If you can’t enjoy what you have, you’ll never appreciate what you want. If you learn to feel rich in every moment, getting what you hope for will only make you richer. Gratitude gives you abundance even when you may have relatively little. And if you have nothing, you can still be grateful for life. … Continue reading You are rich

How to love your life
To love the life you have, you must live a life of love. It’s easy to buy into the idea that the more we possess like money, homes, stuff, the happier we will be, but that’s not true. Being rich doesn’t make you feel rich. There’s always someone richer to make you feel poorer. And … Continue reading How to love your life
Live your life
Too many of us live as if we were dead, but we need to live while we're alive. This day is what you have. It's a gift. You're blessed. Take it and do the things you dream of, start it, try, begin. Don't live in fear. Live out of faith. You're alive, so stop spending … Continue reading Live your life
The new you starts here
New doesn’t mean throwing out the old. Those mistakes, that failure are things you'd like to forget—but don't. Becoming new means taking the old and learning from it, growing through it. Just as the flower dies in winter and feeds the seed in spring, your past helps your future bloom. Without the old, you cannot … Continue reading The new you starts here
The most important thing that should matter to you
What matters, really? Your life does. The very fact you get to breathe, wake up, chit chat with your neighbors is paramount. Without it everything else wouldn’t matter. Another thing that matters are relationships, getting to be with loved ones, the people who really love you and whom you love—for whom you would die—and know. … Continue reading The most important thing that should matter to you
One of the best friends you should have
We are often our own worst enemy because we haven’t learned how to be our own greatest friend: We criticize ourselves when we should encourage, rage against when we should extend peace, yell at when we should listen, hate when we should love. We shouldn’t just be kind to ourselves; we need to support and … Continue reading One of the best friends you should have
The one thing you should never do
There are times when life tries to drag you down, crush you, take you out. And you'll want to surrender. Darkness will envelop you, swallow you whole, blind you. You will crawl, cry, pray, choke, scream. But it won't matter. You can't change what happened. And you'll be tempted to think that it will always … Continue reading The one thing you should never do
This is what it costs to live a great life
There is no forever without always. There is no way to gain the riches of commitment without committing. You can have great friendships but you need to be a great friend. You can have deep connections but you need to connect deeply. You can have a life together but you have to give them your … Continue reading This is what it costs to live a great life
I want you to have true peace
Rest isn’t just the sleep we get; it’s a state of inner being that we need. It’s beyond memory foam pillows, Egyptian Cotton sheets, and goose feather duvets. We seek an inner stillness, a quietude in our soul. So stop and relax your shoulders; quiet the voices clamoring in your mind. Focus on your breath. … Continue reading I want you to have true peace
Feel hated? You need to know this
Sometimes you feel cursed, diseased, abandoned, betrayed when you try to live courageously, greatly. But you are not alone. Some people hate me, despise me, think me despicable, talk behind my back, consider me bad. And some of them even smile at me, tell me they love me, hug me, and wish me well. But … Continue reading Feel hated? You need to know this
