I believe part of the reason for feeling big feelings like joy and pain, are so that you can have empathy for other's experiences of them. … Continue reading Your Life

Heart
I believe that your heart is much more than a simple organ that pumps blood. I believe your heart is the center of your feelings. Why else do we feel emotional pain, and amorous love in our heart center? Why do we instinctively grab at our chests when we feel joy, fear, concern or pride? … Continue reading Heart
Vulnerable
We're all afraid to get hurt. And opening yourself up to feel your emotions can leave you wide open to get hurt. But closing yourself off prevents you from living. In order to experience life, and to get past painful experiences, we need to allow ourselves to be vulnerable to lead with an open heart. … Continue reading Vulnerable
Useful
You could say a lot. You could do a lot. But how much of it is useful? How much of it is just chasing your emotions and whims? We're blessed with these lives of ours, we can do whatever we want with them. But the thing is, our time is limited. Do you really want … Continue reading Useful
Intellect
A strong intellect is a powerful asset, but it's important to remember that people are emotional beings. Oftentimes it's best to honor your heart and pay attention to what your emotions are telling you in dealing with others.

Sometimes
Sometimes you'll feel pure bliss. Sometimes you'll be overwhelmed with dread. Sometimes you'll feel so excited to be living your life that you can't stand it.

Awareness
In order to transcend any difficult situation, you need to cultivate an awareness of what you're doing in the moment. Awareness brings you back into the present, and shows you that you are not your emotional responses, you are merely choosing them. From there you can realize you have the freedom to choose something else, … Continue reading Awareness
Inside Job
They say that happiness is an inside job. In other words, your happiness has to come from within yourself. It doesn't come from any external factor. It's not really a hard concept to accept. It's not even all that mystical, or woo-woo. Everything we experience comes from our mind experiencing it. Every emotion we feel … Continue reading Inside Job
Peace
The Dalai Lama says World Peace begins with Inner Peace. It all begins with you. How peaceful are you inside? There are so many things in the world to be angry over. So many things to judge. So much evil to hate. But those emotions do not bring peace to you, and will never bring … Continue reading Peace
Extraordinary Living
I have a treasured book of quotes from one of my heroes, Dr. Wayne Dyer, titled: You Are What You Think (365 Meditations for Extraordinary Living). Tonight I read his quote where he asked, "Are you part of the problem or part of the solution?" I can't help but wonder why we're not asking this … Continue reading Extraordinary Living
