ARTArticleLife is a Love AffairLife is meant to be a love affair, an actual love affair. Life, as it truly is, is, in fact, a love affair. Now you can choose whether or not to experience life as such, whether or not to join in the dance. But no matter what, life itself always remains a true love affair, an intimate dance in each and every moment.
Every desire for love, every desire to love, is simply the longing within you to experience the reality of life, the truth of what you are.ARTArticleLife’s Easy... It’s Dealing With Ourselves That’s HardARTArticleLife's Hope: Escaping Exte
al SituationsIt is as certain as living and breathing air: everyone has faced bad contemporaneous rimes and we will continue to do so. Exte
al factors, locus of control, and other cases create existing conditions that make us unhappy and cause us pain. Great unhappiness can be overshadowed by a spiritual darkness. Do we allow these dark forces to dictate how far we move forward? Do we allow others and social standing to allow us to live better or worse? Do we reach a level of darkness and loss of hope to dictate how we move forward in our relationship with Christ?ARTArticleLive the MysteryHow willing are you to live in the mystery? How willing are you to live the mystery? Or another way to ask this question is how willing are you to allow the mystery to live you?
You see, you live in mystery. Or, better said, you are a living mystery.
Very few people are ready and willing to accept this mystery. The mind wants to figure the mystery out, seeking to grasp and hold onto the mystery.ARTArticleLooking Back, And Then Moving Forward.This year will be over in a matter of days. Then, 2014 begins.
I would suggest that you take a long and hard look at 2013 (the year that it was, for you). While I realise that some people may say that the past is irrelevant, I strongly believe that the past can teach us a great deal.
So, please look at 2013, and ask yourself the following questions:ARTArticleLoosen the Reins! Is he Crazy?“Loosen the reins up, don’t hold her so tight!” yells my instructor across the arena. “You are absolutely nuts,” the frustrated voice in my head yells back.
It takes more than a leap of faith to loosen the grip on the fantastically energetic quarter horse as I am watching the fence posts clip by at such a pace that they seem to become a solid wall of white. “She’ll only take off faster if I let go!” but I do as instructed and … bingo: she speeds up.
“Isn’t this nice?ARTArticleLoss of LightLight fading, time passing, big boy is ten, baby isn’t a baby and the time for having babies is over. The pregnant woman in the check-out line and it’s eleven years ago, pregnant with my own belly of hope and love, on the threshold of everything new and exciting. There was pain then, too, but it’s the joy and anticipation that come flying from past to present now, another layer of recognition that a stage of life is over. Oh, this life. Oh, the highly sensitive soul with the acute awareness of the passage of time and how it just keeps on marching on.ARTArticleLove and Relationship Quotes“True love comes quietly, without banners or flashing lights. If you hear bells, get your ears checked.” ~Erich Segal
“Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction.” ~Antoine de Saint-Exupery
“Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something. They’re trying to find someone who’s going to make them feel good.ARTArticleLove Cannot Be MeasuredLove cannot be measured. It cannot be placed in test tubes in a science laboratory or placed on the great scale of life to determine whether or not there’s enough. The anxious/sensitive mind longs for a definite answer to the questions that swirl through its brain - Do I love you enough? What is enough? Do I love you as much as you love me? - praying that a divine hand will reach down from the heavens and seal the relationship with a stamp of approval. But love is not an exam you take in school where you can receive a letter grade.ARTArticleLove is a PracticeWe have an idea in this culture that you either have it or you don’t: You’re athletic or you’re clumsy; you’re a great orator or you stumble over words; you’re talented artistically or you can barely draw a stick figure; love comes easily to you or you struggle to find flow in relationships. While there’s no denying that people are born with gifts, there’s also no denying that with enough accurate information, support, and practice, you can excel at almost anything.ARTArticleLove Yourself, and the Rest Will FollowHow do you feel about self love? More importantly, how well do you love yourself? For most of us, loving ourselves is something we may know is important, but often have difficulty actually feeling, expressing, and embodying.
For me, I’ve spent much of my life – as a student, an athlete, in business, in relationships, and in general – demanding perfection of myself, and of course, falling short and then feeling inadequate on a regular basis.ARTArticleLove: Where Does Love Come From?While some people say money makes the world go round, other people say that it is love that makes the world go round. Each outlook deserves to be heard and the outlook that one has is likely to depend on what they’re like as a person.
If one was an idealist they might say it is love and yet if they are a realist, they might say it is money. But if one was to step back from both of these options, it is clear to see that the world goes round no matter what people believe.ARTArticleLoyalty: Is Being Loyal Good Or Bad?One of the reasons why people have dogs is because they are loyal companions. And while this is one of their strengths, it can also cause them to be taken advantage of.
Yet, even though this can set them up to be treated badly, it doesn’t mean they will simply run away. Instead, a dog is likely to stay with their owner and to continue to put up with what is happening to them.
A Different Experience
If one was to look at how dogs experience life, they could say that human beings are different. This can be due to the fact that a human being usually has more options than a dog.ARTArticleMaintaining a successful presence for professionals in transitionBeing displaced from your job is an upsetting and even traumatic experience under any circumstances. Projecting a defeated or stressed outlook, however, is unlikely to attract your next position. In fact, it’s likely to do the opposite.
You need to take some time to rebuild your professional image from the inside out. There are a multitude of things you can do to enhance both your personal outlook and the professional presence you convey to potential employers.ARTArticleMake Peace with Your Body and AppearanceThis is an excerpt from my new book Nothing Changes Until You Do, posted with permission. Published by Hay House and available online or in bookstores.ARTArticleMake Room for Success in 3 Easy StepsAre you ready to achieve success in your life or career but constantly feel drained or overwhelmed? That’s natural because we are consistently bombarded with tasks, emails, phone calls, text messages, and social media. You might have the greatest intentions, but still find obstacles getting in the way of you attaining your goals. When I first start working with my clients, we take a look at their time management skills to ensure they’ve minimized distractions. Some people still find they have so much going on, and have too many things on their To Do List.ARTArticleMaking The Most Out Of The Year AheadHow do you make the most out of the year ahead? While there might be no single, plain, and simple answer to so deep and wide a question, there are certain things that you can do in order to make the most out of the new year.
So, here are some simple, yet effective things that you can keep in mind to make 2014 a productive and fulfilling year for you.ARTArticleManifesting the Life You've Always Desired with the Law of AttractionIt doesn't matter what your history is, it doesn't matter what your fears, conce
s and limiting beliefs are today. It doesn't matter what family, country or economic conditions you came from. You can change your point of attraction in a matter of seconds. The time it takes to change your thoughts AND your feelings about those thoughts. Practiced regularly, you'll change your point of attraction and transform you life. Plain and simple. I said simple, not always easy.ARTArticleMasculine And Feminine: Why Do Some People Find It Hard To Embrace Both Sides?Physically men and women are very different; with a woman being an example of the feminine and a man being an example the masculine. But while this much is true, on the inside they are both made of masculine and feminine traits.
And for a long time, men generally behaved in ways that were masculine and women behaved in ways that were feminine. However, as time has passed, women have become more masculine and men have become more feminine in some cases.ARTArticleMaximize Return on Investment (ROI)What are the metrics used by you to calculate return on investment (ROI)? Of course, the bottom line, profitability (money), is important. It gives us more options to invest our time wisely to work with others to be more productive and profitable. However, when making a deal you need to listen for your inner voice to know how to maximize return on investment.
There are seven metrics you can use to determine whether an investment on your behalf is trustworthy.
Return On InvolvementrARTArticleMeaning: Can Embracing Our Pain Lead To A More Meaningful Life?Although pain is part is life and can’t be avoided, the western world and the countries influenced by it, are largely focused on eradicating pain. Pain is then something that has no purpose or reason for existing and therefore has to be removed.
There are all types of pain that one can experience, from physical, mental and emotional. The type of pain that is often avoided the most is emotional and emotions are rarely embraced in today’s world.ARTArticleMindfulness: Can Mindfulness Cause Someone To Become Emotionally Disconnected?When one reacts to what is going on exte
ally or to what is going on internally, they are not experiencing self control and at times, this is to be expected; human beings are not robots after all. However, when one experiences no self control whosoever, they are going to find it difficult to feel centred and at peace with themselves.ARTArticleMirroring: Is Mirroring Important To Someone's Development?When one is a baby and then a child, they are completely dependent on their parent’s responses to them. Through their caregivers responding, one will be able to have their need for food and nurturing to be met.
And this also goes on to include one’s self image and how they view themselves. This will generally be formed by how ones caregivers acted or don’t act towards them. At this age, one needs their caregivers to mirror back what they are going through.ARTArticleMomentum: Is Momentum An Important Part Of Success?When something is moving, it can be a lot harder to stop it. And yet when something is not moving, it can be a lot harder to get it going. If a boulder was rolling down a hill for example, stopping it could be extremely difficult. If this boulder was not moving, getting it rolling could also be extremely difficult.
This shows how much of an impact momentum can have on something. Without it, more energy is needed to make something happen, and with it, more energy is needed to stop something from happening.ARTArticleMoney: Should All The Money In The World Be Divided Equally?It doesn’t take much effort for one to realise that not everyone on this planet has the same amount of money. Yet this is not the only area in the world where there is a difference – this is one of many. Not everyone is the same height, has the same hair colour or eye colour, for instance.ARTArticleMost Common Self- Inflicted Obstacles to Your Personal and Professional SuccessWhen you experience life through the tainted glass of negative self beliefs, you create obstacles for yourself on a regular basis. In general, you don’t even realize that you are doing it. Instead, you focus on the difficult time that you are having in reaching your goal or creating the change you want in your life. You tend to see exte
al factors as the cause for things being so difficult for you. Yet, not once do you stop to wonder if the difficulty in reaching your goal is self-inflicted.ARTArticleMother Enmeshed Men: Why Don’t Some Men Break Away From Their Mothers?For many years, men have been seen as being one way and women as being another way. And part of this related to men being the ones who were independent and the women as being dependent. So a man would be an example of the masculine on the outside and on the inside and a women’s outer femininity would be matched by her inner femininity.ARTArticleMotivation: Can Trapped Grief Cause A lack Of Motivation?While there are some people who are always doing things, there are others who rarely do anything. Just as there are going to be people who are fairly active, but not the degree that they fall on either side of the spectrum.
However, even though there will be people who can relate to this, it doesn’t mean that this will always apply to them. At times, one might go from someone who can’t be bothered to do anything, to someone to ends up being extremely driven and vice versa.ARTArticleMoving Forward: Is The Fear Of Being Abandoned Stopping You From Moving Forward?It could be said that human beings have an inherent need to grow and to move forward in life. And what one person sees as being a sign of growth is not necessarily what another person sees as a sign of growth.
But while there are going to be differences, what most people are going to agree upon is that growth is important. It is possible for one to have one area of their life where growth is important, or they could have number of areas.ARTArticleMusic: Can Music Trigger Grief?In some shape or form, music has been around for thousands of years and while there are styles around today that weren’t around in the past, it still has the same effect. When it comes to making music today, electrical equipment is often used and this has allowed people to create sounds that didn’t exist before.
This is the case when it comes to the mainstream music, but the there are still many styles that don’t rely on modern-day technology. There are also styles that merge new technology with technology that has been around for a while.
