happiness
Happiness, defined; things that help you find happiness, keep it, and share it with others.
Time for Change
Everyone friends, if not family... No matter what... Doesn't matter what someone has done to you, nor what you have done to them. Love and forgiveness paired with understanding and humility can conquer close to anything we encounter in life.

Uncommon Knowledge, what's that?
Uncommon knowledge, is it uncommon if one knows it? How can one share uncommon knowledge if it is common to oneself? This is a debacle. This is contradictory! How can one assume the stage another Is at with information and knowledge based only of what is common to their own thoughts?

This Message Was Meant To Find You!
If you’re reading this right now, this message is meant for you. ...Got you to click on it, didn’t I? These seemingly personal, clickbait titles are what drew me into the alluring world of tarot card readings via the YouTube platform. Though I’ve always been a spiritual being at heart, tarot was admittedly never something I could quite wrap my head around.

From Dance To Soap
My whole life, I knew I wanted to start my own business. Ever since I can remember, I was always dreaming up new business ideas and crafting new things. Though the business model always changed, two themes were continuously present, dance and handcrafted items. I knew I wanted to be my own boss and I wanted to work with my hands and somehow bring dance into the model.

SOMEBODY
Mark Twain once said, "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

Hidden Treasures
Stories passed down from generation to generation oftentimes fall by the wayside. We don't put much creed into what some" old person" is saying in our day and age. I have learned over the years, though, that those "old people" as they are many times referred to are indeed a deep well of interesting facts and stories.

Love What You Do
The average life expectancy of a human being currently sits at around 79 years. Some of us are blessed with more days, whilst others aren't so blessed, and pass away earlier. Around 80% of people on average worldwide, at least go on to live to the age of 65, which we know to be the age of retirement here in Australia. So we have around an 80% chance of seeing out our working life at least, which are pretty good odds, made even better if we actually live our life maintaining a healthy diet and exercising regularly. So whilst we talk of statistics, it's then worth noting that around 80% of us will spend around 90,000 hours of our life working. Over the 79 years of our average life expectancy, that only equates to just 13% of our life, but when we take out 18 years of education, and the 14 years of retirement, that percentage jumps up to around 22%. Now all of a sudden we are talking about nearly 1/4 of our life being spent, during this time, at work. Let's go further again. We will factor in the average of around 6.5 hours sleep that adults have during this period, which will then take the total of our awake time to 30% spent at work. We could also factor in the amount of overtime we apply ourselves to, plus the number of hours we spend commuting, and all of a sudden we are nudging one third of our awake time, between the ages of 18 and 65, that we physically spend at work, or getting to and from work. That's quite a daunting thought really, made even worse for those who hate their job, or the work they do. Even that statistic is alarming, with nearly 9 out every 10 people worldwide, who work a job or business that they don't even like or enjoy. When we do something we don't enjoy, or we hate doing, naturally we are unhappy and dissatisfied. So if we summarize all this information above, that I have reeled off, basically, nearly 90% of people are going to spend one third of their life, between the ages of 18 and 65, unhappy and dissatisfied. It doesn't make for good reading, does it? It certainly doesn't make for a very rewarding and fulfilling life either. It's not that I'm just throwing up random statistics either, this is fact and reality.

Happiness
What is happiness and what does happiness mean? Well I think for everyone that looks different, my idea of happiness is different to yours but what happens when your idea of happiness suddenly changes? For instance I finally have a full time job working for the government, super stable it's good money, the work is good, the team is good. I'm in a better place financially now then I ever have been. I am about to graduate from university. In theory I should be happy, I have no reason not to be happy.

Spiritual Lessons From A Guarana High At The Airport
Jet engines rumbled the concrete floor. The stench of fuel permeated the air in slow, thick waves, resembling a mirage and adding to the dreamlike atmosphere. I slouched under an umbrella, pen in hand and scribbling on a notebook.

Becoming Organized by Managing Time
The extra hour we gain by springing forward into Daylight Savings Time is really a restatement of time, a clock adjustment, instead of making a 24-hour day into one of 25 hours. I always questioned that claim of an extra hour. We get more sun by the earth's rotation and other planetary vibes, instead of from some old-time agrarian concept of helping farmers have more time to plant in the Spring, which is what the history of Daylight Savings Time truly is. However, this 2021 spring forward in time holds a lot of promise to getting 1 hour closer and faster into a post-Covid-19 world. So, I am embracing Daylight Savings Time this year with new meaning and vigor. I have defined this time-organizing self-awareness into 2 categories: 1) Pandemic Time and 2) Cardinal Time.
