My Latest Insights
Sometimes I Miss My Old Self
There was a time when I was certain I had it all together. My ego ruled over my life with what appeared to be a reliable set of rules and beliefs forged out of my many experiences. My life worked pretty well then, and I loved and revered my ego’s beliefs. They were welcoming, reassuring and reliable, until one day when they were not.
Trust Your Journey of Self Fulfillment
I have never been comfortable letting go of control. I want what I want when I want it and don’t want to leave it up to chance. Trusting a Higher Power is very intimidating, and it takes great effort for me to let go and wait for the openings the Universe gives me. What if it is something I didn’t want?
Life is not a Battle Between Good vs Evil
Over the years, a majority of political, religious, government, and education leaders have insisted that forces of good and evil are forever battling for supremacy over the world. They encouraged us to adopt a large inventory of things moral and immoral, strong and weak, positive and negative, winners and losers, etc. Our life experiences propelled us to add to this list. Those things that caused pain are bad, and those that gave us pleasure are good. As we learned to judge and compare ourselves to others, we added names to the list’s winner and loser category, often using these people as a standard to gage our level of success in the game of life.
