The older I’m getting the more I admire simplicity. I have the urge to simplify my life. By that I mean I only want to spend my time on what is important for me. But the most important questions which halt our zest to simplify are: what is that? &  how can I do it?…

WE CREATE OUR REALITY. No fine print. No exceptions. No asterisk. I can’t imagine anyone reading those words and not being excited! Is it that simple – just a choice? Well, the answer to that is definitely not simple. Sometimes, yes, it is a just a choice. And sometimes (in the beginning it’s most times) we have…

Self talk is the inner dialogue you have in your mind regarding everything you think about, do, wish or dream of. It could be related to people, places and things both real and imagined.

“The man without a purpose is like a ship without a rudder – waif, a nothing, a no man. Have a purpose in life, and, having it, throw such strength of mind and muscle into your work as God has given you.” ~ Thomas Carlyle Your purpose in life reflects your ability to derive meaning from your life’s experiences, as well a your ability to make focused and intentional decisions. Most people have faced circumstances that made them feel purposeless at one time or…

Whether you call it random acts of kindness, paying it forward, or good deeds, they are very powerful. That is why almost every religion and culture values and rewards the performance of good deeds. But what is “Being Good”. Once you get your definition down, then you have to stick with it wherever you go,…

“If we saw reality, we would never be unhappy.”   The Buddha This means that if we looked at life and saw what was actually there from a viewpoint of “I started with nothing and now I have lots” we would experience happiness.  Yet we make-up unrealistic expectations of what should be and consequently we experience “not enough”, which has…

If you’re going to live from your soul then you have to listen to its wisdom. I believe that most of the drama in our lives manifests when we don’t live in accordance with our inner guidance. Your soul knows what it wants and needs. If you’re not in alignment with it, then you can…

Live untamed and unafraid is a recipe for really living life to the full – for really feeling alive day in, day out. It’s about being true to yourself, pushing through your doubts and fears to go after what you really want in life, and living an inspired life that not only has you feel…

“The thing always happens that you really believe in; and in the belief in a thing makes it happen.” – Frank Lloyd Wright.  Think of the power of belief, then, as part of our essence. Strive to find that which we strongly believe in and allow that belief to energize and motivate us to take…

How many times have we all tried to manipulate situations and relationships to make them work out the way we wanted? How often have we tried to control people and things we just simply had no control over? Sometimes if we try as hard as we can — when we are forceful enough or persistent…

They May Forget What You Said, But They Will Never Forget How You Made Them Feel. Want to make friends and build a strong network? Want to be the person that people want to spend time with? Want to earn someone’s trust and respect? Then start caring.  To make someone’s day, all you have to…

Compassion is the highest virtue in a way and compassion is not possible if you are identified with this or that. Only when you are able to just look at life as life, only then you can be compassionate. If you look at it as my life or your life – no compassion. When life…

“To love oneself is the beginning of a life-long romance.” ~ Oscar Wilde. Do you know what it means to love yourself unconditionally? Do you know how to totally accept and embrace yourself fully? Are you facing difficulties with loving yourself? Listen to your mind talk and you will know things. Chances are that you have been saying more…

Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect offering. There is a crack in everything, That’s how the light gets in. — Leonard Cohen It’s easy to get swept up by the fear that we just aren’t enough. We think we aren’t pretty enough, smart enough, tall enough or thin enough. For example,…

I am not a follower of Christianity, but one of my college professor Ms. Theodore send me across a “Never Again” list which has got me intrigued.  We’re all looking to be successful in life, but sometimes we are wasting our time doing things that are holding us back from reaching our full potential. And, often,…

Do you have the clarity, the willingness, do you have the momentum to not care about what somebody else thinks about what you are doing? I don’t care, yes, say these to yourself every time a stupid doubt created by others enters your mind. Say these words to yourself every-time someone hurts you, or say…

Innocence is Brilliant! Innocence is not ignorance. Innocence doesn’t mean you don’t know, see, or hear bad stuff. We think babies are innocent because they don’t understand but that’s not why they are innocent. Innocence is not immaturity. You don’t lose innocence once you get to a certain age or once you mature. Innocence is…
