<br />
<strong>BEGIN</strong> <br />
Take charge of your life by beginning something you’ve always wanted to do. If your goal seems overwhelming, start small. <br />
<br />
<strong>IMAGINE</strong> <br />
Your imagination has no boundaries … dreaming about something is the first step towards achieving it. <br />
<br />
<strong>LAUGH</strong><br />
Laughter is a direct route to the soul. It broadens your perspective, keeps you healthy, and makes an unbearable situation easier to deal with. <br />
<br />
<strong>BELIEVE</strong><br />
Set your mind to predict success. Tell yourself you will succeed at whatever you’re doing at the moment. <br />
<br />
<strong>SEEK</strong> <br />
Allow yourself to grow by exposing your vulnerability and insecurity. Don’t live strictly inside your comfort zone – don’t always play it safe. <br />
<br />
<strong>PLAY</strong> <br />
We can always find something that needs to be done and we forget how to have fun. Make a conscious effort to take time off – you’ll feel refreshed and able to think more clearly afterwards. <br />
<br />
<strong>TRUST</strong> <br />
Being paralyzed by indecision is worse than making the wrong decision. You can’t grow if you don’t trust your inner voice. <br />
<br />
<strong>LISTEN</strong> <br />
Try listening carefully to the other person’s point of view first, without being preoccupied or distracted. You’ll really hear what is being said and the other person is more likely to pay attention to your views. <br />
<br />
<strong>CREATE</strong> <br />
Creativity maintains the balance in our lives. The more we use our creativity the more it develops. <br />
<br />
<strong>CONNECT</strong> <br />
Relationships are what pull us through the hard times, and make the good times meaningful. Take time to nurture the connections that uplift you. <br />
<br />
<strong>TOUCH</strong> <br />
Humans need touch to survive and thrive. Don’t forget to hug your loved ones. Pat your friends on the back literally and figuratively. <br />
<br />
<strong>FORGIVE</strong> <br />
Forgiveness is life giving because it puts you in charge. You become empowered. <br />
<br />
<strong>PRAY</strong> <br />
Prayer is asking God to transform the situation and become the heart of your life. Take time each day to nurture this connection. <br />
<br />
<strong>HOPE</strong> <br />
Hope is the knowledge that even in the worst of times we can triumph over hardship and sorrow and grow in spirit. Hope is what sustains humanity. <br />
<br />
<strong>CHOOSE</strong> <br />
We can’t always choose our circumstances, but we can choose our attitude towards them. <br />
<br />
<strong>APPRECIATE </strong><br />
Admire the good in yourself and in those around you. <br />
<br />
<strong>GIVE </strong><br />
Happiness involves giving freely to others and not necessarily wanting something in return. <br />
<br />
<strong>READ</strong> <br />
Reading removes boundaries. <br />
<br />
<strong>WRITE </strong><br />
Words are freedom. Words are power. <br />
<br />
<strong>RELEASE</strong> <br />
Avoid doing something just because everyone thinks you should. Give yourself permission to relax. <br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> I saw unbridled joy today</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> A pleasant surprise</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I saw untethered elation</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Upon a child's face</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> As he set his heart free</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> By letting go, letting go, his shiny balloon</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> When he first set his toy free</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I anticipated a sigh as his eye</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Searched within the sky</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I expected him to cry</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> But he laughed as his friend danced</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> On the wings of the clouds</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> His laughter guided the eyes</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Of the schoolyard as they gazed in the skies</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> And then the most astonishing thing occurred</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> As they released their friends</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> To dance among the clouds on the wings of the wind</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> The din that rose,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> was the most beautiful laughter put upon the wind</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> The One above had to smile to see their lovely joy</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> His children made for him upon the winds with their toy</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> They donated to him with unabated joy</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Upon the wings of the wind.</span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You might think that when someone says, “<i>I’m coping</i>,” that it’s not such a big deal.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>You would be wrong.</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The skill of coping is highly underrated, and our inability to cope with difficult feelings can lead to major problems, including health problems, financial ruin, work procrastination, even death.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>Not such an insignificant skill!</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
How can the lack of coping skills lead to death and other major problems? Well, let’s say that you’re bored and lonely, but don’t know how to cope with those feelings in a healthy way. You might try to avoid these problems with distraction, food, TV, smoking, drinking. I know, because I’ve done those things myself, many times. These aren’t such a big deal once in a while, but frequent use of these coping mechanisms will lead to eating way too much, smoking or drinking too much, inactivity (from watching too much TV or being online too much) … and these all can lead to long-term related health problems, like diabetes or heart disease.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>What would be another way to cope?</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you’re bored, you might cope by learning something new, or tackling a new challenge. If you’re lonely, you might try to exercise, write, teach yourself a new skill, or meet new people. These are just a few examples, but you can see that these are much healthier ways of coping.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So how you cope can be the difference between a good life, and a sick one. We all have unhealthy coping mechanisms, and finding better ways of coping will help us procrastinate less, eat healthier, exercise, and be happier.</div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Self-Compassion As a Way of Coping</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When you find yourself facing difficult feelings, your first reaction might be to avoid thinking about the feelings.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let’s say someone close to you has gotten sick or died — you might not want to face the pain, so you cope with it by avoiding the pain, finding ways to numb the pain or distract yourself. This is running from the problem.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you notice yourself doing this, it’s a good time to pause. Just say to yourself, “I’m avoiding.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now instead of avoiding, you have the choice to gently turn toward the pain, and say, “I’m hurting.” Or “I’m angry.” This is an acknowledgement of whatever you’re going through. And it’s OK to feel these things.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Next, you can deal kindly with the pain, with the boredom or guilt or grief or anger or loneliness. These are all very difficult, and it’s OK to feel them, and it’s OK to comfort yourself with kindness, compassion, love. Wish for an end to your pain, and wish for your own happiness.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Curiosity and Openness</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You’ve given yourself some compassion, but what to do about these difficult feelings?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Stay with the feeling(s) you’re having, and be curious about what it’s like. For example, if you’re feeling overwhelmed with a project, instead of avoiding the project and seeking distraction (procrastinating) … try staying with this feeling of being overwhelmed. It’s not a fun feeling, and you’ll want to run. But be curious — what’s it like to just feel overwhelmed without running?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Face the feeling with an attitude of openness. Be open to uncomfortable feelings, and as always, you’ll find that it’s not comfortable but you’ll be OK. You develop a trust that everything will turn out fine. It’s not pleasant, but it’s fine.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Curiosity means that we don’t instantly decide we know this is a horrible experience and try to run away … it means we decide we don’t really know what this will be like, and we’d like to find out more. It’s a learning stance, instead of one that assumes we know what things will be like.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It’s an approach of exploring new territory, and finding out what this new experience has in store for us.</div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">The Benefits of Coping</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This isn’t an easy practice, I’ll admit. But it’s worthwhile, because with this kind of healthy coping, you can find better ways of dealing with all kinds of things, including:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
•Procrastination — instead of running from scary and overwhelming tasks, we can see what it’s like to feel afraid and overwhelmed, and still take action on these tasks. Writing a book, for example, is scary and overwhelming, but we can still write even with these feelings flowing through us.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
•Anger and frustration — instead of wanting to lash out at people (or avoid them) when we’re frustrated with them, we can stay with these difficult feelings and just be curious what it’s like to feel them. And then, when we’ve stayed with these feelings (and given ourselves some compassion), we can see what it’s like to deal compassionately with someone who we’re frustrated with. To try to understand them instead of judging them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
•Unhealthy cravings for food, drink, smoking — we turn to these things for comfort when we’re feeling stressed, bored, lonely, sad … but we can stay with these feelings and be curious about them, and learn to do other, healthier actions instead, like taking a walk, doing yoga, meditating, talking with people, creating, learning, practicing a skill, and so on. These are healthier ways of coping, but we often avoid them because we don’t like to feel these feelings and want to stuff the hole in our hearts with comfort food, drugs, etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
•Death and illness — when someone we love becomes sick or dies, the grief and sense of loss can be overwhelming and devastating. We want to comfort ourselves, and so we often turn to unhealthy ways of comforting. But instead, we can give ourselves compassion, stay with the powerfully difficult feelings, and be curious what it’s like to stay with these feelings. Really get to know these feelings, become intimate with them, and trust that we’ll be OK even if we give in to feeling them. We can deal, we can feel, we can get through this, because while it’s far from comfortable or pleasant, it’s doable. And temporary.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That’s just the start — as you learn to cope with self-compassion, staying, and curiosity, you will find that you can deal with anything life throws your way. And come out smiling.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> I will never again think I can place my hand in a position</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> to catch all the beauty in a rainbow's alive bright colors.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I will not refuse them, they belong to me.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Thinking as though I do not have to drink of the dark clouds</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> drenched wet with their sour sorrows,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> there is no holding them back.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I will not refuse them, they belong to me.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Plainly seen it is a intermingling.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Black is not pristine that stands alone, </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> it is all colors that have been born.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Adding white or black to any color brings new renditions.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I will not refuse them, they belong to me.</span><br />

"<span style="color: #134f5c;"><i><strong>All the world's a stage</strong></i></span>" is the phrase that begins a monologue from William Shakespeare's <em>As You Like It</em>. The speech compares the world to a stage and life to a play, catalogueing the seven stages of a man's life, sometimes referred to as the seven ages of man: <b><i><span style="color: #134f5c;">infant, schoolboy, lover, soldier, justice, Pantalone and old age</span></i></b> — facing imminent death. It is one of Shakespeare's most frequently quoted passages.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players; they have their exits and their entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages. </div>
<br />
<b><span style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Seven Ages</span></span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #134f5c;">The Infancy</span></b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In this stage the man is born as a helpless baby and knows little but waiting as a man in embryo to spring out.</div>
<br />
<b><span style="color: #134f5c;">The Schoolboy</span></b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here, he begins his schooling; the charms of helpless innocence cease. It is in that stage of life that he begins to go to school. He is unwilling to leave the protected environment of his home as he is still not confident enough to exercise his own discretion.</div>
<br />
<b><span style="color: #134f5c;">The Lover</span></b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The lover is depicted as a young man composing his love poems, shown beneath two pictures of Cupid, the god of love and on the left, Romeo-Juliet balcony scene. In this stage he is always maudlin, expressing his love in a fatuous manner. He makes himself ridiculous in trying to express his feelings.</div>
<br />
<b><span style="color: #134f5c;">The Soldier</span></b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here, he is hot-blooded with a high degree of self-respect. He looks forward to gaining a reputation, even if it costs him his life. He is inflamed with the love of war and, like a leopard, he charges. He is very easily aroused and is hot headed. He is always working towards making a reputation for himself, however short-lived it may be, even at the cost of foolish risks.</div>

<b><span style="color: #134f5c;">The Justice</span></b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In this stage he thinks he has acquired wisdom through the many experiences he has had in life, and is likely to impart it. He has reached a stage where he has gained prosperity and social status. He becomes vain and begins to enjoy the finer things of life and he attains a socially accepted state and expounds the wisdom he has gained in his life.</div>
<br />
<b><span style="color: #134f5c;">The Pantaloon</span></b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He is a shell of his former self — physically and mentally. He begins to become the butt of others' jokes. He loses his firmness and assertiveness, and shrinks in stature and personality and tries to shrink himself into a shell of his worries and is indifferent to his physical appearance and apparel, just as he was in his youth.</div>
<br />
<b><span style="color: #134f5c;">The Old Age</span></b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In this stage he is dependent on others for care and unable to interact with the world, he experiences <em>"second innocence, and mere oblivion. this stage is also known as second stage."</em></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
At first the infant, mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then, the whining school-boy with his satchel and shining morning face,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
creeping like snail unwillingly to school.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And then the lover, sighing like furnace, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with a woeful ballad made to his mistress' eyebrow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then, a soldier, full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
jealous in honour, sudden, and quick in quarrel,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
seeking the bubble reputation even in the cannon's mouth.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And then, the justice, in fair round belly, with a good capon lined,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with eyes severe, and beard of formal cut, full of wise saws,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and modern instances, and so he plays his part.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The sixth age shifts into the lean and slippered pantaloon,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with spectacles on nose and pouch on side, his youthful hose, well saved,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a world too wide for his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
turning again toward childish treble, pipes and whistles in his sound.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last scene of all, that ends this strange eventful history,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is second childishness and mere oblivion,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.</div>

<br />
Forever is composed of <em>nows</em>.<br />
<br />
Find ecstasy in life; the mere sense of living is joy enough.<br />
<br />
If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain.<br />
<br />
Beauty is not caused. It is.<br />
<br />
Unable are the loved to die, for love is immortality.<br />
<br />
Because I could not stop for death, He kindly stopped for me;<br />
<br />
The carriage held but just ourselves and immortality.<br />
<br />
The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience.<br />
<br />
Success is counted sweetest by those who never succeed.<br />
<br />
Dogs are better than human beings because they know but do not tell.<br />
<br />
Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul -<br />
<br />
and sings the tunes without the words - and never stops at all.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Animal protein is a storehouse of unhealthy saturated fat, high calories, and high cholesterol. A healthier alternative are vegetables rich in protein, which contain all essential vitamins and minerals required. By following a well-balanced diet, meeting the daily protein requirement should not be a challenge.</div>

</script><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Vegetables Rich in Protein:</span></strong><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em><strong>Artichokes</strong></em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Artichokes are known as a great source of potassium, magnesium, calcium, vitamins and dietary fiber. Artichoke contains the bioactive agents apigenin and luteolin. The total antioxidant capacity of artichoke flower heads is one of the highest reported for vegetables. These vegetables also score high when it comes to protein. One medium artichoke (100 g) contributes 2.89 grams of protein.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em><strong>Asparagus</strong></em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This tall, slender, green perennial is quite nutritionally dense. Asparagus is low in calories and is very low in sodium. It is a good source of vitamin B6, calcium, magnesium, and zinc, and a very good source of dietary fibre, beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K, thiamin, riboflavin, rutin, niacin, folic acid, iron, phosphorus, potassium, copper, manganese, selenium and protein, as well as chromium, a trace mineral that enhances the ability of insulin to transport glucose from the bloodstream into cells. One half cup (100 g) of cooked asparagus contains 2.2 grams of protein.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em><strong>Broccoli</strong></em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Broccoli is an edible green plant in the cabbage family whose large flowerhead is eaten as a vegetable. The word broccoli comes from the Italian plural of broccolo, which means "the flowering crest of a cabbage".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Broccoli is an excellent source of vitamin C and vitamin K. Raw broccoli also contains moderate amounts of several B vitamins and the dietary mineral, manganese and protein. 100 grams of raw broccoli provides 34 calories and 2.82 g of protein.</div>

</script><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em><strong>Brussels Sprouts</strong></em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These leafy green vegetables typically look like miniature cabbages. The Brussels sprout has long been popular in Brussels and Belgium, and most likely originated and gained its name there.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Raw Brussels sprouts contain excellent levels of vitamin C and vitamin K, with more moderate amounts of B vitamins, such as folic acid and vitamin B6; essential minerals and dietary fibre exist in lesser amounts. Each ½ cup (100 g) serving of cooked Brussels sprouts offers 3.38 grams of protein.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Brussels sprouts, as with broccoli and other brassicas, contain sulforaphane, a phytochemical under basic research for its potential anticancer properties. Although boiling reduces the level of sulforaphane, steaming and stir frying do not result in significant loss.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em><strong>Peas</strong></em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The pea is the small spherical seed or the seed-pod of the pod fruit Pisum sativum. Each pod contains several peas. Pea pods are botanically fruit, since they contain seeds and developed from the ovary of a (pea) flower. Peas are starchy, but high in fiber, vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin K, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, iron, zinc, lutein and protein. A 100 gram serving of peas provides 9 grams of protein.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em><strong>Spinach</strong></em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Spinach, along with other green, leafy vegetables, is rich in iron. A 180 gram serving of boiled spinach contains 6.43 mg of iron, whereas a 170 gram hamburger patty contains at most 4.42 mg. In a 100 gram serving, providing only 23 calories, spinach has a high nutritional value, especially when fresh, frozen, steamed, or quickly boiled. It is a rich source of vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, magnesium, manganese, and folate, and a good source of the B vitamins riboflavin and vitamin B6, vitamin E, calcium, potassium, and dietary fiber. One cup of cooked spinach packs 5.8 grams of protein.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
These are two habits that you can start today that will make a big improvement.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now, because of different things that have come up in my life, I’ve fallen a bit out of my routines. I’ve also been changing them over the last few months as my needs have changed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, this month, my challenge will be to focus on re-establishing my daily routines, refined and simplified.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I’ve simplified my morning routine, to give myself more of a sense of calm.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><span style="color: #38761d;">1. <span style="color: #e69138;">Focus on them.</span></span> </i></b>Keep your routine as your foremost goal for one month, focusing on nothing else. Having too many habits at once spreads your focus too thin, and makes success less likely.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b><span style="color: #38761d;">2. <span style="color: #e69138;">Make them rewarding.</span></span></b></i> In the morning, I meditate, shower, have my coffee and breakfast, read and write as part of my calming routine. In the evening, I quietly prepare for the next day, review my day and read. They are both very satisfying routines.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b><span style="color: #38761d;">3. <span style="color: #e69138;">Log your progress.</span></span></b></i> Reporting your progress every day in a journal or some other type of log, or put up stars on a calendar. The key is to keep track of it and see how well you have done over the course of a month.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautifully wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man's name embossed in gold. Angry, he raised his voice to his father and said "With all your money, you give me a Bible?" and stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.</div>

Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old, and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.</div>

When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father's important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. And as he did, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words PAID IN FULL.</div>

<dd>I hide in my mind because I feel safe there,<br />
<dd>Not allowing myself to go to that land of great despair.<br />
<dd>For if I allowed the despair to creep in,<br />
<dd>I would probably make many bad decisions<br />
<dd>And that to me would be a horrible sin.<br />
<br />
<dd>With that being spoken and that being said,<br />
<dd>Hopefully one thing I can get off my chest and out of my head.<br />
<dd>We all have some purpose in our life, even if we don't realize it,<br />
<dd>When destiny is upon us, we ourselves become a light.<br />
<br />
<dd>For the ones who see and can tell the difference<br />
<dd>between the phonies and those of us that are truly true,<br />
<dd>You have what it takes to make it and one day your light<br />
<dd>will shine on somebody too.<br />
<br />
<dd>For they will see and learn what had made them blind,<br />
<dd>To teach another along the way, so they are not left behind.<br />
<dd>That's when the chains are broken and a positive life begins again.<br />
<dd>Hope this made sense and helps you in your life.<br />

The holiday season is here, and with it comes consumer madness.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I’m not a fan of buying a bunch of gifts and getting into credit card debt just to stress myself out more and work harder to pay off the bills, all to add to the needless clutter we already have in our homes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>So I say opt out.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cc0000;">Don’t be a part of the madness.</span> It’s a trap, designed to get us to spend our money, but we don’t need to fall prey to it. We can opt out.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What should you do instead of buying a bunch of crap? I have a few ideas, but I’m sure you can come up with even more.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I wish I had a dime for every time I heard someone making a negative comment about me, about others, or about themselves. That last is really the worst. I could retire on those dimes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The thing is, life could be so much better for many people, if they would just spot their negative thinking habits and replace them with positive ones.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Negative thinking, in all its many splendored forms, has a way of creeping into conversations and our thinking without our noticing them. The key to success, in my humble opinion, is learning to spot these thoughts and squash them like little bugs. Then replace them with positive ones. You’ll notice a huge difference in everything you do.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As the Dalai Lama said, <i>“The way to overcome negative thoughts and destructive emotions is to develop opposing, positive emotions that are stronger and more powerful.”</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let’s take a look at 9 common ways that negative thinking emerges (there are many more, of course) — get good at spotting these patterns, and practice replacing them with positive thinking patterns. It has made all the difference in the world for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">9 Negative Thinking Sins</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">1. I will be happy once I have _____ (or once I earn $X).</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red;"><u>Problem</u></span>: If you think you cannot be happy until you reach a certain point, or until you reach a certain income, or have a certain type of house or car or computer setup, you will never be happy. That elusive goal is always just out of reach. Once we reach those goals, we are not satisfied — we want more.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #38761d;"><em><u>Solution</u></em></span>:</b> Learn to be happy with what you have, where you are, and who you are, right at this moment. Happiness does not have to be some state that we want to get to eventually — it can be found right now. Learn to count your blessings, and see the positive in your situation. This might sound simplistic, but it works.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">2. I wish I were as ____ as (a celebrity, a friend, a co-worker).</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red;"><u>Problem</u></span>: We will never be as pretty, as talented, as rich, as sculpted, as cool, as everyone else. There will always be someone better, if you look hard enough. Therefore, if we compare ourselves to others like this, we will always pale, and will always fail, and will always feel bad about ourselves. This is no way to be happy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #38761d;"><em><u>Solution</u></em></span>:</b> Stop comparing yourself to others, and look instead at yourself — what are your strengths, your accomplishments, your successes, however small? What do you love about yourself? Learn to love who you are, right now, not who you want to become. There is good in each of us, love in each of us, and a wonderful human spirit in every one of us.</div>

<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">3. Seeing others becoming successful makes me jealous and resentful.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red;"><u>Problem</u></span>: First, this assumes that only a small number of people can be successful. In truth, many, many people can be successful — in different ways.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #38761d;"><em><u>Solution</u></em></span>:</b> Learn to admire the success of others, and learn from it, and be happy for them, by empathizing with them and understanding what it must be like to be them. And then turn away from them, and look at yourself — you can be successful too, in whatever you choose to do. And even more, you already are successful. Look not at those above you in the social ladder, but those below you — there are always millions of people worse off than you, people who could not even read this article or afford a computer. In that light, you are a huge success.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">4. I am a miserable failure — I can’t seem to do anything right.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red;"><u>Problem</u></span>: Everyone is a failure, if you look at it in certain ways. Everyone has failed, many times, at different things. I have certainly failed so many times I cannot count them — and I continue to fail, daily. However, looking at your failures as failures only makes you feel bad about yourself. By thinking in this way, we will have a negative self-image and never move on from here.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #38761d;"><em><u>Solution</u></em></span>:</b> See your successes and ignore your failures. Look back on your life, in the last month, or year, or 5 years. And try to remember your successes. If you have trouble with this, start documenting them — keep a success journal, either in a notebook or online. <strong>Document your success each day</strong>, or each week. When you look back at what you have accomplished, over a year, you will be amazed. It is an incredibly positive feeling.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">5. I’m going to beat so-and-so no matter what — I’m better than him. And there’s no way I’ll help him succeed — he might beat me.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red;"><u>Problem</u></span>: Competitiveness assumes that there is a small amount of gold to be had, and I need to get it before he does. It makes us into greedy, back-stabbing, hurtful people. We try to claw our way over people to get to success, because of our competitive feelings.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #38761d;"><em><u>Solution</u></em></span>:</b> Learn to see success as something that can be shared, and learn that if we help each other out, we can each have a better chance to be successful. Two people working towards a common goal are better than two people trying to beat each other up to get to that goal. There is more than enough success to go around. Learn to think in terms of abundance rather than scarcity.</div>

<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">6. Why do these bad things always happen to me?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red;"><u>Problem</u></span>: Bad things happen to everybody. If we dwell on them, they will frustrate us and bring us down.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #38761d;"><em><u>Solution</u></em></span>:</b> See bad things as a part of the ebb and flow of life. Suffering is a part of the human condition — but it passes. All pain goes away, eventually. Meanwhile, don’t let it hold you back. Do not dwell on bad things, but look forward towards something good in your future. And learn to take the bad things in stride, and learn from them. Bad things are actually opportunities to grow and learn and get stronger, in disguise.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">7. You can’t do anything right! Why can’t you be like Johnny?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><span style="color: red;">Problem</span>:</u> This can be said to your child or your subordinate or your sibling. The problem? Comparing two people, first of all, is always a fallacy. People are different, with different ways of doing things, different strengths and weaknesses, different human characteristics. If we were all the same, we would be robots. Second, saying negative things like this to another person never helps the situation. It might make you feel better, and more powerful, but in truth, it hurts your relationship, it will actually make you feel negative, and it will certainly make the other person feel negative and more likely to continue negative behavior. Everyone loses.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #38761d;"><em><u>Solution</u></em></span>:</b> Take the mistakes or bad behavior of others as an opportunity to teach. Show them how to do something. Second, praise them for their positive behavior, and encourage their success. Last, and most important, love them for who they are, and celebrate their differences.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">8. Oh yeah? Well up yours too!</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red;"><u>Problem</u></span>: If someone insults you or angers you in some way, insulting them back and continuing your anger only transfers their problem to you. This person was probably having a bad day (or a bad year) and took it out on you for some reason. If you reciprocate, you are now having a bad day too. His problem has become yours. Not only that, but the cycle of insults can get worse and worse until it results in violence or other negative consequences — for both of you.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #38761d;"><em><u>Solution</u></em></span>:</b> Let the insults or negative comments of others slide off you like Teflon. Do not let their problem become yours. In fact, try to understand their problem more — why would someone say something like that? What problems are they going through? Having a little empathy for someone not only makes you understand that their comment is not about you, but it can make you feel and act in a positive manner towards them — and make you feel better about yourself in the process.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">9. I don’t think I can do this — I don’t have enough discipline. Maybe some other time.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red;"><u>Problem</u></span>: If you do not think you can do something, you probably won’t. Especially for the big stuff. Discipline has nothing to do with it — motivation and focus has everything to do with it. And if you put stuff off for “some other time”, you will never get it done. Negative thinking like this inhibits us from accomplishing anything.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #38761d;"><em><u>Solution</u></em></span>:</b> Turn your thinking around: <b>You can do this! </b>Find ways to make yourself a success at your goal. If you fail, learn from your mistakes, and try again. Instead of putting a goal off for later, start now. And focus on one goal at a time, putting all of your energy into it, and getting as much help from others as you can. You can really move mountains if you start with positive thinking.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Home is the one place in all this world where hearts are sure of each other. It is the place of confidence. It is the place where we tear off that mask of guarded and suspicious coldness which the world forces us to wear in self defense, and where we pour out the unreserved communications of full and confiding hearts. It is the spot where expressions of tenderness gush out without any sensation of awkwardness and without any dread of ridicule.</span></div>
