How to Fail at Habits
by Leo
24 Apr 2012 at 11:28am
Post written by Leo Babauta. Before I learned how to change habits, I was stuck.

‘A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.’ ~Lao Tzu Post written by Leo Babauta. There is something about my mind, and many people’s minds, that is overly optimistic. We think we can do so much each day, and so we overplan. We fill our plans with so much, confident [...]

Anger Training

Here is your Monday STORY on: LOVE: In love you always give and don't demand in return. By giving, you allow things to happen. When people love someone, they forget that real love means no demands from the beloved. When dedicating yourself to a God, the Self, the Absolute, the Saviour - call it what you will, the most important part is the heart, and that is very simple. If that is properly achieved in its simplicity, all the rest should not bother one, because nothing else is very important. One can see this from many examples that this is so, but here is one: IT WAS ASKED FROM THE HEART 'There was a great elephant who was proud of his size and strength, but when he went for a bathe he was caught by a crocodile in mid-stream and dragged out of his depth into the deep water. He was helpless and couldn't do anything. But; just when he was about to be drowned he happened to catch with his trunk a lotus flower floating on the river, and offering that flower to the Absolute, to his God, he begged Him to save his life. So pure was his offering that God came running from his throne. One might wonder how one could dislodge the Absolute, the God and cause him to come barefoot from his throne by just a little flower! But it was not the flower, it was the spirit behind the flower - it was the heart which prayed.' (Excerpt from the book 'Good Company.') QUOTE: "Don't spend your precious time asking, 'Why isn't this world a better place?' It will only be time wasted. The question to ask is, 'How can I make it better?' To that there is an answer.' (Leo F Buscaglia, Author in 'The Way of the Bull'). [[ct]]: Anger Training

I have a lot of trouble dealing with my anger?
It doesn't happen very often but when it does I EXPLODE. I haven't been violent in a long time but I say terrible things and I worry others into thinking I might hurt them. My sister has been inadvertently driving me up the wall today and when I finally tried to talk to her it ended in a huge swearing fight. I took anger-training as a kid but IDK how much it helped. I'm already on anxiety meds, IDK if they'd put me on Anger meds too. I feel terrible for what I said and wish I had handled it better, but she just wouldn't get off my back. I've been really tense because I just finished my first week of work and today was the only day I had to relax and she kept harassing me over and over... I can spend 5 hours at the libary tomorrow but I don't know how else to distance myself.
