How do you know when it’s time to leave a relationship? I’m not just talking about a marriage. I’m talking about any relationship with anyone; rather it’s a boyfriend, girlfriend, broker, best friend, colleague or classmate.

I’d like to talk about a relationship I had with a teacher. I enrolled into two of his classes and instantly trusted him. I saw him as an authority figure, charismatic, trustworthy, honest and someone that could really help me. Why-…

Most of the time I go places to support them. Either financially, or just volunteering my time. I go to places to help them out tremendously. I try to bring my friends along, and try to give them all the support they need. I am their support team.

But, then, there will be those people that I try to help out that will pick on me, gossip about me, turn others against me, incite a war against…

I just moved into my new home over the weekend.  And, the most tiring of the whole move was getting rid of all my unnecessary junk.  Who would’ve thought that dumping my garbage would be so much work?  Why was cleaning out my closet the most draining experience?  I am overwhelmed with how much lighter and happier I feel.  I’m even more amazed at how much junk I had to throw away.  I feel like I’m living…

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…

It is important the choices that we make today because they are necessary in how we shape tomorrow.  As we advance in our lives, the consequences of our choices become mightier and mightier, and whatever choices we make become more important to our everyday creativity- because they are what we ultimately create.  Our thoughts make our choices for us, so whatever we think about is what we become.   Who would’ve thought we create our own realities?

One of the essential keys to happiness is growth. How do we grow?

We grow by constantly improving and extending ourselves, continuously being of service to others, doing small acts of kindness at all times, giving charity, taking risks, doing the unexpected, giving fully of ourselves …

The quickest way to grow is to always be in appreciation of life. Being grateful, and having appreciation for everything and every person and every situation is fundamental to personal…

Someone once said to me that saying you’re sorry does not take away the pain that it may have caused someone. What you have to do is go into yourself- to the root cause of that behavior that caused the pain- and eradicate that trait completely. Snatch it out! Get behind the real reasons of why you chose to react that way. Search yourself.

Ok, so now we know that saying “I’m sorry” does not take away…

“The difference between a moral man and a man of honor is that the latter regrets a discreditable act, even when it has worked and he has not been caught.” –H. L. Mencken

Have you ever taken actions against someone without a second of a thought?  And, have you ever thought back on your past and regret those very actions that you took?

Or, perhaps, regret past words that you may have blurted out- without first thinking…

We’ve all been caught up in situations that we thought rendered us powerless, or helpless. At the time we just could not recognize our own strengths. We believed that everyone else had all the answers, and we never thought to look for them within ourselves. We depended on someone else to give us hope, or a smile.

Why do we need something or someone else to help us feel powerful?   Why don’t we feel strong on…

Last week, I explained why having balance (yin and yang) is essential to obtaining success (i.e. desires).  This week, I’d like to go into detail about the importance of having desires. (It is probably best to go back and read last week’s article The Balancing Act.  You may also want to go back and read the articles Coming to Terms, and 4 Ys, as well).

Quoted from 4 Ys: It all starts with yen, a great desire.
