Our underlying habitual thoughts, about ourselves and others, are often described as our "mindset". We have greatness within us. All of us have unique gifts and abilities. But if our mindset is too fixed or negative, we will never achieve our best life. We have a responsibility to develop our skills and maintain a positive mind. The more we begin to know and trust the power within, the more we connect with what we can be. A life truly worth living is within us and we can connect with it. In doing so, we grow and enrich our lives and the lives of others. It begins with our mindset.

Body, mind, and spirit are one integrated trinity. What we do to one part impacts the whole. The body is the physical form that represents the most obvious, tangible aspect of what we are. It is the vehicle that conveys us through space and time, on our mysterious life journey.

It is in uncertain and difficult times, like these, that we have to rely on and develop our inner strength. Inner strength is our “invisible” means of support that helps us get through the toughest times. It isn't something we are born with. Inner strength is like a small seedling, emerging from stony ground to grow in harsh conditions. It is a spiritual quality that develops from the practice of self-discipline, belief, endurance, and optimism.
