But, Caru, at my company everybody slacks off when the boss is gone. Everybody compromises at my school. Not everybody takes care of their yard in my neighborhood. No, here’s the Key. You are NOT EVERYBODY! You’re a cut above. You are called to be excellent. Krishna wants you to set the highest standard. You […]

Living a “No Excuses” Life
Stop making excuses. Quit dwelling on disappointments, the unfairness & hurt that’s been inflicted on you. The worst handicaps are those we place on ourselves. Tony Melendez had a dream to play guitar. But he had been born w/out arms. Could have said, “it’s unfair” but his attitude was, ” I may not have any […]
What’s Your Story
Stories are powerful agents of change. The great language philosopher Ivan Illich said for example, “Neither revolution nor reformation can ultimately change a society. Rather you must tell a new powerful tale, one so persuasive that it sweeps away the old myths and becomes the preferred story, one so inclusive that it gathers all the […]
Moving Forward
Bhagavad Gita Says: “One who does good is never overcome by evil.” In the Bible we read, “There may may be weeping in the night, but joy comes in the morning” Nothing that happens to you is a surprise to Krishna. He knows the past, from the present, to the future. He has the restoration, […]
Master Your Moods
Strive for stability, consistency, being the same day in & day out. We all have emotions, feelings, but we need to learn to manage them. Would you agree with me that too many people today live by how they feel. It’s like living on a roller coaster, up when circumstances are good, and down when […]
Uncomfortable Situations
We all face situations that are uncomfortable. We’re not getting our way, dealing w a person hard to get along with, late for an appointment & caught in traffic. As much as we don’t like it, Krishna allows uncomfortable situations. When we are put under pressure, it shows what we are made of.

Today, we’d like to talk to you about igniting your enthusiasm. The word enthusiasm comes from Theia which is a Greek word for God. It’s one of the reasons why we chant, Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. Because it fills us up with a […]
Hoping Against Hope
A lot of life is about waiting: waiting to meet the right person, waiting for problem to be solved, waiting for dream to come to pass. There is a right way to wait & wrong way to wait. We hear that word & most of the time we think waiting means doing nothing, being passive, […]
When a Door Slams in Your Face
Now there is a difference between when a door slams in your face and when a door is just closed. When it’s closed, you have no expectations. But a door that slammed in your face was open, and you thought you could go through it to a whole new world of opportunities. But then, it […]
Speak to Your Mountains
You prayed, hoped, believed. Need to do more – You need to SPEAK to the mountains. Say, “Mountain Be removed.” You are Not asking, not begging, not saying ‘pretty please.’ You are COMMANDING that fear, that sickness to STOP impeding your march and the march of your loved ones back home back to godhead. I’ve […]
