Karma: Continued
In my last post, we discussed the what ifs and questions pertaining to Karma. How does it affect us and to what magnitude? Do we accept it as part of fate or do we have more influence than that? I think we do. You know that saying, “Do unto others as you would have them do to you?” What if that’s more than just an old saying. Can we change the blessings we receive? If we make the conscious decision to do good every day and take into consideration the effect, we have on others we in turn are making that same decision for ourselves.

Purpose: We All Have One
When you wake up in the morning, what drives you to get out of bed? Is it just the fact that it’s morning? Or is it because you are not dead yet? Is it because you have things you need to do before the day is over? Or is it because you have things you want to do before the day is over? Whatever it is, you still get out of bed, right? You wouldn’t be reading this if you didn’t get out of bed. And why do—and did—you get out of bed? Think about it. We all have different reasons for getting out of bed. But whatever you get out of bed for, one thing is certain; it’s for a purpose. Every day has a purpose, and everyone has a purpose every day. It may not be a very big one, but it will all lead up to the bigger purpose; your life’s purpose. Everyone has a purpose every day. Everyone has a purpose in life. We’re all born with a heart, right? Within that heart is a passion that burns brighter than anything else. That is a purpose. And a purpose drives you to get out of bed, and a purpose drives you in life. There is nothing more powerful than a human being with a purpose. However, a purpose isn’t for you. It’s for the people who need you.

5 Hard Truths About Life That Will Empower You
1. You can't make everyone happy. This is a battle you will never win and no matter how hard you try, there are just some people out there that don’t want to be happy... They are attached to their current state of being and there is nothing you can say or do for them that can change that.

How To Reach Your Goals and Remove Your Blocks
We live in a society that tells us when we want something, we should let nothing and no one stand in our way, to go out and make our dreams come true. What happens when we are the ones standing in our own way? When we are creating our own blocked and slowed progress? The three things that we all face in life are the same three bricks that make up the walls that block the road to success and achievement. Fear, doubt, and resentment are the main causes of our inability to progress and achieve our goals. It is only through self examination that we may begin to remove these blocks in our paths and move ahead towards our reward.

Make Your Disadvantages Your Advantages
We all have disadvantages. They can be anything from upbringing to a dead end job. Anything that may be a disadvantage can be turned to an advantage. The key to turning things around is to use your situation. What I mean by that is learn everyday to see how you ended up in your current position.

Living Through the Lens of Should
We view our lives and this world through different lenses. These lenses are shaped and formed by the beliefs and agreements we make with ourselves. Some are dark, some rose coloured, others pessimistic. Personally, I prefer optimism. The lenses individuals choose to see the world through are endless—unique to each person—but common threads can be found.

Discovering Time Management II
During the first week of planning in order to find my 12 extra hours, I found that attempting to micro plan my week put too many constraints on my psyche and my day. It didn’t allow for moments to waver, and neither did it allow for life’s little roadblocks. Trying to plan out every hour can have an adverse effect on attempts to organize and maximize time.

It's Not About Them
I got up this morning with no intention to write. I had been sick over the past weekend and after staying in bed for two days, I finally decided to get up and shower. With all of this new found energy, I decided to do something that I have been wanting to do for a while now. I decided to write. I wrote an article a few months back but haven't had the itch to write since then that is until today.

How My Depression and Anxiety Helped Me Blossom
So I know it sounds crazy that both of these terrible things helped me become a stronger person but they did. I've had depression since I was a child because of something very bad and traumatic that was happening to me since before I could remember anything else. So I never really understood regular emotion or people. I did have a lot of compassion for someone who was naive and depressed as a child. I loved animals and even nursed some to health but never was a smiling normal child.

Me Time: Do We Have Time?
Our lives move so fast, it's similar to the USS Enterprise hitting warp speed. We are always rushing off to work, school, lunch, appointments, home, etc. Even when you get home, you think you can relax. Nope, you start to do more things like cook dinner, make sure the kids are doing their homework, cleaning, looking for important docs, etc. Before we know it, it's time for bed and you forgot to set our alarm. Do we really have me-time that is slow, calm, and quiet? I can't even drive to work without my phone going off with a phone call or even a calendar notification reminding me to do something. There goes my brain running in a thousand directions. There goes my stress level adding distractions while I'm driving and working. I just put everyone around me, including myself, in danger. Is it worth it? The important things we do everyday stress us out enough. Sometimes the *ding* from our phones or I-pads make us jump and our minds start thinking things like: great, why is my boss calling me again? or what does my mom want now? or even is he/she calling me back after five voice-mails?!
