A bitter trade
We lose ourselves to the bitterness of this world when we allow the self-loathing of others to define our self-worth. In our desire to be understood, we willingly adopt labels that limit our expression of who we truly are. It is a betrayal of the contract of kindness that we have with our soul. The…

Be gentle…to you
When you treat the vulnerable or the gentle ones with contempt, you create the same monsters that made you. The moment that we realise what we assume to be our nature is in fact a product of our upbringing, we’ll be able to make conscious decisions about who we want to be. Sometimes, we place…

The understanding seeker
Seek to understand, so that you may be able to accept the events of your life with peace, rather than feeling compelled to let go with bitterness. It’s the inclination to want to be heard that denies us peace when we’re not heard. Or to want to be acknowledged when we are dismissed. Rather than…

Your perspective is your choice
Perspective is a choice, not an inheritance. Improve your awareness of why you believe what you believe, and it will be possible to consciously choose what resonates with your personal value system, and discarding what doesn’t. When we lose sight of why we hold the perspectives that we do, and those perspectives create a conflict…
