It seems to me that we're need of an outbreak of empathy. Empathy being: the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. We're not all as different as we like to think we are. Whatever hurts us, most likely hurts another. With empathy you remember how it feels to be on the receiving … Continue reading Empathy

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
Human Being
A lifelong lesson I'm learning is that I am working too hard at life. I'm making it such a struggle. Can anyone relate? If life seems to be a constant struggle, I suggest you take a look and see if you're trying too hard to control things. That's what I do. I have fallen for … Continue reading Human Being
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
Simple
Human relations can be so simple. They might not be easy, but they are certainly simple if we remember that we all just want to be respected and acknowledged. If we want to be treated with respect, then we might remember that everyone else wants to be treated with respect as well. So, it's simple. … Continue reading Simple
Love First
It seems logical that we should love our bodies, every inch of them, since they're the thing that we have to work with as we navigate life on planet earth. Of course it seems logical to love our bodies, but that's not what the advertisers and drug companies want us to do. They want us … Continue reading Love First
Within
I'm sailing through on a lifelong quest to fully experience (and maintain) joyful living. And all of my discoveries keep pointing out that it comes from within. In other words, we don't have to look very far to find joy. It's already there, inside of us. Eckhart Tolle says, Pleasure is always derived from something … Continue reading Within
Don’t fall for it
I think it's vitally important to be mindful not to hate anyone, even if they seem to be utterly hateful. If you fall for the trap of hating them, it only corrodes you and makes you a hater. Hating them does nothing to make them any less hateful. I say treat them like another thing … Continue reading Don’t fall for it
Life
Life is all too brief. So at some point, we should start living it, rather than always working on "getting our act together." How long do you need to give someone to "come to their senses" before you decide you better enjoy what time you have left - with or without them? How many years … Continue reading Life
No Guarantee
From what I know about life, is that it's not a guarantee that we'll all get to live through the end of the day. For some of us, today will be it for this lifetime. So, if you have a dream about how you want your life to be, it might be a good idea … Continue reading No Guarantee
The Why
Why do you want what you want? If you know the answer to that, then getting it is a cinch. We're usually so much more wrapped up in how to get it, and that seems to be the trouble. If there's anything I've learned in my lifetime, it's that I just don't know enough to … Continue reading The Why
Love One Another
We have to Love One Another. The way we're going to lift our society, the only way, is through the Power of Love. That may sound like one of those 80's pop ballads, but it's still true. When it seems like the fight is insurmountable, and nothing is changing for the better, that's because there … Continue reading Love One Another
