Spirituality for Living

Change isn’t some alien force that makes us uncomfortable in our lives. Change isn’t any form of victimization that just makes us feel like we have no control. In fact things like fire, and flood, and earthquake are very far from new. The wind has rose in destructive storms for as long as humanity can [...]

If you tell me my car was stolen, and I was not concerned about my car, not focused on anything to do with the car, is that really change for me? Oh, it might change for me later as my focus changes, but what if I have an attitude that the car just doesn’t matter, [...]

To overcome my fear of change, I need to work on my focus? Yes, change is what you see it to be. Realize that change is what you say it is. What you think, and feel, and believe it is.

I have scary news, and it’s terrible.  There is no failure. No matter what you do, you did that.

If you want change and change is natural, understand the part that is yours. Which is you? You can do new things when you learn new things. You don’t have to say, “I was dumb, but now I’m smart”. That isn’t true, you are you. Do you know you? You are the one who can [...]
