However, we do then get A SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY… an incentive to change our lives! This is another important life lesson (No. 23): A CRISIS F

Right now, things might look bad or even grim! But no bad situation is unresolvable. No matter how daunting or impossible the task might at first seem, there is a solution. Sometimes it’s good to remind our-self of this, especially when things get tough! The best answer to a problem requires tapping into our innermost Nature. We connect by tuning in with heart-felt sincerity & humility. Heart based strategies bypass the self-sabotage mechanisms of our Ego-mind. To do this we
