Choose carefully

His army had to either move forward, or die. There was no going back. So what will you do when faced with the possibility of exploring new territory? Will you move forward and blaze new trails, or sit by the pool with a cozy mojito, and spin tales of your past? In the real world, you must choose new trails, or relinquish your future to the retelling of old tales. Choose carefully. The post Choose carefully appeared first on Healthy Mind Heart Body.

Fear – You Will No Longer Control Me
We see it all of the time. With friends and family that are into something that just causes them pain and suffering. We wonder to ourselves why on earth are they still in the situation they are in? Could it be that they are happier in misery? Perhaps. But for the most part it could be that these people, in these unhappy and unhealthy situations, just don’t know how to get out of them or they are afraid to take steps on their own to change for the better.

Thought of the Day-2/1/2014
Do not worry about the sins of others, think only of the sins you commit. For we are each responsible for our own sins, not the sins of others.

Preaching of hellfire …
February 2014 Local Talk and Meditation
This February I'll be hosting a free talk called, "Opening Your Heart to Difficult Moments." So often, I get questions about how to deal with difficulties from death to trauma to troublesome co-workers to bad relationship break-ups.

Otherwise, we tend to hold onto these things and torture ourselves with "what-if" statements and mental regurgitation that serves no purpose but to continue our suffering.Obviously, being open-hearted in a difficult moment doesn't always mean that we enjoy it, so in this talk, I'll offer some ideas about becoming heart…
