There is nothing that takes place in life, including all of the ugliness in it, that isn't part of our preparation for discovering within ourselves the eternal ability to transcend what has been disturbed.
Where is tomorrow's fear other than in today's imagination? And, if this is true -- and IT IS -- then what to do with our attention in the here and now? Let it be swallowed up in the dark shadow of what "may be"... or hold it in the Light of awareness where no shadow can dwell...
The following key lessons are taken from 365 Days to Let Go. Use their insights to help reach for and realize the excellent life. Mediocrity is a form of madness, a dream embraced by the masses because it makes just getting by an acceptable -- sometimes applauded -- social art form. What is excellent requires extra effort. To agree to sleep our way through life is to lose everything, becaus...
The will to be free belongs to that special part of us able to remember that we are here on earth to grow beyond the limiting influences of our own unawakened nature; it knows we are not created to participate with anything that causes us to suffer unconsciously. Our task is to awaken ourselves to this Higher Will within us that won't be compromised. How is this done? We must remember -- now a...
To grow into a new and higher order of peace we must remember at the first sign of resisting some unwanted moment that we must work to detect and dismiss any tendency we have to identify with that negative reaction...
Once we realize that whatever we will bring into our awareness has always been an aspect of our own consciousness, only not yet awakened to, we also understand this liberating truth: nothing exists outside of us. All destinations are already within us, including the Love we are searching for and the unconditional freedom that It alone has the power to grant.
To be able to touch and appreciate what is new, we are created to open up and, as needed, to let go of whatever is no longer useful... especially when it comes to our need to release those old feelings and worn out thoughts that first clog up, and then compromise, our hearts and minds. These tiresome states of ourselves have become "stuck" within us because we haven't learned how to release th...
Whether we know it or not, we create the content and the quality of our own lives moment-to-moment. In fact, you are creating and experiencing your destiny even as you read this. Which means that what you think of being your future is really the choices you are making -- and experiencing -- right now. To understand this truth is to unlock the treasure of your True Self, and gain the abundance of...

Learn to see your attention as a form of "currency," for it's not just where you spend your time, but upon what you spend it that determines what you receive -- or don’t -- from this life...
It seems that everywhere I go today, everyone has their own idea of what the Truth is and why I should support their idea or value system. So my question is, as best I can state it, what is Truth and how do I come upon it for myself? Ideas abound today about what the nature of Truth is...I don't know what to believe. Is truth simply subjective to each individual? In other words, is there only...
I have tried to think that I am okay and don't need to change, and that the rest of the world is crazy. Yet, I do use TV, reading, etc. as a distraction from the suffering and pain of my reactions to life -- to my worry, anxiety, fear, and anger.
