We hurt others because we ourselves are hurting. But, that’s not as plain as day to us. We probably don’t realize that many of the reasons behind our not-so-pleasant thoughts, actions and behaviors have to do with some sort of pain that we’re feeling.

Even when we do mistreat someone, it doesn’t take our feelings of inadequacies away. When we try to make someone else fail, it still doesn’t make us win. When we belittle someone, it doesn’t…

We live in a world full of possibilities, so why do we limit ourselves? There are so many stories of people who have overcome obstacles, achieved massive wealth, regained health and happiness after major tragedies- that most people would regard as impossible. It’s only impossible if we see it as so. We only limit ourselves.

Today, find reasons why something can happen in your life, decide to live in a world of unlimited possibilities. Find your inner knowingness…

When we run to things, people and places to make us happy, we ultimately become self-destructive.  Because, once we give up those things, people and places- we are ultimately unhappy. True happiness is from within, it is a force that is never outside of us. We have to really get in touch with ourselves to find it.

Daily, I have a practice of asking myself (what would it take today for me to be happy?) Asking myself works…

We go through life trying to do and be the very best that we can.  We try so hard to reach our highest potentials.  And, then, some one or some situation comes along to show us that maybe we are not working on ourselves as much as we thought we have, or should be.

There was a stumbling block in the road.

Today, continue to always do and be the best that you can.  It’s always worth it when…

Are we always aware of the words that are coming from our mouths? Are we always in the present moment when we speak? Are we always conscious of what we are saying? I don’t think we are, because then we wouldn’t say half the things that we do.

Words have formidable power. Meaning, what we say can either really harm someone or really bring them light. What we say can either really tear someone apart, or really build…

Why do we find it so hard to face ourselves in the mirror?  I’m not talking about primping time, I’m talking about self-evaluation time.  It’s because we are afraid to look at what we need to change.  And, if we look hard enough, we will find that it’s very difficult to love ourselves.

Self-love sometimes is a life-long process.  But, the journey through self-love is there in the mirror image.

Today is always a great day to start a…

Things always get better in time.  Life is about forgiveness, and we should learn to forgive.  Many times we do and say things that we do not mean in heated situations, but it is the unpleasantries that we learn from the most.

That is why we forgive.  Things always get better in time.

Life is a process.  We have to change our lifestyles and grow up- at the same time.

Today is always better than yesterday.

We- a lot of the time- forget about loving and enjoying the abundance that we’ve already acquired in our lives. Even if we feel that it’s only small abundance, being grateful brings us more.

We can always find ways to be grateful for those very special people in our lives as well. Being grateful is a part of living a fully healthy and happy life.

Today, live your life. Love who and what you already have, and find appreciation…

It’s always impossible to remember the positive over the negative in any situation.  Why is that?

You know, they’ve done studies to show that people can always remember the negative aspects of others, but never the positive.  Why do we choose to see only the negative?

I personally think it is a fear mechanism.  We choose to believe that people have negative intentions.

The truth is, most people have positive intentions.  Most memories are positive memories– if we see positivity. …

A lot of people are stuck in their ways and hell-bent on having things their way. They feel that their way is the only way. That’s true, because it is the only way — for them. It is their way.

Their way works best for them because they have the confidence and belief in their causes to be able to manifest life as they see fit.

Today, instead of having it their way, have it your way! Seek out the confidence…
