Why I Am Grateful for Teething Babies and Ear Cleaning - Manifestation & Law of Attraction Story
This is a story in which you will learn how to begin manifesting your truest desires right this minute. Before I begin this story, I want you to know a key behavior you must practice to allow your mind, body, and soul to be open to receiving that which you have always desired. This behavior will allow your mind, body, and soul to settle in a state of peacefulness and ease so that it is easier for you to mentally focus and attract your desires. You can start with this behavior right now! You do not need to purchase anything. You do not need to be a certain race, economic class, social class, or meet a specific guideline to begin manifesting your desires right now! This behavior is the act of being grateful. Even if you are currently living a life that you can't stand, you must think about something simple that you can be grateful for. For example, if you are currently not experiencing life in the perfect body shape that you want and desire, do not focus on that which you do not have yet. However, you must focus and then feel grateful for something you actually do have. Maybe it's a substantial home you live in, a special talent you have, or the career you have. Once you have at least one thing you can be grateful for, focus on the emotion you feel when you think of it. Do you feel happy, excited, or special? These emotions are very important to recognize because it is another essential tool you will use when manifesting your desires. I will write more articles that speak in-depth how to manifest, for beginners, how to use the Law of Attraction to gain into your life that which you want most.

America's Horrifying Beauty Standards
I find America’s beauty standards absolutely horrifying. If you’re wondering why, just look around you! There are multiple examples walking around today. Have you heard the phrase, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder?” Well, in today’s society, it has changed to, “Beauty is in the eye of who society as a whole perceives as beautiful.” It seems as if society decides who is beautiful and who is not beautiful. Society holds high expectations for men and women to be called beautiful or handsome.

Is It a Crutch or a Tool?
Is it a crutch or a tool? Sometimes we find ourselves relying on things to help us accomplish tasks or goals. But do we really need to? If it is something that is helping make you better then it is a good tool that truly helps you, however if it is allowing us to be lazy, or not improve, or stagnate it is a crutch and needs to be discarded.

What Are Your Intentions?
Most people believe their life is like a feather in the wind. They have no control over their destiny. What if I tell you that is not true? What if I tell you that whatever you think of that you want in your life it can come into reality?

How to Quit Bad Habits Through the Simulated Future
Your mind is a simulation machine, and if used correctly can help you quit bad habits. Simulating the future of an outcome we don't want can help us associate pain with not changing our behaviors. Pain can be a positive tool that can be used to help us improve our lives if done correctly. I'd like to walk you through this exercise now. To get the most out of this exercise, it's best to ponder each question deeply when I ask it. Let's begin.

Change the Viewfinder
There are always going to be dark days & negativity, unfortunately that is just for some reason the current trend, it is like a pre-determined part of growing up in this day and age, and I know it can seem that there is little you can do to avoid it. The bills keep dropping on the door mat, your car breaks down, your dog s!@#s on the carpet. These are just facts of life right?

Awakening
Too often we overlook our desires. We put off our dreams. We believe we have time. We postpone the things we've always wanted to do. We have doubts or simply don't have enough belief in ourselves. We weren't created to live a low-vibration life. Our body is our vehicle and we have to nourish it and attend to it the same way we would our mind, heart, and soul. Why stop there?

Reasons to Grow
It suddenly occurred to me that terms like self-development, self-growth, inner work and so on - can be misunderstood by many as if they imply lack of self-love and contradict my whole emphasis on it. No, no - wanting to grow has nothing to do with you being less than or you not loving yourself. The opposite is true - once you get a taste of evolving, it will become obvious that there's nothing that screams self-love louder. Let me explain. There are two very distinct ways to look at changing yourself. First one - the one that comes to mind when we don't love and don’t value ourselves, goes something like this: "Something is wrong with me, I need to change that or nobody will love me, I don't feel I'm good enough so I need to do something about it." To be honest - a lot of us feel this way without ever admitting it to ourselves. But it is not the truth and hence nothing can be done about it except learning to love ourselves. Many might strive to improve their outer appearance or become more successful or to be liked by more people - whatever it takes to prove to themselves they are worthy. But the external validation never lasts, it is not about others - hence the term “self-love.” I wrote a post about self-love in more depth. In this current one, I want to discuss what happens when you succeed in it to some degree. First thing that comes to mind - you start to see beauty in the imperfection. Even if things appear messy - it is always up to us how to look at them and perceive ourselves and our life. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. The beauty of life and you living it goes way deeper than we have ever been told. Why? Because it is your personal journey of exploration and learning - mainly learning about yourself. It is widely accepted that what makes life worth living is what you have on the outside - good job, family, friends etc. Those things are important and are a big part of our human experience. But this is not why we are here. We are here to evolve. Spiritually. To grow and learn and transform our consciousness into higher levels. If this sounds too new agey, in other words - we are here to become the best version of ourselves.

2 Common Ways People Get Stuck
Let me start this off by saying I am a college student. I'm 19 years old, and pursuing a degree in history as well as studying archaeology. I've got a lot on my plate most days, and on top of all the reading, writing, and research, I struggle with depression and anxiety. I cannot tell you how many times I've woken up at 7:30 A.M. only to turn my alarm off, tell myself, "I just can't do this today..." and go right back to sleep. I cannot tell you how many times I've opened a book on a subject that I am fascinated by, read one page, and put it down, only to end up staring at the ceiling for twenty minutes wondering why I just couldn't understand the words in front of me. I am stuck.

The Millennial Entrepreneur
The year is 2018 and our world is becoming more driven by computerisation, automation, and connectivity every day. This means that consumers, employees, and disruptors who were once at the mercy of the autocracy of big business now have access to information at the snap of a finger and are well enough informed to have completely flipped the script.
