A New Year, A New Decade, An Evolving You

January 1, 2020 By Rick Leave a Comment

As we look forward to what might come in the New Year, even the New decade, I think it’s important that we remember to stay true to the self we know we are inside.

Too often we let other people and external events dictate our path and decide what we should do.  I think it’s important that we know what we value, what we believe, and remain true to those, regardless of external pressures.

Act On Your Dreams

December 30, 2019 By Rick Leave a Comment

Act on your dreams.  Be bold in your actions.  Some will be suspicious but do it anyway.

Far too many times we hide who we really are and who we want to be.  We have these grand thoughts of what we would like to do but we cover them up, push them deep down inside ourselves because they might go against “the norm.”

We think others might ridicule or scorn us for these dreams or for the way we would like to live.  And, most importantly I think, we hide what we truly believe about life, especially spirituality.

Sufficient, But Not Finished

December 27, 2019 By Rick Leave a Comment

Make your journey one of compassion.

Be still and know that who you are today and what you have now is sufficient, but not finished.

Far too often we’re not satisfied with where we are and what we have.  It seems we’re always searching for something more, something in the future that we think we must have in order to be satisfied and happy.

Be Strong In Your Convictions

December 23, 2019 By Rick Leave a Comment

Be Strong in your Convictions

When you believe in something, don’t let go or give up.  Be strong in your conviction that this is what you must do.

When things get tough, don’t take the easy road.  Don’t give up on yourself. Know why you chose the path you’re on and then remain true to it.  Be strong in your conviction that what you’re doing is what you need to be doing right now!

Spiritual Answers

December 16, 2019 By Rick Leave a Comment

We look for answers

to the mysterious questions of life.

But then we stop

when the soul is ready to answer.

Accept the truth

that waits for you in your heart.

Fear not the spiritual

and you’ll find the answers you need.

Live what you find

and connect with the spirit in others.

Know Your Deep Desire and Take the First Step

December 13, 2019 By Rick Leave a Comment

What is the deep desire

We talk of journeys, in search of discoveries.  But what is the deep desire that forces the first step?

Are you on your life’s journey?  The one you want to be on? Be truthful.  Are you living your authentic life or are you hiding it, afraid of what others might think?

When You Need Inspiration

December 12, 2019 By Rick Leave a Comment

When you need inspiration, look to your dreams and so something – anything – that comes from the heart.

Far too often we allow ourselves to feel hopeless about where we are in life and what we’re doing.  We wish to be doing something else and be someone else. We want to be spectacular and make a difference.
