  • Do You Owe A Debt Of Thanks ?  By : Deanna Mascle
    Most of us have been fortunate to have not just one person but a whole team of teachers, coaches, and mentors who helped us grow and reach our potential. We should remember to thank those people again and again as we live the lives they helped us shape. Even more important we need to repay that debt -- not to those individuals but to society. How is your debt? Have you paid it yet or are you still pretending it doesn't exist?
  • Self Defense And Psychological Preparedness  By : Alexander Popov
    Being psychologically prepared is critical for self defense during an assault in the street. It is very important to be ready to repel the assailant (assailants) using all the means you have. Note that even being in not very good physical shape these means could be quite sufficient to disable your enemy (enemies).

    For example, if you wear hard sharp-toe shoes, then kicking your enemy in groin or shank with the toe of such shoe (even if there are no years of practice behin...
  • Why Do Bad Things Happen To Good People?  By : Deanna Mascle
    This is a question that most people grapple with from time to time and it has largely been on my mind this past week.
  • A Guide To Self Improvement Techniques.  By : Lavinia Snider
    An ordered life is one of the most assured methods of self-improvement. The saying “tidy desk - tidy mind” is also certainly true but only a small part of it. It is important that you order your life in such a manner that allows you to do everything you need to, when you need to do it. You should also be able to effectively ensure that you become happier and more content as well as progress with your career, make new friends and anything else you want in life.

    While work i...
  • Change  By : Kim Olver
    One thing in life is certain---change. Things never stay the same. If you are hoping for the status quo, then I’m afraid you will be disappointed. Just think back to how things were five years ago and you will realize that there is so very much that’s already different in a very short time.

    I’m sure there are some of you who know people who refused to adapt to the computer age. I still know some “old timers” who want to use word processors or even typewriters instead! Imag...
  • How To Deal With A Suicidal Person - A Five-Point Suicide Prevention Plan  By : Rene Graeber
    In helping a person deal with suicidal thoughts, it is best to combine the approach of treating the underlying mental disorder and treating suicidal tendencies directly.

    A five-point suicide prevention plan, dubbed SUPER, is presented below:

    1. Savoring love. The social support system of the person with suicidal thoughts must let the people concerned know about the emotional condition of that suicidal person. A suicidal individual may feel that he is alone amidst many ...
  • Do Dreams Serve as a Premonition?  By : Lanie Pambid
    Being able to foresee an unfortunate fact of life like death, disasters, illnesses, etc. through a dream is very common. Anyone may dream of something good or bad happening to someone else or even to themselves. Do dreams serve as a premonition?
  • Love Thy Neighbors, Get Them High!  By : Jim Thio
    Many libertarians believe that the sole purpose why we need government is for security.

    Two people will not agree with it. The unattractive, and the unproductive.

    Of course, those who cannot compete by giving better offer are not going to just admit it by saying so.

    Those who demand sex laws against consensual sex will not say, “I oppose free sex because no women want me and I want to ration females to inferior males such as I am.” It's not to their best interest to ...
  • The Hidden Costs Of Procrastination  By : Jason Anderson
    Be honest - are you one of those people who puts things off? It's ok - we all do it. It's human nature. "Why do something today when you can do it tomorrow," or so the saying goes. But procrastination (to give it it's "proper" name) can cost us more than we can imagine.

    Why do we procrastinate? In general, we procrastinate because the task we are putting off is unpleasant in some way. Either we don't like doing it (like calling a bank), or there is some physical discomfort...
  • How To Be Happy  By : Jim Thio
    What are the keys to happiness? What makes us happy?

    It's a tricky issue and everyone seems to have different opinions.

    Me, for example, thinking that becoming a porn star must be the best job ever. However, some will argue that it's such a bad job it can't possibly be consented and therefore has to be prohibited.

    I think marriage is a trap to mitigate disparity of sexual desirability. Many people are unhappily married. Again, some religious fundamentalists will argu...
  • Inside Out Empowerment  By : Kim Olver
    When we are thinking of making changes in our lives, all too often we look externally. We have a perfect picture in our heads about what life should look like then we go about acting on life to give us whatever it is we think would be perfect. The only problem with this approach is that we are giving away our personal power.

    Whenever we wait for certain things, people or conditions to be in place in order to be “happy,” what do we do in the meantime? I’ll be happy when my ...
  • Destiny: Can it be altered?  By : Lanie Pambid
    Everybody in this world has already encountered the word “destiny” and by all means it has been injected in people’s minds that it is beyond our control. Fortune tellers would say that your destiny can be seen through their crystal balls, palm reading, tarot cards and the like. But has it ever occurred to you that you make your own destiny?
  • Writing Exercise 3: This Could Get Dangerous  By : Jenny Harker
    Defining your fictional characters' voices is important. What is equally vital, though, is grasping your characters' humanity, the core of their fictional soul.

    A good way to learn how to do this is by observing an incident through another living person's eyes.

    For this exercise, choose your spouse, a relative, or your best friend to play the fictional character in a 500-word dramatic scene. Write using either third person or first person point of view.

    Traumatic si...
  • Challenging Life For Inner Peace  By : Codi Morieta
    By the time I finish writing this article I am going to need peace my self. Writing is a journey that sometimes like life is frustrating. The career of writing like life put demands, stress, and sweat from hard work on persons, while giving little in return. If you believe that last remark, let me tell you another one.

    Writers are gifted people and the rewards are there, but like everything else, they arrive at a slow pace. Inner peace is similar to writing; since you wor...
