Wednesday, March 07, 2007 Other mothers Do not try to control Other mothers can become amazing life long friends These mothers let you go out into the world - alone So that you may become your own person They are there for you when and if you ask for help They ask nothing except to be friends They are able to help the relationship change from mother and daughter to friends They are unfortunately a rarer breed than the selfish control freaks May you be so lucky! posted by Antony @ Wednesday, March 07, 2007 0 comments

Tuesday, March 06, 2007 Mothers Come in all shapes and sizes Not only are they physically different They are also very different in how they perceive life Some can even be selfish If yours is one of these then beware It is war because a selfish mother will not change without a fight. If your mother is used to controlling you Using you Asking you why this, why that, then you have two choices Become her poodle and lifelong servant Or understand that you have the responsibility to lead your own life The right even You might choose to serve her if she is ill However if this is not the case then decide are you being used and abused? If you cannot see this then ask your siblings or friends what they see If this is the case then invite her to get on with her own life Tell her that you wish to get on with yours That you do not wish to communicate all the time Tell her what you find reasonable and stick to this There will be many battles before selfish mothers allow their daughters to have their own lives Daughters you choose Poodle or freedom? posted by Antony @ Tuesday, March 06, 2007 0 comments

Monday, March 05, 2007 And you? A half truth is a whole lie. Whatever you might tell yourself. A lie is a lie. Whatever the rationalisation. So better not lie they catch up with you. Why is lying an issue? Because it is what sets us on the road downwards Away from our own innate morality You know when you have done wrong Inside you know When you quash this inside voice you stifle something else, your conscience When you do that you remove your central integrity And this is central to who we are for ourselves How can you feel good when you know that you lie? No peace of mind can be yours when you sold it for a lie Yes these seemingly little things are central to who we are. To ourselves mainly because we may con the outside world for a while But lies have a habit of coming out. And you? posted by Antony @ Monday, March 05, 2007 0 comments

Sunday, March 04, 2007 Moon eclipse Did you see it? Amazing something one can see only a few times in a lifetime No cloud in the sky Clear starry night Slowly the moon gets covered by this dark shadow Finally we are looking at a dark reddish moon And how many of us bothered to get out of our chairs? Or did we just go OK while watching the news? One of the wonders of our world Our companion Without the moon so many things would be different The tides Women's cycles Violence in patients And agriculture amongst others And so on, and how many of us know that one day it will be gone Not now, not for millions of years But in one of our future lives it will be gone Yes gone Then we will miss it because we take it for granted Like an old friend A good companiion So familiar that we hardly notice Until he is gone Hope you saw it posted by Antony @ Sunday, March 04, 2007 0 comments

Friday, March 02, 2007 Tightness That feeling of tightness and tension Comes from fear. Whatever the fear Stop when you feel the tightness and breath deeply. Look in front of you see what is there, really see. . Smile, yes smiling changes the tension. Then look at the cause of the tension. If you can do something about it fine do it. If you cannot then change focus move your mind onto something else. Something external Something involving Something requiring your full attention Later look again. Make decisions on what to do. Do it. posted by Antony @ Friday, March 02, 2007 0 comments

Thursday, March 01, 2007 Classical music Did you know that the greatest change in classical music in the last fifty years is the introduction of blind auditions? Probably not. Since this approach has been introduced the quality of classical music has improved Why? Because women are no longer excluded Because in the audition process they have a fair chance Hence the best musicians are now being hired We all gain Nice that another prejudice bites the dust. posted by Antony @ Thursday, March 01, 2007 0 comments

Wednesday, February 28, 2007 Spring cleaning Finish it off Walk away Let it go So often we let things hang around unfinished And because we do this we do not have peace of mind The unfinished is always there at the back of our minds Make it your job to finish things Not just projects Personal relationships too It does no favours to either party if you just hang on Finish situations New relationships are unlikely to materialise if you are hanging on. Life feels so much better when we get rid of partially completed situations. Spring clean your life. posted by Antony @ Wednesday, February 28, 2007 0 comments

Tuesday, February 27, 2007 Boots Boots What do they say? Someone said they are a bit like SUVs Strong and inspiring a feeling of safety. Possibly a feeling of confidence. How do you look at boots when you buy them? Is it how do they protect me and keep me warm and dry Or is it how do I look in them? What impression do they make? What colors do they go with? What do they say about me? They go with my clothes. They make me look taller They are a particular brand. How about buying them because they fit and are purpose suited? Ah what purpose? Notice how many considerations are involved in buying one item of footwear. Notice how many of these considerations are done without conscious thought. Now notice how many things in our life are done without thought. If you bring thought to everything you do then you will have less time to worry. Worrying endlessly about your life past and future that is. Being focused helps us to stay in the present and so avoid endless worry. posted by Antony @ Tuesday, February 27, 2007 0 comments

Milliseconds

Sunday, February 25, 2007 Milliseconds Is all it takes to give yourself away. Babies look at our faces because they know that this is where they can find explanations. It is where we look for information too. Because on the face is enough accessible information to make mind reading possible. When someone tells us "I love you" We look immediately at him or her because by looking at the face we can know. Or at least we can know a good deal more about whether the sentiment is genuine, Do we see tenderness and pleasure? Or do we catch a fleeting micro-expression of distress and unhappiness flickering across his or her face. So be careful you can give yourself away in milliseconds. We do not even know how we do this. Just knowing that we do not like or trust someone. It's all done in milliseconds. Become conscious of those milliseconds. posted by Antony @ Sunday, February 25, 2007 0 comments
