Prayer doesn't have to entail a formal ritual. In fact, prayer is so natural that we all do it all the time. It's just that most of us don't realize we are. Prayer is simply a conversation with God, or a higher power, however you may define it. Even talking to yourself, or your inner … Continue reading Prayer

Introspection
To grow as a person, it's important to take time and reflect on who you are inside. With introspection comes personal growth, and that plus experience, leads to wisdom. Yet, for some reason or another, most of us do the opposite. We busy ourselves with all sorts of outside distractions. Focusing too much on what's … Continue reading Introspection
Courage
In order to enjoy your life, you need to show up for it. Sometimes that takes great courage to face the fears, obstacles and a whole gamut of emotions that may make your life seem chaotic. But you do need to face it all. Avoiding or denying can only prolong the misery. There are times … Continue reading Courage
Prayer
We have a connection to our inner wisdom, higher self, the Universe, God. We can communicate with it through prayer. The thing about prayer is, it isn't just a one-way presentation. Prayer can be a dialogue, you just have to allow the answer to come, and then receive it. The answer doesn't necessarily come back … Continue reading Prayer
Look Within
Look within. You are with yourself for every step. Every lesson learned, every achievement won, every dollar earned has come from you. Or more specifically it's come from what is within you. That spark that keeps your heart beating, blood flowing, and lungs breathing is found within. So, check in with it more often. Look … Continue reading Look Within
Inward
The peace and quiet that you're looking for can be found inward. The freedom you seek can be found inside yourself. The happiness and joy you're searching for can be found within. When you finally realize that no outward distraction, no external destination, and no outside source can give you what you're hoping for, then … Continue reading Inward
Knowledge
They say that knowledge is power. And it's true. Knowledge can equip you with anything you may need to get ahead in life. But knowledge cannot help you if you don't put it into practice. You can't just collect knowledge for it's own sake. You can't always live upstairs in your head. Believe me, I've … Continue reading Knowledge
Instincts
Trust your instincts. Your inner wisdom speaks to you, but doesn't always use words. Your instincts are the language of that inner knowing you have about certain things. It's important that you listen. Quiet all of the outside noise, tune in, and listen, whenever you need guidance. Your instincts will guide you.
Self-Talk
Pay attention to your self-talk. I was struggling with an issue recently. Deep down, I knew I didn't want to do something, but for some reason I was having a hard time making a final decision about it. So I meditated on the subject, and asked to gain clarity on the issue. That's when a … Continue reading Self-Talk
Happiness
Our happiness is determined by what is inside of us. It doesn't come from anything on the outside. In fact what comes to us from the outside world is a reflection of our inner thoughts. So if you're stuck on the illusion that you need to wait for a specific thing, or person, or result … Continue reading Happiness
Decisions
I believe that if you're having trouble with a decision in life, particularly on deciding if choosing one way is the right choice, then that means that it is not. The best choice is to stop struggling with a decision. The decision is no. The best course of action is to move on from this … Continue reading Decisions
Get Still
Sometimes the best thing you can do is get quiet, and tune into your inner wisdom. That usually can help bring you answers better than any video, TV show, book, blog or gab fest. Sometimes it's best to just step away from the outside noise, and get still. Besides, taking a break from all of … Continue reading Get Still
Great Expectations
Have you heard the advice on how expectations can affect your happiness? It's usually meant to advise against setting yourself up for disappointment by having expectations that are bound to fail. And these expectations are most always about others and their behavior. But what if instead, we had expectations for how we've decided to see … Continue reading Great Expectations
Good things
We become what we consume and think about all day long. That's why it's important to be mindful of what kind of information and media we fill ourselves up with. However, it's with beautiful design that our inner wisdom will set off alarm bells by feeling crappy when we're consumed with too much of what … Continue reading Good things
