When It’s Too Good To Be True
Post Written By Eugene Morgan When it’s too good to be true, then it is too good to be true. How come we sometimes ignore our inner voice that warns us about something? What makes a crafty salesperson is that they look for what we think is important to us. For example, if we […]
Being Spontaneous
Post Written By Eugene Morgan Being spontaneous is about freely expressing ourselves without external forces. We do something naturally without hesitation. Sometimes it’s nice to do something spontaneous rather than planned. Planning something requires thinking while doing something that comes natural is spontaneous. A spontaneous behavior is more honest and unconscious while deliberate behavior is […]
Finding Your Labor Of Love
Post Written By Eugene Morgan We won’t know what we can do, if we don’t try. How can we find what we’re good at, if we don’t try? Some of us won’t try because we have a fear of the unknown. Fear can be use as an excuse for not knowing what we’re capable of […]
Let Go
Post Written By Eugene Morgan Sometimes we need to let go of the past, if we want to move forward. Holding on to the past only slows us down. When we let go, we are free; it’s a choice we can make. If we’re constantly thinking about what’s hurting our ego, then it’s time to […]
Knowledge Is A Treasure
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it.” ~Lao Tzu If only we apply half of the knowledge we acquire, we would know what works and what doesn’t work. We get some much information about everything that it is difficult to sort through it all. When we […]

Today is Our Future
Written By Eugene Morgan Let us make today our future and do the things we dream of doing now. Or at least we can start planning by actually writing down what we need to do to execute the plan to make our dream real. Our dream is becoming real each time we’re planning and working […]
A Patient Listener
Post Written By Eugene Morgan We all have our own opinions about things. Some of us are more opinionated than others and some of us are quick to make our opinions known. Everyone has a right to his or her opinions, which in turn means we must respect everyone’s opinion. We don’t have to agree […]
The Interconnections of Life
Post Written By Eugene Morgan You are not separate from the whole. You are one with the sun, the earth, the air. You don’t have a life. You are life. ~ Eckhart Tolle Sometimes we find ourselves feeling separate from everything, when in truth, we are somehow connected. When we feel alone in the world […]
To Be Complete
Post Written By Eugene Morgan We don’t need to have what others have to be complete. We’re already complete as we are; we just have to find that out for ourselves. We can only be our best from moment to moment. Some of us are more comfortable with ourselves than are others. Each one of […]
Meanings We Cherish
Post Written By Eugene Morgan Meaning is very important in our life. We cherish our memories because they’re meaningful to us. We can look back and reflect on past events in our lives that make us happy. Our experiences create memorable meanings. We don’t have to look for what’s meaningful. After we experience a memorable […]
When It’s Time for Discipline
Post Written By Eugene Morgan It is time for discipline when we’re too tired to go on. It is time for discipline when we don’t have time to spare. It is time for discipline when emotions and feelings are controlling us. It is time for discipline when our rigid ideas are keeping us away from […]
Procrastinating Our Time
Post Written By Eugene Morgan It is easier to focus on how much time we have left to start a new project than to focus on completing a project. This is just another way of procrastinating, by focusing our attention on the amount of time we have remaining, instead of working on the task itself. […]
Expectation
Post Written By Eugene Morgan Expectation is a belief that something will happen. If we expect failure then we will in our power fail. But if we expect to succeed, then we will in our power succeed. We have a lot of power we don’t know about or forgot about. We can just reach in […]
Make It Happen
Post Written By Eugene Morgan We determine whether something will be a blessing or a curse by the way we choose to see it. ~ Kate Nowak If we choose to see something as a curse, then we can choose to see it as a blessing. Some of us don’t think we have a choice […]
When Respect is Lost
Post Written by Eugene Morgan When there is hostility, anxiety, depression, respect is lost. When we respect ourselves our hostility, anxiety and depression decreases. The person who is hostile to another person has lost self-respect. This means the person is off-balance. All humans have an instinct for self-preservation. In an evolutionary view, we have an […]
The Internal Mind
Post Written By Eugene Morgan It would be nice when we sit down and close our eyes and not think. If we don’t pay attention to the thoughts that runs through our minds, we would be better off. We don’t have to entertain a negative thought. Our attention can focus on nothingness of our experience. […]
Curiosity is Wonderful
Post Written By Eugene Morgan Curiosity is our way of learning something we don’t know about but want to know. We have all experienced as children receiving a surprise toy we were delighted to have. But when the novelty wore off, we no longer had any use for it, because we had done everything with […]
Don’t Give Up
Post Written By Eugene Morgan Why do some of us give up on things before we even get started? Belief controls our behaviors. If we have the belief that we can’t do it, then our body will follow and demonstrate that in our behaviors. This belief can take on different forms such as avoidance , […]
