I’ve long subscribed to the idea that thoughts become things, meaning any manifestation that happens in our physical lives is first born in that space between our ears. Even though I know this is true, sometimes as I’m going about the trials and tribulations of everyday life I tend to get temporary amnesia.
Many of you might remember that I ordered my Tesla Model 3 about a week ago.
Imagine my surprise when I opened my Facebook Memories and saw this post from March 31, 2016.
I didn’t remember posting this on Facebook in 2016 and instantly got shivers up and down my spine. This particular goal took six years to achieve. Now, let's be clear, it’s not like all you have to do is think about something and it’ll come true. You have to put in the work as well but what a great reminder to be mindful of the thoughts we entertain. Affirmations and the human mind are indeed a powerful thing; it's important to use them both wisely.
"Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny." - Mahatma Ghandi
As I'm doing my research I'm finding that switching from a traditional car to an electric vehicle requires quite a bit of forethought. One little detail with the Tesla that I wasn't aware of is the app allows you to name your car. So far my ideas are either quicksilver or silver ghost. Both are a little lame because the car is more grey than silver. Hopefully I'll come up with better options before my delivery day.
Have you recently bought an electric vehicle? If so, I’d love to hear how it’s working out for you. Feel free to share any helpful tips you can think of.

Poetry should move us, it should change us, it should glitch our brains, shift our moods to another frequency. Poetry should evoke feelings of melancholy, whimsy, it should remind us what it feels like to be in love, or cause us to think about something in a completely different way. I view poetry, and all art really, as a temporary and fragile bridge between our world and a more pure and refined one. This is a world we could bring into creation if enough of us believed in it. This book is ephemera, destined to end up forgotten, lingering on some dusty shelf or tucked away in a dark attic. Yet the words, they will live on in memory. I hope these words become a part of you, bubble up into your memory when you least expect them to and make you feel a little more alive.
Pick up a copy of Ephemera today on Amazon.
Most of us have experienced a moment of perfect peace at least once in our lives. In these moments we lose ourselves and feel connected to everything. I call these mindful moments. Words can’t describe how complete they make us feel.
These moments are usually fragile, evaporating in seconds. What if there was a way to train your mind to experience more of them? It’s deceptively easy and requires nothing more than a subtle shift in mindset. My new book, Mindful Moments, will teach you to be much more content despite the chaos and imperfect circumstances continuing to unfold around you. Upgrade your life experience today for only $15.99 on Amazon.com.
Let’s Keep In Touch
