Good has no market value, yet it is what keeps us alive. The small acts of kindness and generosity that we receive are priceless heart balms. The impression of not having enough money pushes us to neglect the good that does not bring immediate profitability. If we refuse to remove these blinkers, we look at the world through the prism…

Love is a verb of action, which goes beyond obstacles. Hate is cowardly, it gives up and is overwhelmed by the situation. Love trusts the best in each of us. Hate looks only at the dark side and ignores the light. Love reaches out to those who need help. Hate shuts down and doesn’t see people in distress. Love takes…

For many of us, a successful life consists in climbing the steps of Maslow’s pyramid one by one. Physical security is replaced by material security, which in turn is replaced by emotional security and so on. What to do when we get stuck on one of these steps?

Our life is like a house under construction. Sometimes it’s the plumbing, sometimes the foundation, sometimes the wiring and insulation. Since we are under construction and therefore unfinished, we feel like we are living in chaos. However, if we take things in a certain order, we can find a certain coherence and even harmony. We cannot be truly balanced in…

To live coherently is to follow a set of values that take the form of habits. Self-imposed constraints are necessary to transform who we are. There is no personal progress if negligence and complacency prevail over the rigor manifested by discipline. An idea is a hard core, it needs proof to exist. It needs to be embodied in our actions.…

God is a personal experience, it is a friendship that we must nurture to keep it alive. The problem is that the distractions of everyday life prevent us from making the necessary effort to leave enough space in our hearts to hold a divine breath. The pursuit of money, fame, recognition and attention from those we are attracted to, constantly…

You may not know it, but each of us has a special suit that we wear for special occasions. This suit represents your values, the ones you embody in times of peril or a fateful event. You are a superhero at times. You have a suit of armor that sits in a mental closet. You take it out from time…
