Anxiety Attacks Treatment
Here is your Sunday STORY on: THE LOVE OF WISDOM: We try with the greatest intentions to prevent sadness from getting a grip on our life, but sadly the force is just too big at times. Few realise the intensity of an emotion and how it drives our very soul. How often within the same day have you had a different view on the same subject? Within the last week I have had an incident that brought on a sadness I wasn't aware of specifically. I was selling a property and a few modifications had occurred, but sadly at the time the appropriate planning permission wasn't sought. Of course this decision to avoid planning permission has now come back to haunt the sale as building regulations have to be met. The property is extremely appealing, bar this one technical hitch. Of course to bring this property up to specification more expense and time needs to be allocated. Within the 24 hours following the realisation of this much needed work, I had become sad. Not all as a consequence of the expense and work, but with my original decision to forgo the planning consent to meet an occupational deadline. I was frustrated to the point of being grumpy and sour faced. Everyone was asking if I was okay, which incidentally as you may have experienced yourself is a further contributory frustration. I knew however that beyond those first 24 hours my sanity would return as I got to grips with what was required. It is noticeable therefore that under circumstances that makes one frustrated, is a cloud of poor decision making. Avoid making them during this gloomy period. Today's story is about a decision that was made under poor circumstances. But rather than be made to listen to serious facts a little example was presented that allowed an awakening. Sometimes it is a matter of time until the cloud of emotion is removed, another occasion may need a voice of authority. In this story's case it was the unspoken word that was the authority. UNSPOKEN SERMON A member of a certain church, who previously had been attending services regularly, suddenly stopped coming to church. After a few weeks, the Pastor decided to visit. The Pastor found the man at home alone, sitting before a blazing fire. Guessing the reason for his Pastor's visit, the man welcomed him, led him to a comfortable chair near the fireplace and waited. The pastor made himself at home but said nothing. In the grave silence, he contemplated the dance of the flames around the burning logs. After some minutes, the Pastor took the fire tongs, carefully picked up a brightly burning ember and placed it to one side of the hearth all alone. Then he sat back in his chair, still silent. The host watched all this in quiet contemplation. As the one lone ember's flame flickered and diminished, there was a momentary glow and then its fire was no more. Soon it was cold and lifeless. The Pastor glanced at his watch and realized it was time to leave; he slowly stood up, picked up the cold, dead ember and placed it back in the middle of the fire. Immediately it began to glow, once more with the light and warmth of the burning coals around it. As the Pastor reached the door to leave, his host said with a tear running down his cheek, "Thank you so much for your visit and especially for the fiery sermon, I shall be back in church next Sunday." We live in a world today which tries to say too much with too little. Consequently, few listen. Sometimes the best sermons are the ones left unspoken. Sometimes the best conversation between two people is when nothing is said at all. (Unknown Author) QUOTE: "You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.'

Smart people often talk trash about happiness, and worse than trash about books on happiness, and they have been doing so for centuries -- just as long as other people have been pursuing happiness and writing books about it. The fashion is to bemoan happiness studies and positive psychology as being the work not of the Devil (the Devil is kind of...Read more...
