Stronger
Okay, so today's blog entry is for the love junkies of the world, who have perhaps been emotionally hurt and ruined as a result of a previous relationship or marriage. Love is undoubtedly the most powerful emotion one can experience in life, with happiness a close second. A lot of the time, happiness comes part and parcel with love, but it's not a given, especially if one person isn't fully committed to that relationship. It's an unfortunate fact that many people fall victim to placing their happiness in the hands of love, and in a partner. They believe that it becomes their new found partner's responsibility to make them happy, when the reality of life is, that's not their responsibility at all. We are actually all individually responsible for our own happiness. That's where so many relationships are broken, because one of the, or both, partner's expectations are not met. They blame their partner for not making them happy, when the reality is, they are often not even applying themselves to the relationship themselves. When two people come together and live by the values of open communication, compromise, trust, faithfulness, honesty, understanding, and support, then happiness should become a natural part of a relationship anyway. It also helps to have some things in common, I must personally add, but it's not a necessity to make love work. My parents were proof of that! The problem is that too many people think along the lines of an individual, rather than as a couple. Whilst we need to pursue our own goals, and create our own happiness, it doesn't shirk our responsibilities to applying ourselves to our relationship either. That's where compromise, open communication, and support are paramount. We should be openly communicating with eachother about our goals, and the decisions and actions that are required for us to get there. We should then be compromising with eachother around how the decisions and actions of both parties are going to work, to ensure that neither party gets hurt. Above all though, we should be supporting one another, because the moment we cease doing that becomes the moment the relationship begins to fall apart. The best case scenario is that you both have a common goal that you are working towards, and are continually uplifting and encouraging one another on the journey.

Can You Fail Your Way To Success?
Some years ago, the idea that “failure is your friend” gained some traction after someone very much like me who had failed in the tech industry numerous times made it a popular mantra. A conference called “FailCon” was started and was a popular as a place for people who were actually quite successful to get together and brag (like all tech conferences are).

When You Have Lost All Hope Part 2
I had already secured a 2 bedroom apartment for us to move to about 2 weeks later. After moving with my daughter, and separating from my husband is where I thought everything would start to go better. I was completely wrong looking back now, this is the point where my life started to go down. I just didn't' see it being the one in the moment, living it.

Let Go Of What Is Hurting Your Heart And Soul
Like me, there are many people worldwide who reflect on their past with great fondness, courtesy of all the wonderful memories that were made from such good times. Such was the joy and happiness that our past offered us, we really wish we could time travel, just to go back and experience all the good times again, perhaps making the odd subtle change here and there. I'd love to go back and relive the days from the mid 1980's through until 2000, they were the good old days. There are also those who reflect on their past with an immense amount of hatred, disappointment, and disgust though. So bad were some of the experiences and circumstances they encountered, in which they faced an horrific amount of pain, suffering, and hurt, it has really destroyed them emotionally and mentally. They have perhaps lost complete trust in people, they have perhaps lost the capacity to love others, they have perhaps lost the will to find positivity in their life, or anything of similar sorts. Whether we have lived a wonderful or tragic past, the good news for both groups of individuals is that we all have a future ahead of us, and we are in complete control of shaping it the way in which we desire. I miss the past greatly, and I do wish I could bring my loved ones back from the grave, such as my Dad, my Mum, my grandparents, my cousin, and my aunties, and I wish I could relive those days, but I know that's not possible. Because those times were so enjoyable and memorable, it's easy to create the belief that the best times are indeed behind us, but how do we know that the best is actually still yet to come? It's exactly the same thought pattern as with the group of individuals who had a tragic past, as they easily adopt the belief that because life has always been so horrible and demoralizing to this point, that it will continue to be the same in the future. Again, how do they know that some amazing times aren't just around the corner for them? One thing is for sure, whatever we allow our minds to believe, we will more than likely manifest those beliefs into reality. If we believe life will continue to be crap for us, it probably will. If we believe that our best years are behind us, they probably are. What if we started believing that our greatest success, memories, happiest times, and triumphs are still ahead of us instead? If we changed our thought pattern, and truly believed these blessings can eventuate, it's funny how quickly our mood can improve from a simple thought and belief change!

Thinking Is Hard... But Worth it.
Thinking is hard. It requires more than just idle pondering. Concentration is paramount. Clarity indispensable. Purpose helpful, but not required. You don't need to know thyself to think, but the more you think, the more you will.

10 Anger Management Tips
Have you ever gotten so mad with someone? that you ended up doing something that you regret afterwards. I've done that so many times. I can't even count them when we lose our temper. We lose some control of our minds and bodies at that moment. That's just what anger can do to us. It takes over us and makes us say do things that we would usually never say or do because we're not fully thinking straight when we're mad. That is why we need to learn to manage anger right that way, was always in control of what we say and do and, there wouldn't be any regrets later on. So how do we go about managing our anger?

Honesty Of A Wood Cutter
Once upon a time, a woodcutter lived in a village with his wife and two children. He was a very poor man. He used to cut wood from the forest and sell it. The day he found dry wood, he would sell it and buy some food and drink, but with great difficulty his expenses would be met. The woodcutter's wife was very tired of her poverty and the next day they would fight among themselves. On the day when the woodcutter could not get dry wood from the forest, he had to go to bed hungry, including his wife and children.
