My ‘AHA’ moment! Time and experience have taught me that unless I understand an issue at all its levels, I cannot bring about a substantial transformation in my life.

It’s Critical Not to be Critical
It’s Critical Not to be Critical Have you noticed how some people just seem to find fault in everything? You go out with someone and buy them coffee but the cup is just not big enough (or small enough) or the chairs around the table should be blue instead of green, or the flowers on […]
Simple Living
Simple Living Mahatma Gandhi said: “Live simply so that others may simply live”. To live simply was the way of being for many cultures in the past, both in the East and West; to live in harmony with nature and its cycles, and to take only from the earth that which was absolutely […]
Meaning and Purpose
Meaning and Purpose Have you ever stopped to ask yourself, what is the purpose of life? For some this question provides a springboard to uncovering deeper significance and meaning in life. Others may strive relentlessly to ‘find their purpose’ – which may feel like chasing a rainbow. And yet many who experience life to be a […]
Natural Calamities May Not Be So Natural After All
Natural Calamities May Not Be So Natural After All We seem to assume that every natural calamity is an act of God or of Mother Nature. But is that so? Perhaps it is possible that we also have a big hand in the way matter behaves. If we care to look back within the last […]
Raise the Vibration of the World
Raise the Vibration of the World With all the gloom and doom we keep hearing in the news and in our everyday conversations, it’s so easy to get sucked into the negativity of fear and terror, and to feel low and depressed. This is the time in which, while the ‘leaders of the world’ make […]
Do You Get the Point?
Do You Get the Point? With so many things to give our attention to in life, we can very often get caught up in paraphernalia and miss the point! Learning to stay focused on what’s important and what is of value, takes a certain level of discernment and interest. To see the point can mean a few things. One is to […]
Be Wiser than a Miser
Be Wiser than a Miser What prevents us from giving when we know it’s really the right thing to be doing in that moment? Why is it so hard to give, when we have what the other wants, and may even have a lot of it? Why is it difficult for some of us to […]
Which Channel Are You Watching?
Which Channel Are You Watching? We can view life in any number of ways. We can see it as a comedy, a horror movie, or an entertaining drama! Depending on the channel we choose, we are entertained, horrified or saddened. Every situation is perceived according to our mood. One can laugh at it, get annoyed […]
Sleep Well
Sleep Well With the advent of the light bulb, we have turned night into day, and day into night. Although this may have done a lot for our productivity, it has deprived us of our pillow! With so many things to cram into our busy day, sleep is often the first thing to be sacrificed, […]
Mind Your Own Business
Mind Your Own Business It makes good business sense to mind our own ‘business’, rather than to constantly keep an eye on what our neighbours are doing! ‘Business’ here is not a reference to managing our shops, but rather to managing our own life events. Minding our own business means to keep our eyes, mind […]
Live with ‘THE END’ in Mind
Live with ‘THE END’ in Mind We are born out of silence and it is into silence we shall return We came alone and we shall go alone We came empty-handed and shall leave empty handed In between we get to experience… Laughter and tears Gladness and sadness Victory and defeat It is our choice! […]
