When we think of the word commitment, it conjures up in our minds the thought of being irrevocably bound in thought and act to some cause or some promise. We make a pact with ourselves or with an ‘other’ about a certain thing or a certain course of action that we will take and we [...]
Letting go helps us in two ways.
One, it allows us to move forward and approach new experiences with a fresh attitude.
Two, it keeps old experiences from coming in and influencing our current realities.
Whenever we want to go somewhere, we focus on that particular point or location. Remember the previous post on focusing on what you [...]
In Mike George’s book 1,001 Meditations, a meditation entitled ‘Rock in the River’ is mentioned. This is particularly great if you have a small kid.

Whether it’s something as small as a leaf with it’s intricate design or something as grand as an elaborate musical arrangement, find at least one thing each day that strikes you as wonderful.
