Simplifying Your Life – Confessions of a Recovering Workaholic

I was a workaholic…It was with the birth of my daughter, that I realized that the only one who could stop the charging train of my life was me. The world wasn’t going to slow down, the work wasn’t going to go away, people’s expectations weren’t going to lessen. But I had to change. I had to rethink what I thought God was asking of me, and what was really important in life. I had to face that my busyness was an addiction that made me feel important. It was a substitute for the value and significance that I, as a Christian, needed to get from God.

When Life Doesn’t Seem Fair

There is one thing for certain and that is life just isn’t fair! How can we understand this? Before I was saved, I just couldn’t understand why bad things would happen to good people.

But now as I walk close to my Lord, I can understand now some of the reasons why we must all go through adversities. Especially as a child of God’s. Life was never promised to be fair, but when God’s favor is upon your life, it is a lot easier to accept when things don’t seem to go your way. How do we handle it when life just doesn’t seem fair?

Virginia Tech and The Extraordinary Change

As the events of the Virginia Tech shootings unfolded last week, I was caught off guard because I had no previous sense of “pending events” and a very desensitized and detached regard for the story as it unfolded. I don’t hang a shingle outside my office saying that I am a “psychic” coach, but there have been moments in my past, like the one at VT, where for sometimes weeks prior to the event, I would “get” clues and feel agitated as if waiting for the other shoe to drop but not understanding why.

Destiny and the Law of Karma

Some of us believe that we have full control over our lives. However, this may not be entirely true. Destiny or fate plays a very important role in our lives irrespective of our gender, race, religion, nationality etc. To explain the concept of destiny, we need to understand what destiny is. The popular western view is that we are in control of our lives and everything that happens to us is because of our own choice. On the other hand, the popular eastern view is that not every thing that happens to us is under our control and that we are nothing but puppets in a preordained plan.
