Much of our anxiety and stress comes when we're focused on fear and disconnected from the voice of our inner guide.

You can't make people be or do what you want. All you can do is be unapologetic about what you want and let others show up however they can.

We're not really brought up in a culture where we believe we're meant to be happy, that peace is our birthright. It's not what we're taught; quite the opposite, actually. With all the expectations and the negative stories going on in the world, we have a lot to overcome.

At some point all lies are brought to the surface and truth comes forth no matter how hard we try to hide it.

There's a fine line between helping others and being a people pleaser, and mistaking one for the other can be hugely detrimental. When we put others' needs before our own, we deplete our energy, which can lead to depression, physical illness, and overwhelm.

To begin your commitment to new perceptions, start by paying attention to attack thoughts toward yourself and others.

By growing a spiritual practice, we are given all that we need.
