Every great thinker all throughout history told us this one universal truth… “We become what we think about all day long” #subconsciousmind #subconsciousthinkers #mindsettraining #mentality_facts #mentalgamestrong #earlnightingale #thoughtscreatereality #joedispenza #thoughtsarethings #controlyourmindset #thoughtscreatethings

What is your truth? How do you know that what you believe about you is true? And how do you advance your knowledge of the truth, and develop a greater awareness of what that knowledge means to you? "The truth is obtained like gold, not by letting it grow bigger, but by washing off from it everything that isn't gold " ~ Leo Tolstoy Blueprints allow us to see clues and evidence of the existence of these golden nuggets. Let me share a few of the things I believe to be true about who I am, for example: ✨I am a human being, not a human doing. ✨I want to be of service to others but need to remember to be of service to myself as well. ✨I have a caring nature, and to honor that truth I must take time to nurture my own nature so I can continue to care for the world around me. ✨If things aren't in order, that doesn't mean they are wrong. They're just displaced and in need of a home. ✨It's okay for me to be discriminating, but not to be overly critical (towards myself, especially). ✨Learning to care for my own needs will boost my health, enhance my self-esteem, nurture my nurturing nature, and honor my soul essence. "Understanding that caring about ourselves is not selfish creates an awesome sense of self-acceptance and awareness." ~ Sarah Bartlett Be neither self-centered (too much ego) nor self-conscious (too little ego); rather, be self-controlled by understanding who you are. . . . #quotes #wealthofknowlege #raiseEQ #blueprints #goldennugget #truth #soulessence #personalgrowth

The Practical 52 Stories are powerful. They can free you from your condition of mind or keep you trapped in a spiral of apathy. A pathway forward to telling your story may be hearing someone else's! This post was inspired by a conversation I overheard between Vincent Phipps and Galen Bingham. Thanks for the creative energy you sent my way.

Unbecoming to Become!

Something so simple yet so difficult to understand! #journeyofsuccess #becoming #unbecoming #paulocoelho

During my last years in my hometown in the 1970s I would regularly watch Man Alive on television, an excellent Canadian public program on religion. The title came from a saying attributed to the second century Church Father St. Irenaeus: “The glory of God is man fully alive.” One of the programs I will never forget is when the Jewish psychiatrist and survivor of German concentration camps Viktor E. Frankl was interviewed. My father was a Polish war veteran, for one thing, so his story was closer to me since it concerned the war, the memories of which had accompanied my childhood. Thus once I started reading his "Man’s Search for Meaning", which starts with his memoir and reflections on the experience before his systemized theory, it was even closer for me. So from early on Frankl’s thought had something of a personal meaning for me. The essence of Frankl’s psychology is the crucial need for meaning in our lives; he called it the will to meaning. He integrated this form of motivation in our lives with what was earlier discerned by Freud and Adler, that is he accepted that we are also governed by instincts and a will to power. He did not reject what he felt was constructive in his Viennese predecessors’ theories. Nevertheless, for Frankl it was finding meaning that made our lives truly human—it could be said that it helped us be truly alive in a manner similar to St. Irenaeus’ understanding. Only when we could not find meaning did the lower levels of our being—power and instincts—fill the void, so to speak, and in doing so become distorted. In Frankl’s theory meaning allowed us to transcend ourselves. Thus, he laid the foundations of what later developed as moral or positive psychology. However, the problem is how does this psychological insight relate to broader problems within a society. A recent interview with philosopher Stephen Blackwood, the founding President of Ralston College, fills this gap. Obviously an astute reader of Frankl, who he draws upon him a couple of times, the will to meaning is given powerful contemporary social significance, and even more. The interview was conducted on the Triggernometry podcast, entitled: “Why We Have a Crisis of Meaning” on Sep 22, 2024. Here is the link:

Not every time do “Books give you wingggssss…” Sometimes, they sneak in ideas that stick—like only fair and tall is beautiful, or that boys don’t cry. It’s funny how those childhood tales can shape our grown-up minds, making us cling to old beliefs. Maybe it’s time to rethink the stories we’ve been telling ourselves! #ConfirmationBias #ChildhoodMemories #RethinkBeliefs #ChallengingNorms #BreakingStereotypes #StorybookLessons #NewPerspectives #MindsetShift #CulturalBias #GrowBeyond

True Freedom is yet to be achieved

Independence is more than just a day we commemorate. it is an ongoing journey we uphold each day. Let's aim for genuine mental and spiritual liberation as we expand the boundaries of research and intellect. The journey to true autonomy is a never-ending path. #Researcharge #IndependenceDay #FreedomInThought #JourneyContinues
