Confidence in the Creative Spirit

The Stuff of Life
A man must find time for himself. Time is what we spend our lives with. If we are not careful we find others spending it for us…. It is necessary, now and then, for a man to go away and experience loneliness; to sit on a rock in the forest and ask himself, ‘Who am […]
Embrace Your Life
Love is the most powerful energy in the universe. Love’s positive flow fills our souls with light. It is said love shines brightest after a storm. After enduring the darkest days, the heart-mind blazes under reflections of joy. To escape from the trap of darker thoughts liberate your mind through meditation and reflection. Break out […]
