Mindfulness And Empathy: Using The News
As we watch the news about the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina, it is easy to become much more caught up in the horror and anguish part of the disaster instead of the opportunity to deepen our own ability to feel empathy and act purposefully. Ironically, just prior to the hurricane hitting New Orleans, I was interviewed by two major magazines about the topic of empathy and how we can use the news as a trigger for mindfulness beyond the obvious information-sharing about where to ...

The Success Zone.
I’m sure you’ve heard the expression “in the zone,” particularly as it applies to athletes or others who are unflappable as they eye the goal. Sometimes you can be in the zone regarding your success and nothing gets in your way; other times you can do everything right and find that whatever can go wrong, will. Here are thoughts on building the habit of success and getting “in the zone.” - Achieve Success by Expecting It You must understand that the ...
Dating Advice For Men #3: You Are Not less Because You Have No Women
These days society puts an abnormal pressure on guys. From your early teens, other guys tend to measure you with the number of girlfriends you have or the number of girls you have laid. From early high school, a guy who has a girlfriend is considered to be "cooler" than a "lamer" that has no girls at all. If I had a teenage son, I would advise him to focus on perfecting himself instead of chasing girls. Society puts an abnormal pressure on younger (and even older) men. If you ...
How To Get That `it' Factor Happening
You know when you meet charismatic and compelling people. They exude a personal power that’s hard to miss. You can ‘feel’ their presence as they enter a room and both male and female heads turn. For some, this magnetism is as natural as organic food whilst for others it can be developed over time. Sitting here today in sunny Queensland Australia, I’m reflecting on what makes one person more attractive than another. Not just by physical attraction, but what makes them ...
Discernment And Judgement
Two Sides of the Same Coin? Discernment is an inner guide or compass. It is loving and expansive, and offers freedom, honor and options. Judgment on the other hand dishonors, condemns, and contradicts. Judgment is all about others. It always sets up a polarity or emotional value of this is good and this is bad. An example of this is: A person looks at a brown car and decides brown cars are boring and ugly. Being judgmental forms a ...

Is It Self-esteem Or Self-confidence Or What Lies In Between?
Is it Self-Esteem or Self-Confidence or what lies in between? – By Joseph Ghabi I was driven towards looking to the self-confidence and self-esteem in ourselves on a deeper level. How do we evaluate the two? On a human level and perhaps whilst growing up, our religion, the influence of the culture of where we grew up in and our parents, are all factors that influence and contribute to our level of self-confidence and self-esteem. How do we define ...
Are Limiting Beliefs Keeping You From Realising Your Potential?
Don’t you love the current expression: ‘does what it says on the can’. The can is, of course, purely metaphorical and ‘does what it says’ suggests clarity and ultimate intelligibility. A limiting belief, obviously, does exactly what it says on the can: it holds people back in any and every area of their life. Perfectly clear – or is it? In fact, the potential problem lies in the underlying assumption that the limiting beliefs sufferer actually believes they have ...
Can Money Buy You Happiness?
Can money but you happiness? Well, doesn't that depend on what's causing you to be unhappy, in the first place? If you've just lost a loved one, no amount of money will make you happy, only time and your own attitude will eventually lessen the pain and hopefully bring some joy back into your life. However, if a stack of unpaid bills is facing you each day, wouldn't enough money to pay them, not make you happy? If you are someone you love, needs ...
Botox Alternatives: How To Avoid A Botox Injection

Reality Check!
Reality Check! - By Joseph Ghabi What makes us all different from each other is one main factor, that is, the place where we grew up and in respect of that, all of the knowledge and understanding that we accumulate from our parents, our culture, and our religion. These are our main influences in life and that is already a lot to take in. It makes all the difference in the world when distinguishing ourselves from each other. Even though we are growing into different experiences that bring us ...

How To Select Your Botox Doctor?
Credentials: Selected surgeons should be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS). Any doctor (even one from a nonsurgical specialty) can legally perform surgery. On the other hand, certification by the ABPS ensures at least five years of surgical training, including two years of training specifically in plastic surgery. Patients undergoing a cosmetic procedure should select a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) to help ensure that their ...
