I used to think that too much self-love would make me weak. That more self-compassion would make me selfish. That prioritizing my own mental health would make me self-centered. That I would no longer get anything done, that I would become less generous or isolated if I losened a little, from that constant pushing. But the more I soften towards myself, the more I have to give, that realization lands deeper and deeper in me.

For me, self-love today is mainly about a continuously softening inner dialogue. To always remind myself that I am love, just like everyone else, and that I deserve unconditional love. And the more I give myself what I need most, gentleness, the more it spills over to others. Because my true self, without walls and self-defense, is generous and full of love.

"We risk our lives playing this game and sometimes you don't think something like that could happen," Henry said. "I told the team to be grateful for every day, for this game, and life in general. Because nothing is promised to us, anything can happen in the blink of an eye. Always give God thanks for what you have. As a kid we wanted to play this game and live this dream, but sometimes it gets hard, life gets hard. But at the end of the day God puts you in a position for you to see it through, so just have faith in Him and everything that is going on."

So much of our mental energy is spent fearing what might happen in the future or staying stuck in shame and regret for what has happened in the past. What if we chose to view our inevitable hardships as the path to experience the goodness of God even more powerfully? As the avenue to our healing? As the truly abundant life?

No one wants to turn into a scrooge and if you purposefully spend money in a targetted way after you have pushed down your spending, you can have your cake (high savings rate) and eat it too (having things that make you happy).

I woke up to a fascinating, no, more than fascinating, soul-stirring, comment on one of my blog posts. Although I had planned to do another post about our recent trip to New Orleans, in keeping with my intention when I started this blog of writing about what was on my mind when I woke up, I am sharing this story with you.

Thanks for stopping by. Raising children is a challenge in and of itself. I think we took a lot of what our parents did for granted as it was just life as we knew it. I wish I would have paid more attention to more things, and had the foresight to ask my mom a lot of questions that will now always remain unanswered.

First of all, it is true that before you incarnate you select your parents. But before that happens, you figure out what your intention is for this life. You decide what you want to experience. And then you go about finding a family that will give you the best chance of experiencing what you want to experience.

is an internationally renowned executive coach and communication advisor. He works with public figures and senior leaders through Templar Advisors, the firm he co-founded more than 20 years ago. He is the author of The Art of Decision Making: How We Move from Indecision to Smart Choices (2019). He lives in London, UK.

Consider the person who struggles with the decision to accept a more senior position with a considerably higher compensation, when many others would jump on the opportunity. This might be linked to their fear of failing in a high-stakes/high-visibility position. It could also be because the option of staying in a less senior role is equally attractive, but for different reasons, such as having more free time. Finally, for this person, perhaps breaking into this level of seniority throws up a whole range of issues that originated in their childhood. I have seen this often with successful professionals whose important decisions are regularly affected by the power of an overactive superego (that is, the image of a parent or another past figure of authority, irrespective of whether they are still alive or not).

The more you struggle with difficult decisions, the less distance from them you enjoy and the more bogged down you can become. And yet, psychological distance provides a sense of perspective that is a key component of effective decision-making. Already in the 16th century, the Spanish priest and theologian Ignatius of Loyola suggested three ways you can achieve more psychological distance from a difficult decision:

By methodically assessing your options against a comprehensive set of objectives, it is possible that one option will emerge as the obvious decision to take. In many instances, though, more work will be needed.

Born in London in 1959, Jasper Morrison works as a designer and travels between London, Paris and Tokyo. His designs are produced in Europe, the USA and Japan by leading manufacturers of furniture, lighting, electronics, shoes, wristwatches and more. He has also published a number of books including A World Without Words, Super Normal (co-authored with Naoto Fukasawa), Everything but the Walls and A Book of Things at Lars Mller Publishers.

When San Francisco's Department of Public Health asked if anyone in the library system would want to join the city's contact tracing program, I said yes right away. From the description, it seemed like a perfect match for our skills as librarians, as well as our mission: providing people with information that they and their families need.

So yes, many white people, particularly southern whites want to have it both ways..when it comes to Affirmative Action and white privilege, racism does not exist, but touch their son or daughter you will definitely get a verbal licking about how suddenly in their view the world has become racist. I guess it depends on your convenience and circumstances whether the world is white or not.

David, you keep hitting us over the head the fact that discrimination is rampant in the US (except in California and Hawaii?). Id like to argue that it is, in fact, everywhere. In some places it may happen more frequently than others and even this is dependent on a number of factors. Not to mention, everyone reacts to it differently.

Even within North America it is different. Majority generally tends to hate and despise the largest minority whether successful or not. In Vancouver, BC, at best many whites dont like the Chinese and in general, dont like any Asians. Similarly in Australia and NZ. Even AWWM marriages are more accepted in the United States than in Canada, Australia or NZ.

Are Americans color blind? This is a tricky question to answer. I am not a racist person and many of the people I know, are not racist as well However, most Americans do not want to discuss race/color issues or differences. It can make people uncomfortable, because they do not know how to discuss it (I actually discuss this with my students).

I understand your frustration, but Asian men have a choice, too: Asian men can choose not to chase white women like some kind of holy grail and direct their attention to an Asian woman who may be more deserving of their affection. (Though you would probably tell me that things have gotten so bad for Asian men that even Asian women reject them.)

I am sure your household will have different dynamics. You will need to negotiate the cultural terms for your child. I want to point out it also has something to do with the fact you are living in China. If your husband has a significant exposure to American culture like you do to China, you will have a much easier time. Both partners need to be aware of how they are shaped by their cultural upbringing and have the ability to negotiate between the cultures. In China, you will have a harder time to instill American values while all the outside world is against you. In America, the Chinese side need to give in. However, American side has an easier time to win with given America is doing overall.

Thought Supreme Court let by John Roberts ruled that racism does not exist anymore and that the Voting Rights Act is reduntant. So why would there be hardship for a Chinese male-White female couple and why the hate? Secondly, would the mother be equally annoyed if her white son brought a Chinese daughter in law home or does it apply only to white females bringing home non-white males?

The scene called for a live grizzly bear wreaking havoc on the outskirts of Yellowstone Ranch. The bear was tame. Its trainers were present. The cast was more or less chill about the whole thing. There was just one problem: the horses.

When depression creeps out and settles into my life everything important to me seems to disappear. I only have so much energy and I have a hard time figuring out where to put it. I want to lay in bed all day and sleep the day away hoping by morning depression has decided to take a vacation without me.

However, many recent critical studies of the novel have suggested that it is the weakest of O'Brien's novels. Keith Donohue (2007) writes that, "in terms of sheer artistry, the novel is far more conservative" than O'Brien's early work and considers O'Brien's choice of themes "oddly oblique", given that (in his opinion) the prudish Catholicism that O'Brien was targeting was waning by the early 1960s anyway.[7] Sue Asbee (1991) comments that "it is unlikely that the work would remain in print today" if it were not for the strength of O'Brien's other novels.[8] Anne Clissmann (1975) suggests that the "lavatory humour" of the novel quickly loses its appeal and concludes that "The Hard Life is ultimately unsatisfying to read because it lacks coherence and is too one-sided a vision of squalid reality."[9]

Anne Clissmann points out that the device of using language pedantically as a source of humour has much in common with O'Brien's other novels, especially The Dalkey Archive, although, in her view, The Hard Life is less successful because it "gives the impression of trying to be too funny, too pedantic".[11] Donoghue suggests that The Hard Life has more in common with O'Brien's journalism, written under the pen-name Myles na gCopaleen, than with his other novels.[12] e24fc04721
