Getting out of the rut and taking back control
Tuesday, May 22nd, 2012
We’ve all heard the saying ‘variety is the spice of life’ but how do we actually bring variety into our own lives. Many of us would simply pass this by thinking that changing the way you are brings added complications and more stress results. In fact, it is quite the opposite, the change that most people fear actually brings much needed zest and passion that is so necessary in our lives. In particular, it can help build stronger relationships and at the same time put us in a much better frame of mind.
The biggest obstacle towards sprucing up your life originates from the mind. How often have you thought about doing something but never really go around to doing it. I can bet you that if you were to total up the time you spent in thinking of doing something but never doing it, it would most likely be longer than the task itself! What is this fear that people have in undertaking any tasks that they would love to do, but simply cannot motivate themselves to doing it? Part of the reasons, in my opinion, is due to too much thinking.
The tendency for most of us, is that when we think too much we inevitably bring about our own personal views to the tasks in hand. This can always be defeatism, because we start to make excuses of how we don’t like to do it, or we were never good at it or simply not confident enough. The mind initially starts with a ‘DO’ attitude and inevitably all our hidden fears and excuses turns the whole event into a ‘DONT’. Next time you find yourself in this quagmire, think about the tasks that you do with passion and zest. You probably do not hesitate for a second to get onto those tasks without even thinking. Your best bet it to take action while you are in the ‘DOING’ stage of the thinking and think about the ‘NAYS’ after doing it. You may very well ask yourself, ‘what all the fuss was all about and how easy the whole task was’.

What are boundaries and how can it help us in our relationships?
Friday, May 18th, 2012
All of us have boundaries and to what extent we push these boundaries can define our own personality and the opinion of others. Let me give you a simple example, if we remain within the boundaries of our own town or city we are not experiencing the full measure of the different experiences of other cities or towns let alone other countries or cultures. We do this of our own volition and it can clearly define what boundaries we have set for our own selves and naturally affects the way we interact with people and in our own relationships.
What are boundaries and how can it help us in our relationships
In addition to the boundaries that we have set within ourselves which is usually determined by our own comfort zone, some of us open those boundaries with interactions with others. It may be due to financial constraints or some other that we simply cannot extend our boundaries in order to embody the full experiences of the unknown that often lift us higher. In such cases we have the human interaction that can give us a glimpse of the outer boundaries. We often find that older people through their wisdom can be very accommodating to our own needs and requirements in which case they have opened up their own boundaries through the interaction of their loved ones.
How do we go about extending our boundaries such that it enriches all of our lives? To a large extent, this has been done through the internet with the readily available information at our fingertips. It is important to remember that in addition to this vast array of knowledge which sparks of interest and passion, we have the capacity to reach out to people who have very new experiences than ourselves. This enables us to extend our own boundaries and enhance the quality of our lives and at the same time develop very likeable qualities perceived by other people.

The Sordid Truth about Love in this Square World
Monday, April 30th, 2012
Love as we would like to know it, is something that germinates within us and gives us seemingly uncontrollable bursts of love and passion inside all of us. Ideally, it makes everything around us more interesting and desirable and we have new elevated feelings that unfolds and gives us insights into the world never imagined before. We know that love truly comes from the heart and many of us are still waiting in anticipation to bite into this forbidden apple. Can love be so overpowering and yet so distant? I fear not, and love can surely be induced by the will of the person.
The Sordid Truth about Love in this Square World
We all like to romanticize love and throughout history we have fashioned couples who portray love in its most purest form such as Romeo & Juliet, Cleopatra & Mark Anthony, Lancelot and Guinevere and the list goes on. It seems that love has no boundaries and effectively the couples are so drenched with each other in love that all practicalities of life takes secondary precedence. The question is how long will this love be sustained and will a true measure of its omnipotence be until the dying days. Inevitably we characterize the zealous love between the two lovers with a tragic ending. Clearly the notions of fantastic love has no place on this earth.

No doubt all of us in some way strive towards such unbridled feelings that emancipates the very depth and soul of our body and says unto you ‘this is the real you’. Because of this innate nature in all of us, we can in fact have the capability and the capacity for love. However, this capacity will take on a whole new shape if the ‘love’ is not reciprocated. Let me give you examples, you like someone of the opposite sex and every being in your body says ‘it’s a good thing’. You let your heart take over and soon you are engaged in a love story all by yourself. If your partner happens to feel the same way, then you are in luck, however if he/she is skilled in the nuances of love and affection, you can find yourself ensnared in the love of your own making.
The point is that everyone has the ‘key’ to love and they can open it with whomever they wish but their selection is deeply rooted in their own personal feelings and trust with that individual. We live in a world where it’s moving at the speed of light and people are becoming less patient and more into their own lives. We need to pause and take a breath and rather than the physical world consuming the very energy inside of us, we need to step back and reflect. The world needs to become less square and more round for love to take on it’s original understanding and meaning that it always had.
