Appreciation And Expecting The Best In Others-People Will Live Up To Your Expectations

By Michelle Vasquez If you look for goodness in others, you will find it. If you choose to interpret a person’s actions as friendly, you will have good feelings towards that person. Conversely, if you expect that others are intent on doing you harm, you will always interpret their actions as hostile, even when they’re not. It’s your choice. People will live up to your expectations. Be careful what you expect. If you expect the worst of people you may get it. I challenge you to decide to expect the best from the people around you. Let go of your expectations that people will disappoint you or hurt you. Try this for a week and see what happens. Start with your family and friends. Try it for another week. What have you got to lose except your negative perceptions? If you want to increase the chances of finding goodness in others, consider changing your own behavior. A little appreciation goes a long way. We all crave appreciation. Pay attention to the little things the people you care about do. When you consistently notice the goodness in others and you appreciate it, youll find people living up to your expectations. What can you do? Catch your children doing right! Notice when they are getting along and tell them you appreciate it. Notice when they do something without your telling them Tell your spouse you appreciate those things she or he does (going to work each day, taking care of the children, taking out the trash, greeting you with a smile, killing the bugs, changing the light bulbs) Tell your friends what you appreciate about their friendship Tell your parents what you appreciate about them Seek goodness and you will find it all around you. Decide to live an Aware Life, noticing and appreciating the things you previously took for granted. Watch your relationships blossom with the people you care about the most!

Chinese Herbal Medicine

By Anastasia Phocas A popular saying about Chinese herbal medicine answered the question What to Expect from a Doctor of Chinese Medicine with “Above all else, do no harm” Among all the medical systems of the world, Chinese herbal medicine is the most highly developed. Over thousands of years, the experience of countless administrators of the system ensured its popularity. Chinese herbal medicine consists of animal, mineral materials and plant species. They are prescribed in the form of formulae a combination of herbs than individually. The combination of herbs enhances the medicinal effects. Unwanted side effects are also neutralized by combining different herbs. The formulae in a Chinese herbal medicine consist of herbs of principal, assisting and directional functions which are combined with herbs to reduce the side effects and induce the digestion of the principal herb. Tang (decoctions of the boiled teas), San (milled powders), Pign (pills), Wan (tablets) are some of the methods of ingestion of the Chinese herbal medicines. Poultices, soaks, plasters, washes, ointments and fumigants contain the herb for an effective cure. The legends of Chinese herbal medicines are its flavour and potent odors. To get its fullest experience, boil the herbs and drink the tea. According to the combination of the formulae, the boiling time of herb will vary. While the roots of herbs take nearly 20 to 40 minutes of boiling to get its essence, other parts such as leaves and flowers yield medicines within ten to twenty minutes of boiling. The pills were invented by the Chinese. As it is done today, the doctors of China were prescribing pills right from the twelfth century. The pills are prepared from herbs milled and bound with honey, juice of ginger and water or some other related herbal substance. Extracting the constituents of the herbs can be achieved by using alcohol, glycerin, vinegar or water. They are easy to consume and prepare. Extracts from herbs should be drunk at room temperature since liquids, which are cold, do not get digested easily. Slowly sip the hot liquid even though it tastes terrible. To overcome the aftertaste, put a drop of lemon juice on the tip of the tongue after swallowing the herbal extract. In order to obtain best results, consume the herbal extract on an empty stomach. Wait for 30 minutes after drinking a herbal extract to eat food or any other additional medicines. Tinctures of Chinese herbal medicines should be diluted with water in small quantities so that the caustic effect of the solvent is reduced. The four examinations involved prior to prescribing a suitable formula are listening, smelling, tasting, and touching. After these processes, the doctor will decide the best course of action to treat the malady suffered by the patient. Anastasia Phocas is a proud contributing author. Find more articles here.

Vengeance, Retaliation and Revenge - Anyone Got a Better Idea?

By Dennis Diehl One of the less great “thus sayeth the Lord” moments in the Bible was the imposition of the very well know principle of “an eye for an eye and and a tooth for a tooth.” I understand that an apologist can say it just means that people should be paid restitution for losses, but in practice, Governments and most Evangelicals, love the literal translation. I assume that also went on to mean to those who know the deeper meanings of such things that it could also mean, “a leg for a leg”, “a spine for a spine,” and “a skull for a skull.” While God claimed the exclusive right to vengeance in the Old Testament (Psalms 94:1 O Lord, the God who avenges, O God who avenges, shine forth.” and in the New Testament, (Romans 12:19 “Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord,) the Israelites pretty much did the work for Him, and the Christians who evolved to make up the Church of history did a darn nice job of inflicting God’s wrath upon both the believer who believed the wrong thing and unbeliever who needed to be pursuaded. As a child, when hearing this all in Sunday School, I had a picture of all the people in the Old Testament running around blind and toothless and it explained why Jesus may have had so many blind people to heal in the New. I don’t recall Jesus restoring any teeth however. Later I began to think that vengeance was one thing reserved only for God, but retaliation must be somewhat of a more subtle human endeavor. You know, a way around the problem of not being allowed to inflict vengeance per se. But then I find that Jesus nixed the idea of retalaliation with his own example in 1 Peter 2:23. “When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly. ” But then I got to thinking about the entire theme of the Book of Revelation, where Jesus, well the Cosmic Jesus at least, wreaks vengeance, revenge and retaliation big time upon the entire planet for not going with the program. The Jesus of the Gospels might be the distant cousin of the Jesus of Revelation, but I don’t think the Jesus of the Gospels could actually be the Jesus of Revelation, at least not without a change of brain chemistry and his Meyers-Briggs Personality Profile. So then I got to thinking that it’s not that you can’t retaliate or get vengeance, but you have to wait until you have tried everything else before scraping your enemies off the face of the earth. But then I learned from President Bush and my government that trying everything only took a few weeks at most, and never worked so you had to bomb the sh– out of people quickly and with shock and awe. Yeah, that works and in a very short time people are apologizing for 911 and wondering what were they thinking? I did read an interesting study once by a psychologist who felt Jesus could have written Revelation (the intro does say it is His revelation) in his later years when delusions and schizophrenia would have been at it’s worst. I was taught he channeled it through John which is how we got it. The fact that it said 2000 years ago that it was the story of things which “must shortly come to pass” kinda bothers me because that’s not my personal idea of “shortly.” Maybe someone missed their cue. But then I wonder if that’s not what’s happening to our leaders today. It would explain a lot. I wonder if they might be thinking of writing their own Revelation and pouring out all their own vials and plagues along with the blowing of assorted trumpets. Kinda worries me. I have noticed the President and friends tend to surround themselves with those who read the Book of Revelation like a newspaper and see themselves in some of the leading roles. At any rate, let’s get back to this idea about vengeance, no matter who it belongs to, retaliation and revenge. As far as I can tell it does not seem to promote anything but vengeance, retaliation and revenge, which seems counterproductive. When the Hatfields and McCoys went at it over decades I believe, all we ended up with was less of each and a great story….all because of a pig I believe. Actually I have lived in Eastern Kentucky and vengeance, retaliation and revenge is what you do in them thar hills because reception of both TV and radio signals is so bad. There is little else to do or talk about after the day is done without those modern conveniences. It is no coincidence that the Hatfield and McCoy thing eased up a bit right about the time you could put that one big ass satellite dish in your front yard! I often saw dishes almost half as broad as the house, but darn it, there was peace in that family and surrounding county. Watching the Dukes of Hazard is safer than BEING the Dukes of Hazard! I’ve been to the Middle East where every stone upon the ground has been thrown at sometime, by someone, at someone for some reason and often. The Middle East is the Land of Handy Stones or perhaps we should say the Land of “Oh Yeah? Yeah!, Oh Yeah? Yeah! I know you are but what am I, Oh Yeah? Yeah? Make me! Take that! Doh!” It’s all nuts. Kinda like growing up in the 50’s picturing the launch of one missle that lead to two back that lead to twenty that led to a hundred that led to hell. I still vote Rodney King of “Can’t we all just get along” fame be head of the UN or at least advise the next President. This one would just say “No”. Speaking of the current powers that be, its disturbing just how difficult if not impossibe it is for anyone to get to talk with this guy when sabre’s are a rattlin’ and agendas are a formin’. Seems the converstaion goes something like this. The Threatened: “Can we talk?” The Decider: “No” The Threatened “Would you like to debate it?” The Decider “No” The Threatened “Would you like to come look?” The Decider “No” The Threatened “Could we have lunch?” The Decider “No” The Threatened “May I send you some Pistachio nuts?” The Decider “No” The Threatened “Would you like to kill me, my family, lots of children, women, men and our younger generation and take all our resources under your supervision?” The Decider “Now your talkin, get on the floor!” I don’t know where religion came up with the idea that vengeance, retaliation and revenge was a great characteristic for a Deity and one that was so well advised to follow. In practical fact, few really practice the religion of their guru. They find ways around it so they can manipulate the results and take the short cuts they wish for personal gain, power and prestige, and yet retain a form of the religion that they must appease to get selected or elected in the first place. Smoke and mirrors, masks and make-up…it’s what most “World Leaders” and human beings who profess to know and need to propel them to places of authority and power use against aveage humans. No one seems to notice that when Moses is said to have come down the mountain with the Big Ten, one of which said, “Thou shalt not kill,” and before reading them to the troops, got pissed off at the people for wondering where he had been, and had “every man slay his neighbor and in that day about 3000 perished,” and then went back to explaining the wonderful new Law of God he had been given by the Deity Himself! It’s almost as bad as Cain worrying about “every man who finds me shall slay me,” when God booted him out of the Garden, but never stopped to think that there were only four people on earth at the time and he had just killed one of them.” Actually it was the writer of the story who had a brain fart. But in the Bible and in the Middle East and now in America, it’s really all about vengeance, retaliation and revenge. The go nowhere and accomplish nothing but the death of a few hundred thousand doctrine. The fact is that it does not work and no one is ever satisfied that enough is enough. Who gives up their last son and says they no longer wish to take another man’s son to pay him back? Who then says “I will if you will,” and they will! Who loses a tooth and does not wish to retaliate by punching out all the teeth of the attacker? Who gets their eye poked and doesn’t wish to totally blind the poker? Well we did have the example of a Pope who forgave the man who shot him in a very dramatic scene in the man’s cell. But remember, the Pope is a Professional forgiver! It’s not like he can demand to go in and shoot the man twice for him shooting him once! No one, and certainly no one in this administration, has the insight or foresight to try a new way that excludes the idea of being the bully and getting even. Of course a more pure motive and heart would go a long way too. What a different world it might be today if men had no agendas and that when 9-11 came calling we had an enlightened leader who was not connected like a mass of worms in a can to other plans and masters. The buck might stop with someone, somewhere, but vengeance, retaliation and revenge seems to be what humans demand and we get over and over what we see today… blood, anquish, hatred, car bombs, depleted uranium by the ton, birth defects, cancers and terrorism we never would have had if there was a genuine leader in place in all these countries, ours included. As long as “God told me attack Sadaam and I did,” is the mentality, (how scary is this?) and my YHVH can woop your Allah is the stupidity that rules in the minds of world leadership, we’re in for hell on earth…again and again and again, worldcrap without end. I know I’d feel a lot better if our current President conferred with the Dali Lama more frequently instead of the Boys of Revelation and those of Evangelical Zionist Christianity gone nuts. But then I’d be afraid this President would think it funny and welcome him by saying “Well Hello Dali!…hehe,” and not understand a word much less a concept he endeavored to explain about the futility of vengeance, retaliation and revenge propelled by religion out of control. I’d be afraid he’d embarass me again. I know…I’m too idealisitc and don’t understand a thing about how people end up where they do in places of power and what’s really going on. Ok, well maybe I am not letting on to as much as I do know. But it’s past time… way past time, to replace a Deity and His chosen religio-political minions who believe vengeance, retaliation and revenge are the fruits of their Holy Spirit that will bring their idea of the Kingdom of God for us all to regret.

Seduce Sexy Women Very EASILY: Learn To Create A Bit Of Mystery To Attract Girls You Want To Date

By Kenneth Oboh You may have heard several times before that women love a man who has a little bit of mystery about him. Well, we all know that this is true but how exactly do you “create” this mystery when you’re with a woman you want to seduce? First you have to realise how female psychology works on a basic level. You see, women are ALWAYS attracted to a man who they don’t know much about, but who they can “gradually discover,” little by little. Think of it in terms of un-wrapping a Christmas present: You are excited to get it but you don’t know what it is until you start to unwrap it, and as each layer comes off, the anticipation increases until you get to see what the present is at the end. The reason why most men find it difficult to be mysterious is because they approach women with “no wrapping” at all. It’s as if they present themselves “bare” and shout, “Here I am, no need to discover me at all.” And once a guy puts himself in this position, he might as well rule out any chance of seduction. You “gotta” come in a colourful, interesting wrapping and I’m about to show you how to do it. Right, let’s assume you’ve met a girl you find attractive and you start chatting with her. As long as you have some sort of a rapport or connection with her, it won’t be long before she starts asking you questions about yourself like, “What do you do for a living?” or “Where are you from?” Now, whenever a girl asks you personal questions, THAT IS YOUR CHANCE to demonstrate some mystery and show her that there is a “wrapper” that she has to take off before getting to see the “real” you. So what I usually do at this point is this: First, I never answer the question directly, I find a way to make a joke about the question or give a ridiculous answer. Now, it is very important here to be PLAYFUL with her when doing this or else you’ll come across as arrogant or immature. So for example, a woman might ask me shortly after we meet, “What do you do for a living?” I’ll reply “Oh me, I clean the dust off people’s shoes at the bus stop as they go to work in the morning.” And if she laughs at that I’ll say with a straight face, (but still in a funny and playful manner) “What are you laughing at? I take my job very seriously. What do YOU do, miss clever pants?” You see, she knows I’m joking but by doing this I’m communicating two very important things that build up a lot of mystery in her mind. I’m FORCING her to try to “unwrap” my complex layers. This really generates massive attraction in her subconscious mind. This is interesting, I’m not telling her even something simple like my job and that begins to build the anticipation in her mind about who I am. Now, you will notice that I’m “teasing” her at the same time, (women love to be teased), I’m showing her that I’ve got a great sense of humor as well as the mystery. Secondly I’m communicating to her subconscious mind that I’m not trying to impress her with my job, (she starts to see me as a secure man who doesn’t need to brag about his job or how much money he makes). Instead I’m throwing her an invitation for HER to start impressing me (women are deeply attracted to men who are choosy about women, and that’s what I’m doing here, while being playful with her). I hope you can see why I want her to “take the bait” and start trying to impress me. By not telling a girl what she might genuinely want to know about you, you’re prolonging the mystery factor, and the longer you keep prolonging it, the more attracted to you she’ll get. And remember, you can do this with almost any personal questions she asks you, not just your job. Of course as you get to know her a bit more you can begin to let her know a little bit more of you. But make her EARN it each time by her telling you more about HERSELF. This way, you get her to “unwrap” you only a little bit at a time.

How To Help Animal Charities With Your Credit Card

By Joseph Kenny Britain is a nation of animal lovers, so it’s not surprising that there are many charities set up to look after old, sick or neglected animals. Donations to these charities can be made by supporting events, by setting up bank direct debits and by using cash. Making credit card payments is another way of supporting a charity. This has been made even easier with the appearance of charity credit cards. These are credit cards that have the badge of a particular charity and are supported by well known banks. Credit cards for animal charities include the Battersea Dogs Home, the British Horse Society, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and the People’s Dispensary for Sick Animals. Charity credit cards are backed by banks such as the Cooperative Bank, Halifax, the Royal Bank of Scotland and others. Giving To Charity With Charity Credit Cards Most charity credit cards contribute to charities in two ways. First of all, they offer a one-off donation of a fixed sum of money when a new credit card account is opened. This sum can range from 5 to more than 40 depending on the deal offered. If consumers continue to use the credit card within a particular period (for example six months to one year) a second lump sum contribution is paid at the end of that period. Payment is also made through ongoing contributions to the chosen charity. This is normally a percentage of any spending on the card. The percentage ranges from 0.25% to more than 1% depending on the deal. How To Choose The Best Charity Credit Card Deal Charity credit cards boast many of the same offers as other credit cards. These may include: 0% balance transfer rate 0% purchase rate Low interest rate Reward points Other incentives Consumers should note that 0% balance transfer and purchase rates are likely to be for a fixed period of between three months and a year. Most card issuers will also charge a fee for balance transfers (around 2%). This is designed to make sure that credit card companies do not lose out on interest as consumers move from 0% card to 0% card. In addition to the charitable contributions, charity credit cards may offer card holders incentives such as additional travel insurance, reward points that can be exchanged for cash or vouchers and much more. Look online to find credit card comparison sites. These will help consumers decide on the best mix of incentives, charitable contributions and interest rates to suite their spending habits. Once your new credit card has arrived, just start spending to start giving to charity. Charity credit cards offer an advantage for people whose heart is in the right place but who just don’t remember to dip into their pockets to make a donation. These credit cards make it simple to donate to your favourite charity every time you spend. Joe Kenny writes for CardGuide.co.uk, with the latest credit cards, and more info on best buy credit cards.

Personal Space: Life After Lap-Band Surgery

By Robin McCoy Have I become invisible or are people just aiming right at me? It seems to me that in a crowd these days, whether at the grocery store or 5th Avenue in New York City, people will walk right into me if I dont step out of the way. Or they stand so close to me I have to step backward in order to breathe. Now, I have never felt that I have such a small area of personal space. A busy street or mall never bothered me. I could walk through the crowd at a museum or a concert without being trampled. Only since losing 110 pounds have I begun to notice how the shrinking personal space has begun to bother me. When I weighed 277 pounds I always felt emotionally invisible; that no one truly saw me or knew I was there. But while I felt emotionally invisible, I knew I was always physically there. I didnt get bumped into, people didnt stand so close to me that I felt the need to step away in order to maintain personal space. In the mall or on a San Francisco street, people gave me a wide berth. Bus passengers would hesitate before sitting down next to me judging just how much space they would have for their ride home. When a thin person sees a fat person, regardless if the fat person is attractive or not, a bit of uneasiness runs through the thin person; If I wasnt working out everyday that could be me. Thank goodness I dont look like that. Ok, salad again for lunch. According to ABC News, the American public spends $33 billion on the ever elusive quest for non-fatness. The billions are spent on fat-free products, exercise equipment, gym memberships, and weight loss programs. Spent on anything and everything not to become that fat person they see on the bus. So it is no surprise that when the one thing they work so hard to avoid is right in front of them they steer clear of it. As a newly thin person I see the overweight person. I wish I could stop them and tell them how I did it– that I was once overweight and have broken free. But I cant. So instead I make eye contact. I smile. I sit next to them on the bus without hesitation. But it is a different life I am in now. Today I feel like I am physically invisible when walking those crowded streets, and that people are going to literally walk right into me if I dont step out of the way. I feel like they no longer see me; or maybe they are just no longer ill at ease. Maybe I am now like everyone else and I need to get the hell out of the way if I dont want to get run over. Robin McCoy was banded on February 3, 2004. She has reached her weight loss goal of 110 pounds. Robin is Vice-President and Senior Writer for Lapband Lifestyle, a resource and support group for LapBand patients. http://www.lapbandlifestyle.com robin@lapbandlifestyle.com Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Robin_McCoy http://EzineArticles.com/?Personal-Space:-Life-After-Lap-Band-Surgery&id=67621 american pharmacy phentermine where to buy phentermine without prescription phentermine 37.5 online buy phentermine with discover card

Downtown Atlanta Dentists

By Ken Marlborough The commercial hub of Atlanta, downtown Atlanta is an ever growing district. Looking at it now, one would find it hard to believe that the American Civil War witnessed the burning of Atlanta. The countless number of trees, buildings and people buzzing with activity are a treat for sore eyes. A place that holds so many attractions is bound to have busy commercial centres housed by all kinds of professionals offering their services to the people of Atlanta. So, one should easily be able to locate a good dentist here. Downtown Atlanta is the city’s major commercial and financial district. So the number of people spending their working hours here is quite high. And as the incidence of dental problems is also quite high the availability of dentists in this area is but natural. It would do well to keep in mind that in order to practice aesthetic dentistry or implantology a dentist does not require any training in addition to what he has already undergone during the course of his/her study. So if looking for someone to perform either of these two procedures you need to go by reputation and referrals rather than by qualifications. The more number of similar cases the dentist has taken care of, the more efficient he/she will be. If you have a low pain threshold check out whether the dental clinic you have approached has adequate facilities to provide you a suitable sedative. The sedative should suit both the procedure and you. If you have any known drug allergy be sure to tell it to the dentist beforehand.

10 Ways to Speed-Up Your Job Search Effort

By Dee Davis Today everyone knows at least one person who has lost their job to down-sizing, right-sizing, cut-backs, production reduction or a mean, vicious bogus leader who could care less about your family, your life or your existence at the company. This may sound a bit overboard, but everyone has probably experienced the manager, supervisor or company leader from hell, and if you havent just stick around. It is this type of leadership that is taking companies down the path of death and destruction. So whats a jobless person to do? First you must get organized and do a serious self examination. Look at the things you love to do, your gifts and talents. This is not fluff, you may be at the best time of your life if you are willing to get real and do some serious work. You cannot expect others to do this for you, you have to own the unemployment label, and decide where you want to go from here. Leave the pity party for later. Do you have a charismatic personality? Have you ever done sales? Cant live knowing that your life depends on you getting a commission? Try it. Yes, thats easy for me to say, but nothing ventured nothing gained and you should always have more faith in yourself than a bogus leader. It is unfair and foolish for employees today to think that their employer should always have their best interest in mind when planning company growth and expansion. The company leadership is looking out for the bottom line and thats all. In a perfect world they would care about workers, but this is not a perfect world its a global economy and its all about the Benjamins. Here are 10 things you must do before starting your job search: 1. Do an honest in-depth evaluation of your job skills. Take a serious look at your management, financial, communication, research and computer skills. 2. List all those transferable skills, for example, auditing, appraising, recruiting troubleshooting and organizing, and all those task that fit under the umbrella labeled other duties as directed. 3. When writing your resumes select your words carefully. Use only strong, positive points that are relevant to the job you are seeking. 4. Use skill titles and job headings that match the job you want. Unrelated job titles are a sure indication that you do not have knowledge about the position. 5. Consider doing contractual work. Just consider it. 6. Practice your interviewing skills before the actual interview, and master the one important aspect of nonverbal communicationeye contact. 7. Consider taking a job in an area outside your comfort zone. You might like it. 8. Remember to speak with those folks willing to act as a reference. Never assume that they will say positive things about you, call them and make sure your relationship is still sound. 9. Never email a cover letter as an attachment without a signature. Those cover letters without signatures are often the ones eliminated first. Use a scanner or email from a copy store i.e. Kinkos that will allow you to scan your signature and send a signed cover letter. 10. Keep track of all those positions you are applying for and make sure the people living with you are aware you are applying for positions so they answer the telephone with style and grace. You are a representation of the type of home your come from, so remind everyone to be professional. To learn more about bogus leaders visit http://www.paraview.com/features/bogus_leadership.htm . D.
