What’s the difference between principles and values?
You hear both words thrown around a lot, but not everyone is clear about what either of them are and how they differ.
Values and principles are both critical to our understanding of human behavior and its consequences.
And while the two often get confused, they’re not the same.
So, how are they different?
And where do they come from?
Read on to see why any of this matters.
Could you be an empath?
Or even an intuitive empath?
Maybe you’ve heard about empaths and wondered, “Am I an empath?”
If you’ve asked, there’s a good chance you are.
After all, your senses are keener than those of most people.
But is it possible your empathic powers (which can be a mixed bag) are more perceptive than the average empathic abilities?
If so, you could be an intuitive or psychic empath.
Whether you call yourself a highly intuitive empath, an empathic, or just a “very empathetic person,” you know by now that other people’s moods tend to influence your own.
But how much do you know about being an empath with heightened intuitive and psychic qualities?
And are you ready to take the intuitive empath test below to learn just how strong your empathic abilities are?
Your test score might clarify just how tuned in and perceptive you might be.
Are you making a playlist of powerful emotional songs?

As humans, we often turn to symbols to represent abstract concepts that are difficult to put into words.
These symbols serve as powerful tools for connecting us to our spirituality and understanding the divine.
From the sacred lotus flower to the Zen circle, these symbols have been used for centuries across various cultures and religions to represent spiritual truths.
In this article, we'll explore 43 powerful spiritual symbols and their meanings.
Each symbol has its unique history and interpretation, but all of them have the power to inspire and guide us on our spiritual journey.
Are you a shallow person — at least some of the time?
Or do you know someone who is?
It’s not a pleasant thought.
None of us want to identify as superficial people, because we all want to believe we’re more enlightened than that — that we’ve evolved beyond superficiality.
Except we haven’t.
We still make shallow assumptions about other people. And we still react to other people’s shallow assumptions about us with insults, sarcasm, or self-righteous anger.
Fortunately, though, there are things we can do to help ourselves become less shallow and more like the people we were made to be.
Even if you’re already considered a “deep person” by your friends and family members (and even if they say the exact opposite about you), you can go deeper and learn to see and appreciate more.
Not only will you be happier for it, but you’ll set a better example for others, too.
Let’s start, though, by spelling out what it means to be shallow in the first place.
