An Outlook on Stress

Stressfree

You should know that I am a relatively stress-free individual. Not in the sense that nothing in life stresses me out, or that I do not find myself smack in the middle of stressful situations, but rather I tend to deal with it calmly. Anger, frustration and confusion all come out to play, but for the most part, I still sleep peacefully at night.

I believe, as I have mostly, that all I need to do, is the best that I can do. At any given time. Whenever I am doing that, things are at their peak. Even when things do not work out the way I would have wished them to be, or hoped they would turn out, I am happy. Because at least… I tried. However, when I do not give it my best, even when I give it my worst, I confidently, albeit regrettably, deal with the consequences. I take responsibility for my own lack of effort without justification. I do seek understanding of course, after all, this is how one learns, but no need to point the finger and try to escape blame in order for things to be OK.

Thoughtful Email #17 – Revisiting Old Thoughts

Marriage Setup

A while back I wrote 2 thoughtful emails on Relationships and The Happily Ever After. Seeing how life has a habit of putting us through a varied array of experiences which constantly make us reassess our philosophy in life, I found it to be appropriate for me to do so at the moment. If you haven’t read the first 2 thoughts, I would suggest you do so now, but knowing how sometimes, reading long articles can be a hassle, here’s the gist of things in a nutshell:

I believed, and still do, that relationships should just happen… that a relationship, in its very essence, is about 2 individuals leading their lives in parallel to one another. Like walking on the same path side by side. Also, the Happily Ever After, I believe to be a myth. The social construct of what relationships are, should be destroyed and rebuilt to fit the times and the way that people have become, NOW. While for some it seemed that I was opposing relationships, it was merely an attempt on my part to establish a crucial part of my outlook on life. “You should always find a new way of looking at things, until they appear the way you need them to be”. Changing perspectives is crucial. Case in point, here I am, changing perspectives.

Disclaimer: Some of you might find this post a bit long, I kept it as short as I could. Thanks for reading and don’t forget to share ;)

For those of you who don’t know, I love exploring nature, and am very glad to be in a country that provides an easy access to some of the most diverse and beautiful nature around. I love hiking and camping, although I would not be considered hardcore.

Come OUT… Come OUT… Whoever you are!

In a time of advancement and endless possibilities, I find it strange that the faith filled majority, still tries to oppress those of us who do not wish to be religious.

Though this phenomenon is more widespread in certain areas than in others, it was a breath of fresh air to stumble upon Richard Dawkins’ OUT campaign. A call to all atheists to come out, and not be ashamed of who you are. What I love about it is that it does not try to actively out atheists… but rather hopes to build a community of like minded individuals, to support each other. A community that could become a family… a family that we like to call the human race.

Happily ever after… is so once upon a time

We all know the stories, don’t we?

The damsel in distress, whatever this distress may be, who is longing for a prince charming to come and rescue her. The prince, ever so charming and dashing, with a heart full of courage and nobility, starts off on a quest to seek, find and rescue his princess.

After a lot of hardship, they find each other, overcome a final obstacle, and then… well… they live happily ever after.

“I Matter” because…

iMatter

It was all confusing at the end. I stood there speechless, unable to find the proper words… it was pure luck that I remembered to breathe.

I tried to make sense of it all, and while it made perfect sense (for it was as it should have been), I could only wonder how this has never been done before. Not like this. Not in this way.

The previous lines, I hope, explain exactly how I felt after watching a dear friend and her group of wonderful dancers perform a little “experiment” called “I Matter”. But first, a little secret:

Thoughtful Email #15 – What’s A Mother?

Mother

What is it about mothers that makes them so special?

Is it their food? the way they know how to cook things just right? or maybe it is the way they smile when they see you… it’s different, more genuine… but is that it? what about the knowledge that they will love you no matter what? no matter what you say, or do… they can’t seem to be capable of Not loving you… I can’t figure it out. Not for lack of trying though…

I think back at my life, and focus on just one person… my mother. She has her uniqueness, her own little quirks that make her who she is, as a person, a friend, a mother. What are they? well, only the blessed few know… but that is not what I wanted to share with you.

relationships

Early on in our lives, boys have something of a dislike to girls, we don’t like them, we don’t want to play with them, and simply put we don’t want them around us. However, at one point in our lives, around those teen years, we discover what i will refer to as “genital motion”. in other words, erections. Yes, it is that time when we look with wonder at our genitals as they suddenly stand proudly from between our legs, offering up a strange feeling. Eventually, we understand this is caused by looking at young women. Now some, might keep a certain dislike for women, while others quickly embrace the phenomenon and start looking forward to spending more and more time with girls. That is called, sexual curiosity.

From then on, life changes permanently. We (males) can’t stop thinking about women, we like them, we want to play with them, and simply put we want them around us. Again, this applies to most people. Thus does the miracle of relationships begin. I say miracle, for there truly is nothing stranger and more confusing than wanting to be with one another.

Book Review – “Whatever You Think, Think The Opposite” by Paul Arden

Paul Arden Whatever you think, Think the Opposite

The initial thought i got, when i saw the book on display was: not another one!! although i must admit, the title was catchy, and the page i opened was interesting. so why did i not buy it? probably because of the many self-help and inspirational books out there, that are just plain silly. i did however, buy it eventually. hence the review.

the book is a 10 minute read (considering many people’s average reading speed), it contains many photos for those of you who are verbose intolerant, and enough words to satisfy those of you who consider themselves thirsty for knowledge. DO NOT LET THAT FOOL YOU. just because it is a 10-min thing, does not mean it lacks the depth and insight you would expect from such books. it actually has more power than most other books i have read in a long time.
