Although we're taught to believe that insecurity is something to be avoided, the more open you are to the truth of insecurity, the stronger you become. The Wisdom of Insecurity will help you to embrace this ubiquitous humility of life more fully.
Love is something we prove by our deeds and demonstrate by our intentions. It comes from a spirit of play more than a spirit of work or duty. We don't contain love, it burns through us; it's intimate but doesn't belong to us. It's close and available, but its own master. We are not the source of love; love is the source of us.
What does it mean to be a practicing spiritual person in the world? How do we bring sacred values into our daily lives? How can we live a spiritual life and maintain a regular practice while dealing with things like money, relationships, career, and ambition? It's easy to have love for humanity when you're sitting on a cushion in a monastery, but when you are in the world, it gets a lot more complicated.
Do you make time to remove yourself from the rat race? Time for leisure, pleasure, letting go, drawing outside the margins, and cultivating irresponsibility? Take the time to let yourself breathe.
"What's Your Story?" is a fascinating investigation of this storytelling process and what it can teach us about who we really are.

If we believe that the only thing that keeps us afloat is our struggle, then we live in a constant state of fear. How do we find perspective and courage to detach from this trance? How can relieving ourselves from this constant weight of the world free us - body, mind, and spirit?
The human dilemma is that we're very often divided against ourselves. This conflict is the source of much suffering and confusion. Why is it that we so often fear what we want and want what we fear? Begin the journey to your true life while gaining an authentic sense of your desires.
Many of us search outside of ourselves for validation because we fail to see our worth or our own capacity for enlightenment. You only have to look deep inside yourself to realize how lucky you are simply to be alive and able to give and receive love.
Our lives are defined by the quest for meaning. The ability to identify our particular purpose-our unique significance as individuals - determines not only the quality of our lives but, during difficult times, our very survival. Ours is a culture that emphasizes chasing power outside of ourselves through competition, material success, and the pursuit of happiness
Each of us is born with a unique gift, an authentic voice waiting to be heard. Regardless of the work you do, this creative power is your genius. Once you learn to tap into this power, and tell the truth about who you are, your life can be transformed. Find your connection between desire, creativity, and spirituality, and how together they can be forces of productivity, self-awareness, and transformation.
We often make our life choices by default, taking the easy or well-traveled path, obeying the voices of practicality and conformity, over the siren call of freedom. By asking ourselves which aspects of the self we wish to change, and being specific about our desires, we empower ourselves to make creative choices.
Passion and Abandon explores the topics of pleasure, surrender, self-trust, repression, risk, and our attitudes toward the desires and passions that burn within us.
