Life is about change, transition, and evolution.  We see it in the seasons.  We see it in the cycle of life with birth and death. Perspective can create happy endings, and new beginnings during key times of transition, such as changing/losing a job, divorce, or moving. Nobody can change the past, so why not learn from it, embrace the experience, then let it go?  In any experience, good can be found.  Focus on what was good, what was learned, then let it go.  Close the door happily, so that you may look...

How resistant are you to change? How good are you just 'going with the flow'? Better yet, are you able to embrace change? Change happens all the time. In every moment, things are changing. Some changes are huge, some are small. Here's the secret, it's not the size of the change that matters, it's the resistance you create to the change that makes a change easy or difficult. The more difficult the resistance, the more difficult the change, regardless of size. Eckhart Tolle said "Accept-- then act. Whatever the present moment contains,...

It seems like everybody wants the same thing; a nice house, nice car, work that is enjoyable, a happy family.  What’s funny is that it doesn’t take that much more energy to create huge dreams and goals.  Each individual can be a world-changer if they really want.  No limits have been set.  There is no ‘glass ceiling’ on potential.  Why is it that we settle?  Why is it that we ‘let’ things happen, instead of ‘make’ things happen? Sure, there are things that change our plans, but why do we let...

All of us have a belief system that is heavily influenced by our environment (family, friends, culture, TV/Radio/Internet, etc.).  We eat the foods we eat, watch the shows we watch, do the things we do, based on who and what we’re around.  This makes our lives very limited, like the frog in the well, versus expansive, like the frog in the sea.  Life becomes truly adventurous and exciting when we learn to get uncomfortable, when we search for the unknown, and when we challenge our own belief system. Here are a...

Life is a precious gift, and how we choose to live it reflects how precious we value the gift of life and time. That’s not to say that to always be busy, filling our time, is the best use of time. In fact, just the opposite may be true. As an example, if you were to have a great meal, it would be much more enjoyable to be in the present, enjoy every bite, flavor, texture, scent, and taste of the food, instead of scarfing it down quickly. Many times...

Monotony is defined as “Lack of variety and interest; tedious repetition and routine.” There are many things we do on a daily basis that become habit, and sometimes even monotonous. There are some things that we have to do that we don’t even like doing. In our work and home routines, some things just have to get done. Additionally, there are things that we really want to conquer in life, yet they also get old and tiring. According to Malcolm Gladwell’s “Outliers,” becoming an expert takes doing something 10,000 times....
