I was speaking to a friend of mine recently and she asked me a question that acted as a sort of eureka moment for me. She asked me how much longer I was going to keep thinking that I had some kind of time debt to pay off. And how much longer would it take for me to pay off …
Think Of Everything You Do As Seeds You Are Planting
When an oak tree puts out acorns, it knows not all acorns are going to result in another oak tree (this also applies when you plant seeds). In fact, one oak tree can put as many as 10,000 acorns in their masting year. And statistically, only one of those acorns is going to take seed properly and grow into a …
Peace Doesn’t Come To Us In A Moment In The Future
When we are here in this moment in time, and if we aren’t happy in this moment in time, we believe our peace and happiness lies somewhere in the future. It’s there, out there somewhere. It’s not here, it’s not here with me, but out there.

She was chatting at dinner about her recent trip to Las Vegas. And how when she told her friend about the trip, the friend said immediately, “You are so lucky you are in party central.” My …
Comparison, Not Fear, Is The Real Mind Killer
You are not good enough, comparison says to me every day. I look at social media posts, and comparison tells me, I will never be good enough.
