“There is no fire like greed, no crime like hatred, no sorrow like separation, no sickness like hunger of the heart, and no joy like the joy of freedom. Health, contentment and trust are your greatest possessions, and freedom your greatest joy.
Look within, be still. Free from fear and attachment, know the sweet joy of living in the way.”
~The Buddha
As you are, so are others.
As others are, so are you.
Having thus identified self and others,
never harm anyone, nor abuse any being.

Train yourself in doing good
that lasts and brings happiness.
Cultivate generosity, the life of peace,
and a mind of infinite universal love.
―Buddha Shakyamuni

It is through gratitude for the present moment that the spiritual dimension of life opens up.“
~ Eckhart Tolle ~

Just when I have achieved one of my goals and think I can take it easy, I realize that I still have a long way to go.
Becoming our best self is a life long project, one that we need to work on every day. There is no arrival date, it is a constant work in progress with millions of baby steps each year.
The important questions to ask yourself are… Do you know where you are headed? Do you have specific goals and dreams? Do you have a plan?
Weekly assessments on how we are doing is an excellent way to keep on track or to work on changing directions.

New research has found that treating insomnia with online cognitive behavioral therapy could in turn help treat mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, and paranoia.
Carried out by researchers at the Sleep and Circadian Neuroscience Institute, University of Oxford, the team set out to try to improve sleep in a group of university students with insomnia to look at sleep’s effect on paranoia (excessive mistrust), anxiety, and depression.
The study, which involved 3,755 participants, is thought to be the largest ever randomized controlled trial of a psychological treatment for mental health and the first study large enough to determine the effects of treating insomnia on psychotic experiences.
Participants were randomly split into two groups, with one group receiving online cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) for insomnia while the other group received access to standard treatments.
