Happy New Year!!!

This year has finally come to an end. We are now ready to receive a new year and begin a journey into the year of 2013. Although we had our share of ups and downs, we still made it. After all the struggles and all the pain and all the battles, we ended up victorious. Every challenge and every tough situation was in some way or another taken care of. It is time to reap what we sowed. To be close to our loved ones and to appreciate the opportunity of life…      A new beginning awaits us. The time to choose the right path. A time to rise and make our dreams a reality. To understand the importance of family and to...

Gamble

Is it wise to gamble?  I guess the answer would be no if you lose but if you win someone might consider it to be wise.  Something to think about… If you do gamble, are you trying to make a lot of money with a small investment? Or perhaps the method you are using is not working? All and all, why is it so hard to beat the casino? Why do they always win and we never do? Well the answer shall now be revealed…       I decided not to label what I do as gambling, rather I decided to call it investing wisely… In other words, I will invest my money, by placing a wager based on personal knowledge of the game I am wagering...

Global Warming, 2012. The End?

Is the world coming to an end? Speculations, theories and predictions all surround this uncertainty. It seems time has caught up, and now there are many events taking place this year. The famous or infamous year of 2012, also known as the year of the dragon according to the Chinese zodiac calendar.

Peace

Will we ever see a world of peace? A world where helping one another exists and a mind of prosperity and good will prevails? It so seems people all around the world are learning more and more to accept others beliefs and ideas. Its not common anymore to find a person who is racist either. I never understood why. Literally, skin us all and we are all the same. Don’t understand why color of skin makes any difference. I think it makes us all interesting. Strange ideas…      What about the topic of world war 3? Is Israel going to attack Iran and if so will this break out another world war? Its possible we witness that in the...

Life and Medical Health Insurance

Do you have life insurance? How about medical insurance? A great deal of people don’t. Insurance is vital. The investment may seem like a lot but in reality is not. For someone who is about 30, healthy, buying a 20 year level term life insurance policy, which has a fixed annual premium, would be looking at around 150 dollars-250 dollars a year to secure a 500,000 dollar death benefit. That would only be anywhere from 12 dollars to about 20 dollars a month. Of course this going up depending on age. For a 40 year old, about 350 dollars-450 dollars a year, for a 50 year old about 1,000 dollars a year, and for a 60 year old, the insurance policy...

Money

Could we live with out it? Probably not, at least not now a days. However people did back in time. Money has become an issue rather than a solution. Economy is at a low level all across the world yet the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. This may sound like a shot at the wealthy but believe me when I say that this is a shot only to those that abuse their employees by conspiring to pay as little as possible to generate as much as possible…      I guess by this time you must be thinking that this is how it is and fact of the matter is that you are right. If we really think about it, someone that earns 500 dollars...

Women

Can we ever understand them? Why is it that we’re so close yet so far? A mystery lies within each woman and it seems as if we were meant to unravel  it. Or at least try. Their beauty, their warmth and their sensitivity attract us. Their gentleness and of course their cooking, win us over.  They posses something that in a way completes us just as we posses something that completes them. There is more to a woman than we can imagine. Their complexity keeps us searching for the right answers and their unconditional love is what will overcome any adversity...      The ability to carry a child  and become a mother...

Hope

Hope is the emotional state that promotes belief in a positive outcome pertaining to circumstances in our life. According to psychologists hope is cultivated when there is a goal in mind and we have determination to finish this goal. Not only determination but also a plan on how to obtain it…            Hope can be present in our life and for that matter it should be. While there is life, there is hope., and if there is hope, there is a will and if there’s a will, there is a way. Charles Snyder, Ph.D determined that hope is the sum of mental willpower and waypower that we posses for our goals.  Defining...

Learning From Relationships

Why is it that we come across people? What outcome comes from different associations? As time’s gone by I’ve understood that each and every contact is important. The importance being that we can learn from everyone…                   Learning, after all is not compulsory it is contextual. So we are not forced to learn but rather it depends on us what we want to learn. At times we get caught up in our own knowledge or our own customs that we forget that we are able to learn from everyone. It is sad on occasions when someone forgets who you are and most importantly...

Where did we come from?

Where did we come from? Where are we headed? Sometimes we question our existence. Is it mere coincidence that we’re alive ?Was it “luck”? Or could it be possible that somehow we were chosen to come to earth.                Many people have many beliefs. Who is right? Who is wrong? I believe we know what was taught to us. So when someone else tells us any different we automatically think they are wrong. Naturally. If all your life you were taught to take your shoes off in your home and someone for the first time came into your house with shoes on, you would automatically see it...

Stress

Is it real? I can understand they have to have a name for every thing, but stress? Every time we are feeling down, tired, worried and all those negative emotions we tend to say we are stressed. So what is stress?                  Stress is a word that’s been around for a long time. It describes a negative concept that can impact mental and physical health, BUT, is unclear exactly  what defines it and whether or not it’s a cause, effect or the process in between that connects both. Before it was attached to refer to external factors that disrupt HOMEOSTASIS. In 1926, doctor Walter Cannon...

Another Earth

Not  So New,  SO  in current events, I am flabbergasted to see how we are beginning to view the world… those who want to believe that the end is coming in the form of destruction, are creating havoc, just for the reason that blows my mind, unappreciation of LIFE.  So they don't see the beauty that surrounds each individual.  Never the less, that will be what ends...HATE.  I know it and you know it... photo by:      We will unite as one… that is what I see now, each one of my brothers and sisters enjoying LOVE at its most perfect form.  Whether it is through art, music, sports, WRITING… What...

Young at Heart

What do you think about age? It seems the older we get, the less  we think about it. Is it because we are scared to even think of the possibility of becoming “old”?  Or because now we can understand that age is really just a number . Of coarse, speaking of only those that have developed into a full  mature adulthood. Sure, our appearance may age, thus making us older but internally we are who we’ve always been…      Why not grab hold of that and always be young? Is it really that hard to stay young and be  happy all the time? Young happy… Why do we embrace getting old, instead of embracing youth. Our organism is not a weak one. At all. If we can treat our body well by having a good diet, exercising regularly and most importantly being young and happy, youth...

UNFAITHFUL

Have you ever been unfaithful or has someone been unfaithful to you? There is always two sides of the story, it seems. Example: If we speak to someone who’s been unfaithful to their spouse or partner, they may say they were lonely or they were having issues with their partner. If we spoke to the party who was on the opposite end, they may say  that they don't know why their loved one would cheat.      Photo by:      So who is wrong? I think we all would be quick to judge and point out the “cheater”, right?  There is more to this than the naked eye could see. So deep , leading to a question: Did this happen...

INDOLENCE

My father always said, “ the lazy always work double”.  A very simple saying that has an immense  deal of knowledge. Its strange that if you tell this to someone , their reply would be, “are you calling me lazy?”. At this point and time, we think to ourselves, duh, yes! Naturally we say no, and just forget about it. If it clicks, let it click, and if not, well, too bad…      Thankfully, I learned at a young age, making my life a lot easier. Who wants to work double? Right? Many people. Its hard to understand but this is reality. I’ve caught myself skipping through an instructional, wanting to finish some sort of project...
