These days we are conditioned to view the world through the lens of one individual, and that individual is universally accepted as being ourselves. In itself, this isn’t necessarily a problem, but without the right frame of reference it can lead us down a very limited, narrow path.

We are all born free. We feel it, in the deepest recesses of our hearts. Everyone, from the youngest child to the wise elder, is aware that their choices are their own, by right. This our fundamental right to exist, to express our sovereignty in whatever way best pleases us, to go forth and move forward, to create a world in an image of our divinity.

Faith isn’t something that many people keep in the forefront of their minds when it comes to making decisions, but in fact it’s absolutely central to everything in life. Where else can we find the strength to manifest a new reality? Whether you’re trying to build a brand, spread a powerful idea or just dive in to a deeper understanding of yourself, it’s the power of faith that will ultimately take you there.

The spiritual path is a long journey, and though much of it is walked with joy there are also inummerable challenges we encounter along the way.
In the search for something authentic, something real, something pure and genuine, how can we identify sources of truth?

The world is full of impossible things, and people trying to tell us what can and can’t be done. But the world is also full of people who continually challenge that idea, push boundaries, and shatter limitations.
There is only one source of strength sufficient to overcome the barriers of a society trained to accept things the way they are – the infinite power of our deepest heart wisdom.

In this life, things won’t always go your way unless you are willing to go the way of life. It is from the sadness that we understand the power of joy, the loneliness which teaches us how to appreciate the special people in our life, and guilt that shows us the light of divine pride and glory. If we move through life expecting always to be happy, to always feel motivated and confident, we will inevitably encounter disappointment. And if we are not trained in appreciating those negative emotional states, then they can take a heavy toll on us.

Happiness is like a candle in the darkness, its light can shine for all to see, and when it is shared with others nothing is lost, the illumination only increases. This is the approach we must have if we really want to create a better world. Kindness is the fundamental condition of love in action, the most basic and yet most precious expression of our deepest nature.

When the time comes to reconnect with the flow of energy that guides us all back to our truest selves, we inevitably find ourselves at a crossroads. Ahead of us lie innumerable paths, each with their own trials and challenges, wisdom, lessons and experiences.

We are all aware on some level of a power greater than ourselves. It has many names, and many people attempt to speculate about its true nature, but the fact it exists is evident all around us. For those of us gifted in the creative arts, whether we are wordsmiths, natural performers, inspired thinkers or have an eye for design, there will always come a moment where we ask ourselves… Where does all this come from?

What gives us confidence to take action, to move forward in life?
Is it the feeling that we are superior to others? That we are greater than they are? That what we feel, or think, or what we have to say, is more important than the contributions of others?
It shouldn’t be that way at all.
