by Kelly Redfield Whitworth Since the beginning of life as we know it, people have been on a journey to find the Meaning of Life. As a matter of fact, we are in fervent pursuit of these answers almost every day here at CV – Why are we here? Where are we headed? What is […]
It’s often easier to remember the bad experiences in life, than the good. When unfortunate things happen, we can have a tendency to invest significant energy in thinking about what’s gone wrong. Increasing our experience and depth of gratitude can balance out many negativities we hold on to. When good thoughts, memories, and feelings occupy […]
Many are dissatisfied with the current economic system. We hear a lot about the 1% versus the 99%, and the contrast between the vast wealth of a relatively few people and the extreme poverty we see in so many places is disturbing.
