Nobody or Body? A popular saying among spiritual teachers is "You're Not the Body." Since authoritative gurus/teachers say those words, people believe them. If we aren't our body, then we're…
Creativity Creativity occurs in the gap between our vision and our reality. Ideally, that gap is constantly diminishing. That's when we enjoy our journey. In business, I loved creating an insane…
Letting Go is So Hard! I hear these words all the time, and they just aren't true. But there's a good reason for the words. People who are happy, successful,…
