Breathe in…That’s right. Breathe. Ok. Someone or something has made you angry. You are about to burst. Just breathe. I know, I know. You are very upset but just trust me. Breathe in. That’s it. Breathe. Now breathe out. All the way. There now. Feel better? Good. Because nothing is worth getting worked up over. See The Good would like to thank Amy for her guest post. Amy is a Florida resident and has…
WE DON’T HAVE THE RIGHT to call/insult anyone as miserable/poor/broke… and leave them on that same spot. What have we actually done to alleviate their miseries? Other than constantly remind them how miserable their lives are? Maybe we think we have the right to insult them (just maybe), but WE DON’T HAVE THE RIGHT to insult and not proffer solution(s) to aid their miseries. What are we doing to better their lives? Other than…
Sometimes attaining success is as simple as opening your mind and your eyes to what is right in front of you. As adults, we all know that we don’t always get what we want. And in some cases, we don’t get anything that we thought we wanted. But every time you put in the effort, there are good things that come back to you. And you need to take a look at those things to…
As a writer, I have always believed that it is words and not opposable thumbs that really set humans apart from the rest of the animal kingdom. Our thumbs allow us the benefit of using tools, but in recent years it has been proven that other species also have mastered that task as well. Sea Otters skillfully select the rock that will be used much like our can opener when they decide to dine alfresco…
Over the past few months, I have been the benefactor of a couple of very unique learning experiences. And these lessons have been very enlightening as I have been searching the universe for answers, understanding, and insight. But it took me some time to realize that many of my questions were being answered even though I did not yet understand the answer or even realize that the answer had been presented. I am famous for…
Many people search for real happiness and peace in their lives. There are people that managed to find this real happiness and peace. Where can one find this happiness and peace? Is it possible to have such happiness and peace? Happiness and peace is only possible through Him. This real happiness and peace is found through Jesus, the Saviour. This is my experience of life, as He made a difference, and brought happiness and peace to my life. The world…
Avenge! Avenge!! Avenge!!! These are the banging voices that sound repeatedly in our mind whenever we’re offended by people or at the moment we discover we are being jilted by them. Willing to take on VENGEANCE as the first step of action against any person found wanting seems to be the default settings for each of us. But, does taking a step at being vengeful really make us even, soothes/pacify us, brings peace… just as…
First of all, I want to wish all dads a Happy Father’s Day. As for mine, I couldn’t have asked for a better father. Dad is one of those tall men who you would think would be intimidating but he’s just the opposite. Dad is actually very friendly but yet he’s quiet. He has a calm voice and really doesn’t yell that much. As I mentioned in a previous blog, I have learning disabilities. …
Recently, I have seen several articles about the benefits of traveling directly to your goal rather than taking the longer meandering path. And for some people, that straight line is the best path. Clearly, the straight line is the shorter journey, but not all of us are cut out for the short journey. I know that in my case, I was a slow learner. It took me several decades of working hard before I gained…
Very seldom are we gifted with a truly extraordinary person in our lives. I mean a person who completely changes who you are, and what you strive to become…forever. These once in a lifetime opportunities are so rare that some people will never have the experience. But when you do, clearly, it is a wake-up call from on high, to step it up and live up to your potential. A nearly perfect example has been…
