At some point in life, we’ve all been let down by people in whom we placed our trust. . All of us were taught to give people the benefit of the doubt, and we’re inclined to take people at face value. But on the stage of life, people wear masks and we have to be careful of being blindsided.

The Importance of Balancing Your Emotions with Logic

Have you ever said or done something on the spur of the moment, only to regret it later? After reflecting on it, you may have said to yourself, “what was I thinking?” or “that’s not like me at all!”

Whether it’s those momentary lapses in judgement or the choices that you made which led to unsavory situations, you may wish you had thought things through before reacting. During those times, it may feel like your emotions clouded your mind and narrowed your vision.

While it’s tempting for us to blame our feelings for our lack of discernment, it’s actually our inability to balance our emotions with logic that’s at the root of the problem.

The good news is that we’re capable of tempering our passions with the calm and clarity of our thoughts. In this podcast, I provide a few tips and tolls that we can use to achieve this state of mind. By internalizing this power, you’ll make better decisions that move you closer towards success.

The solution is to slow down and connect with the sacred in everyday life. By connecting with the sacred, you will experience the kind of pleasure that comes from living from the center of your life and being in tune with your mind and heart.

In this podcast episode, I share a couple of ways that you can achieve this.

Why the World is Far Better United than Divided

The idea of a united world sounds appealing, but the pragmatic side of us might question whether it’s realistic and sustainable given the complexity of local and international issues.

With the rise of nationalism in Europe and the U.S., the bigger players are choosing to spend their energy and money on domestic affairs it’s become even more challenging to achieve.

But I believe that the energy we use to build walls and armies could be put to better use in creating mutually beneficial policies and in aiding efforts to promote world peace. It may seem as if you, as an individual, can’t really do much to bring nations together. But that’s far from the truth.

In this episode, I outline the importance of unifying the efforts of various nations and how you can contribute to the process.

Everything in the universe is made up of frequency, energy, and vibration - we are an extension of that. We have our own unique vibrational frequency that interacts with everything around us.

Universal laws regulate all aspects of creation. The seeming chaos that we perceive is part of intelligent design. Yet most people are either unaware of these laws and how they operate, or they resist the idea of the impact they can have on their lives.

In this episode, I outline the six most important principles that you should be aware of and how you can apply them in your personal situation and master your circumstances.

Living from the heart will allow you to experience life in vibrant colors, with rich textures that will surely take your breath away. In this episode, I get into the many ways that you can benefit from living a heart-centered life and share a couple of ideas on how you can achieve this.
