As a heavy thinker and a constant processor of information in life, I feel like I'm constantly in a maze trying to make my way through. Searching for an understanding of feelings, choices, values. It all feels like this grand puzzle... And I never seem to be out of the woods. The woods continue to…
"I'm trying to think of the right thing to say..." Those lyrics, from the song "Passionfruit" by Drake, played in my ears as I had the idea to talk about the importance of response. Pretty fitting! I have spoken a lot about the value I place on words. With that, much of that value is…
As I maneuvered through my day a few days ago, my phone buzzed in my pocket. I gazed at my phone with a soft smile and a warmed heart - I was notified by WordPress that I have reached over 10,000 views of my blog here (in over 60 countries), "Nelson Searcy's Thought Sharing". When…
I bounce back and forth when I think about the idea of everything having meaning. So many little things in life pass me by and I don't see them as important. However, lately, I have been trying to take all of these little things, along with the big things, into account. I am trying to…
I am amazed by many things in life. I would consider myself an emotional reflecter. A thoughtful creature destined for amazement by life. But it usually comes after the moment.

I haven't blogged since February 23rd, 2022. During that time, I always plan to make time for a post once per week. When that time has come, I have found myself fairly empty of guided thoughts or feelings. I used to really judge myself when this would happen - "How do you have nothing to…
It's hard to always be open. Keeping lines of communication available as you work to process what life is throwing at you is a lot. However, it's important. It is important in order to function within each moment of the day. We should let our inward emotions and thoughts come out (in the right ways)…
When I was younger, I remember a poster in my school classroom with a quote about the value of integrity. It was describing how integrity stands as "what you do when no one is watching." I also view integrity as valuing your actions. When we make choices to do something, are we proud of what…
I always have goals. I always see ways I feel I can improve for myself and for others. However, I oftentimes reserve those ways to be geared towards improvement for the world around me and for others. I oftentimes don't know what I truly want for myself. Beyond the basic feelings of joy, contentment, peace...…
I always struggle when it comes to right and wrong. Not in determining what each of them are, but getting caught up in always having to make the "right" decision. Just putting pressure on always making the "right" choice. It's funny because I almost always know what is "right" in my mind. Despite this, I…
