It’s easy to get wrapped up in the challenges and fail to see how much beauty and happiness IS present in our lives.

One way to bring more awareness to the good things instead of just the bad is to share the day’s highlights. Keep in mind that this is NOT to brag, but is about appreciating and celebrating the positive experiences we have each day.

Make it a habit to become mindful of all of the positive experiences you have. See and feel all that’s good in your life.

Have a beautiful weekend and keep this quote in mind: “People are just about as happy as they make up their minds to be.” – Abraham Lincoln

Peace and Love, Jim

We all have patterns that keep us from operating at our full potential. Our awareness typically shines light on them after the fact and we’re left wondering, “How did I get here again?”

Well, let’s see. The subconscious mind drives our behavior roughly 95% of the time. We have >50,000 thoughts a day and yet only 1-10% are conscious. The pace of life allows little to no breathing room. Hmmm, I guess it’s no wonder that our unconscious patterns run the show.

This is precisely why we need daily practices that help us to see how our actions are creating our lives. It’s through self-awareness that we’re empowered with the ability to deliberately choose our actions, so we can dissolve unwanted patterns and create the life we want.

No one remains the way they were when we come to recognize the truth of self.
