Never, Ever Give Up On Your Dreams! 2007-11-01 23:38:14 When you want something in your life, you can not snap your fingers and just make it appear. Your dreams take time, your wishes take time, and your desires take time.
But humans aren’t very patient creatures, especially in this world of fast-paced, give-it-to-me-now lives. However, if you want to create the life that you were meant to live, you are going to have to learn how to be patient and how to get through difficult times.
1) Why giving up is not an option
Deep inside of you is a dream.
This might be a newer dream or something that you’ve been thinking about for a while now.
In any case, it’s something that you long for, something that you can feel, taste, touch with your mind.
But this initial rush of emotion and desire wanes after a while. Just as a love relationship, those intense feelings that you had at the beginning begin to simmer after a while.
They’re still there, but they’re different than they were before. Does this mean that your dream Read more:Dreams

Retirement Financial Planning and Retirement Ideas 2007-10-29 19:38:24 Too soon we get old, and too late we get smart is the old Yiddish proverb. This applies to most people as they do retirement planning. Retirement ideas range from imagining yourself living in a life of luxury, playing golf, taking 9 month vacations, and enjoying life, down to living in a retirement community where your basic needs are taken care of. Failing to plan for your retirement can have very negative consequences on the quality of your retired life.
To do proper retirement financial planning, you should start early – that’s the “too late smart” part of the proverb. You’re getting older every day – are you getting smarter? Fortunately, there are retirement books that can help you with this. One of the most important is “401(k) Basics” by Motley Fool publishing. It will steer you into how to make the most of a company 401(k) plan, while taking an unsentimental retirement view – telling you that there is no fast road to riches, onl Read more:Financial
Guilt is Hurtful to All 2007-10-29 00:53:50 Are you feeling guilty about something you feel you should have or should not have done, thought, or felt? Do you sometimes feel guilty for not feeling guilty? Are you aware how this negative emotion is hurting others and you? Would you like to learn how to release your guilt feelings?
As a Marriage, Family Therapist, I have learned how guilt feelings can cause numerous problems. This negative emotion hurt the men, women, and children in many areas of their lives. Through the HART (Holistic And Rapid Transformation) process I developed, I was able to assist them to uncover their unconscious guilt feelings and resolve their issues. Then they allowed themselves to be happy, healthy, and successful.
Basically, guilt feelings imply that you are a bad person and you do not deserve whatever you desire. The following are specific ways this negative emotion can affect you and examples.
Guilt can cause ….

Why Do Most Women Need Security, Approval and Consistent Emotional Connection? 2007-10-26 23:41:50 Have you often asked yourself this question: Why Do Most Women
Need Security, Approval
and Consistent Emotional
Connection?
You have to consider that men and women are very different. Men tend to think with their heads more than their hearts, but women let their emotions run their life. They think that everything works out when you go to the direction of the heart, but men tend to think more logical about things. Women are spontaneous, and men are planners. Some men plan their entire life and never do any of it, because they are still planning.
Women will plan maybe a day or two ahead, but they do not plan weeks at a time because they know that their heart will change their direction. The reason why women need security is much the reason why men need security. There are men who feel very out of control. They don’t control what they do for a living, they don’t control their marriage, they don’t even control their daily schedules, however, the security will bring more t
How to Find Lasting Love by Experiencing Your Experience 2007-10-24 23:39:09 In the pre-commitment stage when singles become couples, each partner has different hopes and dreams, wants and needs, attitudes and experiences. These differences too often result in relationship failure and disappointment when one or both partners attempt to mold the relationship and their partner to fit what they want, rather than accepting and embracing what is. While we must have a vision and requirements and choose a partner and relationship aligned with what we want, we can’t be so rigid that we reject reality.
How do we let go of needing perfection without settling for less than what we really want? One strategy I recommend for Conscious Mating is to “experience your experience.”
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO “EXPERIENCE YOUR EXPERIENCE?”
Your “experience” is what happens inside of you. It happens automatically. It’s the thoughts that pop into your head, the sensations you have in your body; what you see, hear, feel, touch and taste. It&rs

(Finding the Real Thing) 2007-10-20 23:43:06 “Something is always missing,” Karla said. “In the beginning of the relationship, he always seems like the perfect one, finally. We’re happy, excited, deeply in love, and then - reality sets in. I start wondering who he really is, and the thrill of seeing him disappears. I look at him and wonder what I loved, I don’t feel beautiful anymore. The light has gone from my eyes.”
Of course the light can never leave Karla, but this experienced of disappointment has taken place because she was in the grip of counterfeit love. She didn’t love her boyfriend, but the illusion she had about him. Most likely she knew little about him. She certain was not in touch with the part of him that was perfect, his true self.

Why Anger Arises In The Family: And How To Let It Go 2007-10-18 23:54:28 The family is the most common place for anger to erupt. It is also the place where the seeds of anger are sowed. When we live closely with others, when we are bonded to them, attached, dependent or vulnerable these individuals have the power to affect us deeply. In these relationships our expectations and demands greater.
Images Of The Family
We have strong images of how parents, siblings or children “should” behave. We feel we have the right to demand love and attention from those in the family. Parents have strong feelings that they have the right to loyalty and obedience, just because of their roles, (no matter how they treat their children). Children often feel the same. There is a common craving for a “happy family”, where everyone loves and cares for each other, and where everyone accepts all of each other’s difficulties. Unfortunately, this craving is often unfulfilled. For the most part the myth of a happy family is often a dream.

How To Save Your Marriage: Marriages REALLY Can Last Forever 2007-11-05 19:15:59 It’s a fact that more marriages end in divorce than those that last. It used to be that marriages really were forever. The phrase “till death do us part” was actually meant when it was uttered during wedding vows.
Now, we see or hear about celebrities who marry for 18 hours and couples that get hitched only to get legal status in one country or another.
Marriage is not a word that should be taken lightly, yet it is on a daily basis. But what do you do when your marriage is starting to fall apart, when everything you want is slowly slipping away?
You rescue it.
1) Rescuing the Relationship
To save your relationship, you must first figure out what is causing it to fall apart. Do you and your spouse talk about things, or are you too busy working and raising your family to discuss what’s going on?
Have you gone on a date in the last six months? Do you fight and argue all the time, or has one of you cheated on the other?
What is causing the relationship to break down? Let’ Read more:REALLY

Keys To Successful Love And Marriage 2007-11-11 21:44:15 Make your marriage a success instead of a divorce statistic. Judged by the rising tide of divorce statistics, it has become increasingly difficult for a young couple to make a success of their marriage. But if you understand the causes for failure and the essentials for success, you need not end up among the failure statistics. Your marriage can be a success.
One reason for failure is the tendency of people to take marriage for granted, like steam heat and hamburger stands. Marriage to them is just something you do, like wearing shoes, getting your hair cut, or brushing your teeth. As such, it does not seem to call for any special training or understanding. Whatever knowledge and skills you may need you can pick up, just as you learned to walk, or get on and off the bus. "Doin' what comes natcherly' seems to be enough.
Marriage is lots of fun. But it is a party in which you are host as well as guest. Therefore it is work. It can mean what seems to be an endless round of dishes an
The Legends of Eros - God of Love 2007-11-09 21:39:02 Eros (the Greek counterpart of the Roman Cupid) is well known as the boyish cherubic figure depicted in all forms of art. The myths involving Eros as the son of Aphrodite (Venus) and Ares (Mars) were formed much later than the original myth.
In this older myth, Eros is one of the primeval forces that came into existence from Chaos (Nothingness). To the ancient Greeks, he was the personification of desire and sexuality, represented as a tall, athletic young man; the epitome of beauty.
His power was undisputed, as he was able to "unnerve the limbs and overcome the mind and wise counsel of all gods and all men" (Hesiod, Theogony [116-138]) He became an assistant of Aphrodite after her birth, and later his role changed as he became her son.
The Significance of the Name
In Greek, there are three main words for love; 'storge', "philia', "agape' and "eros.' The first means natural affection, the second refers to friendship and the third is a pure, unconditional love. "E Read more:Legends

Gift Certificates - Worry-Free Giving 2007-11-07 19:05:19 With the holidays around the corner, I thought this would be an interesting article for us all.
Trying to find the perfect present for a friend or family member can sometimes be difficult, and letting them pick out their own present can solve all of those problems. Although letting them pick their own present may seem crazy since it erases the element of surprise, it is actually possible. Giving
gift certificates to friends and family members for their birthday or other holiday is a great idea, since you can make sure that everyone is going to be satisfied with what they are getting.
Because the popularity of gift certificates is increasing, several different stores and restaurants now offer gift certificates.
