Here is my definition of a easy going man vs a guy who faces life with all its challenges.
I think easy going is lazy/ignorant/ at facing issues and problems/ could be deceitful at times, lacking the maturity to face problems and find solutions, or not wanting to appear to be arrogant?

On the flip side: Mature man who had to face difficult and find solutions/military trained/ had a solid family rules structures. A person who does not quit on life.

What is your opinion?

Do you have a cool head in a crisis or do you panic. Can you handle a crisis or do you stand around not knowing what to do? Or even worse, do you break down?

A crisis is like any other event in your life. The more you are exposed to it, the better you can cope with it. If the same crisis occurs regularly, it becomes routine. It is the same as an inexperienced soldier going to war. He will forget his training, fear for his life and panic. The duration and the degree of panic will depend on the person.

That is why new recruits are sent to war with old hands to stabilize them. After a while he gets used to the carnage and he copes better. It is then said that he has seen the elephant. He is still scared but he can handle it.

There is no disgrace in being scared. It is a primal instinct to secure self-preservation. Any fear can be overcome if you are exposed to it often enough. The secret is to control the fear so you can effectively counter the threat.

My father often exposed us to a crisis deliberately. One such an instance I will never forget. We were to go camping when my sister was still a baby. I was about ten at the time. My father, my brothers and I were to leave three days before my mother would follow with my grandfather and family. We never camped in a park; always in the wild.

When we arrived there, we discovered that our food and water supplies that I so carefully helped to pack, were no longer in the car; only empty water containers. I suggested that we go back to fetch it but my father said that there was not enough fuel in the car and he forgot his wallet at home.

After some deliberation, he suggested that fresh water was the primary need as we could feed us from the sea and we all set off on the 4 km journey along the beach to get fresh water. Funny enough. there was a water container for each to bring back some water; all according to our abilities. At the fishing village my father ‘discovered’ enough change in his pocket to buy two loaves of bread.

Arriving back, my father caught some fish and took out a few crayfish while I had to harvest some black mussels. Then I ‘discovered’ some ground coffee and sugar under the car seat when he sent me to look for his ‘mislaid’ car keys and he produced a tin can and two plastic cups from the boot of the car. We ate like kings until the rest of the family arrived. Bread without butter never tasted better.

My father had a knack to turn a dead normal situation into a crisis. Granted, he did put some stress on us but in the process, he taught us how to cope in an ‘emergency’ and that there is a solution to every problem, no matter how monstrous it appears.


And have a great day out there. Wednesday is small Saturday!

Gandhiji said.....

the only way to end the hatred and war is through peace and love. For that reason, Gandhi is a true hero to all because of his bravery and what he did for India's independence.

“An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind.”


“An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it.Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self sustained.”


“Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed.”


“The greatness of humanity is not in being human, but in being humane.”

Rent is expensive. Moving to a new apartment is expensive. Moving to a whole new State across the country is very expensive; we're talking quadruple-digits (if you have found a way to circumvent this, you have my respect). So, I'll stay in Washington State just one more year (which is what I said last time). After that, I plan to move somewhere that isn't turning into California.

Anyone else having to put off plans of moving? Or, if you have moved, are you happy/better off in your new location?

Sometimes there is no substitute for a cold dose of reality.

Beauty and Colours Always
Attract the Eyes.

Only A Simple Smile will
Catch The Attention of the
HEART

So Always Carry A Smile
On your Face.

I did it. I distanced myself from the constant drama. The personal attacks, designed to cause trouble. It was the best thing I ever did. It cost me some friendships, I knew it would, but for the sake of my own health, I did it afterwards much lamenting , but being in their company was like walking on egg shells. I just can't do it anymore . I limit my time in their company, and avoid conversation. I share nothing with them, it took me years to finally give up, I tried and tried, not any more. Best thing I did. Amazing how the stress level dropped, and I feel no loss for that particular person.

"WHAT IS RICHNESS?"

There are 2 types of richness in the world..........one of money and another of thoughts. Everyone knows about richness in Money; but what about richness in thoughts, words and deeds?
Richness in thoughts is about spirituality, about goodness, about order, about joy and happiness. How to do this without having Money in your bank?
Well, my friends, you can train your mind to help you. First you have to take into consideration about your attitude to Richness. This can be achieved in Thought, Word and Deed. Think very deeply about your general attitude.

A THOUGHT is like a bomb or like Nature. It can destroy or it can create. Train your mind to be creative like Nature. Think of Goodness all the time........like inventions benefitting everyone alive on this planet. Once your mind works in this direction, then there is no stopping of your good thoughts continously, that will be creative in nature. Your mind will compel you to think that you are now Rich....... not in money, but in some other way.

What is a WORD? A word is a group of alphabates in any language having some meaning; it may be any language of the people. There are good words as well as bad words in the world. Words like love, joy, handsome, beautiful are good words; whereas words like idiot, scoundrel, robber, selfish are bad words. People will judge you by the words that come out of your lips. Hence, train yourself to always use good words. If you can train your mind to use good words, you will feel immensely Rich within yourself.

And, finaly a DEED! A deed is an action resulting from your thought. So, a DEED is connected with your THOUGHT. But there is a magic formula for a DEED. What is that?
A decision that everyday you do one good DEED a day. You may wonder and laugh at me for making such a statement. Good DEEDS are many; but very few people implement them. The most powerful word in the world is the word ALLOW. You may get amused if I say this.........But ALLOW has a lot of power! If you ALLOW anything, that 'ANYTHING' ALLOWS you. This is the law of physics; Action & Reaction are equal in value, but opposite in direction. But there is a one catch here; it will only work for those people who ALLOW without any condition of compensation coming to them! You can do good DEEDS by ALLOWING the people their first rights to life.For instance, if an old blind person wants to cross the road, be the first to rush to his help; this will be your good DEED for the day.

If you are standing in a train or a bus, offer seat to a person in need; this will be your another good DEED. In this way, go on collecting good DEEDS for the day. I am sure that at the end of the day, you will feel immensely Rich. So, Money is not necessarily needed to feel Rich, there is another way to Richness too.
