‘If you have a hundred per cent faith, you will have zero per cent fear’ is one of the crucial life lessons I learned from a modern-day mystic. I was in awe of her absolute fearlessness in the face of illness, financial insecurity, loss, and even her own death.

A sense of meaning can keep us grounded in the midst of trials, but first, we have to rise above the obstacles that can slow us down in our search for our life’s purpose

Living for a cause bigger than yourself can transform an 'ordinary life' into an extraordinary one.

When the chips are down, it’s not always helpful to be told to ‘look on the bright side’ Instead, we need to find genuine, lasting hope.

Thoughts, purpose, prayer and surrender are fundamental in cultivating enduring hope.
