The Power of AND™: Allowing REAL Peace and SO Much More
Many years ago, I was deeply touched by a powerful line in the film, “Conversations with God” (based on the real events that opened a life-changing dialogue and series of books for author Neale Donald Walsch, co-founder of Humanity’s Team/Humanity Stream+), a movie included with my subscription to a good-vibe cinema club called, “The Spiritual Cinema Circle,” co-founded by Stephen Simon (producer of “What Dreams May Come” and many more).

Why I Hate the Movie “It’s a Wonderful Life”
This is NOT a popular sentiment during the Christmas season. Don’t get me wrong, when I’ve watched it, I have felt moved and cried at the end, but I also would find myself feeling resentful and angry in the couple hours following the movie. I could sense it was triggering me somehow.
THE HARD TRUTH… no one will tell you about reaching your potential and living your dreams.

The 3 Irrational Beliefs Behind Emotional Suffering—and How to Break Free
What if the pain you’re feeling isn’t caused by your circumstances—but by your thinking? Most emotional pain comes from how we interpret life, and chances are, you’ve unknowingly been holding on to beliefs that aren’t true. These irrational beliefs and emotional suffering go hand in hand.

The Ghost Ship of Irrevocable Choices
Even small decisions dramatically alter our lives, and a decision to do one thing always takes away an opportunity to do something else.

Each day offers an opportunity to make a new decision; however, not all decisions are created equal.

We all have pain. It’s inevitable. It’s part of life. But, the first thing I want to get clear is that there’s a difference between pain and suffering.

You can always change your point of view.
