Managing Distractions

"At the center of your being, you have the answer. You know who you are and you know what you want." ~ Lao Tzu   How can we live in the physical world with all its distractions and uncertainties without losing our soul essence? This is the question great thinkers throughout the ages have pondered. The answer may be simpler than you might guess -- go inward.   This week, you'll be journeying within to listen to your inner wisdom as you release the cares and worries of the world.
