Welcome... Our InnerSelf welcomes your Inner Self. Life is quite the adventure... Whether we are "adventuring" from our living room couch, work place, or out there "in the world". This week we take a look at our beliefs about our own self and how they may be holding us back from reaching our dream. As you read through the articles, you'll get guided through a process to release the blockages to creating the life you truly desire. Our first article will remind you that It's Never Too Late to Discover, and Live, Your Life Purpose. Then Sarah Varcas sheds some light on One Mighty Misperception Challenged by the Light of this Virgo Moon. Then we continue with Sarah Love McCoy who shares her Valentine's Day "un-experience" to help you discover that You Are Free To Change Your Story At Any Time! Now of course, when we decide to change our path, our perceptions, our story, we may be confused at to which direction to take. Barbara Berger points us in the right direction with The Inner Compass: Your Emotions are Your Magnetic North. And as with any new path, project, or goal, we may come across the challenge of Overcoming the Failure Neurosis. Alejandro Jodorowsky and Marianne Costa share insights and suggestions on how to get out of the failure neurosis trap. These powerful articles provide a map for getting out of old fears and habits that keep you from being your true self. Jude Bijou wraps it up for us with Connecting with Truths about What’s Really True for You.

Life, in all its often hectic confusion, can sometimes feel like a million individual plates we must keep spinning simultaneously or risk unbounded chaos, when in fact its disparate parts are simply many faces of the One that animates our being. We are one life, all of us. What happens outside and around us occurs also within and through us.
Who makes up the story of what we should do and what's expected of us? You guessed it. We do! And we are free to change that story at anytime.
We all have an Inner Compass that gives us guidance about what is the best way forward for us. But the big question is how does the Inner Compass give us this guidance? And the answer is that it does it through our emotions. So let’s take a closer look at this.
