Let us start with a pondery: has impatience ever benefited you? For example, what if you checked this website daily for the last two weeks, expecting to see something new or different? I said thirteen days would be taken off, and thirteen days were taken off. It honestly feels like I lived an entire lifetime […]

Good things come to those who wait. Approximately how many times have you heard that phrase throughout your life? If you are like me, then patience is difficult to practice at times (or almost always). As a way to help us all hone more patience, I am going to take the next thirteen days off […]

It feels like a very humble act to step away from a frivolous fight, yet it does not seem sensible to ever take the fight out of our own self. We have to be able to keep bouncing back from struggles and adversities; we fight for and with our lives. Human perseverance is often due […]

Once restorative and rejuvenating rest has been established, it becomes far easier to begin to strengthen humility. Pride can sweep in quickly if you are not careful and cautious. Humility often felt like a soft or weak skill to me, but I now realize that it is the opposite, at least for me. Humility is […]

Sometimes, to reharmonize internally, we simply need to take a break and enjoy some well-deserved rest. After all, if you do not take care of yourself, then how can you truly expect others to pick up the slack or carry your weight? Can you really help others to the best of your full potential and […]

As you grow your view of the world and accept it compassionately, the rhythm and resonance of your surroundings strengthen to your senses. Or, rather, an increase in your senses improves your perception of identifying and immersing yourself in flow. Vibing. Harmonizing. I like considering that there is not only one way to harmonize. Instead, […]

As you accept yourself and others better, you can begin to work on growth. You have a lot of new information that becomes available as you listen and learn more, and you can use it all to fuel inner and outer growth. Which soft skill can you sharpen some? What physical feature can you work […]

My happiness grows in direct proportion to my acceptance,and in inverse proportions to my expectations. -Michael J. Fox Be here. Now. In this moment. There can be such quiet and peace. Acceptance is the key; being okay with what currently is. Learning to ease off on the need to control every. minute. detail. Like one […]

Compassion is choosing to care. You want to express concern and sympathy for someone, even yourself, and their struggle. You want to help. If you are happy, then others can be happy. Similarly, if others are happy, then you can be happy. We can all work more on extending more compassion, both inwardly for ourselves […]

Let gratitude be the pillow upon which you kneel to say your nightly prayer. -Maya Angelou How often do you slow down or stop to appreciate everything around you? “Moment to pause” is another DBT skill that can be valuable here. When you go to sleep, do you think about all of the things that […]

You find peace not by rearranging the circumstances of your life,but by realizing who you are at the deepest level. -Eckhart Tolle Truth paves the way to peace. If you are not truthful with yourself, then how can you be at peace? You may think you can still be happy, but delusions deceive you. Your […]

Truthfully, I did not know what this next cycle’s theme would entail as of the last post on Friday, so I could not allude to or foreshadow it like I prefer. I was honestly exhausted, mentally drained by a magnitude or two. Delving into forgiveness was challenging and heavy for me. I still have plenty […]

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. -Mahatma Gandhi Forgiveness is a strong pillar with which to build your bridge upon; it can provide solid support. When established and strengthened, it can open up your potential to accept more and live freely. You do not have to become great at […]

All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them. -Walt Disney I dream of world peace; I dream of no more needless suffering; I dream of freedom for all. Lofty? Definitely. Unattainable? I hope not. Time will tell, though. What do you dream of? If you want to change the […]

I have no special talents.I am only passionately curious. -Albert Einstein Mr. Einstein did not simply self-identify as a curious individual; no, he described himself as passionately curious. In another quote, he encourages us to possess a “holy curiosity” in order to help “make your life worth living.” I love these enhancements of curiosity; I […]

Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving. -Albert Einstein Albert Einstein sought balance. What do you think relativity deals with? To what percentages are space and time in balance or not? He has a lot of enchanting and fascinating quotes; I look forward to referencing many of them […]

I ended last cycle with eight great speeches. Now, to bridge the gap, I want to start with one of my all-time favorite opening scenes. It gives me goosebumps every time I see it. It also helps drive me forward to strive for better change by trying my best to bridge the gap. I think […]

How are you? Good. How ya doin? Fine. What’s up? Not much. I hate these exchanges so much. More often than not, they are simply not true at all. First and foremost, there is so much up above us! Yes, it is cheeky, but it is also quite accurate. Inauthentic answers align with apathy. Why […]
