How to be a conscious parent Jun 02, 2022

Some of the biggest fears we have as parents are; "Am I doing it right?!... Am I enough? Am I giving them everything they need?"

And if we're not focused on ourselves and how we're doing, we're then focused on "They don't appreciate me", "they are so ungrateful", "I'm just a maid/ chauffeur and being bossed around".

As you read the above - what do you notice?

Do you believe in compromise? May 12, 2022

And what does it cost you?

“If we’ve been living a very compromised life, we may feel that we’re trapped. But we’re never trapped. If we begin right now to make small decisions and actions that don’t compromise our sense of inner integrity, then even one uncompromising act a day will make a difference. The more we learn not to compromise, the more we’ll begin to believe in ourselves again.

To live a life of genius, we have to start believing in ourselves again.
