Living in America

-
Our great country is in such a state of divide that it has contaminated our uniqueness of being so great. We have to start addressing issues individually and not as a whole as this increases the divide even further. Our country is made of approx 319 million people. There will be bad people trying to find their way as well as many great individuals making a difference. These people are Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Catholic, Mormon, Black, White, Hispanic, and Asian to name a few. Making our country great again is not about divide but how do we unite! I love America and each difference we have to offer. Let Freedom Ring!

Perhaps you snapped at your mate who was talking your ear off about things you truly weren't interested in. Perhaps you beeped your horn and gave a raunchy gesture to a wandering driver who cut you off. Even if the other individual was out of line, you're responsible for yourself. Whatever you do, you're responsible for your behaviors. If your children are feisty, your mate unreasonable, your colleague unbearable, you're a...

Self-awareness in the Eye of the Storm

True acceptance of ourself doesn't mean dismissing your actions or motives, it means allowing yourself to see the path in which your behaviors are processed, motivated and acted upon. This is done without judgement from unrealistic self expectations of how we should think, process or act. The acceptance comes from a place that we are flawed and do make mistakes, not just now but always. This allows us to be OPEN to our perception of the world. Thus, creating a development model of growth. An example of such growth happens in a normal occurrence when possibly triggered by our significant other. Let's say they activate a reactive behavior within us after making us feel disrespected, less than or not worthy. This emotional response is subtle but ingrained in our inner narrative and defense mechanisms.   So now I have been triggered by my mate and I respond in an angry fashion, possibly making them feel less than with shame. Now we have two individuals triggered and communicating i...
