Starting life over begins with bringing a conscious end to all lingering relationships you may have with old thoughts and feelings that want you to keep seeing your life through their eyes.

Human beings are a unique creation in the cosmic scheme of things. Unlike the untold billions of other life forms teaming on the Earth — whose nature is an open and shut case — human nature is not fixed. What does this mean to you? Only everything! The tiger, the horse, and the bird must…

And yet, in spite of all of these facts, when we are angry it feels right. Somehow, in some unseen way, anger proves…
