There are two ways to respond to the trials and tribulations of our present and past . . . 'Ain't it awful?' . . . or . . . 'Good information!' Our choice of responses will determine our experience of life.

A process for discernment: God is my ultimate source of truth and wisdom, and dwells forever at the center of my being. Therefore, any thought, emotion, or action that takes me further from my center can be neither truthful, nor wise.

To understand ourself, we must understand our "selves," or the parts of us that motivate our thoughts, decisions, and behaviors.

The way to encourage people to be accountable is to engage the responsible, accountable, trustworthy part of their brain.

True 'magic' is simply the ability to transcend what seems to be and, thus, transform one's experience. Maybe we could all use a little 'Harry Potter' in our lives.

Perspective is what allows us to step back and see the entire forest instead of just the same old tree we keep running into again and again.

When we take no responsibility for any aspect of our past, we limit our ability to respond in the present and the future.
