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.

Here is your Thursday STORY on: ADAPTING TO CHANGE: Some people think that there is a method of how to appear dominating and in charge. Imagine for example, a politician, don't they appear to be totally domineering? What about the President or as we have here in England, a Prime Minister, don't they appear to be always 'in charge' of their behavioural patterns? Broadcasters, high flying business people, high ranking army officials, high ranking government personnel, these and many more seem to have a charisma of strength and determination. So what is their secret? Making sure they are fully alert, and you will notice these people never allow themself to comment unless they have studied the facts. Knowledge is power! If you listen and respond, you will create the same energy and communication skills as these who perfect it professionally. QUOTE: 'When you only ever half listen, you can expect nothing less than only ever being half as effective.' Always pay full attention. Listen and respond, as a well structured response can change the world; more often than not, the structure isn't planned it comes from keeping full attention throughout your response. In effect what your heart tells you to say. If you could ever trust that reaction, you'll realise its potential. Try and remember a moment where you spoke without thinking, and the quality of that comment that was spoken; you may have even thought that it had come from someone else's mouth. Express this power vocally and physically and you will impress. If you knew how to harness this power you would use it regularly Adapting to change in this way is simple. Test, try and see; you may well be impressed yourself. So don't forget to listen and respond from the heart instantly. You will not know unless you try! Now on to today's story... PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE Today's example occurred in 1960. In was an American Presidential debate between Richard Nixon and John F Kennedy. The debate was broadcast both on radio and, for the first time on television. The majority of people who listened to the radio thought Nixon won the debate. But by far the majority watched it on television. Those that did thought Kennedy won. Why? Kennedy was much better at sending 'elect me' messages in a visual way that that of Nixon. (From a book by Nate Booth). QUOTE: 'Every man carries in his eye the exact indication of his rank.' (Ralph Waldo Emerson). [[ct]]: Timeless Wisdom

THE FUNNY PAGES: II: TRUE-LIFE TALES; My Words of Inspiration

Every June as I read excerpts of the pithy, heartfelt speeches delivered by people of note to graduating seniors, I secretly compose an imaginary speech so full of timeless wisdom, gallows humor and just a touch of blunt profanity that it cannot fail to inspire even fidgety young people. I guess a chance to fulfill that fantasy (and a paycheck big...

Sports of The Times; Brown Hasn't Stopped Believing

Why do so many people take the Bible literally?
I am not saying that the Bible is not a great book, and indeed there is much wisdom in it. However, this is a text that was written, translated, and re-translated over a period of several thousand years. Over this period of time there are errors in how they are copied. There are also nuances in words that disappear in translation. Why do many people simply state that because it is in the Bible, it is the Truth? The Truth that is in the Bible is held in its timeless wisdom about our relationship to God. It is NOT a scientifically accurate book-- I have heard people tell me that the limited descriptions of the monsters, "Leviathan" and "Behemoth" are accurate descriptions of DINOSAURS! I understand that people beleive that the Bible is the Word of God-- but how can you take poetry (the Psalms, Song of Solomon, etc.) literally? How about the parts that contradict each other (ie the two creation accounts in Genesis-- how can the world be created twice?). Why do people believe this? Just to mention-- for those of you wondering, I HAVE studied this subject extensively. I earned a B.A. in Religious Studies several years ago (as well as a B.S. in Biology). Also the two creation accounts: Genesis 1:1-2:1 and Genesis 2:4-2:25. They are two distinct stories. Again, I am not diputing the wisdom found in the Bible-- I am disputing the literal interpretation of the text.
