A day ago I went out with my new friend to see a movie. In one of the scenes, the actress admitted to her inability to finish what she starts, as she never had in the past. She went on and on about how her life is a mess and how she was lost and drowning because she could not seem to complete any task, any goal. This triggered an overwhelming response in me; a light bulb…

Why is the world like it is today?  It is because we are like we are today.

Every disaster we experience in life is a collaboration of all the thoughts, words, deeds, feelings of everyone in the world.  The world is a complete representation of who we are, and the world cannot change unless we change.  We are the reasons behind disasters.  When we point a finger to blame, there are three more pointing back at us.…

“The ideas that have lighted my way and, time after time, have given me new courage to face life cheerfully have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth.” — Albert Einstein

It’s never that hard to express Kindness to someone.  All it takes is a quick smile of “hello”, or simply holding the door for the person behind you.  Kindness can be expressed in a million different ways every single day; as there is no shortage of kind things…

Why is it so difficult [i.e. such a pain- in the you know what] for us to stop for just one minute to offer someone a smile of welcome? Why is it so difficult to express a nice word of appreciation? Why is it so difficult to speak positive words of encouragement to someone? Why is it so difficult to offer a helping hand to someone in need?

Our egos are our greatest downfalls, and yet we…

“In life, we all need a hero. Someone who is able to conquer the world if they have to. But, why is the hero not ourselves?” — Penna

Are you the victim or the hero? When you are the hero you are taking full responsibility for your life, and not blaming others for whatever circumstances arrive. If you are the master of your domain, then you are in the driver’s seat of your whole entire being. You…

“When you are full of joy, your whole entire being radiates it. It’s inescapable, because it’s effects are rubbed off onto everyone you come into contact with.” — Penna

Do whatever it takes today to find your joy, your inner bliss. Living in joy is the only way to successfully survive. And, if someone wants to truly live, why would they choose any other state of being besides joy?

Being joyous is the highest form of vibrational…

Every waking moment of our lives presents us with the possibility of hurting or offending someone. Everyone has different comfort levels, and your idea of offense is based on your individual boundaries.

Most of the time, people unintentionally hurt or offend others. This is why we have to learn to forgive. We do things all the time without completely realizing any damages we cause. If our offense towards others is unintentional, what makes us think that the…

“The reality of something happening in your life is all a matter of whether you are plugged into it or not.” — Penna

Anything that exists today has to exist in the mind first. The only way something can happen in your life is if you are plugged into it or not. What are you plugged into? If you are plugged into a negative concept or perception, then negativity for you will exist. But, if you are…

“It is fear that makes us want to take revenge on others, instead of allowing the Universe to do the work for us. We fear that the person will not feel the pain and humiliation that we felt during the injury. But, rest assured, justice is always served.” — Penna

We have to forgive the humiliation in order to see things, people and situations clearly. There are several reasons why we find it difficult to choose love…

“Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.” — Og Mandino

As we advance on our journeys- by broadening our horizons, expanding our consciousness, digging deeper for knowledge and wisdom, we will discover just how strong enough we are to surmount any task thrown at us. We are the heroes of our journeys!

During our tumultuous turbulent journeys we’ve faced so many obstacles, stumbling blocks, shut doors, dead end roads, painful events,…
