Are we our greatest friend or greatest enemy? We can only answer this question by observing our behavior.

We have hopes and dreams, and possibly even grandiose visions for our future. However, when it comes down to it, are we really ready for those dreams to manifest? Do we even believe they are possible?

Whatever our goal, whatever our vision, there is always a next step. And that is sometimes where we get bogged down. Either because we don't know what the next step needs to be, or because we see too many steps to take or too many possibilities...

Many of us on the "spiritual path" are quite willing to give of ourselves, but have a harder time accepting what we need... whether that is love, assistance, generosity from others, compliments, blessings in all forms. 

We all have various wants and needs. And the things you need are not necessarily the same as the things you want.

Our time seems in short supply, even though we still have the same amount of time we've always had each and every day -- 24 hours. 1440 minutes, or 86,400 seconds. What has changed is our use of that time.

In order to be true to ourselves and to our life's path, we must be ourselves in all our quirkiness, our strangeness, our individuality.

One of the best attitudes we have in our "toolbox" of life is gratitude. When we place our energy, our thoughts, our actions, on being grateful for what we have and for the possibilities in our life, we open the door wide to that energy.

One of the blockages to advancing on our life's path is our self-judgment. We tend to judge and criticize ourselves for things we have done, or things we didn't do that we think we "should have done" or could have done better...

Life consists of choices... some are "good" choices, and others not so good. However every choice helps us build a foundation of wisdom gained from experience.

The seeds of abundance are everywhere in our life, both in nature, and in our own day to day experiences. But when we are gearing our actions on fear, or doubts, and trying to control the outcome, we...

The focus for today is:  Love is the key to discovering my true self.

Each one of us is unique -- not only in physical appearance, but our emotions, thoughts, and dreams are also unique. Thus, when we choose to be true to the path of our Higher Self, that won't look like anyone else's path. There will be similarities of course, but our path is uniquely ours. It is created by us and for us.

Any changes we want to have take place in our lives we need to do ourselves.

Do we want to be in control of it all, or do we want to enjoy it instead? After all, we can't enjoy what we are anxiously trying to control.

As we learn to accept ourselves with our mistakes, we relax. Relaxing is important on the spiritual path.

If you've ever daydreamed or "spaced out" in line at the grocery store checkout counter, you can meditate.

"Overload syndrome" is a temporary anxiety and depression state that results from becoming overburdened with too many work, household, volunteer, or social obligations...

Once you learn to use money rightly, you will find gains on many levels. Your abundance, energy, joy — all will expand. 

Shakespeare declared, "Self-loving is not so vile a sin, as self-neglecting." 

We must reprogram ourselves with deservability: "I am worthy!" "I deserve the best." "I deserve love."

Sometimes it just takes a change of attitude to make your current job more fulfilling. Listen to your heart.

Eastern wisdom traditions teach that because our thoughts, feelings, and desires are constantly changing, we will never achieve enduring happiness or peace of mind through objects, relationships, or anything outside ourselves.
