Creating Silence from Chaos
by Leo
27 Jan 2012 at 3:20pm
Post written by Leo Babauta. We are often afraid of silence, because its emptiness feels idle, boring, unproductive, and scary. And so we fill our lives with chaos, noise, clutter. But silence can be lovely, and therapeutic, and powerful. It can be the remedy for our stress and the habits that crush us. If we [...]

‘Don’t panic.’ ~Douglas Adams Post written by Leo Babauta. Why is it that we cannot break the bad habits that stand in our way, crushing our desires to live a healthy life, be fit, simplify, be happier? How is it that our best intentions are nearly always beaten? We want to be focused and productive, [...]

Post written by Leo Babauta. So you’ve been putting off tackling your clutter for months, maybe even years.

by guest
5 Jan 2012 at 9:15am
Editor’s note: This is a guest post from Jeff Goins of Goins, Writer. This new year, do something different: stop setting goals. If the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results, then making resolutions for another year is a sure-fire way to drive yourself crazy.

Happy Easter

Here is your Monday STORY on: LOVE: Whilst LOVE is a beautiful component of life it also can be a hindrance. When a close friend passes away that immediate love is lost and a subsequent depression can set in if we allow it. The whole subject of death is a vast area for discussion, but today we look at one way we can overcome this feeling of depression. The simple answer is to love. We need to both love the memory of the person who has passed away and we need to offer the intensity of love we had to other people. This of course is easy to say but not so easy to do. Having taken the subject to an extreme we must also realise that any form of sadness or depression can be overcome with love. If we can focus onto another, the intensity of which we know we can do, then the sense and mood will change. You cannot remain sad for long when you are offering love. It would be true to say, following those two paragraphs, that to encourage happiness you must also encourage love. Today's story illustrates a family's need to see when love will bring another family out from sadness. THE BIG RED BOX February came and as usual, depression set in. With holidays behind her, she could no longer look forward to the parade of friends and relatives that helped her chase away the loneliness. The gloomy, grey mornings only made it worse. She hated Februarys. She remembered how much she used to cherish Valentine's Day, the way he began a week ahead of time, with a different gift each day, building to a huge bouquet of flowers and some special, intimate present that seemed so well thought-out. He always surprised her somehow. She loved that about him. After Jim passed away, her life force seemed to seep out of her like a huge balloon with a slow leak, a little more each day. Deflated, she struggled to get up, pull herself together and function with any sense of normalcy. "Maybe today will be better, " she tried to convince herself. The box shocked her. She knew she hadn't ordered anything because she couldn't afford it. When she first saw the UPS man at her door half hidden by an enormous cardboard thing, she thought for sure that he had made a mistake. "Sign here, " the man said. "Where would you like me to put this?" Flustered, she pointed to the chair in the hallway, the one where Jim always dropped his coat. She stood in the foyer staring at the box, afraid to touch it. No return address, no indication of where it came from. "Should I open it?" she questioned, uncertain and timid. "Why am I acting so ridiculous?" she fussed at herself. She walked to the kitchen, picked up a knife and returned, cut the tape that held the package together and lifted the flaps. Underneath the white Styrofoam peanuts, she could see a vivid red. "What's that?" she wondered and began to dig. Despite herself, she could feel her adrenalin surge. She let the peanuts fall to the ground. There, inside the box, sat another one, a bright cherry colour, with a pink bow that held a single silk rose. Her heartbeat quickened and her face flushed. She reached in and removed the mystery, set it on the neighbouring table. "Who sent this? What is it?" Suddenly, she chuckled. She saw her own smile in the mirror above the counter and barely recognized it. It had been so long. Her excitement took over. She ripped off the ribbon, kept the rose in one hand and pulled off the top. A purple boa wrapped around matching slippers rested on top of a satiny camisole of the same colour. "My favourite!" she squealed. She nestled the boa around her neck and picked up the card with a huge heart on the front. With much trepidation, she opened it and felt her eyes mist. She cried her way through the words. "Mom, I love you so much. Will you be my Valentine? Jim, Jnr." Who might you reach out to next Valentine's Day who might otherwise be alone? Could you find it within yourself to do it? Thanks for your heart. (Ridgely Goldsborough) QUOTE: "Love is a union with somebody, or something, outside oneself, under the condition of retaining the separateness and integrity of one's self. (Erich Fromm)


Is he hate me or being a player?
Ok i will try and make it short :) Ok so my friend introduced me to this boy she liked, and i keeped it a secret that i had feelings for him to. He ended up tell my friend he liked me and i told her than too. After a few weeks after that i kinda went my seperate ways with this friend. Then a while back i started texting this guy, but at first i thought it was my friend and her friends being stupid so i flipped out and said things i shouldnt have. Well the guy forgave me and we talked more than a week or so after freaking out he stopped texting me cold turkey.

Any Advice On Getting This Girl? (10 points)?
Knew her 9 months. We?d text,hang out at school,save seats for me, and share food. Two weeks after I met her my cousin told her I liked her. She said were friends. We went to movies once. A day she asked me to look at her BUTT because she said where she sat felt sticky. She has many guy friends so she?s not shy and her past relationships ended badly. The 1st week of this college SEMESTER she text me alot. We hung out and she introduced me to some guy. Next week I saw her with a guy friend when she saw me she came over. She said she?d message me later but then said she went to lunch with a friend. I once tried to grab her hand but made it a handshake. That Friday was supposed to be movie night. She said ?ILLTRY but there?s no good movies". Monday she told me she hung out with a guy she hadn?t seen in months. A day she came and poked me. She asked what I was doing then talked to a guy. I heard her talk about a guy she liked on summer vacation. She looked at me at points. I was leaving and she came over. I saw her Friday in the computer room. She said ?did you come in because you saw me lol?. Later she saw her friend?s car. She called him and he was with some friends of hers. She went go see them and he drove her home. We hugged and she went. A day while talking she twirled her hair. One day I couldn?t find my earphones. She asked where I last saw them and I said with a female friend and she went quiet. We talked and she touched my shoulder. She said Bieber will be sexy when older. We didn?t speak March break. Ran into her 2weeks ago. She said she?s going to Cuba for a week. I saw her next Monday. Saw her after school and when I touched her shoulder she grabbed my hand but she was listening to music so I guess I scared her. Next day I saw her she smiled & waved. Recently she?s been pretending to not see me. Last Friday while talked she complimented my shirt. She text me last Saturday night, I replied an hour later. She asked me what?s up and I told her I?m out. She said she?s home chillin. I said she must be happy she's done exams and she said ya but she's BORED. She asked where Im headed. I told her we hung out at a girl?s house, went to eat and now going to movies. She asked what movie. We text until the movie began and she said enjoy. Easte I text her and she said "hello mister" and said happy Easter. I Complimented her facebook pic. She said "thanks :p".My Phone was dying she said " oh lol its alright np" I replied ?lol night? she said "good night sleep good xoxo". We have not spoken since.
