Written By Eugene Morgan What is so important about celebrating living? Does it mean be glad that we’re alive? What does it mean to celebrate life? These are good questions to explore.

Journey Loves Experiences
Written By Eugene Morgan We all have our own journeys we trek through; no one has the same journey. On some level, we all trek through our own journeys alone. Trekking through our own journeys alone isn’t isolation from others. We trek through our own journeys together alone. This means we each bear our own […]
A Peace of Mind or A Mind at Peace
Written By Eugene Morgan Sometimes our minds are restless; we replay troubling scenery of our past, and we don’t want to let go. There is no peace of mind when we replay unpleasant events. We think reliving the unpleasant event would somehow relieve us from the pain. Some of us have tried to think the […]
Experience is in the Detail
Written By Eugene Morgan When was the last time we experienced something that enriched our lives? One of the things that can enrich our lives is having interests, or observing something that makes us curious. Cooking, music, and classic cars are some of the different interests we have that enriches our lives. In a social […]
Pain means we’re still Alive
Written By Eugene Morgan We all tried to avoid pain as much as possible, but it would be terrible if we couldn’t feel anything. Our bodies communicate to our brains when we stubbed a toe or accidentally touched a hot burner. If we didn’t have these experiences, it would be dangerous. It would be a […]
Are We Normal?
Written by Eugene Morgan What is normal? It depends on the context of the situation. We understand that it’s okay to see a toddler with a temper tantrum. On the other hand, when we see an adult displays a temper tantrum like a child would, then we know that’s not normal. All of us have […]
Bring value to Fun Time
Written by Eugene Morgan When was the last time we had fun doing something? Sometimes we have to force ourselves to get out of work mode and into fun mode. We ought not to take life so seriously but we can seriously have fun. It’s all right to give us permission to take a break and do […]
Life grows in Strength
Written by Eugene Morgan What makes us stronger is what life throws at us. Life isn’t always easy; beside we would get bored if life were always easy. When confronted with life challenges, we have the opportune time for growth. Growth helps us build a foundation to handle better the next life challenge that comes our way. […]
Living in the future Moment
Written by Eugene Morgan Living in the moment is better than living in the past. Is living in the moment better than living in the future? When we’re in the moment we lose some sense of time. We have all experienced being so focused on a task that we lose track of time. We stop […]
Imagination
Written by Eugene Morgan We can imagine anything we want. Why are our imaginations so powerful? Our imaginations are powerful because we can make them real. Before something is created, it has to be imagined first. Everything that humanity created was first imagined. No one is without imagination. We have to use our imagination to […]
A Better Way of Thinking
Written by Eugene Morgan We don’t necessarily have to think differently to solve a problem; sometimes we just need a different place to think. Changing scenery is a useful approach to help increase creative thinking. It’s about rearranging our patterns, which can break up and free us from our old way of thinking. By focusing on […]
Plan a Change
Written by Eugene Morgan It’s up to us to make a change. We have the power within ourselves to make a change, if we want to. If we want to improve our lives, we then have to decide to improve it. After we decide to improve our situation, we then can write-up a plan. After […]
Expanding and More Choices
Written by Eugene Morgan When we expand our mind, we have more choices thus more creative freedom in our lives. Rigidity is our worse enemy. Rigidity in the dictionary means the lacking of flexibility. We all have some biases about something. At one time in our lives our minds were flexible and unstructured. But as […]
Possibilities
Written by Eugene Morgan Possibility is a lovely word. Possibility means that there is a way; we just have to find how to get there. Possibility means there are obstacles we must deal with. Possibility means there is hope that we will succeed. Possibility implies potential in us that can make things happen. Possibility is […]
Doing Our Own Thinking
Written by Eugene Morgan It’s an internal process and a powerful experience, when we’re doing our own thinking. There is a feeling of freedom when listening to our own thoughts. Erickson encourages his subjects to do their own thinking. He gives them permission to deliberately think about their own thoughts. From time to time, it’s […]
A Re-Experience
Written by Eugene Morgan In our lives each one of us have experienced something we learned that affected our lives. It altered the way we think, it changed us for the rest of our lives. We sometimes return to that moment in our memory banks to re-experience it. We want to re-experience it because it […]
How Resistant Are We?
Written by Eugene Morgan How resistant are we for change? When we’re presented with new ideas or new changes, we find ourselves resisting them. Resistance can be a good thing but not so good a thing, depending on the context of the situation. If someone is trying to indoctrinate us into a belief system that […]
What Do You See
Written by Eugene Morgan When we look at ourselves in the mirror, most of us will find something we dislike about ourselves. We have a certain image in our minds of how we should look. Body image was one of the major themes in Milton Erickson’s work. He wanted to know just how his subjects […]
We see in part
Written by Eugene Morgan Life is a sword that wounds, but cannot wound itself; like an eye that see, but cannot see itself,” Zen Master We cannot see the entire picture, we can only see in part. We see through our own unique perspective. It’s good to learn different perspectives other than our own. Learning other perspectives […]
Our Life is a Story
Written by Eugene Morgan Our life is a story; we all have a story to tell. There is usually a repeated theme that plays out in our lives. Having a repeated theme suggest we still need to learn something from it. Although some things will always repeat because life is a cycle, it’s not linear. During […]
