How To Overcome Being Duped

In a perfect world, there would be no con artists. No liars. No thieves. And no one would have to feel the anger and sadness that comes with getting taken advantage of. Of course, the world is not perfect and people are mistreated everyday. Fair? No. Reality? Yes. That’s why it’s imperative that you know how to deal with a situation in which you feel you’ve been wronged.

Violence Today

Todays world is filled with violence and adversity. Many people feel that through violence and suppression, our enemies will be broken and eliminated. Instead of showing love and compassion to our fellow man, we show our muscle (nuclear arms, weapons of war and weapons of the street) and refuse to truly sit and talk to each other. The question of humanity is, when will we learn to harmonize with one another and stop the eternal fighting. When will we learn to blend with natur

Cherish your parents

Yesterday was my mom’s birthday. She would have turned 86 if lung cancer hadn’t ended her life 14 year ago. There are days when I’d give anything to spend a few more hours with her. It’s funny how I remember every little detail about her last three weeks of life: How I packed up my kids and told my husband I’d be home after she died – the doctor said she had anywhere from two weeks to three months. How I told my daughter’s second grade teacher we’d do school by mail since there was no Internet. How I knew I had to be there for her no matter how long or how short she lived.r

The Mystique of the Dominant Woman - Addiction to Pain

A number of years ago, in conjunction with my work with treating sexual addiction, a number of masochistic or submissive men began to come to me for help. The clients I saw did not seem immature or inferior. In fact, the reverse seemed to be true. They were successful by social standards: professionally, emotionally, and culturally, in marriages or out. They were frequently individuals of inner strength of character, possessed of strong coping skills and an ethical sense of individual responsibility.

Seven - 7 Acne Myths You Must Know

According to current research in Australia, high carbohydrate foods may flare up acne in some people. Chronic consumption of high carbs stimulates the excessive production of insulin so that eventually more insulin is needed to aid glucose into cells; this is known as "insulin resistance". The higher insulin may drive the ovaries to produce more testosterone which in turn break out acne. This may be what is happening partly in a condition called polycystic ovary syndrome. Here we present some of them: 1. Chocolate and Pizza can cause acne:

What are you sacrificing your dream...for?

In order to gain something we must first let go of something. This is a law of life. To lose weight for example, we must first let go of what is making us fat or out of shape. To be debt free we must cut back on the things that put us into debt in the first place. We must change our ways. All of us have dreams that we would like to see come true. But what are we willing to sacrifice to make them a reality? Let us first find out what a sacrifice is.

***How to Keep Growing (Your Business and Yourself) During the "Slow” Months

There’s an old story about a farmer who is working feverishly to chop down a tree with his axe. A friend comes to pay him a visit and asks the farmer what he is doing. “What does it look like I’m doing?” comes his impatient reply. “I’m chopping down this tree!” Noticing the heat of the day and the sweat upon the farmer’s brow, the friend asks how long he’s been at it. “Five hours,” says the farmer, “And I’m beat.” The friend then suggests to the farmer that a break might do him some good, and that while he is resting he could take a few minutes to sharpen his axe.

How to Increase Your Self-confidence at Public Speaking?

No matter what happened, we could speak (and also laugh, cry and shout) in front of a lot of people, without even noticing it! Somehow, as we grew older, our self confidence became nimbler and weaker, product of social conditioning, and now we sweat and tremble when we're asked to address a few words!

Penis Sensation and Diabetes - Taking Care for Better Sexual Health

Most body parts don't change in size unless they're injured. Fingers, toes, teeth and eyes remain relatively stable unless they're hit or poked, and when they swell, the pain can be enormous. The penis, on the other hand, swells up and shrinks down multiple times each and every day, based on nothing more than physical sensation or mental imagery. However, many men experience loss of penis sensation over the years, and the result can be a penis that just isnât as responsive

Dealing With Other People's Anger

There is a very revealing verse in the Bible that helps define the psychology of an angry person. Proverbs 22:24 Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go: The warning is very poignant. Angry people are exceptionally difficult to deal with. But for many of you reading this article, you don't have the luxury of avoiding an angry person. Perhaps you are already friends with an angry person. Perhaps you're married to a person who has a short temper. Maybe one of your children has a short fuse. Dealing with an angry person is problematic at best.
