My Teacher, Failure

October 12, 2023October 12, 2023 ~ James ~ Leave a comment

What's something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail. Failure is a part of living. Almost anything we try has the potential to disappoint us and others. Failure is the great teacher. Failure teaches the lessons that success almost never does. The lessons that failure teaches me remain with me more intensely … Continue reading My Teacher, Failure

Stuff: A Slippery Slope

October 9, 2023October 9, 2023 ~ James ~ 1 Comment

What would you do if you lost all your possessions? I find these hypothetical questions challenging and interesting. Since my answer is conceptual, I am only imagining how I would be impacted by losing all possessions. Writing about this question has invited deep self-reflection. I discovered some attachments I did not want to admit. Here … Continue reading Stuff: A Slippery Slope

Ask More Questions

September 18, 2023September 18, 2023 ~ James ~ Leave a comment

Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life. “There is no such thing as a ‘stupid question.’” I have heard that phrase many times in my life. Some folks who say it probably mean it.

Expression and Discovery

August 21, 2023 ~ James ~ 1 Comment

What do you enjoy most about writing? Writing for me is a way of bringing to form concepts that are bouncing around unnamed in my thoughts.

It's Easier to Believe the Bad Stuff - Infinitely Precious

In this episode of the Infinitely Precious Podcast, James reflects on the human tendency to seek validation through the perceptions of others while struggling to believe the good about ourselves. Drawing on a line from Pretty Woman—“It’s easier to believe the bad stuff”—he explores why criticism and self-doubt often feel more believable than affirmation, and how much energy we spend trying to manage how others see us. What if, instead of chasing approval, we practiced receiving what is already true? Through the simple spiritual rhythm of recognize, release, return, James invites listeners to notice the harsh inner voice, release the need to prove their worth, and return to the deeper truth that they are already infinitely precious, already loved, and already enough.
