Walking Through -- When Doors Open

www.dailyom.com When a door opens, walk through it. Trust that the door has opened for a reason and you have been guided to it. Sometimes we have a tendency to overanalyze or agonize over the decision, but it is quicker to simply go through the door and discover what’s there as that’s the only way to know. Even if it doesn’t seem right at first, opening this door may lead to another door that will take us where we need to go. Doors open whe… Continue

Listening to Our Bodies

www.dailyom.com Illness Lessons When our body, mind, and spirit are in balance, we experience good health. But sometimes we get caught up in life’s parade of change and movement, and things get out of balance. Just as there are seasons in nature, our bodies go through times of cleansing and times of activity. Illness is one way our bodies restore the balance they seek, as it cleanses the buildup of unwanted manifestations of negative energy… Continue

Michael Jackson: Purpose and Passion That Touched the World

www.valorieburton.com I was standing in the nose-bleed seats on the fifth level of Mile High Stadium with my parents, my cousin Tyrone, his dad - and most importantly, my binoculars. This was my first concert. I was never an excitable kid, but when Michael Jackson stepped onto the stage with his brothers for the "Victory" tour concert that night, my hands flailed in the air and I screamed uncontrollably - like one of those silly girls… Continue

The Ant and the Contact Lens (A True Story)

Brenda was almost halfway to the top of the tremendous granite cliff. She was standing on a ledge where she was taking a breather during this, her first rock climb. As she rested there, the safety rope snapped against her eye and knocked out her contact lens . "Great", she thought. "Here I am on a rock ledge, hundreds of feet from the bottom and hundreds of feet to the top of this cliff, and now my sight is blurry..." She looked and looked, hoping that somehow it had landed on the ledge... But i… Continue

The Wisdom of Sharing -- Stone Soup

www.dailyom.com There are many variations on the story of stone soup, but they all involve a traveler coming into a town beset by famine. The inhabitants try to discourage the traveler from staying, fearing he wants them to give him food. They tell him in no uncertain terms that there is no food anywhere to be found. The traveler explains that he doesn't need any food and that, in fact, he was planning to make a soup to share with all of them. The villagers watch suspiciously as he builds a fi… Continue

Tied In Knots -- The Journey of Release

www.dailyom.com When we become overwhelmed and things are not going as planned, it is natural to hold tighter to our goals and try to force things to go our way. In the process, we tie ourselves in knots, tensing our shoulders, jaws, and muscles throughout our bodies. Our mind tells us that this is how to get a firmer grip on a situation that feels out of control, but as we create knots in our bodies we are blocking the flow of our energy, exhausting oursel… Continue

Generosity of Spirit

Being Happy for Others www.dailyom.com We all want to be the kind of people who are happy for others when they experience success or a cause for celebration in their lives, but it isn’t always easy. Sometimes powerful, dark feelings come up at times when decorum dictates that we should be feeling the opposite.

An Enlivening Force -- Cultivating Inspiration

www.dailyom.com We all know inspiration when we feel it. It is a force that enlivens us and activates us to do something・we might dance, sing, paint the house, or envision a new career.

Use What You've Got

www.valerieburton.com As we set and reach for new goals, it can be easy to overlook the fact that we often have everything we need to get what we want -- if only we will maximize our opportunities and resources. For example, in business, companies can become so consumed with attracting new customers that they fail to grow their business with the customers they already have. In the process, they can lose their existing clients in an effort to gain new… Continue
