Reclaiming Our Self Worth
One dictionary definition of the term “self-worth” reads: “the sense of one's own value or worth as a person; self-esteem; self-respect.” As I began to contemplate this subject I couldn’t help but think that if self-worth is about our own sense of value or worth, then...

Taking things Personally
One of my favourite authors Don Miguel Ruiz wrote a book called “The Four Agreements.” It is a short book packed full of wisdom. I have found that these four simple tenants of life can have a great impact if you begin to truly understand and practice them. I...

Perspective
Life is not as it is, but rather how we see it. How are you seeing your life right now? As we look around at the world, we tend to see all that is wrong as opposed to all that is right. Why is that? Perhaps it is because our view of the world — that which has...

Moving from Me to We
In my opinion, we are at a perfect time in our evolution to begin shifting from a “Me-centred” world to a “We-centred” one. Despite being taught such lessons as it’s better to give than to receive, and take care of others before you take care of yourself, we...

Appreciation
Appreciation as described in Dictionary.com is: “the act of estimating the qualities of things and giving them their proper value.” Another definition given to this word is: “recognition of the quality, value, significance, or magnitude of people and things.” So, as...

Life is a Reflection of Us
I have heard the saying, “as within so without,” for a long time, but only recently have I come to truly understand its meaning. What I now know is that whatever I see in someone else that really bothers me is really just an issue in my own life. This concept...

Accepting What Is
My life has changed significantly over the past several years because my perspective and my thoughts have changed. What I have come to realize that life is not as it is; it is how we see it. Reality only exists in our minds. My reality is not necessarily your...
