Quick and Easy Team Building Games to Incorporate Into Team Meetings

5 Simple Team Building Games

Team building games are quick, fun, easy to organise and cost effective. Below are five simple suggestions for activities that can be incorporated into part of a weekly or monthly team meeting.

Best Moments
 - A great way of introducing a little of everyones individual personality into the workplace, the Best Moments game is one of the more heart warming team building games. The group is asked to take a moment of silent contemplation and recall what they consider to be the best moment of their lives to date. The team then takes turns in regaling the rest of the room with their anecdote, whether amusing, triumphant or emotional. Being personal to each individual, it reveals a little something new about each person in turn.

The Newspaper Bridge
 - Possibly the best known of all team building games, the Newspaper Bridge (also commonly the Newspaper Tower) is excellent for teamwork and problem solving. The group is split into a number of small groups and presented with equal amounts of newspaper. Using nothing but the print and their brains, they are challenged to build a bridge (or tower). The strongest (or tallest) structure wins.

What Country Would You Be?
 - This little exercise challenges the creative mind, and the geography skills of its participants. Members of the team are put into pairs and are given a brief few minutes to learn as much about each other as possible. Each pair is then asked "If your partner were a country, what country would they be and why?" Often comical to say the least, this activity works as a fantastic icebreaker.

The Pasta Tower 
- Similar to the newspaper challenge, teams are supplied with dry spaghetti and some form of jelly sweets. With these tools, they are asked to build a structure of the highest heights. The team with the tallest standing structure are crowned the champions. To make this a little tougher, try waiting five minutes before the judges weigh in. Most structures wont stay standing for that long!

Work Related Pictionary
 - Everyone knows the classic party game of Pictionary but beyond its use as a fun pastime between friends, it is one of the best team building games to improve on group communication. Learning to draw the same conclusions from a selection of images allows the team to take their understanding of each other that little deeper. Making the task work related is an excellent way of building this understanding in a professional sense.

The above are some of the most common activities for team bonding. For a really uniting experience, why not challenge your workforce to come up with a series of team building games of their own?

Do You Intimidate Men And Put Them Off Before The Chase Even Begins

There are many gorgeous strong successful career women who say they find themselves quite lonely and would love to meet the right man but when they go on dates they rarely are asked for a second, and the relationships they get into do not last because men find them "intimidating".

Its true that SOME men -- especially those who consider such women out of their league-- find gorgeous strong successful career women "threatening" to their manhood but there is more to this than just "insecure" men.

Some gorgeous strong successful career women are wonderful well balanced and emotionally secure human beings who like most have the same difficulties common to all singles but made more difficult by their career and material success. Ive worked with some of these women and as soon as they learn how to ease men into seeing the "strong" them - the "career" them, they find themselves in relationships that are going somewhere - and VERY fast because they already have the "if-you-want-it-go-get-it-yourself" mindset and the skills for getting what they want.

But there are some women who use "men are intimidated by my success" to cover up male-alienating-behaviours that are so deep rooted that they dont even know they have them. First contact with them makes even me (a people-person) step back and wonder if I really want to get to know this person, which in turn makes me wonder if this is the way men they come in contact with feel. Some of them in the beginning come across as really nice fun loving women but soon or later the sarcastic, put-down, bitter, insecure, clingy, controlling, manipulative, selfish and self-interested, negative and desperate person hiding behind "men are intimidated by my success" comes out. And it is this --not the "success" -- that so many men have such a difficult time dealing with, even men who are successful in their own right.

Many women may not want to hear this but there is a HUGE difference between being a truly independent woman who can think for herself and is strong enough to stand on her own, wont take the abuse that an insecure man usually dishes out and is confident enough to allow a man to get close to her and a woman whose behaviour causes any man in his right senses to think twice about entering, pursuing or remaining in the relationship.

When it comes to meeting the right man and having the relationship of your dreams, true independence has little to do with looks, academic degrees, what youve been able to achieve career wise or materially and everything to do with how you truly feel on the inside. On the outside, you may appear to be warm, friendly, vibrant, intelligent and have a great sense of humour but the real you inside (the little girl afraid of rejection or abandonment crying out "Ill make you love me" or the hurt and angry b**** inside screaming "chew em up and spit em out") turns guys off before the chase even begins. Some really great guy might try to come close and try to stick around but after a while he too cant take it anymore.

Often times the very skills that make us very successful in a male-dominated work environment are the ones that dont work for us when it comes to love. Its finding that GREAT balance of masculine and feminine energies that is your key to the relationship of your dreams. And PLEASE for the nth time, femininity is not just about looking/dressing and "acting" feminine - its about embodying the whole essence of mother earth in all her magnificence and ageless beauty.

If you are looking to meet a man who is attracted to and is "turned on" mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually by a woman who challenges him on all those levels, the first place to start is within - and this time really BE open and honest with yourself as you work though your own insecurities, pain or skewed sexual programming.

Trust me, there are a lot of men who are so confident in who they are and so secure with themselves and would do ANYTHING (and without any bit of bitterness and resentment) to have "the whole package". I personally know many of these men.

The ones with serious insecurity issues will of course continue to be intimidated by you, but that is theirs to work on. Trying to adjust your life to them would be too much of unnecessary sacrifice - and frankly, ITS NOT WORTH IT!

How To Escape The Final Stages Of Breaking Up

As we know very few people suddenly break up. There is usually a series of stages of breaking up that all couples go through. If it comes as a shock, you probably have the reason why you were dumped. You weren’t paying attention to what was happening between you and your partner. Otherwise you would have spotted he/she wasn’t happy, was ignoring you and doing their best not to spend time with you.

We all get caught up in our own thing from time to time and this isn’t usually a problem. But when your partner sees less of you than your friends and other family,it can highlight an issue in your relationship. If you do spend time together but are always fighting, you need to stop and break that cycle. Constant arguing achieves nothing and although initially it is fun making up, it can come to a point where you don’t bother trying.

Does your partner trust you? Do you trust them? Lack of trust is also a symptom of a partnership in trouble. If you always second guess your lover or expect to know where they are all the time, they will soon see that this isn’t love and may move on. If you are behaving like this, you need to stop right now. Unless your spouse has given you reason not to trust them, you should believe in them and have faith that they will do the right thing.

Are you on the same wavelength as your other half? Do they share your happy feelings and commiserate when you are down or feeling low? Couples who instinctively, know how the other is feeling, will overcome most of the hurdles that life can throw at us.

Does your lover share your interests and hobbies? If she has made an effort to get involved, this is a sign that she really cares about you. No-one expects her to join you for your 5am fishing trips but if she seems interested in listening to your stories about what you caught, what size it was, that is a good sign.

Your partner may have asked for a trial separation. Ok, so sometimes this is just an easy way of saying “you are dumped but I can’t say that!” But it doesn’t always have to mean this. Things can go wrong between two people and only time apart will help them to resolve the issues.

So if your lover does suggest this, agree but ask that they come to counselling with you. Show them that you do not want the relationship to end as they mean too much to you. Try not to put pressure on them and do not resort to emotional blackmail. You cannot force someone to love you but you can turn a bad situation into something a lot worse by appearing desperate or manipulative.

True love is based on understanding and respect. Showing your partner that you know this is a great way to avoid the final stages of breaking up.

LET GO !

ONE SIMPLE TECHNIQUE TO CLEAR YOUR RESISTANCE ON A STUCK DESIRE ! 

When we say "Let Go of things" we are not even by a long shot referring to your desires , we are referring to The things that are keeping your desire away from you. And to let those things go, we have a small exercise for you.

 
Find a comfortable place where you cant be disturbed for a while and , close your eyes. Now take a few deep breaths , concentrate on the cool air going in your nose and the warm air coming out , this will help to clear your mind of any thoughts . you are ready now.

"We want you to imagine a beautiful garden , just be in that garden for a while , notice the flowers the warmth of the sun and the butterflies. in the middle of the garden there is a cottage. approach the cottage and open the door. inside its dark , but you see a child.. you look closer , the child is you , when you were 5 years old. You notice that the child is scared . you gently approach the child and really gently comfort him and ask him what is wrong , and what is he / she afraid of ? (now in this conversation you can talk to the child on the subject of a desire thats been keeping away from you for a while , a desire thats proving a little hard to achieve). The child will tell you all of the things that has hurt him regarding the desire , all of the things he fears , and of the reasons why the desire cant be achieved . Now being the self aware and knowledgeable LOAer you know that tackling all these fears and reasons is no big deal for the universe. Your job is to comfort and let the child know this . convince him , that he no longer needs to fear his fears because the universe is looking out for him and that his desire will be fulfilled as soon as he leaves this darkness and steps out in the garden to enjoy it. "ALL THAT MATTERS IS HOW YOU VIBRATE IN THE PRESENT MOMENT, WHAT HAPPENED IN THE PAST WAS JUST A RESULT OF YOUR BAD VIBRATION , BUT NOW YOU KNOW BETTER. SO JUST LET GO OF ANGER , FEAR , GUILT , DOUBT AND VIBRATE AS IF YOU WOULD VIBRATE WHEN YOU WILL HAVE YOUR DESIRE. " Make him understand this, Talk to him , comfort him , give him a hug , answer all his doubts with your wisdom of the universe. and then when he begins to feel better about the "off limit desire" , Walk him out of the cottage and enjoy the sights. 

 
Once you start feeling better on the topic that you have been feeling stuck for so long , the process is done , take a few deep breaths and open your eyes. 

 
We would recommend you do this exercise right before you go to sleep. 
Happy cleansing !!

DEBT AND LAW OF ATTRACTION !

First off all , lets not argue about "but from where the money will come ?" , its none of your business ! , its the universes business , so you just sit pretty while the universe finds a way to come up with the Money .For my more skeptical friends , Please relax and let the universe show you , "How the money is going to come. "

Now that being said , we can move on to the topic at hand , that is DEBT ! 

Being is Debt is bad , being constantly chased by creditors is annoying and at the same time takes toll over our self esteem and image.  

Many of us have at some point in our life have found ourselves in debt , we owe money , and we dont have enough to pay back . And believe me , i know , this feeling sucks , especially if you are not an habitual defaulter.

Many people ask me about law of attraction and Money , can LOA be used to manifest money , can it help them to clear off their debts ?

The Answer is Yes ! it can ! But , like any application of LOA , it can be really easy or really difficult to implement , depends on your current mindset. 

Now look at "Settlement of Debt" as a need , so when applying LOA on this matter , we calculate the amount of money we need to settle the debt and ask the universe to deliver through visualization , imagination , listing out things to be thankful for and stuff , if these work for you , then just close this page , because you are An LOA Master and you dont need to be here , go enjoy your money , but if these dont work , read on.

The universe manifests the essence of your desires by picking up on your emotions and feelings. So sometimes concentrating on an "BIG Amount of money to pay off your debt , when there is no obvious source of income in sight , can be a little difficult , it can also , evoke Negative emotions of doubt and uncertainty. 

SO whats the alternative ?

Its. simple , we take the money factor out of the manifestation. Just listen to me for a second ,before lighting the torches and picking up your pitchforks .  Its simple , 

"The manifestation we are aiming for is Debt settlement not manifesting Money ! "

Let me explain with an example ....

Meet Steve , Steve has lost his job due to something inevitable. And now with no monthly income to support him , Steve is facing a Huge Credit card Outstanding , lets say USD 30000 ! Maybe he bought a Train for all i care , but the truth is he is in debt , and he has no way of paying it off in the future . Now he can declare bankruptcy and get the credit card people off his back , but lets be honest , declaring Bankruptcy isnt cheap . that will be the last nail in the coffin. 

What Steve needs to do is to address the elephant in the room , or better , imagine the room without the elephant ! 

The need here is to settle the debt , and the only logical solution Steves brain is giving him is "Get some Money" But with the bad market and all (again a belief of Steves Brain) it seems impossible at the moment. So what does he do ? He leaves it to the universe. 

What Steves Brain doesnt understand is that the HOW of this manifestation will be taken care off by the universe , who has access to all the 3600 Thousand Trillion Dollars on the earth , And Steves Debt is a measly 0.0000000000000001 % of that wealth. So all Steve has to do now is concentrate on the feeling he is going to feel while he is repaying the Debt. 

So, Steve sits Down , and He relaxes , He Takes deep breaths and he remembers the fact that he is the creator of his own experience in this reality  . And he Asks himself ....

              "How will i feel , when this debt is paid ? " 

What does this debt settlement stand for , the answer is simple , RELAXATION  ! Steve will be able to finally relax once the debt is paid . and through that Relaxation will come Happiness. 

Knowing this Steve now , imagines that he is paying his debt off, he is writing a cheque , and he is handing it over to the people he owes money , or he is Transferring funds from his account and paying off all his debt , and while doing so , a feeling of relaxation is sweeping over him. Now he is no longer under debt , and great burden is off his shoulders and he is feeling free and light and  mildly elated. He keeps feeling these feelings , looses track of time , drifts off to sleep.
 

Next Morning he wakes up , freshens up , sits down with a pen and paper , Writes down ....

"Thank you universe for such an amazing resolution , i feel so free and light , now that i have cleared off all my debts . And the best part , there is money left with me after , to help me start over again. Thank you universe for taking care of me ! " 

He spends the day without a care in the world and in the evening , receives a text that his account has been debited with 60000 USD . 

So folks what did we learn ?

1. Its the feelings that matter. SO find a way to feel "That way". 

2. You manifestation aint in the future , its now , when asking for a desire , act as if you have it "NOW"

3. The universe is Generous , it will give you more than you could have ever imagined or expected. 

4. Its possible for you to feel "That way" without an actual manifestation. 

5. Goal setting is good , but Dont be stuck on a date , Maybe the universe wants to deliver it ahead of time. 

6. When ever you are imagining or visualizing , Do it in the Present tense , do it as if you have everything now. Your imagination is your happy place , you are not bound by physical limitations , so go Nuts ! 

 
pS. This Example was based of a real experience of one of the readers. :)

Fate A Kris Kristofferson and Johnny Cash Story

There are many factors that can contribute to the success of a singers or songwriters music. Things such as Talent, Ability, and Persistence are a must. But one of the things that few artists think of is something called FATE.

And so Im going to tell you a story about one of my most favorite songwriters, Kris Kristofferson. He is a great songwriter because he can phrase words such as Lay your head upon my pillow, Hold your warm and tender body close to mine, Hear the whisper of the raindrops, Blow softly against my window, Make believe you love me one more time. Those eloquent words are from his song "For the Good Times."

Back when Kris was struggling as a songwriter while working as a janitor at Sun Records he was always trying to get anyone to record his songs. When Johnny Cash was at Sun doing recordings, the management told Kris not to bother Johnny. From time to time Kris would slip one of his songs to one of Johns associates to give to Johnny and see if he was interested in recording it. Kris would never get much of a response and the typical reply was that Johnny hadnt gotten to it yet.

Eventually, along Kriss life journey he got a job as a helicopter pilot as he had some of that experience in the military. During that time, even though he was frustrated, he was determined to get one of his songs to Johnny. So lo and behold, what does he do? He takes a helicopter and flies over to Johnnys house and lands right on the back yard lawn. Obviously people came out of the house and asked, whats going on here? And Kris said to Johnny, Im a songwriter and Ive been trying to get one of my songs that Ive written to you to see if there was any interest in it. Up to now I havent had much success.

Well without getting into a long story Johnny did record the song which was "Sunday Morin Comin Down" and it did become a big hit.

This of course leads to my wondering about the workings of FATE and questioning whether maybe some of our lifes events are already planned out for us. Look how long Kris had to wait before it finally clicked for him and then it happened in that very unusual way. Who knows, but in this case one cant help but wonder since It wasnt his time until it was his time.

In any event Im glad that FATE was there so that all of us can enjoy the words of one of the best songwriters there is today, Kris Kristofferson. His hits like "For the Good Times, Me and Bobby McGee, Help Me Make it Through The Night, and Why Me" along with so many others will live on for many years to come.

How to Look After Turtles

Hey, I am Torty the tormented turtle and I stay as a pet in your terrapinarium. I am from a very respectable and well known family which can proudly declare to be the oldest surviving creatures of this planet! My ancestors inhabited this earth about 215 million years back, much before your forefathers; I mean the first human being appeared on it. Believe it or not, the enormous, fierce, and elegant dinosaurs were their next door neighbors!

But here, right now, I am sorry to pronounce that I am not happy at all. Everyday you watch me to have a great fun while I swim and glide back and forth inside the tank, but do you really have any concern for me? Do you love me? No, I suppose! Today let me tell you frankly that you do not take proper care of me at all. Day in and day out I suffer from various ailments just due to lack of your attention.

Unfortunately I can not express my pain and agony because God has not given me a vocal cord. I can not even scream for any help and suffer mutely from terrible pains. My tear blends silently with the awfully dirty water of the tank which you hardly cleaned or filtered.

But are you bothered for that? No, not at all! I am hurt and helpless and in real trouble, just because of your negligence! Well, it is said, to err is human and being a human you are also likely to commit error. Let me forgive this time and give a fair chance you.

I sincerely hope you will follow the guidelines given below and change your attitude henceforth:

Keep my surroundings and the tank water clean.
Provide balanced diet to keep me out of deficiency diseases.
While handling, hold me gently but firmly but please dont drop me on the floor.
I need a heater, a UV light, and a basking platform fitted in the tank as I am a cold blooded animal and cannot tolerate winter chill. Else I may hibernate!
While I hibernate, keep watching me to observe any unusual change.

Always consult a veterinary doctor in case you see the following symptoms:

Red and swollen eyes, breathing trouble, difficulty in swimming, loss of appetite, nasal secretions, bleeding wounds, soft and leathery carapace, or cracks on the shell.

For Gods sake try to be a loving and caring pet owner!

Even if any of these don’t seem like your “cup of tea”- maybe, just maybe they will get your creative juices flowing and you can find your “thing.”

1. Send a bouquet. Whether it’s flowers or a balloon bouquet, if you time this right this can help you make a real, romantic impression with your ex.

3. Ask your ex on a date, but make it clear there’s no pressure. You just want to spend some time together as friends. Choose a very low-pressure and fun place like the zoo, an arcade or one of those pizza parlors with the arcade games and singing characters that are aimed at kids.

4. Write a love letter. Writing a letter will let you express yourself in ways you might not be comfortable doing face to face. Tell your ex just how much you care and what they mean to you. But remember that everything you write down can be read by other people besides your ex.

5. Write a poem. Writing poetry to your ex is sort of like writing a love letter. It can be much more romantic if you say the right things. Don’t underestimate the power of humor.

7. Ask your ex out on a theme date. Eat spaghetti and watch The Lady and the Tramp. Eat hamburgers, fries and shakes and watch American graffiti. The point is to plan something fun and lighthearted.

8. Take your ex with you to an animal shelter and spend an afternoon walking the dogs and playing with the cats.

9. Go to an amusement park together. Ride the scariest rides and have your pictures taken with your faces sticking in the holes of those wooden cutouts that make you look goofy. Have fun without pressure on your ex about getting back together.

Unconditional Love and Romantic Love Do Not Mix

Every time someone speaks of unconditional love in the same context with romantic love, it raises the hairs of my neck. These two do not and should not mix. Romantic love is always, and should always be conditional. Unconditional love is reserved for ones children only - even the children cannot and should not love their parents unconditionally, even though the parents hope they would.

Lets back up a bit. Unconditional love is not superior to conditional love, far from it! Conditional love definitely feels better to the person receiving it, because they earned it. From the recipients point of view, unconditional love is cheap. Since it comes to you unconditionally, you dont have to earn it, and what you dont have to earn is cheap. When romantic love is confused with unconditional love, what it means is that since there are no conditions, your lover can just pick up and transfer their unconditional love to anyone else - because there are no conditions. In romantic love, that should never be the case.

The essence of unconditional love is: "No matter what you say, do, think or are I will always love you. You cannot sway my love from you, and it will be forever." Beautiful, isnt it? However, this kind of statement should never be made to anyone but to your own children. Your children cant say that back to you, because there are tons of conditions for their love for you, and there should be, starting from physical or sexual abuse: "If you abuse me, I will not love you." The same goes with romantic love, both ways. "If you cheat on me, I will no longer love you." Or "If you beat me up, I will stop loving you and start fearing you." To even get to the position of lovers, there are countless of conditions to pass: "I will love you if I find you sexually attractive." "I will love you if you laugh at my jokes." You get the basic idea. When romantic love turns unconditional, it is half way to an abusive relationship. "I no longer care if you talk to me without respect, if you hit me every time you see me or cheat on me; I will still remain strong in my love for you. You can treat me as badly as you can, and my love wont sway from you."

Romantic love, even though it has conditions, can and will forgive flaws. You may be well aware of your spouses annoying habits, but because he or she fills up your conditions for your love, you wont care that much. And since you know that there are conditions for his or her love for you, you will remain respectful, loving and caring; because you know he or she can just pick up and leave if you fail to meet their conditions. When we start expecting unconditional love from our spouses, that is when we start giving ourselves permissions to talk to them without respect, nag, treat them like children or inferior, and that is not a good way to go about a relationship, dont you agree?

If a lover of mine would tell me he loves me unconditionally, I would not like it one bit. Not one single bit. That would mean that whatever I was, whatever my personality was like, whatever I treated him like, wouldnt matter. Somehow he picked me as his girlfriend, and now he loves me unconditionally - without a reason. As lovers, dont we often ask our lovers the question: "Why do you love me?" And the answers are so sweet to hear. We want to hear our lover has reasons for loving us - unconditional love doesnt have such reasons. If it was a question of unconditional love, the answer would simply be: "Because youre my girlfriend." Although "because I am your mother" is a good answer, "because youre my girlfriend" is a horrible answer, dont you agree?

Top 20 Temptations Hits

Americas all-time favorite soul group got their start in 1960. In 1961, they recorded for the Miracle label under the name of The Elgins and The Primes.

The original lineup featured Eddie Kendricks, Paul Williams, Melvin Franklin, Otis Williams (no relation to member Paul) and Eldridge Bryant.

In 1961, Berry Gordy signed the group to Motown, but since there was already an active group known as The Elgins, they changed their name to The Temptations.

When David Ruffin, cousin of Billy Stewart, replaced Bryant in 1964, thats when the hits started coming. Although Ruffin sang lead on many of their hits, the other members shared leads on some of their other songs.

Ruffin, who was causing friction among the other group members and Motown chief, Berry Gordy, was fired from the group in 1968. Kendricks left the group in 1970 after internal problems resulted in arguments over leadership of the group. Both singers returned for the 1982 "Reunion" album.

On the charts, The Temptations scored 37 times on the Billboard Top 40 weekly charts between 1964 and 1975. Four times they went to number one and many of their songs have been covered by other artists.

Kendricks and Ruffin both had successful solo careers with Ruffin having three Top 20 Billboard hits and Kendricks having four, with "Keep On Truckin" going to number one.

Here are The Temptations 20 biggest hits, according to the Billboard weekly Top 40 charts.

1. I Cant Get Next To You - 1969

2. Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me) - 1971 - Eddie Kendricks last single as lead singer with the group.

3. Papa Was A Rolling Stone - 1972 - The Temptations last number one song and a nearly 12 minute album version was reduced to a seven minute single version.

4. My Girl - 1965 - Their first number one single and written and produced by Smokey Robinson.

5. Im Gonna Make You Love Me - 1969 - The Temptations teamed up with the Supremes on this single which was a Top 30 hit for Madeline Bell in 1968.

6. Ball Of Confusion (Thats What The World Is Today) - 1970

7. Beauty Is Only Skin Deep - 1966

8. I Wish It Would Rain - 1968 - Gladys Knight and the Pips recorded this in 1967, but didnt do as well as the Temptations, who took it to #4.

9. Cloud Nine - 1969

10. Runaway Child, Running Wild - 1969

11. Youre My Everything - 1967

12. Masterpiece - 1973

13. Psychedelic Shack - 1970 - This song introduced the world to "psychedelic soul." It was also a featured song, with the group singing it, in an opening sequence of the television comedy "Moonlighting."

14. (I Know) Im Losing You - 1966 - Rare Earth went Top 10 with this song in 1970 and Rod Stewart and Faces also covered it in 1971.

15. All I Need - 1967

16. The Way You Do The Things You Do - 1964 - Their first hit single and covered by Rita Coolidge in 1978, Hall and Oates along with David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks in a medley in 1985 and UB40, going Top 10 with it in 1990.

17. Aint Too Proud To Beg - 1966 - The Rolling Stones took this song into the Top 20 in 1974.

18. I Could Never Love Another (After Loving You) - 1968

19. My Baby - 1966 - Another song written and produced by Smokey Robinson.

20. (Loneliness Made Me Realize) Its You That I Need - 1967

The Temptations were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989. A four hour television miniseries, "The Temptations", based on an autobiography by band member Otis Williams, was broadcast in 1998.

Although only one original member is still with the group, The Temptations continue to tour and bring their great sound to many fans.

LETTING GO OF FEAR !

Fear 
Why do we Fear Stuff? Why do we fear stuff that is not even there? And why do we Fear stuff by assuming that there is something to fear?

We fear stuff because we think that the ‘Stuff” is uncertain, and by extension ‘out of our control’, and by fearing it and mentally preparing ourselves for it beforehand, we think that we are trying to control that ‘out of our control stuff’.

But what are we doing really? We are creating that uncertain stuff by fearing it. When you fear something your mind focuses on that something, and by law, what you focus on expands. Now many of you would have taken up a razor to your wrist, just after reading this, coz this, to many of you would mean that you would be going on about in circles for the foreseeable future. 

You fear , you create , you fear, you create. The cycle goes on… 

Put the razor Down! your life is awesome! You can be happy! Just read on.

So, why has fearing stuff become a habit? Or why does it seem like the default setting. Because with fear is associated the ‘pain’ of getting ‘Hurt’, either ‘Physical’ or ‘emotional’ hurt. 

And as long as you are not a Sado-masochist, you don’t really enjoy pain, and so you fear everything that is there to give you pain, physical or emotional. 

But, then why does anything bad exist? Why is there a hell to your heaven, and devil to your god, loneliness to your perfect relationship, poverty to your prosperity? Let’s call these extreme negatives, and the reason that they exist is so that we can fully appreciate the extreme positives. 

You can’t experience great love without having your heart broken a few times, you cant appreciate your prosperity and reach your full potential, unless you know the pain of poverty and failure. You cannot fully appreciate the existence of good if you haven’t seen the bad. 

And that is the true purpose of all that is bad. To make you appreciate the good. 

That’s the message! “Appreciate the good, Focus on it, Feel it, day in day out, and only good will be created for you” 

Now with that being said, you will ask me, how do we stay away from the bad then? It seems to come by in large doses, and usually follow something good, making it worst?

Well , you know how the universal “law of attraction” states, whatever you focus on Grows, so is the growth of good and bad in your life is regulated. 

Look back, see all the bad that has happened, A break up, a loss of job, personal loss, just look at it and look at the your emotions preceding that event, and then apply the ‘What I focus on expands’ rule to this. And tell me you weren’t anticipating the bad thing. 

But I was anticipating, because I wanted to prevent it. You say. I have had bad experiences in the past, Men are pigs, Women are Vampires, and money is hard to come by, I know a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend who went through this. And yet with all this knowledge you landed yourself in that bad situation? You didn’t prevent anything. All you did was focus on a bad thing for so long that you invited it to your own life. 

Don’t you see what you did here? You just created the ‘very thing’ by focusing on ‘not creating it’, There is no such thing as a ‘I don’t want it’ with the universe. Its all focus. And when you think that you are focused on preventing something from happening, you are actually just creating the very thing for yourself. 

Bad things exist because we acknowledge their existence by focusing on ‘not wanting them’. 

So what is the moral of this story right here? You create the good, and you create the bad. And so it’s all under your control, and if it is all under your control, then you choose to not create a bad thing for yourself, by holding in your head its exact opposite, the good thing. 

You don’t want to be alone anymore? Focus on being loved; appreciate whatever love that you are receiving right now. Realize what matters. It’s your happiness that is the most important thing in the world, and focus on whatever that makes you truly happy, that is what your life is all about. 

“But I have to know about all that is evil, so I can guard myself against it.” 

No! the best way to guard yourself is to ‘not’ let it into your conciseness. You think that you are guarding yourself against a break up, guarding yourself from getting hurt, or failure or harm, but getting hurt and failure and suffering is what you are really creating. 

When all that is evil in the world in under your control. When you can at any point choose to invite or not invite or throw out the bad things, by simply changing your focus. Then why are you still fearful about ‘stuff’ jumping out, creeping in, unexpectedly into your life? Congratulations, you have just eliminated Fear.

Steps on How to Save a Relationship

Jim works long hours and Lisbet doesn’t feel he is there for her. Lisbet spends all of her time meeting the children’s needs and Jim feels that she doesn’t have time for his needs? Can this relationship be saved? Should it be saved? Here’s how to save a relationship.

Image via Wikipedia

First, you must decide whether the relationship is worth saving. While almost every relationship can be saved with hard work, both parties must decide that they want to make it work. Because if a partner has opted out and doesn’t want to opt back in, there is little that can be done.

Many people stay in a relationship because it is convenient or remain in a marriage because of the children. But that is not enough. How to save a relationship starts with a commitment by both parties that the relationship is worth saving.

Next, you must pinpoint the problem or problems in a relationship. One of the biggest problems in how to save a relationship is that people believe the symptoms of the problem are the problem itself.

For instance, many people think an affair is a problem that causes break ups. In truth, the affair is a symptom of a deeper problem. For instance, a lack of true intimacy can lead to a straying spouse. While most people look at the affair as the problem, the underlying cause of the affair was the lack of intimacy in the primary relationship. If you do not deal with the lack of intimacy, you might be able to keep another affair from starting through the use of guilt, but another problem (for instance pornography) could pop up because you haven’t dealt with the core issue.

When you start to deal with core issues rather than symptoms, you can save the relationship.

Once you have identified the core problems, you can begin to share your thoughts. This means both verbalizing your own feelings and listening to your partner’s concerns. Hold your partner’s had when you are talking about your problems as a signal that you want to reconnect even when your emotions are swirling. When your partner talks about things that hurt you remember that he or she is not doing it because he or she wants to hurt you. Rather it is because they want to improve the relationship.

Once you have detailed the problems in your relationship, create an action plan to solve them. Then, take concrete steps on your action plan. If you don’t spend time together like you used to, plan a date night every week. Take turns coming up with creative ways to spend an evening together each Wednesday. If not communicating is the problem, commit to spending 20 minutes before going to bed just talking to one another. And, then do it.

Finally, you should realize that saving a relationship is an ongoing process. You are going to take two steps forward only to take one step back. There is going to be both laughter and tears going forward. Be quick to apologize and slow to blame.

Is your relationship worth saving? Feel free to leave your comments below ..

Anger and Jelousy

Every generation establishes its own standard of beauty. Women throughout history have been made immortal through printed word, paintings, sculptures, photography and film. The Mona Lisa, Venus De Milo, May West, Elizabeth Taylor, Cindy Crawford, and my favorite Halle Berry, are worshipped for their features and form. Men clamor to be in their presence. These women have been envied by men and praised by their peers. Helen of Troy was one of such women. She is described as perhaps the most inspired character in all Greek literature. They called her Helen, "the face that launched a thousand ships." Every red-blooded male in Greece who had heard of the gorgeous Helen, dreamed of possessing her. A whole war, one that lasted for ten years, was fought over her. Kings risked their kingdoms to have her. Those who could not have her became fueled with jealousy. All the while she gloried in it all.

According to Wikapedia The free encyclopedia, Marilyn Monroe, another famed beauty in history allegedly had affairs with: Joe Dimagio President John F. Kennedy, Henry Fonda, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Peter Lawford, Marlon Brando, Howard Keel, Jerry Lewis, Clark Gable, Howard Hughes, Yves Montand, Milton Berle and Elia Kazan. It has also been alleged she had a one-night stand with Joan Crawford.

Monroe was found dead by her live in house keeper, Mrs. Eunice Marray in the bedroom of her Brentwood, California home on August 5, 1962. Monroe was thirty-six years old. Her death was apparently caused by an overdose of barbiturates, although as with the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, several theories have sprung up.

Crimes of passion flood our popular media today, from movies like Fatal Attraction to the real life court sagas of the O.J. Simpson trial.

"Love sees sharply, hatred sees even more sharp, but jealousy sees the sharpest for it is love and hate at the same time." -Arab Proverb

In the past, it was the image of the restrictive and abusive husband that came to mind when speaking of jealousy and relationships, but the tables are turning. This green-eyed monster called jealousy has devoured many women as well.

Shantes Story

The two women...both in their early 20s struggled on the concrete walkway outside a South Central Los Angeles apartment building. Residents necks stretched outside their windows searching for the screams and expletives. It is still uncertain where the knife came from. The two women scratched and kicked. Shante claims she blacked out and then found herself holding a bloody knife, staring down at the woman who broke up her home. Later, she would discover that she had stabbed her husbands mistress seven times. Confused by betrayal, fear and rage, Shante took off running in a psychotic sprint, leaving her one- year-old son and cheating husband behind.

Six months later, Shante was stopped by the police for failing to yield at a stop sign. After the officer discovered a warrant in her name, she was promptly placed under arrest. Due to a rare occurrence of grace and favor from the criminal justice system, Shante was released from jail after two weeks. She was placed on probation and ordered to attend only twenty-four hours of anger management.

I dont approve of this type of the violent and jealous act committed by Shante. But after hearing her life story I could understand how and why she did it. Maybe her Superior Court judge experienced the same empathetic moment I did.

Shantes grandmother raised her. At five- years- old she was abandoned mother, a young drug addict and prostitute. At twelve, a family member sexually abused Shante. At sixteen, her grandmother died. She was forced to move away from her childhood friends, change schools and live with a distant aunt. Shantes aunt had five children of her own and was now housing Shante and her two younger siblings. Being of babysitting age Shante, quickly became the secondary caregiver for seven children. In sixteen years, she had already experienced more abuse and abandonment than most would experience in their entire lifetime. She was depressed and loosing a grip on her sanity. That is when she met James. He was twenty-years-old and quickly became her best friend and confidant, her father and teacher, her lover and first love, her savior. Within a six-months, they were living together and three years later they were married and expecting a child.

For a year or two she clung to James, even knowing he was cheating on her. She vowed to hold on to her family with her life. She told herself as long as I dont have to see or hear about these other women I will be ok. But when her husbands mistress boldly knocked on the door for an evening rendezvous something inside her snapped.

It is important for you to recognize that jealousy is more about your insecurities than the infidelity of your mate. The jealous person may act out a very wide range of responses: clinging dependency, violent rage at the competitor or the partner, self-criticism, depression with suicidal thoughts, hurt and resentment of the partners lack of devotion and resistance, social embarrassment, revenge, loneliness, and regrets.

Needless to say, the best protection against jealousy is a good relationship. In addition to having a good relationship, make sure your self-esteem is intact before a pending break up. Understand that you are a worthy individual, in or out of a relationship. Tell yourself, "I am a valuable, lovable person regardless of whether you love me or not. It hurts, but I can handle it. I will get on with my life." Sometimes the best way to get over a broken heart is to begin carefully looking for a better relationship. You may also need some time alone.

Some simple techniques to deal with the pain of a broken relationship may include: staying active. You may want to try hiking, swimming or going to the gym. Distract yourself with friends, activities and hobbies. There are several groups that cater to singles. These groups vary from crocheting to deep sea diving. You may also want to commit yourself to work. You can use the extra time to build your business or work on a promotion. If you do nothing else take some time for self-evaluation and improvement. Working on you is the best investment you can ever make.

Relationship Breakup Dont Be Blindsided

Relationship breakup, what are the signs? Are you worried that your relationship is getting ready to crash and burn? Not sure what signs you should be on the lookout for? No one likes to be blindsided. Being blindsided always results in pain whether physical or emotional. Even if your relationship ends, the pain will be a little less if you can see it coming and brace for impact. There are some signs that all may not be well on the home front, if you keep your eyes open.

The first thing you need to remember is that we are usually pretty good at lying to ourselves. We are remarkably adept at keeping the blinders firmly in place if removing them would be to face certain pain. In the long run though you only do more harm than good by ignoring the inevitable. Its best to see things clearly, if you do you may actually have a chance to change the direction your relationship is taking and prevent the breakup.

Here are some signs that you need to keep an eye out for:

1. If you and your partner used to be joined at the hip but all of a sudden they seem to have a lot of more important things to do, you may be headed for a breakup. Of course, dont be a twit and ignore the fact that they just got a promotion and theyre a lot busier at work. If they dont have a reasonable excuse for their sudden absence you may want to sit them down and have a talk with them to try and figure out what is going on.

Make sure that you ask them what the problem is and not accuse them of anything. If you accuse them of something and they are just feeling a little down or overwhelmed you may just give them cause to end the relationship. Be careful to not come off defensively. Stay calm and rational when you talk to them.

2. Does your better half suddenly seem to need a lot of privacy? If their habits change and they become much more private it could be a sign that they are talking to someone and they dont want you to know. If they are suddenly leaving the room to talk on their cell phone, or they are taking their laptop into the other room, you may want to ask them, nicely, whats going on. If they say nothing that might well be your answer since its obvious that their behavior has changed and if they dont have a good reason why it could be that there isnt a good reason. Again, though, give them the benefit of the doubt. Youd look awfully stupid if you accused them of something when all they were doing was planning a great anniversary trip or surprise birthday party.

3. Sex, do you still have it as often as you once did? Is there a change in who initiates it? If your partner used to always want sex and suddenly they just dont seem interested, it could be a sign that they have found someone else. Of course, it could also be a sign that theyre tired, overwhelmed, depressed, etc. Dont jump to conclusions, just ask.

Many times the signs of a relationship breakup are pretty easy to spot, as long as youre not so afraid to see them that you ignore them. By spotting them early youve got a much better shot at dealing with whatever the issues are before the actual breakup. You might just be able to save your relationship by keeping your eyes wide open.

Getting Ex Back will require Patience And Understanding

  Relationships take work,  they are by no means simple.  In order for a couple to make a long lasting relationship they have to work at keeping one another happy.  There are differences and obstacles that can trip up any relationship.  There can even be times when the relationship seems over and you go your own ways,  it is at times such as this you wonder how to get ex back.

In many cases a break-up is the result of a simple difference of opinions.  Communication and jealousy make a big portion of the obstacles that need to be overcome to ensure a relationship to sort out.  Regardless of what the issue might have been,  almost always there is a way to work it out if both parties want it bad enough.  It isnt until they are gone,  that we truly appreciate them.

 More often than not it will take one person to leave for the other to realize how important they were in their lives and how unique their relationship is.  Often we love someone the most after they leave.  If we try hard enough we could figure out how to get ex back ,  but it will require learning to understand them and what they bring to the relationship.

 Before you can make an effort to win this person back you will need to realize that what happened caused some damage and it will take time to undo the damage for the two of you.  No matter who was at fault,  what matters is that you are willing to take the first step to make things right and hopefully get your ex back.  In case you get into it still blaming the other you’ll not be successful at reconciling your relationship.

 Keep in mind that whatever the specific situation was that broke you up;  chances are you both were hurt.  This means you will have to give them time to get past the specific situation.  If theyre not ready to move on and try again then you will not be able to convince them otherwise.  You need to show them that you are there for them and will be waiting until they are ready.

 By giving them time and starting back as friends it is possible to get them back by doing the same things you did to win them over in the first place.  After they have had time to heal and they see that you still care,  they will most likely be willing to try to work things out.  Remember that you will need to convince them that what happened before won’t happen again.

Love is a Verb and Actions Speak Louder Than Words

I have always believed love was a verb - an active word - a word that required action, not just quotes. What good does it say to say, "I love you" if there are no actions involved? Do you mean, "I love you but I dont have time for you"? Has the phrase become meaningless like,"Lets do lunch sometime"?

I have tried to teach all of my children that actions speak louder than words. So a recent conversation with one of my grown children was extremely upsetting to me. This child said, "Just because I dont call you doesnt mean I dont love you." Really? Given what this child knows about me and my recent circumstances, it seems odd not to get a quick phone call to say, "How are you, Mom?" I know its not due to a generation gap because I have other children who understand actions speak louder than empty words.

For decades I have had the following poem hanging on my wall. The author is unknown, but during the 80s and 90s when I had it posted on my Music And Words website, I must have had thirty emails from people claiming to be the author of it. I purchased it during the 70s on a beautiful plaque, and the plaque said the author was unknown. Ive searched for years to find if anyone has copyrighted it, which doesnt necessarily mean the copyright holder is the author (example: Happy Birthday Song was copyrighted by a woman who did not write the song). Ive found no copyright, so author is still unknown.

I offer it with the invitation to copy it, use it, and live by it. All of us will die someday, and those left behind will treasure the poem.

If youre ever going to love me love me now, while I can know

All the sweet and tender feeling which from real affection flow.

Love me now, while I am living; do not wait till I am gone

And then chisel it in marble-- warm love words on ice-cold stone.

If youve dear, sweet thought of me, why not whisper them to me?

Dont you know twould make me happy and as glad as glad could be?

If you wait till I am sleeping, neer to waken here again,

Therell be walls of earth between us and I couldnt here you then.

If you knew someone was thirsting for a drop of water sweet

Would you be slow to bring it? Would you step with laggard feet?

There are tender hearts all round us who are thirsting for our love;

Why withhold from them what nature makes them crave all else above?

I wont need your kind caresses when the grass grows oer my face;

I wont crave your love or kisses in my last low resting place.

So, then, if you love me any, if its but a little bit,

Let me know it now while living; I can own and treasure it.
