Thought of the Day: Understanding Misunderstandings

Image
Most people don’t understand themselves or others. we need to make time for this. We get too impatient. Very often, because we are not willing to take this time, misunderstandings continue. We don’t take time to listen to someone quietly and try to understand them. Then we start inventing things about them, because we simply haven’t taken the time to understand.

Thought of the Day: Love Has Many Faces

Image
Love can never be exclusive. The sun does not choose to shine on some flowers in the garden and not others. Love is inclusive and has many faces – caring, listening, sharing from the heart, just accepting someone for what they are right now, are all acts of love, as long as you seek nothing in return. It all starts with acceptance of yourself – you’re just fine as you are right now, warts and all. It’s not that you will stay that way for ever – but you might, if you don’t accept. The secret key to the greatest door called love is acceptance. First your self, then others (especially the ones you currently resist) and eventually …all.

Thought of the Day: The Wonder of Silence

Image
The disease of anger needs the medicine of tolerance; the pain of disappointment needs the medicine of hope; the violence of revenge and spite needs forgiveness; fear needs courage, ego needs self-respect. Through inner silence we receive the strength to heal.

Thought of the Day: Dance In Happiness

The easy way to remain happy is to remain constantly light. Pure thoughts are light and waste thoughts are heavy. Therefore, keep your intellect busy with pure thoughts and you will become light and continue to dance in happiness.

7 Things Everyone Deserves In A Relationship

Image
They say you can't count on anything or anyone for jack. These people were very cynical and upset when they said that. After a hug and some Nutella they changed their pitch. You have some rights in this world, but it's on you to enforce them. You deserve love and the right to explore what that means for you. As you tinker with a relationship, keep these facts on a Post It, in the forefront of your mind.  Passion And Intimacy A healthy relationship has high levels of passion and intense moments of intimacy. You both have to be able to communicate safe boundaries of sexual identity and desire.

You have a right to be loved for who you are. Not who you might be, or who you have been. Mutual Respect And Trust The respect for each other isn't based off money m...

The Egg: This Short Story Is The Most Powerful Thing You Will Ever Read

Image
The Egg  by Andy Wier  is a beautiful short story about death and life. It is written plainly, touching on the value and purpose of the human condition. A fictional tale, it features a conversation between a recently deceased 'you' and a person that introduces himself as 'God'. The dialogue is very relaxed and sincere. The conversation explains and reviews basic global precepts about the meaning of life and what happens when you die. The conversation plays out like two friends in front of a coffee shop. Its steady pace, and concise language bring a constant flow from idea to idea. I don't want to spoil any of the nuances and revelations, but I can tell you some of the aspects covered. Which religion was the 'right' religion, is there a heaven or hell, what is the purpose of life, why create humans and the connection between our maker and us are revealed. This story personally fits my weird, personal mash-ups of belief eriely well. It was really ...

This Short Quiz Will Determine What Your Subconscious Reveals About Your Hidden Personality

Image
The subconscious is the mental formation that we are not fully aware of. Despite the lack of track-ability and knowledge it strongly influences our actions and feelings. In psychology, it is thought of as the more base and animalistic side of our personalities.  By it's definition, it is the part of the mind that operates outside of 'consciousness'. We can't intentionally control this aspect of ourselves. Our imagination comes from the subconscious. We store our raw emotions and thoughts there. This quiz will show you a number of letters arranged like in a crossword. In it are hidden words. Your subconscious will examine the puzzle as a whole and spot out words that it relates to strongly. The words you choose will be compiled and show you a truth about your personality. I got 'Always honest with yourself and with others'. The following description nailed down a part of myself perfectly. I took the test again and I got the same answer. It's a fa...

Thought of the Day: Contentment

Image
Contentment is like an underground river whose course just cannot be daunted. On the surface, people are stamping, pushing, pulling; the ground is cracking or left derelict but underneath the river is flowing, even if at some point it is only a trickle in the darkness.
