The psychology of suffering…
“We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake,” Henry David Thoreau wrote in contemplating what it really means to be awake, adding: “Only one in a million is awake enough for effective intellectual exertion, only one in a hundred million to a poetic or divine life.” That’s what legendary philosopher and founding father of modern psychology William James (January…

Recommit to your Goals…Daily!
Every day we need to recommit to our goals and dreams…to the contracts we’ve made with ourselves…our intentions….what we choose to continue, alter, begin or stop!

Something to think about…
You get what you think about, whether you want it or not. Louisa May Alcott phrases it in a much more inspiring manner… Far away in the sunshine are my highest inspirations, I may not reach them, but I can look up and see the beauty, believe in them and try to follow where they…

We are all creative
I am not This is what we say all the time. I am not the creative type. Yet we’re creating every single day. By our very thoughts and words we are always creating. Do you like what you’re creating?
