I would like to think that everyone wants to evolve to become a more conscious living being.\u00a0 That is what I would like to think.<\/p>\n

But honest to goodness\u2026 I’m not sure a lot of people give consciousness a second thought.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t mean to sound down trodden in any way.\u00a0 I DO believe a WHOLE BIG BUNCH of people care about gaining knowledge and becoming more sensitive to our surroundings.\u00a0 There are a lot of good souls working to make the Big Blue Ball\u2026 better and bouncier.<\/p>\n

Yet. It just seems like I bump into quite a few of the general population who are content to throw their McDonald\u2019s garbage out of the car window\u2026. just after washing down that Big Mac, and other delights\u2026 with a big old Super-sized Mountain Dew.\u00a0 A few miles down the road\u2026. they flip someone off for driving too slow.<\/p>\n

Here is the thing.\u00a0 I make mistakes all the time.\u00a0 Anyone who reads this know what a Schleprock I can be.\u00a0 But it is my daily Mantra to try to make the world a better place.\u00a0\u00a0 Somewhere, somehow.\u00a0 I\u00a0 dislike it\u2026 SO very much\u2026 when my actions show otherwise.<\/p>\n

Yes.\u00a0 I truly do what to evolve into a higher level of consciousness.\u00a0 I know a lot of people who are quite successful at it.\u00a0 Yet many of us find it difficult to do so. But\u2026. there are more than enough ways to expand your consciousness and become a \u2026. snappier YOU.\u00a0 Like\u2026 \u201cfront of the Wheaties-Box\u201d Awesome.\u00a0 (In fact\u2026 I read an article a couple of months ago\u2026 which listed like 50 different ways to improve.)<\/p>\n

Here are some of the suggestions, as I recall.
\nGet in touch with nature.
\nTell the truth.
\nTake time to meditate.
\nKeep an open mind.
\nDon\u2019t pee in the pool. ( Just wanted to see if you were paying attention)\u2026..
\nExpress gratitude.
\nSpeak compassionately.
\nListen more than you speak.<\/p>\n

With that said\u2026\u00a0\u00a0 I better quit talking.<\/p>\n

I can hear you now.<\/p>\n

There is just one life for each of us: our own.\u00a0 –\u00a0 Euripides<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

It’s wonderful when you can bring sparkle into people’s lives without fading away from your own true color. Keep the hue in you.\u00a0\u00a0 –\u00a0 Dodinsky<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The closest to being in control we will ever be is in that moment that we realize we’re not.\u00a0\u00a0 –\u00a0 \u00a0Brian Kessler<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
