Thought for Today

Complications seem to be an inevitable by-product of modern living. Simplicity gives birth to inspirations. Keeping my own mind calm and clear is the easiest method to sort out messy situations. Maintaining a balance of living simply yet comfortably, and only using what I really need of the earth’s resources, I will always have abundance…

If you don’t live life on purpose you live life by accident. Which is why some days feel like a motorway pile up! The highest purpose is always giving, or serving others, without wanting anything in return. This is why relaxation is always impossible if we are always ‘on the take’. There is an overall…

By forgiving, we not only find peace of mind but also free ourselves to move on and forward. Are you ready to forgive and…

We relate to people more easily and feel no need to draw attention to our successes or…
