Most Commented Self-Improvement Blogs (526)

....not merely due to such dreadful Maine winter weather. And more than just having to put up with such a crazy US POTUS. ( Even though I applaud some of the promises he"s actually keeping, as some of us have blogged on here.) Actually working on dual citizenship, based on family ties here. Spoke the Azorean Portuguese dialect as a boy, growing up in an Island community near Boston, but it slowly disappeared over the years, being replaced by other tongues. But the passive vocabulary remains, so I'm learning, via Duo Lingo on line, and total immersion here. And my cousins who have been successful with this goal, tell me the bureaucratic Portuguese migration language exam is murder, even for such a one in a kind brilliant homem such as I---well, perhaps Trump is just a bit more intelligent. But I digress. Not for everyone, the life here, ---thin jacket winter climate, cobblestone streets, outdoor cafes, public organic markets, decent art and university scene, lovely people, simpler life style, deadly crazy drivers, adorable women, men much less attractive than me, white wine to die for (reds are just OK), great 5.0 beer, killer 420-for those unlike me, interesting flora and fauna for backpacking, incredible local food, and all at the lowest prices in western Europe. But don't take my word for it. VISIT some day---very affordable vacations, if done like the disturbingly cheap bastard that I am. Mr. Prenuptial Man-Vierk.

Inspiration for Taking charge of my life and age gracefully was given to me by a female blogger. She wrote :

“Instead of trying to find ways to cope with feeling old and alone, you have to figure out how to be happy where you are with what you have and create something new in your life - Whatever Your Circumstances. That is something everyone can do. It doesn’t take money, a life partner, or even health. If you’re unhappy with your life, try little steps to make it better. Life is hard for everyone, but we can’t allow ourselves to focus on the bad. You have to turn your thoughts to something positive. And there is always something positive. Start a ritual with a cup of coffee or tea or juice,” she says. “Clean yourself up, put on some music or your favorite morning show, pour your coffee, sit down and write down five good things about your life. Remember to include: clean water on demand, a roof over your head, living in a free country, and no wars or bombs outside your window. ”She thinks the best thing for folks who feel old and alone is to choose to focus on the good things in their life for five minutes. “Try it every morning for a week,” she says.

All above brought me to the point where I've decided to do something "nice" everyday, something small. I will also take note of 3 different things everyday that I can be grateful for in my life.

This story is about you dear reader, a story that should have been taught to all from the day you, as a child, understood your native tongue.
It is a story of the two spirits within You. Grey Wolf and White Tiger.
There is a third spirit, the third spirit you have heard about often in fact I am confident majority of the world knows of this Third Spirit. The Soul...

But very few understand the purpose or role of one's own soul. So I will make it basic, but know this, The Soul is a vast and complex spirit, and yet, it is governed by the two spirit animals, the Wolf and Tiger.

Now like any beginning the Wolf was once a pup and the Tiger once a cub. Both spirits were happy and at peace, loving even. Because you as a baby, most at least, acknowledged both. During the early stages of your life story you fed the Tiger, which in turn fed the Wolf. But here is the sad piece to this story, the world around you fed the wolf also. So there was a growing unbalance between the two spirits. Now the Tiger was the leader which is why we naturally fed the Tiger, because she is or was loving, wise, gentle and beyond intelligent. So she fed her enemy willingly the Wolf, now the wolf feared the Tiger to the very core of his being, but the love that emanated from The Spirit Tiger, was intoxicating that he embraced her as the leader, he could not fear with the life force of her love.


But...
What the tiger could not do is change the choices of the reader, You...
Over many years the Wolf grew stronger with vigour because he no longer needed the White Tiger to feed him. Because he had other wolves to fed him now, he also realised he was strong enough to fight for the right to be The Alpha of the pack. But still he could not fight her yet because she was still stronger than he, even without food she was an unstoppable force, so he waited...
and he waited...
and he waited...
12 Years go by the reader(you) has all but forgotten The Beautiful White Tiger because the ways of the Grey Wolf have been deeply embedded into you all. That the tiger within you is weakened beyond imagination, simply by choosing to ignore her. Now how the soul works it is but a bridge between both spirits and over 12 years you have chosen to travel from one side to the other, but choosing the tiger less and less. Simply the best way to describe the soul within yourself is on that same bridge there is you and the story and bridge are both the soul in one. You, as the reader of this story chooses between the Wolf and thee Tiger as the story unfolds but the bridge provides the choice of either spirit done by telling your lifestory. Now the wolf is 12 years strong, and as a right of passage challenges the tiger the right to be Alpha. Now the Tiger knows as well as the Wolf does that she is going to lose, but she will fight never the less. Because she loves both the wolf and you she fights to bring peace. She must because it is her nature, as leader, but she was never going to win . As weak as she was she fought fiercely and valiantly with strength that the wolf did not expect, her nature to save you dear reader was all that drove her. But the wolf was cunning and had you to fight her also. His true plan was hatched, because he knew she would not raise a single paw against you, and he ripped her body to the very edge of her existence. He knew IF he killed her he killed himself so kept her under heel by keeping the wounds constant and fresh never healing.

Her heart as not only the White Tiger but the leader and lover of both the wolf and reader was devastating beyond imagination.
And if you stare into a mirror long enough you will see the sadness in your eyes. Her sadness. I know for I also saw her sadness

But there is still a chance, how do I know? because you have read this far. It means She fights for you even now her gentle and loving nature still remains in tact and needs my help. As a lover of the White Tiger I will do what I can.

It's Complicated...
Why....
life is a paradox?
Life isn't as logical as we may think

While they may appear to be impossible, with time they are often proved right through experience. ... But the truth is, life is often illogical, paradoxical, and just downright strange. There are a lot of things in life that don't appear to make much sense on the surface.

famous saying goes “The greatest minds are always curious”, goes well on Nikola Tesla.

that everything is not as it seems on the surface.....
Like....you can’t really take anything or anyone at face-value .....
Man-made patterns are often used in design and can be abstract, such as those used in mathematics, science, and language. ... Patterns are important because they offer visual clues to an underlying order. If you can unlock a pattern, then you have the ability to alter or shape it in order to achieve some effect

If you only knew the magnificence of the 3, 6 and 9, then you would have the key to the universe..Nikola Tesla quote.
The number 3 serves as the only number that equals the sum of all preceding numbers (0 + 1 + 2 = 3). Also, when 3 is added to itself, the smallest perfect number ensues (6). And when 3 is squared, the result is the number that completes the single-digit numbers in the decimal system, better known as the number 9....
There are patterns that naturally occur in The Universe, patterns we’ve discovered in life, galaxies, star formations, evolution, and almost all natural systems,



The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly.

There is a child inside each one of us, our ego does not allow to come out, but comes out in front of the person we are most comfortable with.

Do you ever experience one of those times where you feel like people around you just wants to take advantage of you? that they only try to find you when they want something from you?
I dont like to make a big deal out of things anymore, i only react to things with a simple yes or a simple no, but i try keep it polite.
After all there are things in this life we can truly have by sharing them
I try to be reasonable with my own feelings, i think when we are being positive we are emotionally smarter and it kindda hurt less.
I think that, its nice to be nice
But it takes a lot of patience and also courage just to live a life nowadays,and that i know for sure.

its how Eminem would say it, dont feel the pain, just carry on , smile, rejoice.
Maybe he gone through shit to get where hes at right now.

From last week I have been reading a story about Rachel Doezal,
she identify herslef as a black-person. <only she white>

Long ago I had a friend who is a white Jamaican,I had never thought about him being white.

I have 2 dauthers they are half and half,they are at home on the Island and very much at home here.

So my question is. If Rachel Doeszal wants tobe a black person

why not let her be the person she identifys with ??

While undergo this life, sometimes what we dreaming of for our life are turning / not suitable with reality.

~ Once we have ever dream that our lifetime project will ended with compliment by our boss, but it failed and ended with a disappointment.
~Once we have ever dream to have a job and be settled on a well establish company, but.., it failed and ended with dismissal.
~ Once we have ever dream to have a harmony marriage, but .. it failed and ended with divorce.
~Once we have ever dream to re try and find another good man on dating site, but.,, it failed and ended with met some terrible scammers.
~ once we have ever dream to have a long and joyful life with our beloved family , but.., it failed and ended with loss.
~ Once we have ever dream to have a peaceful life around the world, but it failed and ended with war and death.

Like it or not those are some stages that once in a life time will be faced by all mankind.
Behind it , there are always a mystery that created by God to make us more clever, responsible, tough, strong and courageous mankind.

Wise spiritual words " Some day we'll be really, really grateful that God gave us what we needed instead of what we thought we wanted."


Happy Sunday for all bloggers and my old friends here...
