Healing from Within: Confronting the Hidden Gift of Conflict

Courage needs fuel. No one can accomplish anything in complete isolation. The fuel can come from an internal and ethereal Source that feeds conviction and reassures the person of their path.

What is the burning desire within you? Was there something that you’ve always wanted to do ever since you were young? Does it nag at you? Haunt you? Is it difficult to tame? Do you run from it because it seems unrealistic? Some desires are born out of insecurity and... Continue reading

Timing is everything. Pay attention to the need to move through stagnation. Stagnation can look like depression, sorrow, fear, and anxiety.

Something special and unique exists in each and every living being. No two people have identical fingerprints. Similarly, the mark they leave in the world is just as personal—and can resonate with others in an almost mystical way. Try walking through a museum and notice what art you are most...

Getting out of ourselves and reaching out to help someone else in need can have paradoxical magical cures to our own pains. Moreover, the foundation of one’s purpose is often filled with the resilience and grit from surviving struggles and pain. One of the cornerstones of resilience and grit is... Continue reading

Purpose frequently gets blocked by fear and ego-centered pride. People can stumble when they fear making a mistake or getting negatively judged and rejected. Sometimes people allow their ego-centered pride to become so inflated that they narcissistically seek endless attention, adulation, respect, and admiration from others. These relational energies can... Continue reading

A room of darkness can be transformed by lighting one candle. Living your purpose is much like a lit candle in a dark room. When you shine your light, it imbues light onto the surroundings and others around you. Shining your light also models it for others. It can inspire... Continue reading

While it is healthy and positive to find gratitude in the moment, heeding the Soul’s call of deeper discontent may also be a lifesaving wake-up call to spur you into action.

Finding meaning and fulfilling one’s purpose can be accomplished through many activities. Having a proverbial “day job” may provide income for paying for home, food, and basic necessities while painting, writing, or restoring an old car can serve to sate other essential soul needs.
