Heal the World
We experience the world from our own perspective. And when we feel a strong need to fix something out there, it's really a reminder that we have something to address from within ourselves. Jesus spoke of this, when he said: "Before you attempt to remove a speck from the eye of another, take the log … Continue reading Heal the World
Response
The one thing that we are ever really in control of, is our response to a situation. Things may not always go in our favor, or according to our plan. Things may change abruptly, or they may refuse to budge no matter how hard we try to improve them. People may suddenly change on you, … Continue reading Response

When we think in human terms, it can be easy to feel hopeless, because humans are fallible.

When you feel judged, it's best to remember that your feelings come from your thoughts. The judgement you're feeling is coming from your own perspective.

Perspective
I believe that because we each experience the world as filtered through our own perspective, that what we see is simply a result of what we are. Basically, if you think the world is full of liars, it's because you are a liar. If you can be convinced that something has a sinister ulterior motive, … Continue reading Perspective

It's a good day to be happy. I know it's common to wish this insane year would be over already, but I can't help but think about all of the people who's loved ones never even made it to see this year, be it crazy-terrible or not. I agree that this year sucks, but if … Continue reading A Good Day
Love in my mind
I'm going through the workbook for A Course in Miracles (that is, I've started it again - hey, third times a charm) and the lesson for day #30 is: God is in everything I see because God is in my mind. One of my favorite authors on the subject of ACIM is the very entertaining … Continue reading Love in my mind
Healing
There is a beautiful Hawaiian prayer for healing, called the Ho’oponopono Prayer. It's simple, short and powerful. By repeating it's four phrases over and over, it helps to calm you, and clear anger, hurt and negativity. It's about forgiveness, but it calls on you to take responsibility yourself, as any emotions you feel ultimately come … Continue reading Healing
Change
Wayne Dyer would always say, When we change the way we look at things, the things we look at change. It's helpful to remember that we have this power, especially when the things we look at don't look so great. And, oftentimes the world around us looks so troubled because there's a lot of noise … Continue reading Change
Perspective
Are you living from a perspective of lack, or from a perspective of abundance? Lack causes your energy to contract and close in. Abundance causes your energy to be open and expand. Living with abundance doesn't necessarily mean that you're suddenly a billionaire. Living with abundance means that you feel open, expanded and at ease. … Continue reading Perspective
