Life has a way of throwing you curveballs and instinctively as humans we want to get mad or frustrated but spiritually we should know better. Often things will not go as planned. My own mentor used to reinforce in me to stop making plans because they never work out. We plan and God laughs because [...]
Some of you are going to nod your heads profusely up and down when you read this and others are going to be like, "She has no idea what she's talking about." But either way, whether you agree or disagree, your life and every single thing that happens in it is all because of you. [...]
I had something happen to me today and although it wasn't something you'd probably look at in a positive way, it made me realize that blessings arrive in all different forms. Often what seems like a negative situation can actually open your eyes to what I'll call "residual positive situations." For instance what looked like I [...]
It is said (by Buddha) that, "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear." It is also said by Yogi Bhajan, "Recognize the other person is you." You are everyone's teacher and a student of them all. But you also must recognize that it is not them that can do the work on your [...]
