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.

How To Be Happy And Single

Here is your Sunday STORY on: THE LOVE OF WISDOM: I search through every conceivable source to bring these stories on a daily basis. Often these moments do not necessarily come from the highest source, spiritual, godliness or most academic in their field of study, but they maybe from children or a close colleague. Today's story is about arguing within the family and one way in which to prevent it from escalating. WHO IS TO BLAME? I was listening with close attention to a lady colleague of mine who was trying to resolve a marital problem. Separation had occurred and bitterness had set in. Both partners were living separately, but whenever a solution to a problem was required, both partners needed to talk and try to resolve the issue. What ensued was an argument, where both parties disagreed. Tempers flared and the encounter was discontinued. Matrimonial problems are not easy, and as I listened attentively to every too and fro of the most recent communicative disasters, there was one comment that was made that I shall remember for the rest of my life. She told me she had gone for matrimonial help, but before she took the first hurdle she was advised to try an open discussion once more with her ex-husband, in her own home. However the mediator, in this case a lady solicitor (lawyers/attorney), suggested she needed to keep one thing clear in her mind, 'DO NOT LAY BLAME, ' otherwise an argument will result. Having studied that for a moment, I thought wow! Isn't that just so true. Laying blame infuriates your opposite partner and a verbal slanging match begins. As much as you are tempted with the impulse to lay blame, you need to resist. I tend to govern my life with, authoritative comments, short quotes, short stories, parables and philosophy from all corners of the globe. So it would seem appropriate to add, 'Don't Lay Blame' to my own personal philosophy. Of course we know that this statement is true, but if we are prompted with a few words of wisdom the whole subject floods into mind and our actions are justly affected. 'Don't Lay Blame, ' wow! (Phil Booker) I have recently watched a film based upon a book, the film was called 'Pollyana.' It is a beautiful story of a young English girl who lost both her parents when she was only about twelve years old and had to stay with her auntie. Her auntie wasn't the most enjoyable family member to be alone with. She could hardly raise a smile. But Pollyana remembered fondly her father, who always was an optimist. Whatever was to happen, especially negatives, he would teach Pollyana to see the positive and smile even during the darkest moments. A superb plot that eventually had Pollyana responsible for changing the image of this sleepy village into a vibrant, enthusiastic and giving community. QUOTE: "An optimist sees an opportunity in every calamity; a pessimist sees a calamity in every opportunity. (Sir Winston Churchill, former British Prime Minister).

What's so great about being single ?
I read a few Internet articles about "How To Be Happy and Single" tonight . One article said "You can be your own person and make your own rules ." . Well ... being my own person means being in a relationship and making my own rules means establishing the rules you might expect people in a relationship to have . This article also said "You can focus on yourself" . All of these comments and writings that cover "The Great Things About Being Single" say "You can do whatever YOU want to ." . That sounds so selfish, and I hate being selfish . Besides, if I'm free to do whatever I want, I'll go home and watch TV, and I don't need to be single to do that . I I've also had people give me that old cornball, "You can have sex with whoever comes along ." . I NEVER meet available women, and even if I did, I wouldn't be interested in casual sex . I'm forty -- eight years old and single, and when you're forty -- eight years old and single, everybody thinks you're a homosexual, a child molester, or a selfish jerk . The advantages of being single don't interest me at all . i'm not the kind of person who says "I love being free to do whatever I want !" . I'd be a lot more likely to say "I'd give anything to meet a wonderful woman !" . People in relationships DO have another person to consider, and they have to follow extra rules, but as far as I can tell, they hardly miss out on anything . Am I wrong ? How am I wrong ? Do I sound like a person who should be single ? What's in the single life that should interest me ? What's so great about being single ?
