Love eternal...

I want to share with you a little story to fill your hearts. Guilt I felt as I pass through each word, because I have taken for granted that person who has loved me the most. How lucky I was to have been loved, despite my shortcomings and imperfections. Never will I forget this lesson I learn about the true nature of love. I then pass this on to you. Love You Forever by Robert Munsch A mother held her new baby...

Success is nothing to be afraid of...

This is a guest post from Bart Jacobs of wakeupandstartliving.com.  It is his aspiration to guide people on their quest to find true happiness by writing about body, mind, and spirit. The title of this post might confuse you at first. You may want to read it again. Does it strike a chord within you? Does it surprise you when I say that a lot of people are afraid of success? To tell you the truth, for a long...

Selfishness under the pretense of love...

I have come to observe the diminishing clarity of our distinction between love and selfishness. More often than not, most of the things we do in the name of love are in fact selfish acts aimed to satisfy ourselves rather than the object of our affection. Being unable to distinguish love from our own selfishness has caused conflicts in our relationship with our loved ones. Allowing deeper examination upon...

Who is to blame?...

As I am trying to find the words to give light on the subject of blame, I’m presently beleaguered by unfavorable circumstances challenging my composure. First, nothing seems to come up of my mind with regards to the right association of words to convey my point. Second, no matter how much I want to make my day perfect, it doesn’t seem to fit my expectations. I blame my unproductive writing schedules on my...

Criticism: the unwanted mentor...

I reckon that we are all familiar with the concept of criticism. Most of the time, in our everyday encounter with life we unconsciously execute this prejudicial attitude in our civilities with people as well as interpreting events. Ironically, it’s easy for us to throw criticisms on others but hate it when we are subjected to the experience; we find it hard to entertain any challenges to our principles upon...

The essence of giving...

Giving has become a neglected virtue as humans have evolved into a civilization where individual gain has become a highly favored endeavor. Perhaps it is the consequence of our advancement or maybe it’s the price we have to pay for our progress. The current trend is to gobble everything that will further ones’ interest, eliminating any probable benefits others may chance upon. It’s a game of domination,...

Words are never enough...

Our life goes around with words. In every aspect of our interaction, we have basically counted on words to express ourselves as well as our intentions. Of course, it is man’s sole privilege to communicate through words. Bestowed upon us are highly advanced faculties capable of transforming our thoughts into understandable form. Though reigning as our main channel for communication, it also holds suspect of...

Reconsidering Love...

This is a guest post from my fellow blogger Tomas Stonkus of Uncertainchange.com. I find his thoughts interesting and I want to share it with you. When I sat down to write this article, I wanted to call it: “What Love Really Is”. As soon as I started writing, it hit me. All of us are unique and all of us experience life differently. That is why we all have a unique understanding of what love is....

Lasting aspirations?...

There’s a question in my mind I long to resolve. It involves the validity of my commonly held aspirations in life. In my wanting to attain what I think is the ultimate state of being, I end up faced with contradictions. What I once perceived to be lofty has reduced itself into a mirage. I have long been aware of the longings of man. Irrespective of time and place, humans have wanted to achieve three highly...

Deep understanding...

In our everyday lives we often encounter questions that need answers. However, we make the wrong approach in brewing our understanding. As a consequence we get confused: the seeming answer we have acquired proves more of an enigma. There are many factors that inhibit our capability to fully understand. We are always overridden by our beliefs, superstition, bias, ego, bigotry and false sense of righteousness....
