Thought of The Day 2007-07-23 14:06:16 I like coincidences. They make me wonder about destiny, and whether free will is an illusion or just a matter of perspective. They let me speculate on the idea of some master plan that, from time to time, we're allowed to see out of the corner of our eye.

Why Depression Is On the Rise Today 2007-07-26 23:44:42 You probably know a close family member, relative, friend, co-worker, friend of a friend or somebody else who is suffering from depression. And I’m not talking about the kind of depression you get once in a while.
Nobody really knows the exact cause(s) of depression. There are many causes that have been listed, so for the purpose of this article, the type of depression being discussed here is not the type caused by genetic or biological factors. The type of depression I’m talking about stems from the environment in which we live in today.
Depression is becoming less and less of a taboo subject nowadays. More people are beginning to open up about their depression as they realize more and more that they are not alone. And they are right. They are not alone. Even the people who seem to “have it all” seem to suffer from it as well.
The question then arises. What are the specific causes in the environment today that result in the depression that people seem to hav Read more:Today

Sometimes you can't see yourself clearly until you see yourself through the eyes of others.
Ellen DeGeneres
Thought of The Day 2007-08-01 11:53:03 You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do.
Eleanor Roosevelt (1884 - 1962)
Determination 2007-07-30 13:15:18 In 1883, a creative engineer named John Roebling was inspired by an idea to build a spectacular bridge connecting New York with the Long Island. However bridge building experts throughout the world thought that this was an impossible feat and told Roebling to forget the idea. It just could not be done. It was not practical. It had never been done before.
Roebling could not ignore the vision he had in his mind of this bridge. He thought about it all the time and he knew deep in his heart that it could be done. He just had to share the dream with someone else. After much discussion and persuasion he managed to convince his son Washington, an up and coming engineer, that the bridge in fact could be built.
Working together for the first time, the father and son developed concepts of how it could be accomplished and how the obstacles could be overcome. With great excitement and inspiration, and the headiness of a wild challenge before them, they hired their crew and began to build their d Read more:Determination

Personal Development and Growth 2007-08-13 23:07:57 Personal development and growth is probably, aside from diets, the most written about topic you will find today. There are nearly limitless articles and books, self help tapes and CDs that all target our innate desire to change in ways we perceive as “better”. Most self-help projects today are scams try to convince u of the limitless riches we can attain if we unlock out personal powers. This usually involves buying something and the only thing here growing is the huckster’s bank account. Others offer self-assessment guides to determine just what about ourselves is wrong and needs improvement. These skirts are the true issues surrounding personal development and personal growth.
Personal development and personal growth are concepts that take into account the realistic fact that life changes as we live it and we must both grow and change to be equal to the challenges. As we leave adolescence behind and become adults, we are expected to be able to build our own lives a Read more:Personal

Reset Your Sleep Cycle 2007-08-21 14:24:53 It’s REALLY difficult to wake up in the mornings for some people – a lot of people, in fact. We often wander through our day bleary-eyed and with dark circles under our eyes. As busy adults, we’re perpetually starved for sleep. What’s at the root of this problem? Everyone has a circadian clock, which is an internal body clock that keeps you on a schedule. After a weekend of sleeping in, it can be really difficult to change your wake-up time to an earlier hour because your circadian clock has been programmed to sleep late and ignore the alarm clock.
However, by getting to bed on time and consistently waking up at a set hour, you can reset this clock in as little as a few days. First of all, go to bed at a reasonable hour every night. If you’re staying up late to watch your favorite shows, think about investing in TiVo and watching your programs when you actually have time (like on the weekends). Once you figure out how to get to bed at a reasonable hour, i Read more:Reset

4 Powerful Reasons to Meditate and How To Get Started 2007-09-30 02:35:42 Meditation is the art of silencing the mind. When the mind is silent, concentration is increased and we experience inner peace in the midst of worldly turmoil. This elusive inner peace is what attracts so many people to meditation and is a quality everyone can benefit from.
What are the Benefits of Meditation?
I’ve been meditating twice a day for the past 9 years because I enjoy it. It may seem strange, but I feel happiest when sitting in perfect silence. The experience is difficult to express in words. It is akin to the “peace that passeth understanding”. It is also true that every meditation is not the same. Sometimes meditation is a struggle to control the mind, while at other times it feels effortless.
These are some of the benefits of meditation:
1. Improved concentration - A clear mind makes you more productive, especially in creative disciplines like writing.
2. Less bothered by little things - Do you sometimes allow yourself to get upset by little thi Read more:Reasons
