Productive beings should reap the rewards and happiness that they have earned.  Those who are non-productive should not automatically receive.  Fruits of our labor are the only way we can prosper and live happily.  Pretending to be happy is not our natural state.  Producing values, for self and others, is our natural state and is full of happiness.   There is only one valid authority, the authority of rational...

Why should a strong-arm government expect you to sacrifice your efforts, earnings and values to the non-producers and tricksters?   Enslavement to the social good is not the solution to America’s problems.  We must each step-up to the plate, produce for the pay we receive, and quit believing the world owes us.  Begin to ask what we can do to help a neighbor, co-worker, or a child.    Quit asking for...

How fortunate we (human species) discovered a major difference to the animal kingdom thousands of years ago.   The discovery of consciousness and our ability to feel, think, learn, and grow.  With honest thought and effort we consider facts to alter our own reality also known as “what is”.  Failing to stay in the “what is” one will follow and fail to use that gift, the conscious mind.    Upon...

We don’t stay where we aren’t wanted.  We don’t remain happy in a job that gives us no staying opportunities.  We may remain there for financial gain, but we slowly die in stagnation.  The same can be said for all relationships.     Without reasons to stay, our brain no longer functions the way it is designed to because we don’t get to properly exercise it when we are bored.  We feel no emotion,...

Power must be truly earned if it is to last.  Think about the power you felt riding a bike; the freedom, the control in your moment on that bike.  You had to exercise your mind and body to keep the wheels spinning and heading the right direction.   Oh, the power of that relationship.   You usually had a destination in mind before you jumped on the bike (Yes, jumped…).  You had someplace, something or...

At the end of a 23 year relationship, I realized how little time I had spent with my children.  I traveled extensively in my career of 18 years, with the help of my spouse during marriage, and, then a Nanny.  Driving down the highway, reflecting on loneliness, I decided to change careers.  I knew change was difficult and uncertain due to the divorce.  My fears were quickly replaced by love for my new coffee...

What will you do for desire?   Tying the knot can mean many things, including getting married as one satisfies a lifelong desire.  Hope that life suddenly improves upon exchanging rings and vows. Do you honestly believe that you have instant control of the relationship?  Or that your partner is forever officially sealed in love by the ring?  How can that be so? Only you can make it so by fueling your desires...

 Fall in Love Would you love to fall in love all over again?  Would you like to experience those tingling feelings from your head to your toes once again?  Why does love and its’ good feelings have to pass so quickly? What was it that you did differently before you met?  Were you truly a happy person before you hooked-up? Or, were you depressed and your partner made you feel good?  How can one try to...

Accepting Someone to Love  Yesterday, you looked yourself in the mirror and said “I Love You!”  If you have not, go do it right now.  You will surely feel better.  I tell myself that each night, when my head hits the pillow and immediately upon opening my eyes each morning.  The reason? I do!  I do love me, and because of that I am capable of loving another.  My acceptance of who I am, and always...

Expanding Your Value (Potential)  Having looked at yourself in the mirror, from you own perception, and, as if from another’s perception, I trust you feel better.  Perhaps you feel happier, knowing that you are the one in control of how you feel and appear, based upon your new understanding that you make more choices than you previously thought.  Hopefully, with each glimpse, you feel happier.  Life is...
