We all have a role to play in the lives of the people around us. Because we are all connected, our highest dreams and visions are also connected.
We all have a role to play in the lives of the people around us. Because we are all connected, our highest dreams and visions are also connected.
The life we create, day by day, is based on our hopes and dreams. However, our dreams also include the nightmarish stories we tell ourselves about the future.
Lighting up our heart with love can make the darkness disappear in our life and the lives of those around us.
What we listen to, and what we pay attention to, shapes our experience of life. And this includes the chatter going on in our head.
Animals (humans included) all have instincts... Our instincts alert us to danger, and inspire us to go where there is something wonderful awaiting us.
If we start off with the thought that we won't succeed at something, the Universe responds to what we say and think, and interprets that as a request...
I think that "sweet and sour" is an apt description for life... some sweetness mixed in with some sour.
Life can feel chaotic with its many stresses and challenges. However, when we maintain a peaceful perspective, things flow much more smoothly.
One of our assets is previous knowledge and experience. That experience of previous relationships is all part of the tools we have to use in our day-to-day encounters.
When we choose to connect with the better angels of our nature, our inner self, we can tap in to a source of bliss and creativity.
The more we remember who we truly are -- Love -- the better and happier our life will be.
At times, we can be our worst enemy. We do this mostly through the thoughts we harbor in our mind. We often project our doubts and fears on others, assuming that...
As we develop friendships and loving relationships, we discover that others do love us for who we are, quirks and all. They are not as judgmental towards us as we, perhaps, are to ourselves.
In order to be at peace with ourselves, we need to be at peace with those around us. An angry and agitated person cannot be at peace with themselves, whatever the cause of their stress.
When we resist what is, we dig in our heels and end up stagnant, stuck in place. However, when we pay attention to the direction Life is flowing, we often discover pathways that we had not seen...
Creating space and time for stillness in our life allows our soul to connect to the essence of inner peace.
Even on the darkest day when the clouds seem to be everywhere, the sun is always present, up behind the clouds. The sun is always there, even when we don't see it.
Life can be confusing. At times, we are not sure where we are headed, or if we are headed in the right direction, or even how to get to where we desire to be.
We learn to live life in balance, accepting that there are ups and downs, moments of extreme joy and extreme pain, moments of love and times where love seems absent.
"You can either paint a dark picture of life -- or choose a brighter, happier palette..."
Of all the questions, this one is the most important: What's the most loving choice?
One of the things that stops us from following our guidance,or living our dream, is fear. Whether it's fear of...
The greatest guide we have is our heart. It can help get us out of whatever messes we have created, and guide us to be a "best version" of ourselves.
