"What will bring me more joy, love, and peace this year?" I pose this question because happiness and personal fulfillment revolve around these three emotions. Joy, love, and peace are also the opposite of our other three emotions -- sadness, anger, and fear.

As a creative soul, and a person pursuing your dreams, you can’t afford to be a pessimist.

I like to think of getting balanced as tending to a large set of spinning plates on the ends of poles, like in a circus act. Spinning a bunch of plates at once is an active, dynamic process.

We are seeing many things around us that we know cannot last—the old way of doing or thinking of things—and we must completely “burn these out of our system” to make room for something much better.

A long day in the office can leave you empty of energy and overcome with desire for TV and a takeaway. But you’ve been sitting down all day. So why do you feel as tired as your friends who have physical jobs?

Perhaps I am just a bit, crazy and reckless, but I crave solitude in the wilderness, nature's divine temple.
