Others Think My Goals Are Trivial And Foolish
Our goals very personal. They are things that we have named that are useful and meaningful to us. Just because we think a goal is worth working for doesn't mean that the people in our life will think the same things are important or valuable.

Internal Peace Is A Process (That Is Well Worth The Effort)
In my experience, internal peace is not something that happens at the flip of a switch. As Lyndon B. Johnson said, "Peace is a journey of a thousand miles and it must be taken one step at a time." Just because it is a long journey it doesn't mean that we don't see the fruits of that work until we reach the end of the journey. With each step … [Read more...]

Needing To Be At Peace With Ourselves
It is really easy to look at the world and notice only the things that bring a sense of disharmony in our lives. I like William Hazlitt’s thought, "Those who are at war with others are not at peace with themselves." The place we need to start our work is to work on finding peace within ourselves. Today we are going to tap for finding that … [Read more...]
Sometimes I Care Too Much
It is good to have goals that we care about, but sometimes we care so much that reaching them consumes us, filling our thoughts night and day. When this happens our goals take on much more significance than is appropriate and we set ourselves up for a major letdown when we don’t reach them. Today we are going to tap for when we let our desire … [Read more...]
I Just Don’t Care Any More

When this happens we can get so frustrated that it feels like we no longer care if we reach our goal or not. The work we are doing seems so fruitless that we just don't want to try anything else.

Your Life As A Gift
