Finding Your New Strength In Adversity

There is a story of little girl in church with too much energy. She kept standing up on the chair and her mother kept pulling her down, but she would just keep getting right back up. Frustrated, her mother pulled her down again and put her hand heavy on her little girls head, pushing her down into a sitting position. The little girl sat there for a while, then began to smile. Then she said, "Mom, you know what, I may be sitting down on the outside, but I am standing up on the inside!" This is the attitude of…

5 Positive Ways You Can Manage Adversity

I believe strongly that what you put out in this world, you get back. I did not always think this way, and unfortunately it took a life-altering event to show me the correct path for me to follow. I suffer from a debilitating disease which tests my strengths daily. Here are five things that I live by and pass along to as many people as I can! 1. Positivity creates positive results. Karma? If you surround yourself with dark, depressing negative thoughts or people, then you will lean towards that yourself. That is not a happy, nor a healthy, way…

Things I Know To Be True

I would share the things I know to be true. Any 'negative' circumstances of your birth are just the backdrop setting the stage for the inspirational ending to your life story. No matter how wonderful your upbringing, you must continually seek wisdom to master all of the lessons necessary to lead a victorious life. You owe your parents for the gift of life, but what you make of it is entirely up to you. We are all more alike than we are different; look for commonality to touch the hearts of others. We must cultivate the wisdom and the discipline…

Today’s Brilliance from Rizwan Virk

If there's one thing I've learned, it's that there aren't any hard and fast rules for success. Most advice works some of the time; no advice works all the time. Then how do you find the way to true success and happiness? My advice is to look for tension in life; tension is created by forces pulling in different directions. What forces? Here's a few (but if you look you can find many more opposing forces, work vs. play, family vs. professional, in any situation): Logic vs. Intuition. From my spiritual training, I've learned to listen to and follow my intuition…

Today’s Brilliance from Maggie Oman Shannon

"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things..." ~ Philippians 4:8 Spiritual beauty always surrounds us, surrounds me right now: the fragrant, creamy-white petals of gardenias floating in a cobalt-blue bowl; the soft, fuzzy-peach flesh of my black kitten as she lies purring from a tummy rub; the magnificent burnt-orange spires of the Golden Gate Bridge arising from the choppy teal waves of San Francisco Bay; the iridescent filaments of a spiderweb adorned with dew. The poet Mary…

The Transforming Power of Letting Go

Have you ever let go of it all? The most remarkable things can happen when you surrender completely. Letting go and trusting in the universe is probably the all time greatest challenge anyone can face. Walking in the dark with total blind faith, not knowing where the next safe footing will be, afraid that the unknown will unveil more than we can take. One of my first experiences of consciously handing it all over to the universe was in 1980. I was in a job recruiting disk drive engineers in Silicon Valley and was failing miserably. Luckily for me, one…

Today’s Brilliance from Deborah Rozman

The heart is your key to becoming "who you truly are." Learn to listen to your heart's intuitive guidance. The heart is not weak and mushy. It is a source of strength and holds a unique intelligence that you can tap into that can open your intuition. It's up to each individual to bring their physical, mental and emotional systems into balanced alignment with their heart's intuitive guidance. Let your mind and heart work as a team - a balanced partnership. The shortest path to the heart and mind partnership is through inner-ease. Practicing inner-ease creates "flow" by helping you…

Is Expectation the Greatest Force on Earth?

I used to think that love was the greatest force on earth. Lately, however, I have come to recognize that the greatest human force is something else, something deeper, something even more fundamental. I'm talking about the power of expectation. It can move mountains, save life, and when used negatively, destroy life. How do expectations have such power? The answer lies with your subconscious mind. Your subconscious controls your automatic actions and physiological responses, habits, creativity, and even your perception. That's right. It controls what "vibes" and other cues in your environment that you will see or not see. We…
