Compassion Without Attachment

The concept I’m about to talk about is probably one of the most important ideas on my journey to happiness. If we were to only take one step toward positivity in our lives, to me, this particular concept alone would vastly improve our well-being.… Continue Reading “Compassion Without Attachment”

A Balance to Selfishness

Someone recently asked me about how to find a balance between selfishness and selflessness. I thought this was an amazing question, so I decided to really think about it and dig deeper. Naturally, I turned to the Dalai Lama’s wisdom for advice, as this… Continue Reading “A Balance to Selfishness”

Self-Love

I have had a lot of people tell me lately that they think self-love is the most important factor when trying to improve their lives and be happy. I couldn’t agree more with this! But it is easy to say self-love is important and… Continue Reading “Self-Love”

Today I am going to talk about something that I have avoided for a long time. I haven’t wanted to talk about it because of the shame that comes with it and the worry of what the person involved will think. The last thing… Continue Reading “Abuse”

When I Lost My Older Sister

It’s been incredible to discover so many people that are also… Continue Reading “On Those That Don’t Support Your Progress”

Taking Ownership of Your Life

Not too long ago, I was in a bit of a rut. I was feeling left out of a few things and overanalyzing what some people thought of me. I was getting all down on myself, so I started writing my thoughts down and… Continue Reading “Taking Ownership of Your Life”
