Why Goals
Written By Eugene Morgan Sometimes we give up too soon on a dream or a goal, because it seems so big, or we worry about what others may think. It’s easy to come up with excuses than to trek through the goals we set for ourselves. Sometimes, we doubt ourselves way before we start working […]
Adversities, But Life Continues On Anyway
Written By Eugene Morgan Adversities are a time for growth. At times, adversities are overwhelming to deal with. But we don’t have to be alone in our personal adversities; that’s what friend and families are for; they’re our supporters when going through misfortunes. During adversities there seems to be a spiritual element. We tend to ask ourselves […]
Breaking down Assumptions
Written By Eugene Morgan Breaking down assumptions entails questioning our beliefs. Sometimes we believe things without checking them out. When we don’t check things out, we keep ourselves in the dark. But when we do question our beliefs, liberation is upon us. We no longer have to settle for limited beliefs. Learned beliefs are passed […]
No day is the Same
Written By Eugene Morgan Everyday is always different; it’s never the same. We will never repeat the same day, because each day is new. A day is a gift, where it’s a new opportunity to begin anew. One person may be experiencing a good day while another may be experiencing a bad day. While we’re […]
Life is a work in Progress
Written By Eugene Morgan Sometimes we allow our egos to get in the way of our progress. We want to impress our family and friends about what we have done. Our friends and family are supporters not our ego boosters. We don’t have to be motivated to make it in life by impressing anyone. Instead, we […]
Different Personalities; Different Perspectives
Written By Eugene Morgan We ought not let others define who we are as people. Sometimes we think that because someone wants us to be a certain way doesn’t mean there is something wrong with us. We’re all unique people. Each of us looks at the world slightly different. Sometimes, we find ourselves wanting to […]
Making the first Move
Written By Eugene Morgan Expectation is not waiting for something to happen. Expectation is an attitude to do something to expect something to happen. It’s something that we do that influence something external that might happen. We can’t rely on external events alone for something to happen for us. We must play our part in […]
Better Decisions and Better Choices
Written By Eugene Morgan The decisions and choices we have made in the past are the direct correlation of what we are doing today. If we want to change the course of our lives we must make a series of decisions and choices. It’s all right to question our decisions we’ve made in the past. […]
Craft it Out of a Routine
Written By Eugene Morgan When it comes to our craft or whatever we do in life, there’s always room for growth. It took us a long time to learn a craft. When we’re learning something new, it is usually conscious learning, and once it’s learned it becomes unconscious. In other words, whatever we learn […]
Be an Expert in Dirty Work
Written By Eugene Morgan For us to succeed in life, we must do the dirty work. We must do what most people dread doing for us to succeed. There are some monotonous and mindless tasks we must endure. We may have to stay up late to complete a task before retiring to a sound sleep. […]
A Different Conclusion of Change
Written By Eugene Morgan What about change? Change is good. There are things we can change and there are things we can’t change. Perhaps we can’t change certain things, but we can change our attitude about them. But how can we change the way we look at things? One way we can change the […]
The Unconscious Search For Creativity
Written By Eugene Morgan Sometimes we want an answer or an idea right away. Creativity is a wait-and-see process not an on-demand process. When we don’t have an answer or an idea right way, it could be from a conscious block, or we aren’t in a certain mindset to receive the idea and/or answer from […]
Getting It Right is not Always Better
Written By Eugene Morgan As children we were free to imagine and be ourselves without any restrictions. But as we grew older our parents and our teachers told us that to master something, we had to get it right. But when we began to focus on getting things right, we began losing our creativity. As result, […]
Believe You Can
Written By Eugene Morgan “Believe you can and you’re halfway there,” Theodore Roosevelt. This quote speaks volumes. It is the belief in the self what makes the difference. Believe in self is a powerful motivator. When we believe we can do something, it is about our abilities. When we believe in our abilities, we take advantage […]
Staying Cool in a Chaotic World
Written By Eugene Morgan How do we keep cool when everything around us is chaotic? We don’t have to react to an event, but it’s easy to react to an event. When our response to an unpleasant event is like a knee-jerk reaction, then probably the event is controlling us. We feel a need to […]
On Being Teachable
Written By Eugene Morgan Are we teachable? Are we willing to learn from others? Sometimes, we think we have all the answers, or we want to be always right. When we think we’re always right, it leaves no room to learn. After learning something new, it becomes significant to us. The thing we learn becomes […]
