One of my mentors from graduate school once said to me, “every moment is a teaching moment.” Of his many words of wisdom, that statement is one of my favorites. It eliminates the need for regret and allows every ‘mistake’ or ‘mishap’ to be a source of growth. Hence, this

In my never ending quest for spiritual growth, I’ve come across the same advice over and over and over again lately–think like a child. Do not taint your ambitions with the voices of skeptics. Do not live other peoples’ dreams. Do not fear the unknown, or the creative, or the
