See you on the other side - switching off at sunset
Sundown March 9 to sundown March 10 is the national day of switching off the internet and reconnecting with real life. Wonder how quiet it will get on CS? I won't sneak in to peek.
Well, I hope I won't
"The idea behind the day was to challenge people to keep their electronic devices unplugged and unused for 24 hours in order to give themselves the chance to take a break and spend time relaxing with family, friends, or alone."
Read books, meet a friend to blether in real life, go for walks, and of course work on the house, lots (LOTS) to do. I don't spend much time on the internet during the day, tend to spend too much time at night. But I can do this. Good idea.
If you do it, what will you do with the time you are getting back for yourself? Could you even do it? Very few people I know could. Not entirely sure myself that I can, good grief, 24 hours, of COURSE I can.

My Sweet Sunshine
It will be good if everybody have 1 night with your type like a dream.
Now my dreams go to abroad!
The true is real is life you are what you do can not be changed.

Jealousy - what is it good for?
Even animals get jealous - for attention, or competing for the same thing - and Nature doesn't build in pointless emotions, so what is jealousy good for?
Anger gives us the strength and adrenalin rush to fight
Fear lends us wings to run away
Happiness rebuilds our strength to live another day
Love inspires us to build towards a future
etc
Jealousy seems such a destructive emotion but is it? I'm including things like
Envy of the achievements of others
Jealousy when a loved one seems to be making a connection with another and we feel threatened
Resentment when someone else is being praised
Benefits?

Reflections Of My life
I have done a lot of thinking of late. Thinking about what might have been, what could have been, what has been and what has not been. For some things there is still time while for others, I fear, it is too late. Mercifully those are few. I have done most of what I wanted to do. Yes, I had my ups and my downs but the average line was always above the line.
Regrets there are only a few too. There are a few things that I should have done differently, but I’m happy with my life as it is.
Maybe it is because I never had any unrealistic dreams. I was often accused of having no ambition and that I don’t fulfill my potential but I’d rather build on what I am than to chase unreachable goals. I was blessed with so many talents. Some said I must become a writer and other said I must become an artist. My parents wanted me to become a preacher. Everybody had different plans for me. I disappointed them all and I’m not apologizing for that. I did what I wanted to do.
I have always been the champion of the underdog. Somebody once said it is because I’m a loser. Yet I never felt like a loser. I’d rather help the loser back to his feet before I cheer the winner. There is no disgrace in losing. I’d rather lose fairly than win by cheating. Such would be a hollow victory. You cannot bullshit yourself. If somebody defeats me by cheating I feel great because that is an admission by him that I’m better, stronger or smarter than him. Why else would he cheat?
More than all, I’m at peace with myself and I bear no grudges. I may retaliate when somebody does me wrong but I forget about it as soon as now. I cut my losses and get on with my life. I don’t hate anybody or anything; hate consumes you until you are just an empty shell. If somebody wants to hate me, it is his unhappiness. It cannot interfere with mine.
Yes, there are still a few things I still plan to do. And I’ll do it for they are all reachable. I’m not going to start chasing the end of the rainbow now. Achieving a goal has always been an anticlimax to me. The process of getting there is what brings me satisfaction.
May this be a joyful day to you all.

We all have to survive/tools.
Okay. We all have to survive in this world. It would be a little better if you can thrive so as we can create comfort for ourselves down the road. In this ever changing technological world, I cannot help to think about what tools would be essential for creating comfort.
The first tool that comes to mind is knowledge. I think an obsession with knowledge is just as bad as not having any knowledge. There has to be a balance. In my opinion, the balance is created with knowledge and real life experiences.
The next tool that comes to mind is a network of friends. I was once told, it is not what you know...but who you know. I think in order to become part of a network, you need to have something to contribute within that network. With that said, that saying I heard is partially true. It helps to know something as to not become a sponge to that network...but to also contribute and become one of its assets.
The third tool that comes to mind is reputation. It is difficult to thrive in society if you have a bad reputation. Especially with social media, it is easy for your reputation to get spotted. Treat people with respect is important.
The forth tool that comes to mind...actually has to do with the mind. A healthy and happy mindset allows you to perceive reality clearer and have the motivation to achieve comfort. Not to mention, the capacity to better understand (coupled with knowledge).
The fifth tool I can think of is the ability to manage your finances effectively. It don't matter what sort of money you make, if you spend it as it comes in your wallet....it will be difficult to create comfort down the road.
The sixth tool....the ability to discern friends and lover(s). This comes with some knowledge and some experience. I have always said, allowing the wrong person in your life can create a hell on earth for yourself. However, it is said that humans are social creatures and yearn for companionship. So be careful, but yet...allow people in your life.
Are there any other tools you believe have helped you in life that you would encourage somebody who is entering this world to use?
Happy Sunday to you all.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT: Improve your life
The first thing you need to do if you want to progress in life is to know what your purpose is.
You will find your purpose in the date of birth.
example:
Any one born today: 11 dec 2017 has the following purpose.
we will count all numbers together in the following way: day + month + (19)+(2 last digits)
11 + 12 + (20) + (17)
11 + 3 + 1 = 15 = 1+5 = 6
The calculation of this is called the life path number. a life path number 6 means, a purpose of the life regarding family and friends. Anyone born on this day will need to develop strong relationships with others.
In my next pose i will describe all life path numbers.
A life path 1, will need independency. You will not get any support from others in this life, otherwise you can not progress as a soul. Stop expecting from others. They are doing a great job not helping you.
A life path 2, will learn to cooperate with others. Is very emotional. Will frequently have legal issues.
A life path 3, need to be optimistic, need to inspire others. Thew will miss focus.
A life path 4, will love order and structure in life.The are the pillars of society.
A life path 5, will love freedom. They are born to use their time wisely.
A life path 6, will love family and friends. They are people magnets, because they will need to learn to communicate on a deeper level with others.
A life path 7, are the seekers and investigators of the universe. They don't like people.
A life path 8, will love success and career. They will have a lot of set backs in their life. Without balance this person will not progress.
A life path 9, this life is a test. A test to demonstrate love.
You have 3 numbers that are life path numbers to and may not be reduced to a single digit.
A life path 11, will need to use their intuition frequenter.
A life path 22, will be able to accomplish big project, but will need to do this with others.
Finally, a life path 33, possess spiritual knowledge. Can be a spiritual leader. They don't have personal ambition.
You will find your purpose in the date of birth.
