself, “What’s one thing I can celebrate today?” This shifts your focus from problems to possibilities. Over time, this practice transforms not just your mindset but your entire life. Act@ Don’t wait for change. Create it!

How Others Can Tell If You’re Worth Knowing!

“This discussion won’t be exhaustive. That’s true of each of my blogs. There are many factors. However, today I want to address an important one. You are known by your values and actions. Your values simply defined are what’s important to you Examples could be, family, time, finances, fun, health, and business success. You get the idea. Some are more important to you than others.

You might say we have a hierarchy from most important to least. In workshops we often do exploratory discovery exercises to help people identify their top values. Values can also be integrity, honesty, loyalty, compassion and helping others. We can value people, places, activities, things and information. See why this blog won’t exhaust the topic? What’s important to you?

Typically, we describe values with a word or two. Family or helping others. We have our personal understanding of what a value means to us. The same word may have a different meaning to someone else. In theory, we know what’s important to us. What’s important to us is what we spend our energy, attention, time, money and effort to attain. So, this is how we define values.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

We can describe them in other ways for sure. We’ve ways we think we can obtain or fulfill our values. We know when we live by them or not. We know when we violate one of ours or someone else’s. I’ll share more in other blogs because we have beliefs, the why’s, reasons and explanations for why we think and do what we do. We’ve ways of operationalizing and testing our values.

Another way to think about this is as strategies for fulfilling them or living from them. We have excuses and reasons why we go counter to our values. We’ve internal conflicts and conflicts with others over them. We defend our values. We attempt to be consistent and not to violate them, but we may. Values give us purpose, shape our behavior and guide us in decision-making.

We may share values with others and frequently our tribes are ones that share many values in common. Because they’re most important to us, we speak about them and are known by them. we can’t help it. We talk about what’s important to us and mostly act consistently in realizing them in our daily life. Actions speak louder than words. We speak and do. Others watch and listen.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

What we say and do is always on display. We cannot, not communicate. Our values, beliefs, strategies, means and methods leak from us at all times. We broadcast who we are constantly by what we do and say. We’re known for our decisions, the people we fraternize with, the things we do, the things we say we’ll do but don’t and the results we get. We are always on display.

That isn’t a bad thing. Understand that in a family, a group of friends or coworkers and in society people understand us by what is important to us and how we behave. We are known by whether we are primarily focused on ourselves or on others. Who do we care about? Are we hurtful or helpful? Are we liars or true to our word? Are we consistent? Are we a ‘good’ person? Get it?

We either walk our talk or we don’t. Our reputation precedes us. YOUR reputation precedes you. People know who you are even if you try to conceal it. They know how we are, who we are, and how valuable our word is. They know whether we keep our promises. Do we say things we won’t follow through on? Do we lie? Are we honest? Do we care about others or only ourselves?

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

WHO we are speaks loudly. It screams at others. THIS IS WHO I AM AND WHAT I AM ALL ABOUT! You are known by your decisions. As creatures of habit, we are patterned people. We are consistent. Even if we are inconsistent consistently. We are recognizable, liked or loathed because we wear values almost like we wear a suit of clothes. People can tell just by observing.

If something happens once, it may be random. Twice a coincidence. Three times it is likely you are witnessing a pattern or an emerging one. You’ve heard ‘fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.’ Others know who you are. ‘You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.’ This really isn’t about fooling anyone.

This discussion is about integrity and being authentic, but the point is there is no conning a con. Get it? You reflect what you hold most dear. Your words and actions will reveal even when you attempt to conceal. People, wise people, can tell. This blog site is about discovering and living from your authentic self. There’s no need to deceive. There is every reason to be genuine!
