I didn't get into this business by being an airhead, or a screwball. My attitude was always, if it is real it can take the pressure. You know, you don't have to pussyfoot around the real thing. If they are telling you, oh, you have to lower your voice, or avert your gaze you are ...

A spiritually dead person charges up his credit card irresponsibly and then lives with the hangover of past-due bills. Constantly gives into his kids’ whining and manipulating because he has no perspective of what kind of teenager he want his child to turn into. Constantly gives into his sexual urges, or his appetite for food or ...

Narcissists are compelled to project an image of superiority and flawlessness. They do so to disguise a profound emptiness within. Anything that touches that emptiness - losing, feeling humiliated, making mistakes, being viewed as illegitimate - can shake narcissists to their foundation, sparking intense fear or rage. Sometimes that rage is fiery, and they offload their feelings by rejecting, humiliating, or ...

If someone asked you what you do for fun, would you have an answer. Are there things you have always dreamed of doing but never tried.

I would not want you to cry. Go ahead and cry. You do not need to cry for me, of course. But I would not tell you not to cry at all. Every funeral is an opportunity to consider the harsh reality of Human mortality. There is no virtue in suppressing grief. Funerals are a perfectly ...

Fighting against (or resisting) the reality of the pain in your life creates suffering. Rather than resisting your pain, and so creating your suffering, you would be wise to learn to accept your authentic Self - your experience of who you really are and what you are really struggling with. In doing this, you can develop self-acceptance and ...

You think magic is weird, unreal and for fairytales. It is not. Magic is very real and very common. Is flying magic. With a plane, it is not. For medieval men, it was. Is flying without a plane magic. For birds, it is not. And for Humans. Who knows. Is a rainbow magic. A drop of ...
