Today, become a vessel of receiving what’s most important…

Ok, so, we finally got the new promotion at work. We finally got the best new dance title. We married the perfect knight in shining armor. We made 4 new friends. We finally have that perfect figure we’ve always dreamed of…….

We just bought…

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…

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…

Faith is vital for managing the challenges of our everyday existence. Low self-esteem reflects one’s lack of faith in oneself as well as in the powers of the unseen world.” –Dr. Caroline Myss

At present, we define healed as the opposite of needy. Therefore, to be healed means to be fully self-contained, always positive, always happy, always sure of oneself, and never needing anyone.

No wonder few ever consider themselves…

We are all meant to be happy, and we will find that happiness.  But we first have to tap into our own source of happiness and well being.  The person you see that is always so full of joy has already found their true source and is able…

When people are certain about themselves and openly express that certainty, why do we hate them?

When we have feelings of disdain, jealousy and envy towards another person, we are experiencing feelings of hatred, and possibly for no reason.

Today is a good day to just replace hatred for no reason with love for no reason. Love…
