If you continue to put energy into a dream, it has to come to fruition. It may not always show up exactly like it did in your imagination but, when it finally does arrive, it’ll be in the perfect form for you. Keep your attention regularly focused on it. Imagine it’s already happened and notice the way success feels in your body. Experience the pleasure of it as if it’s a done deal. Correct your course as necessary and continue on. If you never stop working your dream…

It can’t help but come true.

Whenever you’re caught up in an interpersonal drama, you’re most likely drawing on a story about the past, or fearing something in the future. Since you can only be in your power when your attention is focused in the here and now, the story makes you less effective. Making your point with great eloquence won’t get you back to reality. Neither will escalating the volume or pitch. There’s only one action that will empower and transport you from the discomfort of conflicting interpretations of reality back to peace of mind…

Getting present.

The way you respond to others reveals more about you than it does about them. When you take offense to something, it’s actually your interpretation of what they said that causes your reaction. You can’t ever know exactly where they’re coming from or precisely what they mean, even they attempt to clarify. If you were able accurately understand their intention, you’d see that, in spite of how it sometimes may seem…

Nothing is ever personal.

When you give, you receive multiple benefits. You feel good when you think about giving, again when you actually give, and finally, every time you remember what you’ve given. Enjoying such tangible rewards from the act of giving indicates that they’re not that different. Even though it’s not so obvious to the rational mind, the best way to experience abundance is to give to others…

Highly enriching.

The importance of self-awareness has been emphasized in various ancient traditions from the Oracle at Delphi to Lao Tzu. The advice written at the Temple of Apollo is to “Know Thyself.” Lao Tzu says, “He who knows others is wise; He who knows himself is enlightened.“ Questioning the validity of your own thoughts is a quick way to free yourself from the spell they have over you. Your inner sage gradually awakens to see clearly through the veil of illusion created by unconscious conditioning. Wanna wake up?

Stop believing everything you think.
