What is Your Plan?

So what is your plan?  That is, what is your plan for this day, this week, this year, and this lifetime?  Do you have a plan at least somewhat formulated in your head, or do you go wherever the universe takes you? There is a fine balance between planning and being spontaneous.  A plan is […]

The Key of Silence

“How did you become so wise?” “Wisdom is the treasure buried within each of us, but is unlocked with silence.  Few people find that key.” Ω Silence is the key to life.  When we can sit quietly, reset our mind and connect to our inner-self we are opening ourselves up to the wisdoms of all […]

Daily Winds

When things seem difficult, remember to plant your beacons!  Often times when we are in the depth of the struggles around us, we lose focus of our beacons.  That is, we forget to plan where it is we are wanting to go. Sometimes it may feel as though you are “treading water” and are expending […]

Do you ever notice how sometimes your life seems so complicated, while others may appear to simplify things?  When we simplify our lives, we allow for spontaneity and exploration.  “Over thinking” often times over-complicates things, leading to a tendency of control. Ω Observe yourself today to get a glimpse of whether or not you might […]

Intentional Future

What is it that you want with the rest of your life?  Have you asked yourself this question, and set your intention for how you would like to live out the rest of your days? Ω We often look back over our lives and sometimes wish that things could be the way they once were.  […]

Thousand Steps

“Little things” can have a big impact.  When we think that we have to have it all now, we let our impatience possibly immobilize us.   The best way to pull a stick out of the mud is with slow and constant pressure.  Jerking actions only make the stick go deeper into the mud.  Life is […]

Take Back Your Life

Sometimes, we need to “take charge” of our lives.   That is, when you begin to feel like things are “happening to” you, it may be time to “live your life.” Go out and get the things that you want in your life.  When we continually blame others, the environment, and the government for our current […]
