The Spark That Lives In You!
There is a spark of vitality that lives in you. This spark is a miracle that only you can bring to life. It is your gift, your purpose, your passion...your presence. You must nurture this spark, and allow it to grow. Be curious, compassionate, courageous and committed as you discover what this is in you. Because it is unique to you and only you, I cannot tell you with certainty how you'll find it or know it. I just know that you must. When you find it, and I trust that you will, if you haven't already, the next step…

Wisdom To Nourish The Inner Self
There is an intelligence to the universe that is too vast for humans to understand. Therefore, be sure to have ample time in nature to see a spectacular planet inspiring hope and insights that result in creative solutions. Everyone has important work to do that makes a difference. Make sure you have time alone to think deeply about your contribution, without interruption, daily. Treat your thinking with respect. We can learn from mistakes; but it is never helpful to you, or anyone else, to just put yourself down. Expect knockdowns as a normal part of life's challenges. Each one presents…
- We are all unique, have our own strengths and skills, but what good is it if all we can do is accept our diversity? What we really need to do is not only accept and appreciate our differences but leverage our diversity.
Bring Out Your Inner Diamond
I believe that each of us is a rock, the most beautiful, strongest rock imaginable - a diamond. You are a diamond, and like that precious stone your life has many facets which took years to forge. Diamonds begin as lumps of carbon deep in the earth's surface. Years of extreme pressure and force shape them into unique, amazing stones. Isn't life like this? Over time you go through great pressures and forces that shape the person you become. Extracting diamonds takes work; they don't just magically rise to the earth's surface. The same is true for your life. Cultivating…
- Hope finds its fulfillment when nurtured through faith and shared with love.
The Secret To True Leadership
What does it take to be a leader in your business, your community, your family and your relationships? Try being a servant. The concept of "servant leadership" in business, developed by Robert K. Greenleaf and popularized by Steven Covey, proposes that one becomes a successful leader primarily by meeting the needs of others rather than one's own. This causes others to feel valued and respected, which in turn leads to their respecting and valuing their leader and perhaps their employer. It's a pretty powerful concept, which you can adapt to all of your relationships. If you focus on meeting others'…
The Fastest Way To Happiness
The fastest way to happiness and peace is the absolute acceptance of WHO YOU ARE right in this moment. The nature of humanness is divinity. This is evident in many of the daily "miracles" of our existence: our body, the seasons, the supreme organization of the universe. We know this in our cells, our bones. There is a deep resonance to the truth that we are all connected, that divinity expresses ITSELF as us, exactly as we are. The ego says, "Ok, you have the capacity to love and sure, you might be an expression of the divine, but until…

You Can Have It All!
Life is not an ALL or nothing situation. I've spent a lot of years thinking that it was. Thinking that if I had plenty of time to spend with my family it meant that I couldn't have a successful career. Or that if I had a lot of income coming in that I couldn't or even shouldn't enjoy what I was doing. The either/or scenario seemed to overshadow me. But I've started to notice that the times in my life when I am most happy are when I am in "both" mode. Like when I work efficiently during the day…
- Go ahead…try…see how far you can go, how much you can accomplish, how much you can become.
Make Your Life a Work of Art
Conscientiously make your life a wonderful, beautiful piece of art. Slow down! Live. Be aware of your surroundings. Sometimes we are so wrapped up in our daily lives that we don't take the time to see, hear and smell the every day beauty that surrounds us - something as simple as a blade of green grass, the crisp popping sound of a flag blowing in the wind, the smell of gas fumes from a passing bus. Okay, so bus fumes are bad, but that's not the point. The point is - you're ALIVE to smell those bus fumes! You're experiencing,…
