Your Discontent is the First Step Toward Awakening
In our day-to-day lives, most of our attention tends to focus on the realities of the conventional world: our relationships, perhaps raising children, going to school or work, addressing issues in the areas of health and finances. At the same time, we each experience, from time to time or even persistently, that whispered voice of our heart or higher self, reminding us and calling us to look beyond the conventional world to a higher or transcendent reality. Sometimes we experience a sudden wake-up call — a loss or change that forces us to consider what life is really about and…
Are You Bound to Be Happy?
What is it that we seek in life? It is to be happy. We express our happiness when we experience something that is pleasurable or satisfying. Yet, maintaining the happiness we find is like trying to hold onto a fish freshly pulled from the water. As hard as we try, it keeps slipping from our grasp. And since it requires some event or experience (which are temporary to our existence) to bring it about, we can understand why it is so fleeting. Living in itself is a happy prospect; without which there can be no further opportunities for future happiness…
- Belief is crucial for success, but not enough. Hard work is the fuel that powers belief.
Your Life? Your Choice!
Your life is your choice. How often have we felt helpless in the face of everything that seems to hold us back? The past, the present, money, relationships, weight, appearance, self-esteem, education, connections - we can come up with so many reasons for why we aren't successful. The power to transcend all of that and become who you were meant to be lies within you and the choices you make. Ultimately, you assign meaning to your circumstances; they don't assign meaning to you. No matter where you've been or what you've been through, you can start today and make your…
- Life is a constant series of adjustments- it flows like a river, swelling with rain and receding with drought, with its banks reshaping in time.

- It’s not knowing that you can do it… it’s knowing how. The science of Consciousness is the newly discovered key. Thought manipulates reality!
Remember to Learn Your Life Lessons
It is my belief that the most important things in life are the lessons we learn while we are here. Through our passion, willingness to take risks, the assurance that it is OKAY to fail, along with deep love and heartfelt relationships, we learn the most important lessons in life. A lifetime filled with lessons is your e-ticket ride to living passionately, with a sense of unstoppability, and the deep desire to go for your dreams and chase what you love. If you are not faced with tests throughout your life, there is no way to defend and clarify what…
- There are no unsuccessful lives. Don’t measure your life by what you achieve or think you must achieve. Your being here is already the greatest gift to the world!

- Creating your life on your terms is really about allowing for grace through your next transition.
Orient Your Consciousness
It is unwise to sail to sea without a navigation system. Likewise, navigating the intricacies and challenges of life also needs special guidance. For your soul wisdom grows from your consecration. My consecration is to release any thought that closes my heart even in the slightest and to always begin my life right where I am. It is to refuse to allow fear or suffering, even physical pain, to make me self-involved. Consecration is the pole star by which you invent yourself as a spiritually oriented conscious person. But how do you know or discover your consecration? Ask yourself: What…
- To achieve your higher purpose, you don’t need a job title. You only need to be who you are: the embodiment of love. You become a living purpose, and everyday you become more authentically you.
Challenge Yourself to Dream
I sat here thinking of what would inspire, challenge, encourage and empower each of you which was really a challenge for there are so many things to share. As I thought more about the concept, I kept hearing "Give them Permission to Dream". We have all had dreams at one time in our life and then life got in the way. I challenge you today to stop and take a deep breath and repeat these words: I, ______________, give myself permission to dream, visualize and step in faith to set goals that will take me to where I want to…
- Create consciously, love unconditionally, live joyously!
What’s Really Our Purpose In Life?
Life should be fun! Every aspect of it is a thrill beyond anything we can describe or imagine. We have all heard the saying that "we are spiritual beings having a human experience." Think about that. Most of us live our lives as if we must find some higher consciousness or grand purpose for why we are here when in reality "we are" the purpose. Our human-ness is our purpose. We are already divine beings and all the things we think we are not and must drive ourselves to become are already ours. We came "down" to be human not…
- Wake up: You are the first generation in history that can shift from being the last generation in history, to being the first generation of a brand new phase in history.
How You Can Find Your Internal Compass
Listen for your own deep questions and follow them. Let them guide you the way a compass guides a lost traveler, marking true north when there are no maps... or when the maps you have no longer show the way to where you want to go. Listening like this is soul level listening. You have to be willing, or longing, or desperate enough to turn away from other people's answers. You have to turn toward your unknown self. To take time. Your question doesn't have to look like a question. It can be a fragment of conversation you overheard on…
- It is often through the darkest experiences where we become the most enlightened. To shun these experiences is to remain foolish. To embrace them is to quickly ascend.
