The Real Root of All Evil Is Not Money

Saturday, December 24th, 2011

By Valencia Ray MD

The real root of all evil is not money; it’s lack of self-acceptance. By the way, even the Bible doesn’t say it’s money. There it says the “love of money” and love as used in the proper translation would be “lust” or attachment – in other words, greed. This is where lack of self-acceptance comes into the conversation.

We are so conditioned to look for love in all the wrong places outside of ourselves that we overlook the very source of so much of our pain and suffering. What drives greed, truth be told, is a fear of powerlessness and insecurity. Humans are driven by essentially two questions: “Who am I” and “Why am I here?” Read More→

“Patience is a virtue. Possess it if you can. Always found in angels. Seldom found in man.”

Many of us have pet situations that draw out the worst in us for being impatient. Traffic, long lines, busy telephones or slow cashiers are some. Often the situation is only a trigger that sets off a reaction that has percolated like lava, looking for an opportunity to erupt. Read More→

Understanding the best way to relax is something that is very personal. It of course has a lot to do with what is bothering you and what is going on in your life. We tend to hold onto the stress, the worry, and the tension in our lives which causes us to lose a relaxed state of being. Although, when we can come from a more relaxed place, stress and worry are less overwhelming. By staying balanced and relaxed, all moments are manageable and easy. But once we reach a state of tension in our bodies and minds, it can feel hard to release it.

Don’t minimize the power of little things to add joy to your life. ~ Joyce Meyer

How’s your day going? Somehow, even the best days have moments that challenge our peace: tight schedules and traffic lights, flat tires and sick kids, appliances that quit (my dishwasher), plus any number of major and minor irritations. Often, all at once…

Then, there’s the tough stuff: divorce or death, debt and dilemmas, health and relationship issues. Funny thing, though, no one is immune from life’s challenges. No matter what you are dealing with, look around. Everyone you know is also trying to cope with something. Read More→

By Selena Richardson

Why is it that every time you start something new, a million and one things get in the way?

You make a goal to lose weight and all of a sudden every time you go to the store you seem to notice the chocolate you’ve been craving.

Or you decide to start a writing project but every time you sit down to write – you’re stuck, you don’t have any inspiration. You can’t seem to get moving forward.

Resistance always comes up when you start venturing into unknown territory – starting a new project or a home based business – it comes in many different forms. Read More→
