It Ain't Necessarily So: How Bulletproof Is Your Bubble of Beliefs?

(98) Comments | Posted November 14, 2012 | 12:20 AM

That we all live inside our own self-created reality, or "bubble," was never more powerfully demonstrated than in the presidential election last week.

The Soul of a Citizen: Does Your Vote Really Matter?

(108) Comments | Posted October 31, 2012 | 10:20 AM

As a resident of California, I'm told that my vote doesn't really matter. The state is as blue as it gets, it'll go for President Obama whether I vote or not, so why bother to vote? It's not like the election is going to hang on my vote, or yours...

What's Hope Got to Do With It?

(66) Comments | Posted September 19, 2012 | 1:20 PM

Lately, I've been thinking about the role that hope plays in the human experience. I've been of mixed minds. Is hope useful, or is it a waste of time? Does hope give people anything substantial to cling to, or is it like cotton candy, sweet and satisfying in the moment,...

Ubuntu and Forgiveness: Keys to Living an Abundant Life

(62) Comments | Posted August 29, 2012 | 9:25 AM

Every human being who ever walked the earth has his or her own collection of beliefs, attitudes, opinions, behaviors and stories that speak to their struggle for self-realization and to their disbelief in themselves.

Africa, the birthplace of the first human, may just hold the key to the survival of humanity. How fitting and appropriate that the country where homo erectus was first identified is also the birthplace of the philosophy that points the way toward a sustainable future for us, its offspring.

"I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen...
