How To Discover The Message You’re Meant To Share With The World

Shelley Bullard writes: You have a message. Yes, I’m talking to you.

Maybe you know what your message is, or maybe you don’t. Either way, you have one. And sharing it with the world will make you feel incredibly fulfilled from the inside out.

Expressing your message doesn’t have to be a big production. Messages can be loud, but they can also be quiet. They can be discrete, and they can be bold. The importance of a message doesn’t rest on how it’s expressed; the importance comes from how deeply it resonates for you, and how it impacts the world.

Deep down, we’re all called to be of service. What this means is that most of us are consciously aware of a desire to help others. Even more than that, most of us recognize that this desire is actually our purpose in the world. Continue reading “How To Discover The Message You’re Meant To Share With The World” →

How to Deal With Betrayal

Christine Hassler writes…

Betrayal. Yuck. It’s one of the human experiences that can be so painful and hard to understand. It hurts when you feel lied to or when someone you thought you could trust shows you something different. When we feel betrayed or like our trust is broken, it’s natural to want to hang on to the anger, resentment, blame and “how could she” or “I can’t believe he” thoughts. But this keeps us in victim consciousness and only perpetuates our suffering.

There is a way out of the suffering. There is a way to bring lightness to this seemingly heavy experience.

Last week after receiving some unexpected information, I found myself in the depths of feeling betrayed. I did get through it and so can you!

Can You Change Other People?

Q. How many psychologists does it take to change a light bulb?

A. One, but the light bulb has to want to change.

The best way to help other people change is to learn about how to change your own behavior. The more you know about the factors that drive your own behavior, the better you can use the same principles to help other people change.

Realizing Our Undefended and Awakened Heart

I’m listening to a dharma talk by Tara Brach this morning that I’d like to share with you. She says…

It is our evolutionary and spiritual potential to release unnecessary habits of violating other tribes, individuals and unwanted parts of our own being. This talk explores three essential facets of the pathway to awakening: Leaving the fortress of aversive judgment, entering the wilderness of our embodied being and encircling this life with love.

Of Course I’ll Hurt You…

“Of course I’ll hurt you. Of course you’ll hurt me. Of course we will hurt each other. But this is the very condition of existence. To become spring, means accepting the risk of winter. To become presence, means accepting the risk of absence.” Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
