Discovering Your Heart of Goodness
How often do we put ourselves down, believing that we are no good, a failure, unworthy, doomed? As human beings most of us do this all the time, every day, perhaps even every hour of each day. We tell ourselves that we can never match up, be good enough, achieve our dreams, succeed and yet society […]
Who is inspiring You to achieve your human potential right now?

When I was a child growing up in Peckham, London in the 1950’s/60s (yes I’m 71!) I always instinctively believed in God.
