Past Present Future A reader request: Would you please talk about being/living in the moment, for this day and not ruminating about the past. I would like to hear your thoughts about mistakes or difficult things that have happened in the past and the ineffectiveness of dwelling on them. ~ Here you go Debby: Throughout the […]
You Have Already Arrived
August 14, 2015 by Leave a Comment
You Have Already Arrived People live so much of their lives thinking that they have not arrived yet – but that they will arrive when they are (fill in the blank) more successful, wealthier, skinnier, happier, etc. This is a lousy life strategy. First of all it creates a lot of suffering. “I’m not okay because I […]

A Couple of Deep Questions What do you really believe you deserve (at a deep honest level rather than the “what-I-wish-it-was” level? How valuable are you?

Twisted Logic

Twisted Logic I’m not worthy to get there because I have not gotten there yet! That sounds ridiculous! It is not logical. And – that twisted belief dominates many people’s lives.

Valuing Aliveness and Well-Being Clearly we do not place a high value on being happy, feeling good, having peace of mind, or being full of vitality and aliveness. Why do I say this?

The Smart Way to Climb a Mountain Imagine that you and I are climbing a mountain together. I keep mumbling, “I’m not there yet. I’m not there yet. I’m not there yet.” How long before you scream, “SHUT UP ALREADY”? Not only am I driving myself crazy, but I’m bringing your energy down too. A […]

ARGGGGHHHH ~ I Cannot Believe I’m Doing This Again Human beings are both a mess and a miracle – this is not optional, it came with your body. Making mistakes, screwing up, back sliding, finding yourself thinking or behaving in a way that you don’t want to ~ this is all an inevitable part of […]
