Why should you have an ‘attitude of gratitude’? Apart from your soul, nothing you have today will be with you forever. Said another way, you lose everything. The funny thing is the sooner we accept this fact, the sooner we begin to appreciate what is in our lives, right now. Recently, I was watching a movie from the 1970s where two gentlemen were bemoaning the loss of certain values in the recent times.

Jesus said, "Your whole body will be filled with light," and otherwise referred to the corp

How to stop sabotaging ourselves and program for a better future. The vicious cycle of self-recrimination: Whereas most of us will agree that our ‘issues’ stem from the negative influences in our past, few are aware of how the process works, and even fewer of our active part in it. Unfortunately, we are taught to take whatever we hear about ourselves as truths, often regardless of their origins, and do not understand that we are just as responsible for those ‘issues’ tha
