How Can Empathy Shape Your Values? by Brian Maloney One of the most underrated concepts that most people overlook is approaching life from an empathetic standpoint. Despite our best intentions, it is not always that we live by this ethical code that is deeply embedded in all of us. Much of my writings are geared to logical approaches to a an overwhelming world and this is definitely no exception. I don’t want to underestimate the importance of this concept because I feel it is so extremely powerful. It is quite intriguing to me that this world ... Body Jewelry: An Unusual Way Of Enhancing The Beauty Of Your Own Body by Angela Davis Since ancient times body jewelry has been a part of the culture and heritage of different religions. It has been known to be an essential part of the clothing and appearance of the people in many regions of the world. At different parts of time through the centuries it was also used to signify the class demarcations prevalent in society at that point of time. How ever in recent times it has acquired a new dimension. Body jewelry has never been in such high demand. The human body is not merely a ... Leadership Like Water-Water Canoeing by Brent Filson Although world business is undergoing historic changes, the prevailing view of what constitutes business leadership is stuck in the past. Generally, business leaders view leadership as an order-giving process. The word leadership itself comes from old Norse root meaning to make go. Many leaders believe that they must make people go by ordering them to do things. But today's new business realities are requiring new kinds of leadership, leadership that has very little to do with order giving. Org ... How A Phony Persona Always Hurts You by Brian Maloney ‘Be yourself’, isn’t that what you’ve always heard?

Looking For Love In All The Wrong Places by Geela Quote of the day: 'All that you seek you already have within you.' Practically every year finding love is at the top of Americans’ list of resolutions for the New Year. That’s the good news. The bad news is that most Americans are looking for love in all the wrong places. The way I see it, the definition of love should not be limited to romantic love alone. Love is more than a sentiment. Love is a way of being. The broader definition of love should also be a longing for experiencing a life of f ... Commit To Applying Lessons Learned by Brian Maloney When growing up as a child, the concept of learning a lesson becomes so routine, that many of us just set it aside as unimportant like many other principles that otherwise should be heeded. It is so true that all of us are mortal. Furthermore, all of us are fallible and no one is absolutely perfect. However, there are some people who would argue this about themselves or someone they know. My contention is the people who perpetually make many crucial mistakes in their lives and continue to make ... How Much Time Do You Invest in Relationship Maintenance? by Brian Maloney When starting a new relationship, we usually adopt a subconscious idea as to how much maintenance this connection will need. Usually, if given some thought, we can throw a microscope over this concept while it is in its fledgling state. However, time, no matter how you cut it, is a commodity and is as precious as a trillion dollars in your hot little hands. We attempt to save it, cut it, splice it among several tasks, take it for granted, and waste it. Although, most of us never consciously con ... How Much Dysfunction Should You Allow Into Your Life? by Brian Maloney What exactly is dysfunction? It is a word society, although probably overused, labels most anything and everything. However, its true attribute can be characterized as a negative that is mostly hurtful and counterproductive. A parent who consistently talks down to their children in the attempts of suppressing their self esteem would be a perfect citing of dysfunction. It is quite obvious that none of us can escape dysfunction. Television and media cater to an extremely dysfunctional character ...

Networking in my Job Search Isn't Working! by Marilyn J. Tellez, M.A. I will start my discussion with, you reader, about what networking is and is not. It is about yourself and others.

Addiction to Self-Judgment by Margaret Paul, Ph.D. “I’m such a jerk. How could I have said that?” “I’m a looser. I’ll never get anywhere.” “I’m so stupid. I should have learned this by now.” “I don’t fit in. I don’t belong with these people.” “I’ll never be good enough. I’ll never do it right enough.” “I’m permanently emotionally damaged. I’ll never be okay.” “No one could love me. I’m not lovable.” …and so on and so on. Are you aware of your self-judgments? Are you aware of how often you judge yourself as bad, wrong, or inadequate?

Stories can add insight into the meanings of our lives as well as being mediums for the transferal of wisdom and knowledge. A story that interests me is the story of us: the children of a star, a star we call the Sun. Oh sure there are many texts out there that explain who and what we are. Some are religious, others deemed to be scientific. I have always found most of these stories to be a little too complex when explaining the reality of our existence ... Quit my Job! Are You Kidding? by Marilyn J. Tellez, M.A. Yes, I said to quit your job. In spite of your mis-givings, here is what to do. 1.

If you don't know what to do, make a plan anyway! Get busy to decide whichtransferable skills you want to use in your next job. 3. Get happy! You want to do this, don't you? Use lots of that extra energy to have fun ... How Much Risk Is Too Much To Take? by Dave Carlson The ladder was braced against the railings going to the basement. I started climbing up. I had to get to the ceiling and this was my Rube Goldberg way of doing it without having to put up scaffolding. I made it up two or three rungs before coming to my senses. It would be so easy for the railing to break and for me to go tumbling down the stairs. You see I was trying to paint my living room with a cathedral ceiling. I had to get up near the apex at 12 feet. The problem was that there were stair ...

Tsunamis in the Bible? by Thomas Yoon I have always wondered how the Red Sea parted as described in the Exodus story of Moses.
