“Only the shallow really know themselves.” — Oscar Wilde

The journey of consciousness, of mysticism, is to come to know yourself and your own motivations and intentions. Our shallow minds can only take us so far. In order to explore ourselves, get to know ourselves, get to know our own lives and what makes us tick- or makes us happy- we have to eventually break down (fall) and purchase a flight ticket to the island of “me”.…

All that matters today is if you are closer to reaching your highest potential. When I speak of highest potential, most people think of work, money, status. This is because our shallow minds can only perceive of “highest potential” being as such. But, your highest potential is your higher self.

Do whatever it takes today to reach a more perfected state of YOU. Do whatever it takes today to reach a level of heightened self-esteem. Do whatever…

“If you don’t think too good don’t think too much.” — Ted Williams

Thought is energy, and a very powerful force of energy. If you are not on the high vibrational frequency of positive thinking, then it is my suggestion to not think at all. Thoughts transmit signals into the universe, just like a prayer or a wish you would make. So, if you are thinking negative thoughts, then the universe will deliver to you exactly what…

We’ve often heard that making assumptions make and ass out of you and me, right? This is true in most cases. But, the world is built on assumptions. The reason is because the world is full of judgments. Assumptions are a part of judgments.

When we first meet someone and size them up, we begin to make assumptions about them. This is part of the natural human response to first meeting someone, and particularly why we should…

There is a boomerang effect to every thought we transmit, every word we speak, and every deed we perform. It’s known as the law of karma. When we react in even small ways, like cutting someone off in a bank line, or responding to someone in a sarcastic tone, or even being rude by snapping at someone or “rolling” our eyes, there is a boomerang effect to that. There is a karmic backlash. Even our thoughtless and…

Stay connected to the Source by being in control of your life. Controlling the game of your own life is the only way you will be master of your domain. Being the master of your domain means being the master of your life (i.e. being in the driver’s seat).

By being in the driver’s seat means that you are in full control of your situations in life. You are better able to make the best decisions; you…

“You can have such an open mind that it is too porous to hold a conviction.” — George W. Crane

When we are careless about our negativity towards ourselves, our environment and others, we are not on the frequencies of love. We are in fact sending out low vibrational frequencies into the universe, therefore keeping us low and falling. When we display dark emotions like fear, anger, jealousy, hatred, sloth, regret, depression and envy, we are low…

“When you search for truth that lies behind a door that is unyielding, just give that door a little knock. Knock, and the door shall be opened to you. Seek, and the truth will find it’s way to you.” — Penna

The problem with many of us is that we give up on life. We oftentimes don’t know how to find our stamina, our endurance. But, we have to keep going and find that fighter that lives…

The hardest promise to keep is the promise to oneself. It’s because we don’t really put value in our own relationship with ourselves, nor in our own opinions. We like to be followers, because following someone else or a group seems more acceptable, and [following someone] is the least responsibility. When we accept others as more acceptable than ourselves, we’ve really lost ourselves in the mix of our thinking. The real value of YOU exists within you.…

“As a daily practice, do whatever it takes to feel great about yourself. Heighten your self-esteem through the love, care and respect you give to yourself. Today is the perfect day to start putting in practice.” — Penna

In today’s high-paced, fast society full of shallowness and egotism, it’s a relief to admire yourself without the added drama of wanting or needing to prove yourself to anyone but yourself.

There is nothing wrong with loving yourself, feeling…
