Expectations are one dimensional. We can only have expectations of ourselves and work towards bringing those expectations to life. If we invest into having expectations of others we invite pain and regret into our lives, which you can agree is foolhardy. People act out what they think of themselves and there is […]
If we hold to the tenet that nothing changes with respect to our life, our family and lifestyle we feed energy into the concept of suffering. Life holds no secrets, we know that as we sow we reap, and that all life eventually dies. In this life there are no guarantees. Chameleons are […]
We live constantly in fear of not having enough and not being enough. Fear is the shadow that follows us in our dread of loneliness, disease and death. The presence of fear is an opportunity to engage that fear and see what, like a mirror, it is reflecting to us. Fear is only […]

In order to deem ourselves exclusive and worthy of exemptions we have to inherently work within the guidelines of marginalization and exploitation. All of us are born into greatness. No one is greater than the other. If we consider ourselves intelligent and moral we would recognize our common humanity and work towards eliminating all […]
Grief, especially when it is caused by death can be debilitating. We ask the question: Why me? We aren’t singled out for pain and misery. As long as we are alive, joy, love, happiness, health, sickness and death occurs although not in that order. Life ends in what we call death. […]
