Make A Decision

Many years ago, I was speaking to a dear friend of mine, a long time spiritual advisor to me, about a difficult decision I had to make.  I could not figure out what the right thing to do was.  Neither option in front of me was necessarily better or worse than the other.  From an … Continue reading Make A Decision

Our History Is Not Our Fate

There is more to us than our personal history.  What we have experienced is only a small part of who we are.  It is an even smaller part of who we are meant to be or are capable of becoming.  While our experiences inevitably shape our attitudes, opinions, and expectations, they are not the sole … Continue reading Our History Is Not Our Fate
