A Kernel of Truth about Relationships: 5 steps to improvement
“It’s all about relationships!” proclaimed my father during our recent holiday visit with my parents. Santa Claus coffee cup in one hand and a wagging finger toward my wife, Elizabeth, with the other. “When you retire, that’s what you realize is...

How Do You Build Self-Confidence?
Years ago while running an at-home daycare, I came to realize that we're all born with an innate sense of self-confidence. Every single child under the age of five that I have ever observed has had a strong self-confidence in at least one area of...

The Three 'You'
Today if we are asked as to what kind of person we are, we tend to say, we are not a GOOD HUMAN BEING. We say this not out of modesty but out of guilt-stricken sincerity. Though we don’t call ourselves Bad, we don’t consider ourselves Good either....

The Pleasure of Simple Things
Some people go through life as automatons, taking for granted
everything and everyone and not really paying attention to their
surroundings. This is easily done because not noticing things
may be good for us in the long run. Our mind has a tendency of
noticing and focusing on the negative things; hence, when we
don't notice, we don't get hurt.
However, not noticing the negative will prevent us from not
noticing the positive, as they may come in pairs. There is
always the duality of "good/bad," "ying/yang," "dark/light,"
"good/evil," "heads/tails." What we need to do is understand
this duality and veer our mind from the negative, to the
positive. When we focus on the positive, positive things start
happening to us, and then the negative becomes a non-issue.
Based on this, regardless of your surrounds, you can start
noticing what is that that makes you feel good, instead of
feeling blasé, or, God forbid, bad. And then, as a second step,
you can start appreciating these things. The best way to do
this, is to start by the little, simple things that give you
pleasure in your daily living.
For example, have you noticed how extraordinarily good it
feels...
1. To go to a warm bed, rest your head in a soft pillow, and
relax after a long day?
2. To get into a hot shower, and feel the water running
through
your body, face, and head? And how about a hot bath?
3. To get inside a warm place when it is terribly cold outside?
Or on the contrary, to get inside a very cool place when the
weather is scorching?
4. To feel the hands of a small child touching you?
5. To hear the birds in the morning after a long winter?
6. To hear your children (or your dog) greeting you when you
get home?
7. To drink a glass of fresh water when you are thirsty?
8. To smell fresh coffee and a cinnamon bun?
9. To see animals at play?
10. To taste some food that you love but don't normally have
the chance to eat?
There are many little things that trigger a pleasure moment and
that pass unnoticed through our senses. We deserve to feel good.
It is time to truly stop and smell the roses. And be grateful
for it.
