No One Dies in Vain

death only comes when a being jas served its purpose. From a narrow perspective, that purpose may not be clear, but in the grand scheme of things, it makes perfect sense.

While there are countless ways to die, death always remains the one insurmountable human barrier that all people have to cross.

Are You Jealous?

there's a thin line between ambition and jealousy: ambition is outdoing yourself; jealousy is outdoing others.

A few years ago, I was working in a school with a very abusive boss. He wasn’t always so; on the contrary, we had started out as good colleagues, and I believed in his vision. However, as things progressed, I felt more and more alienated and less and less appreciated. Back then, I didn’t understand …

Pity is Mostly Useless

People who deserve pity don't want it, and people who beg for pity don't deserve it.

My personal experience in counseling, teaching and volunteering to humanitarian causes has introduced me to a wide variety of people of all walks of life. One thing that almost all of them had in common was problems: some had family issues, others financial issues, others romantic issues, and so on. Also, some of them had …

Know when to make use of the people who come to you

Open yourself up with LOVE to all people, and those you need will come to you when you need them most.

Many of us always repeat the saying “everything happens for a reason.” This would also apply to people; many of them suddenly show up in your life for a reason.

Resilient Kids

These anti-bullying campaigns are getting way out of hand.

No matter what the school says about them working with the students and trying to finish everything in school, …

Offended?… Deal with it!

“It’s offensive!” is perhaps the word that summarises recent times most accurately. If you call someone by his nationality, you offend him; if you describe a person by her hair color, you offend her; if you refer to some people by their gender – guess what – you offend them. What’s even more ludicrous is …

Magick is a Natural Part of Life… and we all do it!

Magick is not a supernatural power granted by spirits or demons. True magick is a natural power which exists in every person, and we have neglected it because of misguided principles.

The world we live in is infinitely more complex and much more interesting than most people believe. Unfortunately, in our choice to disbelieve in the natural powers of the universe, we are making it more and more bland and uninteresting. Magick (yes with a K), is one of the things we gave up in service …

Be Positive, not Stupid!

Ever since The Secret (by Rhonda Byrne) was released a few years ago, we started seeing the “be positive” affirmation everywhere. Unfortunately, many people either stopped there and went back to being more negative than before while others took it to the extreme and gambled away their life savings. As valuable as it is to …
