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, [...]

‘All men’s miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone.’ ~Blaise Pascal Post written by Leo Babauta. Think about some of the problems of our daily lives, and how many of them would be eased if we could learn to sit alone, in a quiet empty room, with contentment. If [...]

‘Everything is practice.’ ~Pele Post written by Leo Babauta. When we learn a martial art, or ballet, or gymnastics, or soccer ? we consciously practice movements in a deliberate way, repeatedly. By conscious, repeated practice, we become good at those movements. Our entire lives are like this, but we’re often less conscious of the practice. [...]

Post written by Leo Babauta. Every January, people rush out and get a gym membership, set a list of goals or resolutions, and get ready to take on a new year of frenetic activity. Unfortunately, we don’t often clear space to make room for all this new stuff. The beginning of the year is a [...]

6 Jan 2012 at 12:19pm
Post written by Leo Babauta. So you’ve been putting off tackling your clutter for months, maybe even years. Papers pile up on a counter, shelves are crammed full of books and magazines and other things, closets are stuffed to the point of spillage, clothes pile up on the floor or furniture, boxes and furniture and [...]
How to Have the Best Year of Your Life (without Setting a Single Goal)
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. I did [...]


Keeping Secrets

Here is your Thursday STORY on: ADAPTING TO CHANGE: Is change an important part of your life? It is integral! It is like the wind in nature; let me explain: GREAT BARRIER REEF Most people would be aware of the Great Barrier Reef, stretching some 1, 800 miles from New Guinea to Australia. Tour guides regularly take visitors to view the reef. On one tour, the guide was asked an interesting question. "I notice that the lagoon side of the reef looks pale and lifeless, while the ocean side is vibrant and colourful, " a traveller observed. "Why is this?" The guide gave an interesting answer: "The coral around the lagoon side is in still water, with no challenge for its survival. It dies early. The coral on the ocean side is constantly being tested by wind, waves, storms - surges of power. It has to fight for survival every day of its life. As it is challenged and tested it changes and adapts. It grows healthy. It grows strong. And it reproduces." Then he added this telling note: "That's the way it is with every living organism." (Unknown Author). That's how it is with people. Challenged and tested, we come alive! Like coral pounded by the sea, we grow. Physical demands can cause us to grow stronger. Mental and emotional stress can produce tough-mindedness and resiliency. Spiritual testing can produce strength of character and faithfulness. If you want to feel the wind through your hair a little more often, then be ready for the changes in life. These changes are more certain than even the very things we expect to happen. "Be good at dealing with problems and with change. Little is more certain to happen, both today and tomorrow!" QUOTE: "Within you right now is the power to do things you never dreamed possible. This power becomes available to you just as soon as you can change your beliefs." (Dr. Maxwell Maltz, 1899 - 1975, Author).


Cute names for a girl like this?
So I am writing a story and I need a name for the main character. She has curly strawberry blond/light red hair and blue eyes. She is very outgoing and personable. She likes to laugh and make others laugh. She's good at keeping secrets. She loves solving puzzles. She always acts like she knows what she's doing, even when she doesn't. She is definitely a leader or "alpha". She is good at hiding how she really feels. She has a lot of friends. Her best friends are named Savannah, Genevieve (Genna), and Harper. Any ideas on a name for her?

Oh hypocritical virgo, what am I going to with you?
My mom is a typical virgo - says one thing, means another. Talks the talk and preaches like crazy but doesn't walk the walk. When there's clearly a problem, she hides it under a rug and when sh*t blows up, she blames others for her lack of TACKLING the problem. She runs away from it. She gossips like crazy but then tells others they can't keep secrets. She's been saying how she's been wanting to lose weight "for years" but she's still the same size (or if not, bigger. Sorry). As you can guess, I'm a Sagittarius. I keep things to myself most of the time and there's few people I trust that I can confide it. I'm big on values and "philosophical" things (constantly changing so I may seem 2 faced on different occasions since i change my mind often). For example: I have a family member who is also a virgo. She "plays" innocent in front of everyone yet has no morals at all. My mom is always asking me about her so at this point, I naturally just tell her. My mom did say, "you don't keep secrets.." I replied, "you're a hypocrite who gossips and looks at people's facebook pages to gossip with your friends. I only tell you what I know of my cousin because you ask." She then tried to change it and said, "no, what I mean is that you're frank and very blunt." Who wants to make a bet that she'll ask me again later on with what's going on with my cousin? Also, the thing with sags is that we're stubborn m*therf*ckers with alot of pride. If you say something about ME, I really disagree with, we take "revenge" and kind of hold a grudge with it ;) How do you deal with virgos?

Am I being selfish? I need opinions of men and women.?
My birthday is 10 days before Valentine's day and my boyfriend of 3 months (we've known each other for a while but didn't talk much until the last 5 months or so) is terrible at keeping secrets so he said he got me flowers for my birthday and chocolate for valentines day. So I told him in the nicest way possible that flowers and candy is the v-day thing and my birthday is a separate holiday to which he replied "are you saying you want more?" in this shocked tone and then I felt bad and said no. But I really feel like he's trying to shove the 2 days together and I feel sad about it. Should I feel sad about it? I should also mention that last year a cpl weeks before Christmas I told him to mail me a shirt of his so I could sleep in it sometimes and he mailed it near Christmas and called it my present. I feel a little screwed on that present too. So am I wrong for feeling like this? If I am not wrong how do I tell him? I feel like if I don't fix it now he will always be like this on holidays. He has a pretty nice job and he's always spending money so I don't get why he can't spend like 20 bucks on something, wrap it up and make that my present on my birthday. Please help me figure this out :( I should also mention that I would not leave him over this. I would just be internally sad.
