In life, stress happens when you resist what arises.

A warrior does not give up what he loves, he finds the love in what he does

Coming to appreciate your worth can, in some cases, dramatically improve your circumstances by changing the choices you make and the actions you take. And as you begin to treat yourself with more respect, other people begin to do the same, since we subconsciously "train" others how to treat us through messages we send through body language, tone of voice, and other subtle cues and behaviors. Discovering your innate worth and living from that place allows you to make more constructive choices-to choose the higher roads of life

When we feel stuck, going nowhere-even starting to slip backward-we may actually be backing up to get a running start.

Life is not a private affair. A story and its lessons are only made useful if shared.

Stay present. You'll always have time to worry later on if you want to.

I wrote The Four Purposes of Life to assist in these endeavors.
