If we want a better life, the best way forward is to change ourselves. These articles examine some of the considerations involved in that process.
- Decades of growth
- There are many ideas about how we grow up, and this is my take on the process from my own observations.
- Developing trust
- We live with a lot of uncertainty, and if it is too strong, we lose trust in our ability to control our lives.
- Emotions and love
- While we often consider love just another emotion, it is more than that, as it is the key to our transforming ourselves beyond just reacting to our circumstances in life.
- Forgiveness
- Forgiveness is a state of mind or attitude that is not ruled by what we or others have done that has created problems for us. We have let go of it!
- Honest about honesty
- Many talk about being authentic and showing vulnerability as signs of being honest, but is doing those things really mean we are being honest?
- Is it all just noise?
- In this modern world of social media, are we just being swamped by others' noise? How do we keep our sense of sanity in all this?
- Loss
- When we suffer loss in our lives, we can have a sense of being in a tail-spin as we go through a range of emotions while we try to make sense of our life without who or what we've lost.
- Making changes to our lives
- Through our own or another's insights, may have seen some new possibilities for our lives. At times, that is enough to take charge of our lives.
- Mindset is not belief
- Many seem to push the idea that changing your view of things is all that is needed to change your life, but there is much more to it.
- Scientific method
- Many see science as based upon facts, but the central process by which those facts are determined is based upon a leap of faith. Moreover, that process is used by everybody in their daily lives, albeit mostly imperfectly.
- Self-awareness
- Self-awareness comes from focussing one's consciousness upon the nature of one's own thoughts, feeling and actions, rather than just reacting to life's experiences and challenges.
- Temptation
- Too many are willing to sacrifice any morals they have, just to be part of what seems to be the successful/winning team, or get what they desire.
- Using the subconscious
- We clutter our minds up with so many worries and questions about them that we block out our most important resource, our subconscious.
