Getting Confused

It is easy to get confused when people tell you what you want to hear.  When you get told a message that you already agree with, you instantly connect and feel vindicated. Then you are in a vulnerable position, one that can lead to confusion. The ideal situation is to be careful of every message you already agree with and pay attention to what you don’t know yet. Learn more. Seek after the best things, seek after what is true and right, not just what you already agree with. As you question what you already know and are willing to search for more truth – you will find it, and when you find it it will confirm your correct beliefs and correct your false ones. The confusion comes when the echo chamber you live in ends up breaking and you then are left without anything to hold on to. To protect yourself from the damage get out before it shatters.

Acceptance

If you can’t accept what is, you will never accept what could be. Acceptance is the first step toward peace. Peace is the path to success. Accept your life, accept others, and most importantly accept the possibilities of living a better life, accept the opportunity for better relationships.

Creative Intelligence

A successful life is one of creative intelligence that is used to help others.

Intelligence is common sense, knowledge, and action working together to fulfill your purpose.

One missing ingredient will result in eventual failure.

Failure is never permanent as long as you keep going.

Keep going until all the ingredients are in place.

Express Your Dreams

Dreams are about searching. Searching for purpose. Searching for truth. Searching for meaning. Searching for connection. When you focus on your dreams, what you really are doing is finding all the little things that need to get done. When you find the little actions, you do them. Then the more you do them, the more your dreams become realized. Dreams are expressions of future fulfillment. Find the staircase, find the small steps, take them one by one, and watch your dreams come true.
