Living life as it comes
Over the years, I’ve had no problem talking to others about their deep, real life problems, and giving advice to them based on what I know about them and the life lessons I’ve had. This blog has even been a natural outgrowth of this sentiment. And it’s a lovely sentiment, I give people this advice because I care about them and want them to be empowered, happy and healthy. But you really shouldn’t be just listening to me and doing what I suggest. Let me explain.
Why hello, and welcome back to the Thoughts that Bind. Now last time, we covered our tagline, “In pursuit of a better life”. If you haven’t read that post yet, I suggest that you do, because this one will be based on that.

Ever since the beginning of this blog, I’ve considered only one tagline: in pursuit of a better life. I plastered it on my site, even put it on a t-shirt. But now I’m starting to think maybe it’s time for a change. Let me explain.

Oooh, confrontational title, right? What are we going to be saying today? Well, I think that we may be using social media in ways that are ultimately ruining our happiness.
Now, I know this is actually not a new subject. It’s not edgy for me to be saying this and it’s not going to garner a lot of surprise or disagreement, but I’m going to cover it anyway. The reason for this is that I have recently had my very own epiphany on this subject, and if you haven’t, then maybe I can help illuminate something for you too.

There are some people who thrive on tradition. They seem to get a big sense of place, purpose, and identity from tales of yesteryear. And without traditions, they’re left not knowing what to do.

Recently on the Thoughts that Bind, we talked about beliefs, and more specifically, how to be free of the old limiting beliefs that weigh you down in life. And if that subject interests you, you should go read that post by clicking here.
This week, we’re tackling belief from another perspective. In a sense, you may say it’s sort of a second step we take after changing our beliefs, but it has larger applications as well. That’s right, today we’re talking about coexisting with those who have different beliefs than you. The ups, downs and challenges that we face within this context are very important to address, especially following a conversation such as the one we’ve had about changing our beliefs. Because honestly, we should expect that there will be consequences to that.

Yes, you read that right! The Thoughts that Bind home office is packing up and moving cross county! My household has been preparing for this move for a while and while it’s still a little surreal, we are so excited to be navigating reality from a new location lens.
Continue reading “The transformational effect of moving”There are so many defining factors of you. Things that make you who you are, dictate how you act, and contribute to where you’re going to end up in life. And of course that’s the case. People are complex beings. You are a complex being.
