Creating lasting well-being requires shattering those habitual tendencies that lead to stress, frustration and heartbreak. Here are three paths I've been working on for years, and while I'm many miles from mastery, the more I practice, the more peace and happiness I find.

I've discovered six paths that lead to well-being -- some work instantaneously and some generate a much more lasting result. This week, I'll focus on the ones that work instantly.

Almost everyone can agree that the word "love" is jam-packed with power and meaningful emotion, but what I find most curious is how we deal with it when it's sandwiched in between the words "I" and "you."

Why is it easier to love out loud for products, things and places than it is for genuine relationships with people we value? Is it because we assume they already know? Do we get too busy in our own life affairs to take the time to share?

When it comes to love, actions speak louder than words, right? Not necessarily.

Love is the seat of creativity and shares with it similar desires and qualities of expression and expansion.

I wonder how many hold back their love. It "should" be the easiest thing in the world, but often it is not.
