Only a person who has passed through the gates of Humility can ascend to the heights of Spirit.  -Rudolf Steiner

Humility is a refusal of excessiveness. Humility allows me to see myself honestly and objectively without any comparison to others. While also being able to cultivate a deep and satisfactory feeling within.  I am telling the world that I am not better and greater than any other.

Humility is what frees us from the need of self-importance and denotes the strength of our character. Humility is expressed as modesty and harmony towards life. An understanding that there is something higher than us making us powerful beyond any measure.

 1. I am a blessed child of God. 

I’m an immortal, invulnerable spirit. A soul in the process of evolution. I am a cell in the universal body of the universal spirit and I am continually in contact with that universal power at some level. I am protected and sustained by that power.

2. I am happy, peaceful, loving and content.

My value as a human being does not depend on how much I accomplish or how intelligent I am, or how attractive I appear, but on how sincere my intentions and efforts are and how much they are in agreement with my inner values.

Love yourself —accept yourself—forgive yourself—and be good to yourself, because without you the rest of us are without a source of many wonderful things.” ~Leo F. Buscaglia

How much do you love who you are? How much beauty do you see within you?

WE ARE ALL beautiful children, shining our freedom, walking into life’s journey. We love ourselves, navigating through life, exploring and discovering each day.

BELIEVING that we love ourselves and deserve love is a vital component of our closer relationship with ourselves as it enables us to participate in intimate exchanges without experiencing the fear of vulnerability.

“You will never perform consistently in a manner which is inconsistent with how you see yourself.”
….Zig Ziglar

How do you see yourself and how is that image affecting your life?
What is showing up in your life?

Is it not working for you or not what you intended for your life?

Is there anything I need to fear in this moment?
Am I safe in this very moment?
What will happen to me if I simply love the fear?
Can I let the story of this fear unfold and can I stay with the fear long enough to allow myself to unfold into it?

Fear is one of the biggest obstacles in life. There are many types of fear that we face in our day to day. It’s an incredibly powerful force that acts against us in everything we do, preventing us from truly experiencing life and our Divine destiny. And make no mistake, there is no human that is unencumbered by fear. Those who are courageous have simply learned to manage their fear better than others.

Most people long to experience spiritual growth. We all want to live a more harmonious life in which they feel a sense of inner peace and contentment. But few are able to satisfy the basic needs of love and peace. Many live lives full of stress, conflict, worry, fear, anxiety and other negative emotions. This is not who we are. We are Spirit; the universal consciousness, which is one with God. There is a spark of Divine in each of us that is unchanging, omnipresent, all knowing. We all have the ability to live our lives in a state of bliss.

I’ve heard this question so many times and I have heard so many different responses. What spirituality means depends on who you ask. Some think it is New Age. I believe it is more of a way of being and living life of acceptance and alignment with all that is. Spirituality is basically a matter of consistency between our higher intellect (our conscience) and our thoughts, words and actions. It is when our thoughts and movements are in harmony with our conscience and the highest spiritual ideas within us.

Controlling anger is not an easy thing to do.  For most people it takes years of counseling, therapy and meditation to master their emotions, and even then there are some that never quite overcome it.  For those that do, they must first accept the fact that the forces that drive anger do not exist externally, but they come from within.  Once they come to terms with this reality, it’s simply a matter of identifying which emotion and belief that is at the root, and reprogramming the mind to be able to effectively control these feelings of fear and anger.  Here are 5 steps to do just that.

We are nonstop creators; we give everything a story and meaning. We create something out of nothing; we cannot bear to live with the unknown. But take a second to imagine giving nothing a story or a label. Take a moment to quiet the mind and look at everything like it’s the first time, with pure eyes, you will see it for what it is, which is simply as it is.

In this expansive quiet place, you only have awareness of the presence of life. By letting it be … Just “be?” No, we can’t do that, we like to make things interesting. So, we make up more beliefs, create more and more and we expand our thoughts … But to where?

“There is a voice inside of you
That whispers all day long,
I feel this is right for me,
I know that this is wrong.
No teacher, preacher, parent, friend
Or wise man can decide
What’s right for you–just listen to
The voice that speaks inside.”
― Shel Silverstein

Many people feel like they are failing in life or that life is failing them. This is painful and sometimes even feels unbearable. This is not who you are! This is only your perception of yourself.
