341) How To Break Free From the Addiction to Possessiveness and Control
Author:

Self Improvement
When life presents many challenges the desire to control can seem natural. There is the illusion that if we control events, ourselves and others, we will be safe, successful and secure. Unfortunately, the opposite is true. The tighter we grip, hold on and manipulate, the more out of control we become.Especially in relationships, where people feel vulnerable, where emotions are high and a great deal is at stake, the wish to control arises. At first this may appear as possessiveness, wa...

Imagine your brain as a powerful networked computer system capable of processing vast amounts of information simultaneously; "tetrabytes" of it. It completes functions as designed and works very reliably over extended time periods and under the most trying of conditions... that is until there is a sudden mysterious malfunction and it "locks up" on you like any other computer system invariably does. Perhaps it's due to overload or misuse, but certainly preventable.I have the odd "lock...

348) The Art of Change ~ Resistance Is Futile!
Author:
Camille Olivia Strate
Category:
Self Improvement
Why in the world do we resist change so hard? Why is it that the moment we're faced with change we get so pessimistic? Why do we think that change will always equal disaster? It's such an odd thing to me that we do this (and believe me, I'm just as guilty sometimes!). When faced with any kind of change, whether it be a new landlord or a new job or the first wrinkle on your face, we go into a tizzy and start hyper-ventilating like we're about to be strung up on a rack. It's so....silly?

Category:
Self Improvement
We see it all too often these days. People doing absurdly high levels of activity in their striving to either simply keep up with life or, in their pursuit of achievement, i.e. ambition. It's being driven; up to and beyond our capability and capacity. It's not always a personal choice-some are merely employed and have to operate this way due to poorly structured work systems-and even when it is personal choice, many are not even aware of the potential damage the chaotic life brings to one's...

351) The Cause of Suffering
Author:
Gina Lake
Category:
Self Improvement
The egoic mind is the cause of suffering. Nothing more. Suffering only happens in response to a thought. We suffer because we think something about what is happening, what happened, or what might happen. We create a story about what is, what was, or what will be; then we suffer over it. We particularly suffer over fears, which are negative ideas about the future, although any idea can cause suffering if it is believed.Even positive ideas can cause suffering. Something as simple as, "I...

A few years ago I was very infatuated with motorcycles. My best friend and neighbor who was the same age as me, was also a rider. We enjoyed hitting the trails in sun and sand or rain and mud.We often rode our bikes to work and hit the trail on the way home. Sometimes we would not find home until well after the sun went down. It was the thrill of the ride, the speed, the jumps, the slips and slides and of course, even the spills and tumbles.As young riders we would loose oursel...

Growing and changing is a natural part of our human development. We know this. When we're thinking about what's next for us, though, we tend to look back at our history to see what the next logical step is. But we may have dreams and passions we want to pursue that are not a linear outcome of what we've done before, so they don't feel doable. What do we do then?Instead of creating our future out of our past, we can look at who we want to become. Usually, when we're looking toward our...

When my aged mother walks unaided through the halls of her care facility, she bends her body into a 'C' shape, puts her head down, and runs (well as fast as an 86-year-old can run). This is the way she has always gotten through life.I must admit that my approach has been somewhat the same through much of my life (I guess she taught me well). This got me to thinking...are we spending our days the way we really want to or are we driven much of the time?New research shows that we...
