Forgiveness is a word a lot of us don't like to hear and yet it's crucial to forgive not only others but also yourself. Have you been holding a grudge against yourself? You're not alone - we all do it at some point in time. Here's the thing, if you have or if you are, [...]
I read an article yesterday that said that whenever we perceive a lack of something (be it money, food, time, etc.) we become so absorbed by it that our thinking is altered.

What do you do when life exhausts you? I hope 'give up' isn't your answer. Circumstances aren't always going to go the way we want them to, but most of the time that's because there's a better way for them to go. Rejection is protection, and it's true what they say - that when one [...]
