Heels

 

Why so?

Form without end.

Standing on heels is different.

They offer an interesting psychology.

Unlike anything else.

Thats why women love heels.

Is it?

Everyman

 

Is the framer of his own destiny.

Every other theory which shifts responsibilty or paralyses effort is false.

We can be only that which we have willed to be.

No power above or below will thwart or divert us.

Our destiny is in our own hands.

What we are we have made ourselves.

What we shall be is ours to make.

Tell them what you think

 

If you constantly tell others what you think.

You are gaining nothing.

For your experience and views are your own.

Well known to you.

The repeated expression of them only tends to imprint them more firmly on your mind.

You do not receive any new ideas that others might have.

Being too busy expounding your own ideas.

Try following the 50 - 50 rule.

Listen 50%

Talk 50%

Preferably listen 50% first!

Tendencies

 

All humans have tendencies.

Some have a tendency towards violence.

Some towards control.

Others towards cheating and lying.

Towards avoidance of confrontation.

And so it goes on the list being as long as there are words.

Do you know your tendencies?

Really?

Many do not as these tendencies are at the center of our being.

To know them is to expose our fears to ourselves.

This we do not like to do.

Ask your friends what they think your tendencies are.

Note their tendencies.

To know our tendencies allows us to better understand our driving forces.

Have a look at your tendencies.

Years end

 

And ready for the new year.

What are your plans for the new year?

More of the same?

The new year will not be as predicted.

Too many uncertain variables are in the air.

Change will come to us all.

To enjoy this new year decide to make a contribution.

Something outside yourself

Something for someone or something else.

Altruism is the way to peace of mind.

Make 2007 your best year yet!

Off we go again

 

The end of another year.

How fast it has gone.

Yet another year moves into sight.

Time is not as it was.

Everything moving faster.

Life speeding by.

Adjust to this new reality.

Focus on what you want to do next year.

Do not arrive at the end of it dissatisfied.

Did you do all you intended this year?

Bet you didnt!

Be more organised next year.

Live it to the max.

Reset

 

I am sorry sir our official policy is five days to repair a level three problem.

But I need my machine for business and this is the second time in one month....................

No where to go.................

And then a friend says just turn it off wait ten seconds and try again.

Bingo!

The machine resets itself and works.

Too many times do we find ourselves at the end of a phone trying to rectify a problem with bills, phone, computer, TV or whatever.

The answer is often simple but the effort required to obtain assistance has to be herculean to wade through the call centers and levels of competence.

This is our world.

While things work fine life is great, but once one of our marvel machines breaks down then the pain begins.

Try the reset and if that does not work then regard it as an exercise in humility and patience.

Not easy but we have no real choice unless we can delegate to someone else.

Most of us cannot do this so smile and let go.

Patience is all we can learn from these things.

Frustrating problems are inevitable in a modern interdependent world.

Friends for ever!

 

The same life that throws us into life to suffer or enjoy, as may be deserved, decrees that the friends and the relatives who are like unto each other must incarnate together.

Until by reason of differentiation of character they cannot under any law of attraction remain in company.

Not unless and until they become different do they separate from each other.

And who would wish to be eternally tied to the side of uncongenial relatives or acquaintances merely because there was an accident of birth!

For our aid, also, this law works well and ceaselessly.

"Those whom you help will help you in other lives".

Consciousness

 

Is the indicator of where you are on the evolutionary scale.

Consciousness is not intelligence although they often go hand in hand.

No one has been able to give satisfactory explanations about where consciousness came from or how it arose.

No point in going into a discussion of this.

So we turn to why it is important to understand.

Without consciousness you do not experience much.

With consciousness you can experience life.

Increased consciousness is also the gateway to higher levels of understanding and evolution.

A point from where everything becomes increasingly clear.

It also leads to greater peace of mind.

Grow your consciousness.

In truth it's all you have.

News like food

 

What news do you read?

Like food you have to learn what you like and what you don't.

Do the same with news learn what is good and what is not.

Some news sources cause indegestion and are not good for you.

Leave them alone.

With the internet we now have the chance to easily find sources that deliver reasonably balanced, even objective news.

Choose your news like food.

Or go one further and leave it alone except once in a while.

It is not necessary to consume news every day!
