One way we can use to answer our questions is to check with our body: what is my body trying to tell me?

When you find yourself struggling in some form or an other, take a few minutes and ask yourself if there's another way,  a gentler way, a more balanced way.

Once we set our intention to be a loving person and live a loving life, we may be challenged on our decision...

"When one door closes, another door opens". This holds the essence of the beauty of life. There is always...

First, we learn to love and respect ourselves, and then we can turn that around and love and respect others.

The first step is to refuse to be blocked by the events around you, and then take charge of the situation.

Humans have a tendency to focus on what they don't desire. We say things like: I can't find my keys. In this example, we're not asking for a solution, we're making a statement. 

We are never alone on this journey of life. There is help available at every turn.

Be open to discovering the gifts life is offering you -- expect silver linings and rainbows, be on the look-out for them, and be grateful when they show up.

Inspiration is everywhere, everywhen, and everyhow. Inspiration is not available only for the "special ones" and the mystics. It is always present for all of us through all our senses.

Sometimes the hardest thing for us to do is to be open to the flow of life. That's rather counter-intuitive, and counter-productive, because being...

We are born as a 100-watt light-bulb. Then our radiance was dimmed down to 60 or 40 or 10 watts by life's experiences and the people we encountered.

Our approach to life is based on our attitude about the past, present and future. Stress and pain are created by our fear of change, our need to hang on to things as they were, or our insistence on...

The US Declaration of Independence says we have the right to pursue happiness. However, I don't think we should pursue happiness. We have to...

We have to be willing to aim high for what we desire, whether that is in the realm of relationships, work, money, living situation, etc.

We are constantly being bombarded by other people's thoughts, desires, and projections. The advertising industry, in all its forms, specializes in mass manipulation -- trying to convince us that we just can't live without something or the other.

Are we our greatest friend or greatest enemy? We can only answer this question by observing our behavior.

We have hopes and dreams, and possibly even grandiose visions for our future. However, when it comes down to it, are we really ready for those dreams to manifest? Do we even believe they are possible?

Whatever our goal, whatever our vision, there is always a next step. And that is sometimes where we get bogged down. Either because we don't know what the next step needs to be, or because we see too many steps to take or too many possibilities...

Many of us on the "spiritual path" are quite willing to give of ourselves, but have a harder time accepting what we need... whether that is love, assistance, generosity from others, compliments, blessings in all forms. 

We all have various wants and needs. And the things you need are not necessarily the same as the things you want.

Our time seems in short supply, even though we still have the same amount of time we've always had each and every day -- 24 hours. 1440 minutes, or 86,400 seconds. What has changed is our use of that time.

In order to be true to ourselves and to our life's path, we must be ourselves in all our quirkiness, our strangeness, our individuality.
