My wife found this entertaining and hilarious video, showing marriage expert Mark Gungor talking about the differences between men’s and women’s brains.
Self Improvement, Spiritual Growth and Economic Conditions
By Remez Sasson
Do you think that only people who have no financial and economic problems have the time for self improvement and for meditation?
Some people do think so.
Do you agree with this line of thinking?
It is possible that this idea arose, because people who are in a better economic condition have more free time, and they want to fill it with some activity, with some hobby. If this is the case, then are they earnest enough or they are just dabbling?
Self improvement, meditation and spiritual growth do not depend on one’s economic condition.
It is true, when you are in a better financial condition it easier to afford buying books and participating in workshops. However, there are many instances of people living in difficult conditions that care about education, about improvement, and about spiritual growth, and therefore, find the means and the time for them.
The truth is that self improvement, meditation and spiritual growth do not depend on one’s economic condition. It is your mind that says they do. It does not want you to make changes and improvements, since it is afraid that this might shake its concepts and beliefs, and endanger its supremacy over you.
Attachment
By John Samsen
Forming attachments is one of the most natural things we do. Animals bond with family groups, and become attached to their habitats, their kinds of foods, and their territories.
Babies bond with their caregivers, and quickly become attached to their thumbs, their blankets, and their toys.
All through our lives, we form attachments to people, our bodies, our minds, our “looks”, our religious and political groups, and many other things.
Sometimes attachments become addictions. In extreme forms, they can become our masters, our prisons.
Creating Positive changes in Your Life with Energy Psychology
By Natalie Lewis
We all want to change things in our lives. I have not met anyone who does not have this desire.
We are all looking for something whether that be a better job, a bigger home, a newer car, the right partner, better or new friends, more money, resolving emotional difficulties, moving forward with our lives in a positive way, overcoming upset, dealing with health problems… the list goes on!
The great thing about where we are in our development as a species is that we are starting to realise that if we have problems and things that we want to change in our lives, we have to fix what is stopping us from being able to create it in the first place.
One of the great phrases that is currently used is “your outer world is a reflection of your inner world”. So in other words, whatever you don’t like “out there” can all be effectively changed by healing the negativity that is within you.
Letting Go of Your Bananas
By Ng Ah Eng
To many, having a place to call your own is an important. Owning a home is so much a pride possession that many people cling to it regardless of the price they had to pay. It is not surprising that many of us spend our entire life working to pay off our home.
Below is an interesting encounter that I have had that gave me a new perspective of life.
Sometimes back this year, I came across an old lady who was staying by herself in a big house. She was in her eighties, single, she lives alone by herself. Being old, she is weak and is not able to walk well.
With barely any income and people to visit her, she took up gardening to sustain herself. She planted some vegetables so that she could cook them and eat them. Her garden was so well kept that I noticed that there was no visible ants and worms around her garden. She even painted and maintained her own house. These are demanding tasks for a person of her age.
