Let the Spirit Move You

Have you ever felt the urge to do something good for someone? Have you ever given to someone whom you do not know, and for no reason?

Celebrate Your Independence

The meaning of freedom to the individual has always been obscured by what others dictate to him. The interpretation of freedom is, therefore, something that is sought through struggle, and never truly free. Independence is something that everyone wants. We don't want to be limited in our...

The Pool of Reflection

When we view ourselves, we are looking through a screen. What we put on that screen is completely up to us. It is erected through self-reflection. The ability to be aware is a God-like trait.

Raising The Bar

We can discuss things such as love, kindness, giving, forgiveness, gratitude, peace, and happiness endlessly; yet, these ideas mean nothing without application.

Giving Yourself Away

'You Are Not Really Mine' (to my two sons)

You were given me by God, a helpless child. You are unconditionally loving, and yet completely dependent. I see in you my features, mannerisms, and expressions. I have things to teach you about the world you've entered and know nothing of. It is tempting to see myself in you. I can right my mistakes... Sign in to see full entry.

What Anger Teaches

Anger is a teacher of patience. It is a teacher of forgiveness. It is a teacher of responsibility. It is a teacher of peace and love. It is a valuable path to walk, if we choose to walk it. How we deal with anger determines the lessons that lie within it. If we busily feed it through blaming others,... Sign in to see full entry.

Mastery

We can be the master of many things in life. Some prefer to be the master of honing a particular skill, or of being able to persuade others. Some have even perfected the art of denial and deception. The true mastery in the world is mastery of self. He who understands himself deeply will have learned... Sign in to see full entry.
