If you're worried about being deserving of your blessings, then you're really worried about judgment. So then, you need to ask yourself if you're worried about someone else's judgment or your own. Usually, the culprit is yourself. You are the one who doesn't think you're deserving enough. That means that you can decide again, and … Continue reading Deserving

Underneath
Underneath all of those labels we all pile onto ourselves, lies the same spark of life as everyone else. Underneath the categories of race, gender, nationality, religion, ideology, etc. we are all just people. It's those categories and labels that we use to judge each other with. And yet, none of us want to be … Continue reading Underneath
Instincts
The more you trust your instincts, the more reliable you'll find them. I believe your instincts are prompts from your higher self. They're the vibes you feel about certain situations or places, or even people. When I haven't trusted my instincts about someone, thinking I'm being too harsh and judgmental, and instead chose to trust … Continue reading Instincts
Forgive
Practice forgiveness, generously and frequently. Forgiveness is what leads you to freedom. Isn't that what everyone is ultimately after? When you hold others in judgment, you're also holding yourself captive to the offense. Forgive and release yourself. After all, you wouldn't be able to judge another if you weren't aware of whatever sin you're judging … Continue reading Forgive

It seems that a lot of times when folks act out, or when they say something incendiary, what they're really after is simply attention. They want someone to pay attention to them, and they know they can get it if they provoke. I believe that most of the time these people don't want to be … Continue reading Attention
Assumptions
The more I learn, the more I realize that I just can't know everything. This is especially true with other people's experiences. We each experience life from our own unique perspective. So it's a little silly and pretty foolish to make assumptions about what someone else is going through. You could have had very similar … Continue reading Assumptions
Energy
Trust the energy. If something doesn't feel right, don't ignore that feeling. If it feels like a struggle when interacting with someone, pay attention and find out what that strained feeling is telling you. Maybe it's a warning to avoid that person. Or perhaps it's indicating that this person is a perfect teacher for you … Continue reading Energy
Capability
One of my favorite analogies from the teachings of Abraham-Hicks is when they describe watching a little baby first try to walk, as they stumble and bumble around then fall, and how you would never say to them "Get up you little dummy!" because you accept that they are learning and finding their balance. So … Continue reading Capability
