Self help, because you are your greatest asset.
Take The High Road
Okay, I'm going to admit that emotional control is not one of my strong points. It's one of the reasons why I have become so active and engaged in personal development and mindset training, over these past few years, as I know I need to continue working on better controlling my emotions. I still lack that mental strength to control my emotions when someone gets under my skin, like most of us do. It's hard to just sit back and allow someone to throw a heap of unwarranted criticism or verbal abuse at us, without responding in frustration and defending ourselves. We listen to some things they say, or we hear gossip they spread about us, or we read certain comments they write on social media, and it annoys us, because we know it's untrue and unfair. Naturally, we arc up, respond, and become defensive. We stand up for ourselves, and that's fine, but we too often forget that those who love to criticize, judge, ridicule, mock, and attempt to emotionally hurt us, are in fact dealing with mental scars of their own. Because their life is unfulfilling, unsatisfying, miserable, and void of success, they seek an outlet to take out their frustrations, and that can quite often be us. The problem with them is they lack the willpower, motivation, and courage, to pursue their own goals, to create a life of their desire, and instead spend their time whinging and complaining about how life is so unfair, blaming other people or circumstances for their unhappiness in life. In summary, these people are just brimming with negativity, and when someone is constantly negative, they are ultimately toxic to others, especially you and I!

Enter the Void
Nature is a compass. A book told me that. Plants grow towards the light – phototropism – therefore, if the Sun rises on the East, trees bend to that direction. I think, I ought to check whether the willow tree is tending towards the light when I finish in the library. For the following few hours, I continue to read. More reading equates to more knowledge. With extended knowledge, I ensure everything I desire. I want to finish every book in the library.

Grimoire
Grimoire Grimoire. A book of power; a battery if you will. Locked within its bindings breathes magic and with it the possibility to alter reality to your will. Some may call it a myth, others a fantasy but they truly don’t understand that all reality is malleable. It can be changed in an instant and none would notice. That is the power of magic.

To All The Past “Me”s
To me, age 8: Don’t listen to her, she doesn’t actually know who you are or who you will want to be. Find ways around all of the arbitrary rules you get caught up in to do the things you want to do. Trust me, they exist. I know, I know — rules are there for a reason, you’ve got to follow them. But honestly… you usually don’t. It’s easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

If my Spiritual Guides could speak
Matthew’s hair is disheveled, dark circles under his eyes. His droopy face is in the palm of his hands. With his wand, he’s making circles and different shapes of light. Mary is blowing bubbles of light and popping them. Both are sitting with their backs touching, engrossed in their activities, looking gloomy.

Most Effective Techniques To Improve Your Self-Confidence
It’s all about how you see yourself in the presence of others. Your confidence level defines your personality. Self-confidence also brings about greater happiness. Commonly, when you are assured of your abilities you are happier due to your successes. When you are feeling higher about your talents, the more energized and prompted you are to take action and obtain your desires.

The Message
Josh sat at his dining table trying to make sense of his latest frustrations. He poured into his journal, the words coming out a sloppy mess. As he began to re-read it all of course it sounded ridiculous to be so worked up about it. He started to see some humor in his dad making the usual idiotic comments about his weight and occupation. He kicked himself for letting it get under his skin, what did it matter his dad’s opinion? ‘I am allowed to have my own values and live my own life!’ He said to himself. He started a new page in the little black book.

This Little Black Notebook's Curse
_This Little Black Notebook’s Curse _ “This is me, my most authentic self! This is me, my most authentic self! This is me, and I can do this, because I am!” Autumn Moon tells herself repeatedly, as she walks through the heavy glass, double-doors of the tiny, dusty, you-will-miss-it-if-you-blink bookstore, that is nestled between several other small shops, located within the historic buildings of downtown Caldwell, Idaho. This same mom-and-pop-owned bookstore, that Autumn has walked by and into every day for the past five years. Her mother, a Psychic, has owned her own small metaphysical shop, just next door. Also, where Autumn has worked through blood, sweat and tears - alongside her mom - in hopes to help her struggling mother, Gypsy, to financially keep the doors open, so they may keep teaching classes to crisis centers, and their community members.

What I Learned From 12 Years of Journalling
Many of us received a notebook of some kind as a gift when we were young and decided to start journaling. In my case, it all started when a little 9-year-old me got a journal for her birthday and decided to write about how she was feeling. From that moment on, I was hooked on the idea of writing in my small blue notebook every day, and so I started journaling.
