Staff - Kari We are already where we need to be

As human beings we are always trying to get somewhere. Many of us seek some standard of success that we think will bring happiness or validation from the world. Even those of us involved in the personal growth and consciousness process still have the idea that we certainly don't want to be where we are -- we're trying to get somewhere better.

Also, build into your structure open times and space for spontaneity. You are trying to give yourself room for creativity, not stifling it. Make a list of priorities and the amount of time each takes. Tak… Continue
