What It Means to Be happy?

Happiness like money is a highly controversial concept that means many things to different people.  And for some of us, it is even harder to define and narrow down those concepts.  It is something we all need, or more of, again just like money.  It would probably be safe to say that happiness and money goes hand in hand—kind of like two peas in a pod—you can’t really have one without the  other.  Some people say money makes you happy and some people say it doesn’t.  But when you don’t have it, you sure as hell won’t be happy. Unless; of course, you are a monk, living in the deserts of Tahiti.   Did you know that one of the biggest cause of divorces and relationship breakups in North America is money or the lack there of? So let’s define Happiness,

What Does the Bible Say About Interpersonal Relations?

Introduction Interpersonal relations are an integral part of our lives. How we interact with others can significantly impact our well-being and the world around us. The Bible, a timeless source of wisdom and guidance, provides valuable insights on how we should conduct ourselves in our relationships with others. In this blog post, we will explore what the Bible says about interpersonal relations, focusing on essential principles and passages that offer guidance on love, forgiveness, humility, and more. The Great Commandment In Matthew 22:37-39 , Jesus emphasizes the importance of love in our interpersonal relations: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbour as yourself.'" The Great Commandment underscores the significance of love in our interactions, reminding us to treat others as we would want to be treated.  Conjecturing, Cri...

When You Want to Quit

A while ago I came across this post, I found it so inspiring that this is the second time I am sharing it with my readers. Wednesday, 27 October 2010 10:58 AM EDT Shirley Arnold At times giving up may seem reasonable. But the nature of faith is seeing and doing the impossible. Everyone at one time or another has wanted to give up! Even Jesus wanted to give up when He faced the cross. Knowing His footsteps would soon lead Him to agony and shame, He asked the Father "'O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me'" (Matt. 26:39, NKJV). In essence, He was saying, If there is another way to accomplish Your will, Father, could we go with plan B? Jesus was faced with the choice of giving up or pressing on. It is the same choice we have all faced when circumstances have brought us to a place of giving up. We know that if we give up, we will be relieved of the pressure of the moment. And if we press on, we will continue to face all the obstacles that broug...

What's the difference among intuition, instinct, and judgment?

Have you ever wondered what exactly is the difference between "Intuition," "Judgment" and "Instinct?" We sometimes use them interchangeably to mean one and the same. I stumbled upon a Quora's answer. I n short, intuition is acquired and instinct is inherent - but both allow us to react without judgment. Judgment is a conscious act and involves reasoning. Intuition   The ability to acquire knowledge without inference or the use of reason. It's automatic without requiring thought. Think of how with experience to something, you can automatically react to a situation because your mind has internalised a response. Instinct Human inherent inclination to react to a situation, due to unlearned and inherited patterns. It can be regarded as genetic almost - being programmed to think and act a certain way.            Judgment A cognitive process that results in an opinion about something. Unlike instinct and intuition, it involves reasoning. My...

Be Your Own Hero!

When I look back on my own life, there have been many times when I felt like giving up, there have been many times I have given up and there are times when I hang on tight for dear life. What do you think made the difference in actually giving up, just thinking about giving up and hanging on? In all these instances, I have learned that there are somethings worth fighting for and some things are just a waste of time and energy. Knowing the difference will make the difference because you are going to have to pick your battles. Sometimes some things are not meant to be—lay them to rest. If you pursue them they will take you out of alignment with your values and what you really want. You will lose your own way. Sometimes you didn't really want it in the first place—it might have been someone else's desire for you so there is no point fighting for it. Other times it might have been red eye—you see someone else doing it so you think you can do it too—you are compe...
