Editor’s note: This is a guest post from Chris Guillebeau of ChrisGuillebeau.com. Imagine a life where all your time is spent on the things you want to do.

‘He who is contented is rich.’ ~Lao Tzu Post written by Leo Babauta.

Post written by Leo Babauta. Today (April 30) is my 39th Un-un-birthday, and as usual, the day is a good day to pause and reflect.

This year, I thought I’d share an additional lesson [...] 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. I kept trying to change various habits — running, eating healthier, waking earlier, getting out of debt, ending procrastination — and I kept failing. I got very good at failing, in fact. Looking back on those days, given the power [...] Webinar: How I Used the Power of Bad Habits to Change My Life by Leo 23 Apr 2012 at 8:00am

Here is your Saturday STORY on:
SOLVING PROBLEMS:
If you have a problem, what do you do and where do you go?
Firstly we must be aware that being choked by a problem will only make you want to kick and scream. The resultant decision would be a forced one under duress.
Ideally you would want to take time, care and attention over every decision. To do this with a good degree of success we must be within a calm state of mind. If we are confronted with a problem and a state of anguish and frustration arose we must first spot the condition and then resist it from affecting any decision we make.
More often than not we forget to be grateful for the other things in life that we have.
Today's story illustrates how an illness can suddenly make you see life clearly; and sadly for the lady who wrote this, too clear too late.
IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER
(written after discovery of terminal cancer)
I would have talked less and listened more. I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained and the sofa faded.
I would have eaten the popcorn in the "GOOD" living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.
I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.
I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.
I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.
I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains.
I would have cried and laughed less while watching television and more while watching life.
I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for the day.
I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn't show soil or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.
Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I'd have cherished every moment realizing that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.
When my kids kissed me impetuously, would never have said, "Later, now go get washed up for dinner." There would have been more "I love you's" ... more "I'm sorry's" ... but mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute ... look at it and really see it ... live it .. and never give it back.
(Erma Bombeck)

Santorum Campaigns in Wisconsin, Ignoring Pressure to Bow Out to Romney
26 Mar 2012 at 12:00am RACINE, Wis. -- Mitt Romney remains his biggest foe, but Rick Santorum is increasingly confronting an even more daunting obstacle: a rising chorus of Republicans calling for the divisive presidential contest to end so the party can turn its full attention to defeating President Obama. A new chapter is opening in the Republican nominating fight,...

I got 2 A's on my report card, and 6 B's. I normally get better. Is that bad?
recently I have been very stressed and not really working and paying FULL attention to school, but for term 3 I'm going for straight A's. Will this affect my future? I also got work ethic, but normally I get that and acedemic achievement or academic excellence. I most likely will get academic excellence and work ethic, and probably straight A's or 1 or 2 B's. Can you back me up to say that the report card I got isn't horrible, and I'll be better next term. Also, explain how it will be ok in future? Thanks.
My girlfriend left me for another guy but she says she still loves me.?
Me and this girl have been best friends for over 5 years so we decide to start a relationship. Our new found relationship was starting its third month and then she went and kissed her ex, but me being a nice guy forgave her.
Then when it came up to a year being together i was over the moon because this is the longest ive ever been with a girl. But unfortunately i found out that she cheated on me again (kissed) with a guy from her church, to rub salt to the wounds she left me for him ;-(. The problem now is that am trying to get over her but its just not working i really loved her and had many plans to. I cant just leave her because i she still is my best friend.
Another problem is that she says she still loves me and wants to be with me but the problem is that everyone knows that them to are seeing each other, whilst when we were together we kept it to ourselves.
Another thing is that our families think we gonna get married and she has gone and meet this new guys parents. Its all to much for me and just feel like shit everyday.
Another add on to this is that she has always been jealous when i talk to girls and when i talk about me finding a girl or being in a new relationship and hates when i talk about her and that D.I.C.K. That's what i don't understand if you loved me and cared y would you leave me and not want me to find a girl. (For some strange reason she keep saying that its not her boyfriend because he didn't ask her out).
Also when i hang out with her now as best friends she always replies to messages all the time but i give her the look that says am gonna B. I. T. C. H slap u lol. But when shes with him its like am trying to call her voice mail. We used to have late night fone conversations but now its like am having late night conversations to myself, whilst the D.I.C.K head gets her full attention.
p.s she cried a lot and even wanted to kill herself (very emotional girl). Also i had to meet the guy because she invited him to her little sis b-day, she felt so award with both of us there, at the same time jealous as i spoke to some other girls.
But do you guys think we will ever get back together cuz we still have feelings for each other and she told me that I have her wrapped round my little finger. oh and shes going to the same uni as me which is like 400 miles away from this guy. The cherry on top is that me and her have slept together twice whilst she is with him. (they have not had sex)
Can you give me advice according to the paragraphs. Was going to make it one whole one but even I would get bored reading a paragraph that long. :-)
