The ‘Catechism of the Catholic Church’ paragraphs 1929 to 1933, refers to ‘Respect for the Human Person’. These paragraphs form part of Article 3 regarding ‘Social Justice’. I wonder what comes to your mind concerning respect for the human person? For sure we listen to a lot of debates and news items concerning the issue of respect for the human person. One can listen and read various ideas of what does it really mean regarding…
Rest and relax. I know, I know. Easier said than done but you have just got to do it. There is absolutely nothing in this world worth getting all worked up over. Do the work that you have got to get done but at the end of the day…stop! Don’t plan what to do. Just go with the flow. Don’t have your phone “taped to your hand” as my dad calls it. Shut it off…
A lot has been happening right in my country for the past few days, over the hours. Kids, adults, men, women… going into DEPRESSION and being SUICIDAL on the same account. An INTELLIGENT YOUTH taking his life after a FAILED EXAM, a HUSBAND who took his life and never would return home to his WIFE, a YOUNG, BEAUTIFUL lady getting herself poisoned after a BREAK-UP from someone she’s put her dear heart on… different other,…
You can be anything…but from time to time, don’t forget to just be. Time to reflect, relax and energize is the key to reaching all of your goals and to leading a healthy and happy life.
I saw a post on social media the other day that was a picture of a very fast car and a very big truck. The caption read, “I will not lose!”. And for the first time in my adult life, I kind of wrinkled my brow a bit when I read those words and saw the picture. And that surprised me… I have always been a competitive person, and at times overly competitive. I can…
As humans, we like to ponder things from time to time. One of the questions that I hear from many people my age and older is, “Would you go back and do something different if you had the chance to?” And while it can sound like an interesting proposition, most of the time, we don’t think about the ramifications of making a change in our past. The more I thought about this question, the more…
There is no secret recipe or magic process to finding happiness. And it is not realistic to think that life will always be perfect. But it is possible to create a life that offers you a great deal of happiness, moments of joy and a feeling of fulfillment. It is just about making the choice to do the small things that bring you to the life that you want to lead. Hold all that is…
We have all been told that when one door closes, another one is sure to open. But always found that to be less than helpful. I was intent on discovering that newly opened door and all that it held in store for me…immediately. What I have discovered is that I was missing two important pieces that would help me to understand this meaningful statement. First, I was missing patience. I wanted to see a big…
It’s your life… YOUR LIFE! No one else’s. You want to be someone, you want to do something or go somewhere. Then do it. Don’t seek advice. Just go do it. It’s your choice. Your life so… Go live it. See The Good would like to thank Amy for her guest post. Amy is a Florida resident and has been self-employed in the dog care field since 2006. She self-published a memoir titled “I Am…
We all have an image in our mind about who we are and what we look like. But often, that image is something that we have carried for many, many years. We look in the mirror each day but we never really see the person who is staring back at us. And that well-preserved self-image is not always just of our physical appearance.
