Listen Well And Hear The Truth
There are countless lessons available to us each and every day, if only we take a closer look. Listen well, and you’ll hear the truth.
The Illumination Of The Mind Has Ebbs And Flows
There is a dark side to becoming more mindful. Thankfully, this is often a necessary part of the process, and ultimately leads to a wise view of yourself and the world.

And if we don’t pay attention to the little things, the effects will compound and we lose the opportunity to be who we want to be.
Keep Going
