Exploring Religions

If you weren't born into a certain religion, though, you probably have no clue where to start. Andrew Bowen has developed a challenge of trying one religion per month for a year. Last year, he learned and practiced Hinduism, the Baha-i faith, Zarathushtra and Judaism to name a few. At the end of his conversion journey, he didn't choose one religion, as originally planned. Instead, he has become a new convert towards Immersionism. Overall, he became more spiritual.

Its Chill Time: The Power of Reflection

Lately I have been reflecting on my past, present, and future as I open the next chapter of my life.  June 3rd I leave for training in Basking Ridge NJ to work for a consulting company and the first week of July I leave my family and friends to start a life in another city.  Am I scared?  As Wayne and Drizzy would say, "HYFR".  I'm extremely scared about this next chapter.

Try something new for 30 days

Have you ever thought of running a marathon, becoming a novelist, or beginning a new exercise regime?
'The next 30 days are going to pass whether you like it or not, so why not think about something you have always wanted to try and give it a shot for the next 30 days.”

Keys for Sucess: Sometimes you just need to chill out

Watching a YouTube video by Taren916 reminded me how important it is to just chill out. Sometimes it is very easy to get worked up when things do not end up going the way we want. Whether it is that job position that we wanted or that grad school that we envisioned ourselves attending in the fall, we often overlook the blessings that we do have in our lives. We often burdened ourselves with the constant thought of the "What if?" and the other questions of self doubt. Did  I talk to fast in my interview? Did I say something wrong? What if I wore my hair differently? However, as soon as we find ourselves asking these questions we must Stop. These questions can never be answered because the fact is for the most part we will never know. What we do now is that everything happens for a reason and when one door closes another opens so have faith.
