A Year Ago Today - Some Thoughts On Perspective

By Anon on August 13, 2015 / 5,475 views

Almost exactly a year ago, I thought my previous relationship was over. After months of crippling anxiety and depression, my partner of 3.5 years finally let me know he'd had enough. I was devastated, I was broken. After about 48 hours, we reconciled, each vowing to do better for each other in the future. In the months that followed, I was stagnant in a constant state of fear and uncertainty...

Fishing

By Joseph J. Mazzella on August 11, 2015 / 7,722 views

I was a young boy sitting on a big rock by a river with a pole in my hands. My Dad was next to me trying to show me the fine art of fishing. Being an impatient boy I wasn't a very good student. I hated just sitting there and longed to be playing ball or riding my bike. After a few more attempts my Dad finally gave up and let me go play so he could fish in peace. It wasn't until I was older...

Nobody Can Hurt Me

By C M Reddy on August 10, 2015 / 6,580 views

'Nobody can hurt me' as long as I accept people as they are, I perceive things around me as in their original form and I rejoice the beauty of Mother Nature in its pure form. We interact with people from our own perception and make all the impressions what our mind manifest from its past learning and experiences. Everyone has equal good & bad emotions. We judge people and things according to our...

Story Of Ego

By Chandramouli Reddy on August 06, 2015 / 7,707 views

"Ego", the natural Human psychological trait that changes everything in its way and makes everyone fall prey to undesirable consequences in their life. The pride & self esteem if they are overrated in our mind it manifest in the form of Ego. We forget to remember the only truth in the Universe is all the living and non living objects and their existence is under the control of the Supreme Power...

A Reputation To Call Mine

By Nana Yaw Otwey on August 06, 2015 / 5,378 views

I was present at a friend’s birthday party last weekend and in the course of the party friends and family were asked to say anything about the friend ever since she came into our lives. It could be good or bad. Everyone spoke giving individual accounts of how we knew her. In as much as we all tried not repeat what someone had already said, two words were inexorable; discipline and hardworking. She earned...

Mother's Day

By LindaRNnLA on August 06, 2015 / 2,395 views

On Mother's Day of 2012, I was getting my nails done early. My grown children were planning to be at the house later in the afternoon. I was thinking of how far I had come from a Mother's Day long ago and feeling grateful. Fifteen years earlier, life was moving very fast. I was a single mom with two children, a demanding job and a long commute. This meant, that the time to shop for groceries, wash...

Create Your Life

By Sonia Kaur on August 06, 2015 / 6,213 views

It is up to you, you want to accept your life as it comes or create your life according to your wish. What you want in your life, then first learn to give then you will get back it in abundance. If we are thankful to god for what we have then we are attracting more blessings and if we are ungrateful for everything we have, then we are loosing our blessings. If you think of illness then...

My Daily Quest

By You Are Loved on August 06, 2015 / 3,983 views

Every single day my daughter and I have a "daily quest" where we do something good for someone else. Usually, I will just pay for someone's coffee behind me in the Tim Hortons drive thru. I don't have much money but I work hard at two and a half jobs and my daughter and I are okay. She donates her allowance to a local animal shelter and we often help out elderly at the retirement home across...

I Just Made Someone's Day And It Feels Great

By Badge on August 04, 2015 / 2,410 views

I was walking to work and a woman drove slowly past me with a blown out tire. It was on a small street about to feed into a much larger street. I pointed at her tire to see if she knew it was blown (sometimes people don't notice these things and they wreck their rims). She made motions as though she knew but didn't know what to do about it. Normally at this point I'd wave, say have a...

The Bright Side Of The Moon

By Coach Muller on August 03, 2015 / 6,999 views

I have always found it interesting that in most things in life, there is a bright, positive side and there is the polar opposite, the dark, sometimes unknowing side. I like to think of the moon as an example…when you look at it at night, you always see the bright side. You can see the light (do you see a rabbit or a face?), you can see the craters of the moon and with a telescope, you can see the true...

Walk Your Own Path

By Chandramouli Reddy on August 03, 2015 / 7,831 views

Many people simply follow the others in every manner by comparing their lifestyles. The inference is that,they are not living their true life for what it is meant. "Every person has a reason to live on this Earth". Every life has some purpose to be filled. Take any activity, be it profession, business, job, career etc it is individual specific. We could not follow others blindly. We have to leave...

Your Power Of Influence

By Skip Myers on August 03, 2015 / 4,903 views

I have been led to share a wonderful story with you. However, this journey came with new challenges and self-reflection as I considered the "bigger picture" this story represents. Just prior to Mother's Day this year, I began writing this story in memory of my Mom. As I progressed through the composition of this story, I felt the familiar presence of a heavy heart as I reflected upon...

Packing Light

By Joseph J. Mazzella on August 01, 2015 / 4,708 views

Our neighbors had to move away recently. An older couple they were headed North to help take care of her sisters who were in ill health. I am going to miss them. They were both so good and kind-hearted. He was a Rembrandt when it came to home repairs and helped both me and my Dad fix up our homes. She was always ready to share a sweet smile, an encouraging word, and a delicious dessert. The day of...

Winners

Yesterday, our former President of our nation passed away while he was delivering an inspiring lecture to a large gathering of students in a premier institution. He was the one great personality who inspired almost every brought up student in our nation through his simple lifestyle though he held high positions in public life. Born in a poor family, mediocre in school studies, never married, maintaining strict...

The Whole Cookie

By Joseph J. Mazzella on July 27, 2015 / 8,496 views

I was in the bakery section of a local supermarket the other day when I spotted a huge, delicious-looking, chocolate cake on sale. I was tempted to put it in my shopping cart but lately I have been trying to keep my middle-age spread from spreading, so I walked on. Just as I was passing it by, however, a little boy no more than four or five years old ran up to it and yelled, "Mommy, Mommy, Let's get...

A Cheerleader's Triumph

By H. Peter on July 24, 2015 / 5,720 views

Bullying comes in all forms and methods, physical, emotional and even spiritual. It is not a just a new phenomenon to the electronic age, but has been around for as long as one group is in and someone is out. The pain that it inflicts can last a lifetime, but can also lead to insight, personal growth and healing. Allow me some thoughts. Sometimes when we knock on a door we have no idea what we will...
