Think positively! Look on the bright side! If you’re having a hard time, this may be the last thing you want to hear. And if you can’t see a bright side, you may consider pessimism to be a much more realistic approach to life. If so, you’ve probably never tried using positive affirmations …but you’ve been using negative ones, without […]

Having faith in something outside of yourself undermines your evolution and distorts your essential humanity, whereas having faith in self is like rocket fuel for your life, opening […]

Forget about dieting, becoming a better person or increasing your finances. Instead, focus on being more you, this year. It’s not only a lot more fun, but also healthier, more sustainable and more rewarding—while incidentally bringing you the enhanced well-being, abundance or fulfillment you may be seeking.

A new kind of relationship dynamic may be coming soon to a Smart phone near you: e-divorce.
