We come across all kinds of people in our lives. Some of them we like, some of them we don’t. Some of them like us, some of them don’t. That’s perfectly fine. No matter what we think of others, what we assume of others, I believe we must find it in ourselves to be kindContinue reading “Be Kind, Always!”

Choosing your Battles
Choose your battles means to be selective of the problems, arguments, and confrontations that you get involved in. Instead of fighting every problem, you save your time only for the things that matter. This means fighting the most important battles and letting go of the rest. Choose your battles wisely. After all, life isn’t measured by how many timesContinue reading “Choosing your Battles”
Be Who YOU Want To Be
Do you believe that you can reinvent yourself and change who you perceive yourself to be and your relationship to the world? Or do you believe that you are destined to carry on as the person you have always been? Half of you probably like who you are, but some of you might still feelContinue reading “Be Who YOU Want To Be”
Happiness is a State of Mind
I’m sure you have heard this phrase many times. Although it sounds completely legitimate, it seems unachievable, at least to you. Most of us are like this. We take pride in making philosophical and deeply inspired conversations about happiness and things in life that truly matter, yet when it comes to our own lives, weContinue reading “Happiness is a State of Mind”
The Secret to Success – 3 Bones
This quote is often attributed to songwriter Reba McEntire, but was infact first said by Dr. Kavanagh during his talk on ‘Moral Anatomy’ – as cited in the New Rochelle Pioneer way back in 1908.

During tough times, one of the toughest things to do is to stay focused upon the few things that you can control, while refusing to be distracted by the many things you can’t. In my experience, I’ve found only three things that I can consistently control –my thoughts, my attitude and my effort. Let meContinue reading “Control what you CAN”
Only Time Can Understand Love
Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island was going to sink, so they all need to vacate it as soon as possible. All the feelings prepared their boatsContinue reading “Only Time Can Understand Love”
Little Things Go A Long Way
Each and every day, we’re inundated with stories about how the world is going to hell. War, poverty, pollution… all manner of atrocities are flung at us from all directions, and it’s enough to draw even the most lighthearted person into a pit of despair. Fortunately, a great way to counteract all that ugly isContinue reading “Little Things Go A Long Way”
Excuses Zaps Your Motivation
When I saw this quote, the first thing that came to my mind is the inspiring story of 11 year old James who had a big, impractical idea. He was going to graduate from high school. Before you dismiss what would seem an alarmingly average accomplishment, consider his story. James lived in rural, war-torn Uganda. HeContinue reading “Excuses Zaps Your Motivation”
Living within your Means
Being financially responsible is important for your health and your financial life. To “live within your means” means that what you spend each month is less than or at least equal to the amount of money you bring in each month. For many people, it’s a lot easier said than done. When your lifestyle exceedsContinue reading “Living within your Means”
