Dr. Alice Bandy’s Wisdom on Igniting Life Purpose and Personal Growth

• Everything in the present is fine.  Throughout life when old events start to bother us, we create new experiences to help us heal things.  Things are never coming from the future, they are always about the past.
• It’s very easy to look outside of ourselves when searching for our life purpose.  To look outside yourself is not the answer.  The answer is not in trying to do something or be something.  It’s more about the inner journey including creativity, creating opportunities for others to be empowered.
