We often hear people say that there is more to life than money or amassing things, but very few of those people continue the thought and tell you what they hold most dear. And in the abstract, it is easy to nod your head in agreement. But that is not enough to get people to really think about and consider what they need to change in their lives to amass what they hold more valuable…
Your dreams can be as large as an ocean liner or as small as a single person rowboat, but the choice is yours and the importance is equal. Hopes and dreams are what fuels that fire deep in your heart to keep striving and working to push forward. And even when your dream is just a tiny flicker in the flame that is you, it is there, and it holds meaning. It tethers your everyday…
Love lives in every heart, but only when it is shared do you reap its full benefit. Perfume in a bottle might be pretty, but it was created to fill the air with a sweet aroma. Fine wine is meant to be savored and enjoyed but first, it must be poured from the bottle. Music is simply ink marks on a page until someone shares the song with a voice or an instrument. All of…
A couple of days ago I was in a chapel, praying, meditating and experiencing the Love of God in a personal way. It was a moment of peace, of knowing that God treasures me immensely. I was reflecting about life, of how wonderful it is, even when we face difficult moments in our life. In those precise difficult moments of life, God intervenes through His grace, to present us with His peace, His love, His…
I just wanted to extend my thanks to all of you who sent me birthday wishes. I had a great day spending it with my family. We all stuffed ourselves silly! As I turn another year older, I find myself looking back at my life. Any of you who have been following me know that I have dealt with some tough situations over the years. I admit I did waste a lot of time wondering…
Integrity, it is one of those things that we often overlook for things that are far less important and valuable. Humans can be a lot like liquids in that we tend to take the path of least resistance, but remember it’s the difficult challenges in life that often deliver the greatest reward. It is the time that you choose to make the difficult choice that defines you, not the money that you make or how…
Today is the 5th of July, and for all readers in the United States, it is the day after Independence Day. But for every reader everywhere, today can be the first day of your independence from whatever you choose to leave behind, such as self-doubt. And it might be that you are not leaving something behind, but instead, you are choosing to believe in something that you have been told is not possible. Maybe you…
If you are having a bad day, week or even year, remember that it is not your starting point that matters, rather it is where you end up. And by having a more challenging starting point, you are being given more opportunities to succeed. Someone whose life has always been perfect will look back and never really see any hard-earned accomplishments or victories in his or her past. They will not grasp the glorious feeling…
I think that everyone will agree that the world can be separated into two categories. We have those who see the glass as half full and those who see it as half empty. And for the most part, that outlook is applied to all aspects of our lives. We can choose to seek out the positive, or we can be content to see cling to the first negative aspect we find and refuse to look…
