Where does love come from? Contemporary science tells us that love is built into us. As the great researcher, Allan Schore, proves, we enter the world pre-wired to love the first person who takes care of us. Once an infant is born it works like this. When an infant sees his mother gazing at him with love in her eyes, happy neuro-chemicals flood the infant's brain. The child feels happy. He or she likes this feeling and wants more of it. This sets up an attachment to the source of this good feeling. Since the good feeling comes from mom, the kid starts to love mom.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery? A phrase we have heard many times. First said by Charles Caleb Colton, it’s usually used in an ironic or sarcastic tone. Meant to convey that while you are annoyed that you have been copied, you recognize the fact that whoever has copied you is ultimately paying you a compliment. When this happens do you acknowledge that you have been copied and thank them? Do you wait for them to admit to their lack of individuality? It’s a sticky situation.

We are all looking to end our emotional suffering and solve our life's problems.

Other people, businesses and entrepreneurs who work in the same business arena as you are your competitors and you are theirs! I believe that this is a myth that is outdated and unhelpful for you to believe this is true. The only time someone else, becomes your comptition or you perceive them as your comeptitor, is when you do not have true belief in your own services or products. When we are lacking in our own confidence and belief in what we are doing, we will automatically perceive every other business or entrepreneur who offers similar products and services to ours, as our competi

Mediocrity Is A Learned Habit For most people the idea of having a good job, married with kids, drive a nice car, and retire after 30 years of service to a company is the American Dream. In retrospect it is for most Americans. After doing an evaluation of my own experiences and changing them for the better. Becoming aware of this fact is eye opening. What people do day in and day out unconsciously is conform. Very simply put in the strangest secret in the world by Earl Nigh

How do we change? Change takes one tiny step, but to take that one step can require a journey of a thousand miles. So many of us can dream of the life we want to have and the person we want to be. It can be especially frustrating when we get to the stage in our adventure where we acknowledge our problems and have agreed to do the hard work of self-cultivation and still find change slow in coming. Despite our efforts, which may include years of therapy, we may still suffer from shame and self-denigration.

In order to accomplish our life goals we need self-confidence. What is self-confidence, where does it come from, and how do we cultivate it? Mencius, my favorite Chinese Sage, believed that confidence comes from "ch'i," the universal source of energy.

Ethical wills are a way to share your love with family and close friends. Think of an ethical will as a heartfelt letter or legacy letter describing what truly matters most in your life. An ethical will passes on life lessons, values, joys, prayers, hopes and dreams for present and future generations. It doesn't have to be anything fancy-just a letter from the heart that expresses your thoughts. Unlike a Last Will and Testament or a Living Will, an ethical will is not a legal document.

Some of the most repulsive views that may be found in a household is mold which signifies muck and an intense shortage of cleanliness.

“The Leukemia is the body’s way of healing. I think we have to live in harmony with it (cancer) and not be so terrified of it and not be trying to kill it.” Wayne Dyer’s cancer journey has taken him from initial disbelief to a place of acceptance and love and, more importantly, at 71 he is living with cancer and feeling better than ever.

In the wake of the BP oil spill, we face a major environmental disaster. Hundreds of animals are dead, and even more are in danger. It could take years for affected areas to fully recover. As cleanup efforts are ongoing, engineers are still trying to work out the best method to control or stop the oil. Countless environmental lessons can be gleaned from this catastrophe, and BP and the nation as a whole will hopefully learn from the mistakes that were made. While the focus is

When we look back on the past – whether just yesterday or many years ago, sometimes we think, "I wish I knew then what I know now." To help find peace of mind in the present, try working with that wish in your jou aling practice. Go back to that previous time for a dialog with your younger self. Say all the things you wish you had heard at the time. The process is likely to turn up greater understanding than you expected, with insights into your present life as well as healt

This article is about Counselling and the possible reasons it doesn't work. When it comes to counselling most people I have spoken to believe one of two things - it is so helpful or it's a waste of time. When you delve further into this viewpoint it becomes apparent as to why they have developed these thoughts around counselling. Just so you know I am an avid advocate of counselling and believe everyone should aspire to be able to work through their issues - either on their own or with the help of a professional.

If you are a chronic procrastinator, you probably have horror stories about procrastination. Have you ever found yourself sitting at your desk, knowing that you need to work on a project, even getting angry emails or instant messages from your boss or a client, missing a deadline at that very moment, but completely unable to do the work? Not just unwilling, but feeling absolutely stuck, literally unable to do the work you’re supposed to be doing?

Here are 7 important life lessons. Getting to know and understand these can make a big difference in creating a balanced lifestyle for yourself. Remember making positive choices is one of the most crucial life skills you can ever master. 1. The world does not owe you a living. You have to make your own way in life and no one can live your life for you. Learn to stand on your own feet as soon as possible. Becoming independent and steering your own course means you will be abl

Yesterday was a day I will probably remember for the rest of my life. I had the very special privilege of attending the beloved King of Pop, Michael Jackson's memorial service. Approximately 1 billion people all over the world watched as we bid farewell to the greatest entertainer the world has ever seen. All over the world, we got chills as they brought his coffin in, applauded when Al Sharpton put all vultures in their place, smiled when Brooke Shields shared her sweet memo

This morning I attended a funeral for one of the employees of our mortgage company, Mike McPhee. I only knew Mike for a short period of time, but during that time Mike always impressed me. He was hard working, organized, positive, helpful and always had a smile on his face. He was built well, in great shape and lived a clean life. Maybe that is why it was so difficult to understand how someone like Mike, could leave work on Friday, go skiing on the weekend, and be dead six da

From a purely biological perspective, no creature inherently has rights beyond that which it has the power to impose. What is able to survive does, what cannot does not. But our world is not just biology. It is ethics as well. “Might makes right” cannot be the operating paradigm in a ...

Think differently. It's one of the most powerful statements I've ever read. It reminds me, whatever my lens, view, or perspective, it matters. And, if you're a good girl, careful to keep your boat steady and waters calm, it's time to raise the tide. Look deeper at how you govern you. You empower yourself, create your own life, and happiness when you color outside the lines. Here are a few creative ways to begin. Beat Your Own Drum

In his poem The Road Not Taken Robert Frost compares Life to a road in the woods. . . . Some paths are clear and smooth; others are bumpy and filled with obstacles. While Frost's poem encourages us to be bold, to take risks, and to explore the unknown, the truth of the matter is that, no matter ...In his poem The Road Not Taken Robert Frost compares Life to a road in the woods. . . . Some paths are clear and smooth; others are bumpy and filled with obstacles.

Kate Moss’ notorious quote, “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels,” has been a common buzz-phrase in the American collective memory for years. Although Americans’ body mass index has risen by leaps and bounds in the past decade, bean-pole thin is still the desire for many modern American women. This goal of being “skinny” is by no means an accident. Heteronormative ideas of how a woman should act, look and dress in order to attract a man pervade our culture from

Brandy Sharpe, a Hollywood makeup artist, had experienced a very bad year romantically, she said. Everything had gone wrong. Her “good lover” had been only that, and the rest of him was a disaster. But then, she admitted, a good love was only what she had been looking for. So Brandy and ...

For many, the actor who epitomized the character “Superman” is Christopher Reeve, and as millions know, at the height of his career he suffered a tragic accident that left him totally paralyzed, unable to care for himself or, initially, even to breathe unassisted.n nWith the support of his wife, Dana, Chris persevered and battled back, becoming a vigorous advocate and the public face for research that develops treatments and cures for paralysis caused by spinal cord injur

Generally, failure is viewed as something negative. For those experiencing it, it may become the end of the road and therein lies the monster for simply, fear of failing again may cause a reluctance to move on. It is said that success is failure turned inside out. Thus, far from being negative, failure can be just the spur that is needed to point you in the right direction when you are off track. It can therefore have some very positive outcomes. SOME FACTS ABOUT FAILURE:

As children we are weaned on Cinderella and acculturated by an endless parade of romantic fantasies in novels, television and movies. It would be easy to assume that if we are not madly in love there is something wrong with us. The euphoria of being in love is like an hourglass, with the heart ...

The richness of life comes from our interactions with other living things. But many of us don’t interact with living things as much as we used to. For example, as I write this article it is appearing on my monitor, but on my companion monitor there is a screensaver. The screensaver image is of a beautiful green rolling meadow lying under a blue sky dotted with white fluffy clouds. The grass in the meadow seems to be leaning a bit, so I believe that there is a gentle breeze pushing at the grass. I see a few yellow dots in the foreground of the screen.

Cyberstalking is a recent form of criminal behavior involving persistent threats or unwanted attention using the Internet and other means of computer communications. With more and more people going “online,” the opportunity to target someone on the Internet is becoming limitless. Cyberstalkers visit chat rooms, discussion forums or message boards in search of victims. The range of cyberstalking can range from aggressive and hostile email, chat room bullying, leaving abusi

I’m free to think, speak and act in my own way and yes, I have the freedom to be wrong and learn from that. We live in a free world and it is supposed that we have the freedom to choose what we want to think, be or do. The reality is that we live in a very conditioned world influenced by the media. We tend to choose to do or to believe the same thing that other people do. It looks like we don’t like to use our minds, we just follow the leader. The “famous” people are

Part 2 of a 4 part series We all know that cancer cells are mutated cells. But did you know that they can only thrive in a certain environment? To put it bluntly, cancer cells thrive in a toxic environment. Once you are aware of what causes this type of environment, you can do some internal cleansing and take steps towards starving the cancer cells through adjustments in your diet and lifestyle. This approach will help ensure that you are not unknowingly contributing to the growth of cancer cells in your body.

When it comes to the debate about death penalty and capital punishment, everybody has a different view on the subject. Altogether, the death penalty is permitted in 74 countries, including the United States. There are 34 states with the death penalty in the US and each of these states has different laws pertaining to capital punishment. Other than first-degree murder, some crimes that are punishable by the death penalty include treason, espionage, drug trafficking, aggravated

It's one thing to create a personal development plan; if you search on Google you'll find no shortage of articles and other resources purporting to help you create such a plan. It's quite another thing to create an effective personal development plan, one that helps you reach your goals and become the person you want to be.

On December 7, 1914, Ernest Shackleton and a crew of 28 men aboard the ship ENDURANCE entered the pack ice off the continent of Antarctica. Their goal? To be the first party to trek across the continent on foot. It was a goal they would never achieve. Now, nearly a century later, the tale of ...On December 7, 1914, Ernest Shackleton and a crew of 28 men aboard the ship ENDURANCE entered the pack ice off the continent of Antarctica. Their goal?

Life is truly a special gift that should never be taken for granted. As we mature and experience the world around us, we often times let the outer world define who we are, limiting us from discovering our true potential. We begin to feel stuck, trapped and overwhelmed; experiencing circumstances we believe are beyond our control. Our mind tells us a story of doom and gloom. Sound familiar...?

Life will always throw us challenges that sometimes are mild but can also devastating. Being able to rise above these challenges can often be so difficult the only way to deal with them is by patience, trying to be calm and taking each day at a time. Yes I know, try telling the person who is experiencing these ...

As we have learned in this series so far, fairy tales are ironic. They tell a truth so shocking that it can only be revealed in innocent children's stories. 2500 years ago, in Plato’s Republic, Socrates said the truth exposed in these stories was so dangerous that they should not be allowed to be read by children at all! Socrates spoke about one of the earliest Greek myths, the story of the origins of the universe. In this story, Uranus hated his children so much that he buried them in the darkest place. Then his son, Cronus, castrated him.

Few years back, we used to find crowded people in the parks, restaurants and in any other social gathering places. But now these places are filled with silence and people are getting engaged with a colorful screen without bothering about the real world. In the era of social networking, many people are living in the unrealistic world. Majority of the contemporary generation are more dependent on social media and most of them don’t know how to expand their minds without using

Just take a few minutes to think about how you bought your skirt or how you paid your gas bill. You went to the bank or you just did it through the online bank. If you really give this some serious thought, you can find that our life is closely related to a newly-emerged transaction method. That is what we call “E-Commerce” or “EC”.rn rnThe E-Commerce is a modern way to do transaction through network. Compared to the traditional transaction way, e-commerce doesn’t h

If you have read parts 1 through 5 of this series, you now have a terrific plan for helping your troubled adult-child. In this final part, I will discuss the importance of compassion, both for your child, and especially for yourselves as parents, as you work to make this plan work.

Although we are awake living our life, we are not always “awake” in terms of being totally aware of what really is as opposed to what we think really is. Everyone on earth is asleep to some extent; that is, they have illusions about themselves, people, life, and situations…even ascended masters have illusions and aren’t always “awake.” Ascension has its levels. On this ascension path, you will find that you awaken, then sleep, awaken, then sleep, and this goes on

It is a tragedy what is happening in our local school districts. The budget crunch is depleting jobs in the public sector at rapid rates. Collective bargaining agreements are no longer available in many states. If you are an unemployed teacher and your contract wasn’t renewed, I can empathize with you, I too became an unemployed teacher.

You have a right and even a responsibility to be happy. Happiness isrna state of mind. Many people let life pass them by because they choose to be unhappy. They sit around complaining, worrying, procrastinating, and gossiping about other people instead of making the most of every day. They talk about the past and how it was “back when.” Some of them live in the state of “one time.” “One time” we did this and “one time” we did that. People who talk and think mainly about the p

Today’s society places us in many different rolls. We are the friend, the spouse, the parent or child, the employer or team member. We change our behaviors and personas to fit our different and evolving rolls and responsibilities. Like changing our clothes to fit the weather or activity, we lock our true selves into patterns of behavior and speech that “fit in” to the situation of the moment. Like politicians eating tacos in New Mexico and bagels in New York, we are constant

God uses birds to teach, if only we will learn from the birds ... doves .. eagles ... we can learn a lot from these "bird brains." Although there are more tha 9,000 bird species in the world, still blue jays do not mate with cardinals, nor do robins mate with sparrows. Birds have been known to cross breed, but only rarely and then only under specific conditions, and nearly always instigated by human intervention. All those bird species are genetically different from one ano

Rejoice in who you are! Because who and what you are is a gift to the entire world. How good are you about your New Year resolutions? Do most of them involve making changes of some sort to what you’ve done and who you’ve been in the past? That’s the usual format for New Year resolutions … and probably why they hardly ever work.

When we think of exploited workers we normally think of sweat-shops in a third world country, where people work for pennies a day in horrific conditions. But there is a new class of exploited worker right here in the U.S.A., no matter how much money you make, or your professional status. This all-too-common situation is leading to skyrocketing levels of anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and children's issues.
