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…

Dare to dream
When we pursue the impossible, we achieve the unbelievable. But, we’re often so distracted by how impossible our goal might appear, that we lose sight of everything that its pursuit offers us. Fortune cookie wisdom tells us that it’s the journey that matters, not the destination. Yet, we lose sight of the growth that the…

It’s the what-ifs and if-onlys that cause more regret and heartache than any bad decision. Bad decisions are made with good intentions, yet we always choose to remember the negative outcome, rather than…

Yearning for a simple life
Life is simple, but it’s not easy. It becomes complicated when we look for the easy way out. Doing the right thing is often complicated by our concern for the consequences with those around us. The greater our emphasis on those consequences, the more complicated life becomes because we have that much more to consider…

Judge me fairly
How often do we build pedestals for people and then judge them for sitting on it? Judgement is inevitable. It’s how we make sense of our world. But are we aware of the basis of our judgement? When we judge anyone or anything, it’s based on our past experiences with troubled souls, and not on…
