Do small things
“It is easy to sense and embrace meaning when life is on track.” – Anne Lamott But where to you go in the midst of chaos, and evil, and catastrophe? Where do you go when driven crazy by noise and distraction, and people, and the meteoric speed of life? Where do you go when tripped up by difficulties with families, relationships, and your own sense of self? You reach inside and gather the strength to do small things. Do small things with love. And in doing so you light a candle within. A candle of hope, of change, of starting anew. Let today, and tomorrow, and the next day, become your opportunity to do small things. To light …

It’s about the journey
“All paths up are different. All paths down are the same.” – Hugh MacLeod The path to your dreams is revealed – and becomes manifested – through your discipline, your habits, your daily persistence and action. Everyone’s path is unique. But the deviation, the departure, from that path follows common themes: getting caught up in pride about achievements, getting stuck in

Spiritual Poem: Holy Communion
I felt like sharing this beautiful poem on Christmas because I think it is a wonderful reclaiming of a core religious practice. For many people, communion has been denuded of its deeper meaning, it's greater divinity. But my student, Jackie, brings this term back to us and renews it with the depth of her loving awareness. In this poem, we have a chance to see that communion is in essence a "coming into union" with the divine, and we can have that sacred connection within ourselves at any moment.To enjoy more of her poems as well as

Dare to Change Today
In her seminal work, Our Inner Conflicts, Karen Horney said that behind the fear of change is often the fear of changing for the worst or the fear of being unable to change at all. What if I try to change and no one likes the new me? What if I try to change and

Full Body Workout Routine Helps To Stay Fit and Healthy
Staying fit and healthy are both goals that many people want to obtain in their lives. Although it may be easy to say about wanting to be healthy and fit, it is actually quite challenging to making that goal come true. Since Rome was not built in a day, a healthy and fit body is also not made over night. It takes hard work, time, dedication and a lot of effort and determination in getting that dream body that everybody wants. If you want to be on your way to a healthy journey, then you should consider trying a full body workout routine…

Humility and the Prideful Intellectual Ego
I've spent a lot of time talking about the qualities of love, patience, and even faith, but I don't think I've spent too much time writing about humility. Humility is often a misunderstood trait. Too often it becomes false humility where the person abdicates their personal power or their knowing about life and themselves. Otherwise, humility is considered a kind of weakness by the ego, which thinks it needs to declare itself as amazing …

Selfishness Vs Selflessness
Everyone is selfish.Even selfless people who do selfless stuff are selfish, they only do it because it makes them feel good, or because they believe it will make them feel good later.That’s not a bad thing though, it’s just a fact, we were programmed to be selfish. We probably wouldn’t have survived if we weren’t.The fact that we’re all selfish, even selfless people, makes me look differently at selfish people.They’re driven by the same forces that make selfless people act selflessly. It’s not any different from how straight people…

The Key to Happiness and Success
I believe I have found the key to happiness and success and it can be observed first hand in millions of homes and children’s hearts this holiday season. The key is to be like a kid on Christmas morning – Thankful for the gifts you have received and optimistic and excited about the new gifts that are coming your way. It starts with being grateful. When you are grateful for the gifts in your life, big and small, you always seem to find more things to be grateful about. That’s why abundance will flow into our life when gratitude flows out of our …

Empowering Belief Systems
What kind of beliefs are truly empowering? Which ones will help us to reach our goals and succeed in improving the quality of our life? The answer is simple really, belief systems that empower us to make positive changes. This would include beliefs that allow us to change how we feel about things, and those that allow us to change our own behavior. Beliefs and perception Feelings and behavior define who we are as a person. Most of the time our behavior is just the outward manifestation of our feelings, and our feelings are a reflection of how we view things through …

Take the challenge
“If it doesn’t challenge, you won’t change.” The life of comfort and safety leads to personal atrophy – the wasting away of your abilities and potential, the diminished capacity to make a difference in your life, and the lives of others. You grow because you step out, take risks, and stress yourself. You grow because you decide to attempt, to try harder, to change and enable yourself to manifest your dreams. When you choose safety, when you choose not to grow, you fade into the background, you blend into the wallpaper of life. Make a

Choosing Your Battles
In unhealthy relationships, what we are fighting about is never really what we’re fighting about. That argument over which way the toilet paper hangs is probably more about a “meta” issue: power, balance, control and unresolved issues with others in our lives (usually our early caretakers). In order to break the “let’s fight about everything
