What skills or lessons have you learned recently? This came up in group last night: Try to stay in two emotions, happy or neutral.

Guide 4 Thinkers
This blog was inspired by an excellent blog on here by Guide4Thinkers (@guidethinkers975). It engaged my mind on the subjects of what I call the myths we’re raised with. Things made to feel important but that in fact don’t exist, even though it feels very much that they do. Even though what I’m about toContinueContinue reading “Guide 4 Thinkers”
Double Edged Swords

How we look at things only one way, when there is at least one more way they can be viewed. How our word comes fromContinueContinue reading “Double Edged Swords”

I’m learning something new that is based on taking total responsibility for your life, for everything that happens to you, even when someone else has done whatever it is. So if someone is unpleasant to you, you were in that place at that time, and so you take responsibility. You may feel like stopping readingContinueContinue reading “Blame -v- Responsibility”
Absent From My Life
One of the aspects I’ve learned from living a soul-centred life and listening to the heart, which is the doorway to the soul, is that I hadn’t put myself into my life.
