It’s easy to allow fear to control our lives. But when we live out of fear, we don’t experience love and joy. See, fear is rooted in “not-love.” And thinking, deciding, and acting based on “not-love” is just not worth it. Being afraid has no value in many day-to-day experiences and leads to insecurity, anxiety, …
You don’t have to be happy and positive all the time. But you don’t have to be a grumpy ol’ grump either. There’s a way to balance optimism and practicality. It’s rooted in acceptance and responsibility – knowing you’ll always be exactly where you need to be with whatever you have at hand; and being …
There’s no use holding onto regret. It’s all done and over, and we can’t change the past. But we can prevent future regrets by changing our present. We can learn and grow and avoid making the same mistakes. We can take more risks and face our fears. We can forgive and let go of anything …

We set goals, dream of ideal lifestyles, set intentions, and make plans – all of which is good, yet it keeps our thinking focused on the future. And when we spend too much time in the future, we may start to feel anxious. But the future isn’t here yet. And it isn’t guaranteed. So why …
In the age of social media, it’s easy to crave attention and validation that you’re living an awesome life. But you don’t need anyone to acknowledge you to feel good about yourself.
