Over the past few months, I have been the benefactor of a couple of very unique learning experiences. And these lessons have been very enlightening as I have been searching the universe for answers, understanding, and insight. But it took me some time to realize that many of my questions were being answered even though I did not yet understand the answer or even realize that the answer had been presented. I am famous for…
Many people search for real happiness and peace in their lives. There are people that managed to find this real happiness and peace. Where can one find this happiness and peace? Is it possible to have such happiness and peace? Happiness and peace is only possible through Him. This real happiness and peace is found through Jesus, the Saviour.

Willing to take on VENGEANCE as the first step of action against any person found wanting seems to be the default settings for each of us. But, does taking a step at being vengeful really make us even, soothes/pacify us, brings peace… just as…

It took me several decades of working hard before I gained…
Very seldom are we gifted with a truly extraordinary person in our lives. I mean a person who completely changes who you are, and what you strive to become…forever. These once in a lifetime opportunities are so rare that some people will never have the experience. But when you do, clearly, it is a wake-up call from on high, to step it up and live up to your potential. A nearly perfect example has been…
I’ve been told on many occasions and by many people that I am a bit of a control freak. And the funniest part is that I never saw that as a bad thing.

Life is often not as it appears at first glance. And you have no way of knowing what is motivating another person to act or do as they are. Never pass judgement on others or their actions unless you have walked in their shoes.
Sometimes, survival is your only victory, but it is important to realize and appreciate that victory just as you do with all of your other accomplishments. By surviving today, you have earned the right to begin a new day tomorrow and use that new beginning as the launching pad for achieving your dreams!
