With the current situation that has caught the attention of the entire world, the pivotal question is; what is your intention?
The world has been brought to its knees. Never before in our known history has such a cataclysmic event crippled mankind like this. Bustling streets teaming with millions of people suddenly appear surreal, like ghost town scenes from a…..

Anger is a powerful and potent human emotion. It has potential to annihilate almost anything. Anger stems from discord and if not dealt with, it can sprout and develop into a bitter root that anchors itself deep within the human heart.

Ever had a friend who drove you crazy? They say the weirdest things and do things you will never dream of, yet you are still friends. Well, they say opposites attract. As a kid, my best friend was really good at athletics; she won medal after medal. I could not run fast enough…..

Happiness is an arbitrary thing. It can be a fleeting moment in the midst of our momentous life. How can we know if we are truly happy? Can happiness be measured on a happiness barometer?
Some people are happy all the time; what is their secret? Do they look at a glass half full or half empty?
Is a young child happy? Have you noticed that most of…..
A heart that has suffered grievous harm is a hurting heart. Hurt in the heart goes far deeper than hurt in the body. The heart and the head are connected and the one feeds of the other. When we are grieved in our spirit, it affects our mind and causes us to brood. Someone who is brooding is not engaging in productive activities because their mind is uneasy.
When you are grieving for a loved one who just lost the…..
