"We don't realize that, somewhere within us all, there does exist a supreme self who is eternally at peace."  ~Elizabeth Gilbert

I suspect Elizabeth Gilbert realized something that is probably common awareness at best, and common knowledge at least. And to a lesser degree, she speaks newly to those who may not know the truth of an eternally peaceful self; there is such a thing.

With certainty, I have known the existence of a supreme self within. Though conscious of [a] deeply rooted "supreme...

"Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them." 

~William Shakespeare

It doesn't matter where you are from, or where you are currently. Whether poor or rich, dark or light skinned, short or fat; life matters and so does your ability to choose to be that which you must become.

Why do good people habitually submit themselves to negative thinking, speech, circumstances or people or groups of people who harbor bad attitudes towards themselves, others, and life in general (especially those who are aware of how detrimental doing so is to emotional, mental and physical health)?

It should be no news flash that [negative] stress, if not well managed, can kill by various means and ways of manifestation. By identifying negative attitudes, and those who represent them, you...

Forget about it, already. 2011 is history, no doubt, and 2012 is a new year for a new beginning, or an extension of positive development carried forward. Regardless if one plays the game of proclaiming [new] resolutions, or not, like this new year, each day the sun rises from the dusk to usher in the dawn, we may choose perceptions of awareness that lead to greater becoming and spiritual growth; it's an opportunity for change!

But the journey of change, in most cases, is not one that flashes...

"Grown men can learn from very little children, for the hearts of the little children are pure. Therefore, the Great Spirit may show to them many things which older people miss."  

~Black Elk (Native American Indian)

Certainly, most who are blessed with the opportunity to raise, teach, guide, protect and moreover (hopefully) learn from The Great Spirit's gift of little souls, recognize the divine opportunity to be enlightened by their courageous acts – historically and even in recent days...

At one point in your life you either have the thing you want or the reasons why you don't.  ~Andy Roddick

Not only at one point, but at many points throughout one's journey do we realize, or not, the manifestation of desired outcomes. These various dreams deferred do or do not materialize as often or as quickly as we may wish them into being. Does this mean, however, that we cease imagining with greater creative focus? Hopefully, the answer within you is "no!"

Life's routines and random...

A living legend, Joe Paterno (a.k.a, JoePa), former head coach of Penn State University's football program, and the architect of 409 victories, is learning the harsh lesson about loyalty for the wrong reason(s). Paterno's former assistant coach, Jerry Sandusky, was arrested earlier this week in relation to child sex abuse charges leveled against him. According to reports, Paterno was aware of at least one of the criminal acts Sandusky committed against one of several young boys.

As a result...

The world is filled with not only multitudes of blessings, but as many pot holes and pitfalls as well. I often wonder, however, how many of us are mindful and thankful for blessings and good times and good circumstances. Do we recognize and give thanks only when times are good, or when good things occur, or do we remember humility when the road is troubled? I suspect, considering the current (seemingly) chaotic state of western world economic conditions, that perhaps now is the time to be...
