Introspection and Humor

In this busy world, I find it incredibly important to have time to laugh and reflect. I want people to start having internal discussions. Challenge yourself and learn to become more passionate about your beliefs, while having a release from the every-day drain. I meditate often and promote this experience, it helps us tap into things inside our minds that we don't often attempt to connect with. If we can get beyond ourselves and our self-imposed limitations, we will be able to accomplish so much more.

The more I evaluate myself and the things around me the more I realize that I have an immediate impact on everything. If I don't like something, I can change it. I have the unique ability to look at areas of my life from a different perspective. Not necessarily even having to change things. Just looking from a different angle so colors brighten, shapes transform, scents enhance. By simply stepping back and looking through fresh eyes, we can have that unique experience every day. If we acknowledge that we will face difficulty in life, including pain, negativity and suffering, we can learn to morph that misery into a learning experience and potentially a benefit to us.
Challenges become successes. Hardships become blessings. The more we embrace our struggles and take them as they come, intentionally staring them straight in the face and not backing down, the stronger we become. The more intelligent and experienced we will be.
Nothing is too powerful for us to overcome, for we can be fearless and prepared to take on any challenge that is waiting.
