There isn't a path or formula to follow!

 Here's another myth perpetuated by the general public: there isn't a set formula for a successful and happy life.   What works for someone else might not work for you, and there isn't an obstacle that you can't find away around or over or under.  Sometimes the most beautiful and important life moments start out as unexpected obstacles.  So while it's certainly important to plan and dream...  it's also important to be flexible an resilient.  Take this story as an example: The Obstacle in Our Path In ancient times, a king had a boulder placed on the roadway.  Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock.  Some of the king's wealthiest merchants came by and simply walked around it.  Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none of them tried to move the big stone out of the way.  Then a peasant farmer came along carrying a load of vegetables.  On approaching the boulder, the ...

How To Find Inner Peace In Everyday Life

  How to Find Your Inner Peace and Happiness Like many other concepts, there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to finding inner peace. However, all of the points provided here would prove effective in your journey to finding it. Use these steps to find inner peace: 1. Declutter Your “Room” As mentioned earlier, your mind can be likened to a room. When that room is occupied with thoughts of “what if” and “how not” plus work issues and family matters, there is no way you’d have enough space to do other things. This would take lots of practice and patience with oneself because you can’t just tell yourself, “Hey, stop thinking” and boom! You just stop. You have to consciously remind yourself to not overthink things and only take what you can handle. Even the bravest people break down, so take some time to clear your mind of unimportant matters. You need that space. 2. Take Responsibility for Your Actions It takes a whole level of maturity to take responsibility for your actions, es...

Make a "QUOTE" Challenge

As a man it is my wish to positively impact someone's life by certain words or a quote of wisdom that maybe I was known for saying often.  Something to impact a persons thoughts and inspires a healthy habit in their lives each time they think of it.  An example would be something my Uncle told me as I was preparing to go into the Army many years ago. He said: "In the windstorm do not be like a oak tree branch and crack....be like a blade of grass and bend! "  I have never forgot those words.  When life gets stressful we sometimes crack.  Instead... like the blade of grass.... let us bend and bounce back up even though its windy. I am challenging you all.  Kids & Parents to create or write down your favorite quote that you enjoy.  Please share your quote on as a comment on the blog!  Lets see what beautiful wisdom we can be blessed with!  Here is one I created about a year or two ago.  It helps me to work on myself daily and fo...
