L'Âme et la Vie

Anyone would have a story or two to tell about how they overcame a recent struggle or setback in life. Below are snippets of stories that have personally touched me over the past few weeks and ones that I would really like to share with a person or two on a similar journey of wanting to cross that next bridge or looking forward to jumping over that big wall and see the next side of the fence. "Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith"...Allow me to share these stories of faith and healing...

The Story of a Soul, the autobiography of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, is a spiritual classic and one of the finest autobiographies ever written. Sister Thérèse wrote this autobiography out of obedience to Mother Agnès of Jesus (her religious superior who was also her sister Pauline). Her autobiography reveals her deep love of God and draws the reader into the magnificent work of grace in her soul.

If you want to change your body, change what you eat and how you train. If you want to change your outlook on life, change what you read and put it into practice.

Want to know how to discover and harness the lessons of your soul's journey? Sit down with a journal (or use a tape recorder) and start writing or telling your life story, starting with the first major event you remember that had an impact. It can be helpful to write or tell your story in the third person, as if it happened to someone else.

What happened and what meaning did you take away from the first event? Go on and follow the course of your life. What events shaped you, at what age, and what did you think of it at the time? What do you see and feel about these events today? What recurring themes do you notice?

Often in life, we feel depressed and slumped in our life. At such times, our soul needs inspiration, just like the body needs nourishment. We all need inspiration to free our soul from the bondage of worries and give direction to our lives. Inspiration is our soul food that drives us desperately to be better and be the person we dream of being.

Good stories and inspirational quotes are a great way to uplift our soul, fill it with hope and optimism. Stories are a powerful tool to touch our hearts. A good inspirational story motivates us to keep fighting for the desires and dreams of our hearts. Inspirational stories trigger an emotional pulse in our hearts and minds when we are in a difficult situation. In times of distress, inspiring stories can help us see the light at the end of the tunnel and give us hope and courage to persevere. Stories teach us lessons, fill our hearts with hope, and make us feel better.

The Soul in Everyday Life argues that modern psychology has given up dealing with the idea of ​​the soul (or psyche), even though the field bears its name. If psychology is to be truly satisfying, it must be more than behavioral science, according to Daniel Chapelle. He concludes that psychology can only satisfy the deepest human needs when it can offer a sense of soul in everyday life. It explores ways to restore this sense of soul to everyday life by examining how to talk about something as elusive as soul is possible and reviving a sense of what the notion of soul can mean.
