A journey of a thousand miles, must begin with the first step

We have all tried it. Otherwise we probably will. Having that feeling, that the world is crashing down on us and everything is against us.

Not a very nice feeling, but unfortunately we can’t run away from the fact, that life is both good and bad.

There is a saying, that trouble comes in bunches. And once you think it can’t get any worse, something else happens.

It is a great talent to be able to take a step back, and see the big picture. But sometimes the big picture is just too much, and the result is, that we can’t find our way out of all the problems, and get paralysed. In such a situation, it is better to just see things one thing at a time.

Let me tell you a story.

No Band Aids

A quick thought

While walking through life, I tend to get a quick thought, on which I build articles or what ever I believe fits the thought.
I will post some of them here:

Stand tall, your body language helps you acquire certain feelings

Body language is used as non-verbal communication, and it is well known, that the body language is affected by your mood. This is how you can show your environment (consciously or unconsciously), how you really feel. When we are in a bad mood, we tend to change our body pose, facial expressions, use different gestures, and eye movements. The changes depends on the mood we are in.

But many doesn’t know, that it also works the other way around. That the body language also can help you determine you mood.

On different pages of this blog, you will find a couple of quotes that fits the subject at hand. A collection of “life laws” with one single purpose. To help reach the level of happiness we all dream about. These quotes have been made into wallpapers, and can be downloaded at will.

You can use these wallpapers on your computer, as little reminders to everyday way of thinking, and if you choose to, you can also use them as your screensaver.

To use these wallpapers as your screensaver, simply put all the wallpapers into your photos folder. Then go to your screensaver settings and choose, that your computer must show your photos from your photos folder instead of an installed screensaver.

I can only recommend to use the wallpapers as screensavers as well, as we need to hear things several times, before it is really stuck in our brain.

Using the wallpapers as a screensaver, helps you remember.

Am I in a relationship with the "right person"?

During a seminar, a woman asked a common question.
She said, “How do I know if I married the right person?”
I noticed that there was a man sitting next to her so I said,
“It depends. Is that your husband?” In all seriousness, she answered “How do you know?”
Let me answer this question because the chances are good that it’s weighing on your mind.
