Finding the lessons in challenging situations and adversity feed self-determination; the process by which a person controls their own life. Self-determined people are creators, not merely consumers or passengers on this wonderful journey called life.
Think Like The Universe
The universe is infinitely energetic and creative. Look around you and smell the roses. The magnificence is astounding.
If we choose to seek out the positive, that’s what we will see; that is what we will get. We might be passengers when it comes to how governments make decisions about the management of a challenging situation and are expected to go with the flow.
Some of those decisions may sit well in our thinking, others may not. It’s up to us to create conditions that serve us not hinder our progress to whatever we wish to achieve.
A Higher Perspective
If we allow it, it’s so easy to be sucked into the ebb and flow of situations and drift into stormy waters. Yet we have the power to see things from a higher perspective and that leads to the positive path.
- What would you see if you were a bird flying above the world?
- Opportunities or challenges?
If we choose to soar above the challenges and look for opportunities with positive eyes, new perspectives become available. When we have a new perspective, innovative solutions are born.
Energy Magnets
In this energetic universe, we energize everything to us. The Good, Bad and The Ugly. We get what we want, our thoughts are supercharged bolts of energy. Energy cannot be created or destroyed; positive or negative, it simply changes form based on what we think. Everything emerges from thought.
Think about an amazing invention. At some point it started with a thought, and more thoughts grew into something incredible. We all have this creative power and unlimited supplies of ideas, it’s not reserved for Einstein et al. Everything we need is held in our consciousness, it’s up to us to energize it into being.
A Wind Gone Down
Letting go of the difficulties of the past, debilitating cultural codes or social beliefs enables the creation of a desired life. You are the only one who can create the life you desire and deserve.
“I tell you the past is a bucket of ashes.
I tell you yesterday is a wind gone down,
a sun dropped in the west.
I tell you there is nothing in the world
only an ocean of tomorrows,
a sky of tomorrows”. Carl Sandberg
Manifesting Your Desires
See what you want as fact. You have it already. See it, smell it, touch it. It’s just waiting in the wings for you to bring it onto your stage into absolute fact. Of course, there will be work involved, success is not a free ticket, but a healthy positive attitude will attract what you want. Your superpower is in your thoughts. Remember to remember to choose the positive.
It’s up to you to reach for the stars and find one with your name on it.
Spread your wings and fly!
If we recognize and praise everything positive in our world, negativity and discord dissolve. Time becomes an ally and there is time for everything.
Harmony, balance and discord are an inside job. Cooperating with them proactively feeds the seeds of success.

Hey Steve
I’ll start by saying I love the background color of your page.
“Everything emerges from a thought” That’s true, and we are cocreators with the universe. Our consciousness is the garden upon which our seeds/thoughts are grown and vitalized and are therefore weaved into the web of our subconscious mind which are then brought into existence through our actions. Haha, I don’t even know if I’m making any sense. Nonetheless,I’ve enjoyed
reading your great article. Keep them coming.

Thank you Maggie. Your comments make a lot of sense. Thanks for liking the color, the white that was seemed a little bland. Your comment starting, “Our consciousness . . .” is inspired. Wonderful. Thank you for stopping by. Always more to follow.
Best
Steve
