Sometimes changes come as gentle breezes — other times as tornadoes. When changes occur, we can choose how we'll respond. We can manipulate the situation or dive below the surface and align with peace.

Welcome and bless change. It promotes growth and restores equilibrium. There is no situation that cannot be changed. With love, there is no problem that cannot be solved. There is no heart that cannot be healed. It was Gandhi who famously said, "You must be the change you want to see in the world." In other words, we can initiate personal change and become a better person.

It’s through our everyday behavior that we know what really counts. Our commitment must be woven through all of life: our thoughts, emotions, words, and actions. How committed are you to your health? It's easy to make excuses and exceptions, but it's harder to get back on track once you've made room for them. Successful goal achievement requires 100% commitment.

Our lives reflect our thoughts, dreams, expectations, beliefs, actions, hopes, and feelings of self-worth. Knowing this, you can modify your inner states to better create your highest potential and vision.

You possess inside you the ability to think about, create, and become your best self. It begins by taking your thoughts off negativity and focusing on your goals. Let go, be hopeful, have faith, and dream BIG!

We attract into our lives what has our daily attention and awareness. So be mindful of what you are thinking. Thoughts engender experiences. Choose wisely and embrace optimistic, kindhearted thoughts.

One of the splendors of being human is our capacity to learn from our past mistakes. Holding on to guilt, shame, and pain serve no purpose. When we don’t heal our past, we sleepwalk through life. Awaken!

To be fully present each moment, we must free ourselves from the past. We must heal our pasts. If you don’t heal the past, it will repeat itself and keep you trapped in it. Here's how to heal the past.

Carpe diem. That’s Latin for “seize the day.” Each day offers us an opportunity to look at the world anew and celebrate being alive. You’ll never have an opportunity to live this amazing day again. Be mindful today.

Living in the moment is different from living for the moment. Children are masters of getting totally involved in whatever they are doing right now. They throw themselves wholeheartedly into life. Try it!
