A great meditation teacher once said there should be no difference between meditating in a cave or in the center of a city because peace is inside us and is not dependent on external circumstances.

Chaos is natural if you look at the world, it's everywhere but to find your peace in the midst of chaos is something you have to deal with. Life is unpredictable and will bring about many different emotions and mind states that can be challenging and difficult, even unbearable at times.

But beneath all the dramas, distractions, and problems, there is a still and calm place you can rest in.

Goal-setting is an essential tool for self-motivation and self-drivenness. It gives meaning to our actions and the purpose of achieving something higher.

By setting goals, we get a roadmap of where we are heading to and what is the right way that would lead us there.

Goals play a dominant role in shaping the way we see ourselves and others. A person who is focused and goal-oriented is likely to have a more positive approach towards life and perceive failures as temporary setbacks, rather than personal shortcomings.

Imagine a small rowboat. Your goals are like the rudder on the boat. They set the direction and determine where you go. If you commit to one goal, then the rudder stays put and you continue moving forward. If you flip-flop between goals, then the rudder moves all around and it is easy to find yourself rowing in circles.

We go about our lives steeped in one mindset or another, without the clear realization that whatever it is we think about or focus on consistently, we move towards.

Not everyone believes in the power of their thoughts. They brush it off while dwelling on the past or fearing the future, not quite understanding that the very things that they are thinking about, they are inching closer towards.

The mind is the most powerful computer in the world at the moment.

Building confidence is one of those things that’s so important to how we live our lives. When we lack confidence we carry ourselves differently, we behave differently and that results in us thinking differently.

Confidence isn’t something that you have, confidence is something that you create. Let me help you create that confidence.

In most places were dealing with that second wave and I’m sure it feels like our whole world is being controlled. Which makes it feel like we don’t get a lot of say in our lives.

With the restrictions that have been put in place, our lives very much resemble the symptoms of depression so that is what a lot of us are experiencing. This feeling is overtaking us and stealing our joy.

As we get closer to the end of this year, it’s time for us to stop and reflect. We need to reflect on what we want the future to look like for us. Even if they don’t feel possible for us right now.

Making quality decisions will create this creativity, this excitement that builds up inside of us. That will allow you to start to strive towards something better eventually leading to you feeling more accomplished.

In the anxiety series, what you tell yourself matters.

In this pandemic, in this time of trial, tribulation, challenge, anxiety, stress, and overwhelm, it is critical that we get ahold of our thoughts.

What you focus on, you feel. The thoughts we allow ourselves to hold on to impact our outcomes, our results, our successes and our failures.
