One key to creating a meaningful life, is choosing what we want to feel, and for how long.

All connections are infused with dreams of what is possible in the future. Thus, when we lose something or someone important to us, we aren't just grieving the loss, we are grieving the shattered dream.

When faced with conflicting thoughts and emotions, we must decide what to trust, what we fear, or what we know. What's important is that this decision be made by the knowledgeable versus the anxious part of who we are.

The most successful form of correction is when the "other" feels informed versus chastised.

We've all heard that in life, when one door is closed, another is opened. Unfortunately, many of us are so focused on the darkness left by what has been lost, we never see the light coming through the newly opened door.

Change isn't always easy, but with purposeful practice, any old habit can be replaced with a way of being we would recommend to those we love.

The problem with lethargy is that doing nothing validates the fear that nothing can be done.
