When someone causes you pain, agony or frustration, an immediate response is to react, rebuke, reprimand. Don't do that. Quickly reason whether the person is ill-informed, ignorant, wanton or just plain devious. Every which way, a calm and fitting response will be to forgive that person and wish them well at all times. When you respond this way, watch how relieved and happy you actually feel!!

Simplify your Life! Give away anything that you do not need and have not used in six months. Every single day, forgive those who mess around with you…for they will most likely not matter in your Life in a few weeks from now. If there is one thing you will never forgive yourself for doing, just don't ever do it! You will soon start being happy with what is, with who you are, with what you have – because you are now practicing detachment, giving, forgiveness and self-control!

Happiness is never about getting to some place or achieving something or getting what you want. It is being who you are, being content with what you have and being non-worrying, non-frustrated and non-suffering!

When you learn to stop resisting pain, you learn the art of acceptance. And it is only through accepting what is that you learn to be happy despite your circumstances.

Bliss has a very stealthy way of entering your Life, it comes calling when you are least expecting it…but it is a call that you cannot refuse…that is why it is called your ‘calling’!

Never surrender in hopelessness. It is never the last resort. It is the ONLY resort. Surrender in joy at having found a way out of 'maya' or 'life's trials and tribulations'. When you surrender in joy you will encounter and feel faith....that magical something you can never see but only experience. Remember: The Lord's waiting for your surrender and when you do, you will be lifted, embraced, energized and liberated!

There’s a beauty, a romance to Life even in its darkest moments…this is when you awaken to do something meaningful for yourself, for the world, to make it a better place! So, love your crisis, embrace the darkness…allow yourself to be led by Life, to arrive where you are truly meant to be.

To go through Life's upheavals is an act of courage. So, to wear your Life on your sleeve and share your journey is not just supremely courageous, it is also an act of compassion. In your sharing, you touch other lives, making our world a better place.

The best way to live Life is to flow with it; accepting what is, making sincere efforts to repair whatever needs fixing and trusting the process...
