- Giving A Sincere Compliment
By: C S Lewis | - There is just a feeling of satisfaction that comes with brightening someone else's day. There are so many different ways to make someone smile, but one of the easiest ways is to simply give a compliment. We should all strive to give other's credit where credit is due each and every day. Giving a compliment, in its most basic form, means acknowledging someone else's efforts and expressing gratitude for their contribution. Compliments can come in many forms. An expression of thanks could be a ...

- How To Take A Compliment
By: C S Lewis | - "Oh, I didn't do that good of a job," or "No, I don't look pretty today, are you kidding?" These are pretty common responses to compliments these days. I am not quite sure why a negative way of thinking has crept into our society, but I think we need to get back into the habit of accepting compliments when they come our way. Perhaps you feel you are not deserving of a kind statement, or maybe you feel that the person offering the words of kindness are not being genuine; regardless, you have a ...

- True Kindness Is Helping Someone Who Cannot Pay You Back!
By: Anthony K Wilson Sr | - You will have many opportunities in life to help those who can never repay you in some way, but compassion has a greater reward than any payback ever could...
I often marvel at how the holiday season seems to bring out a level of kindness that never seems to be as intense or consistent in the earlier parts of the year? Why does society seem to ramp up its receptive nature to perform these random acts of kindness at such a limited window when compared to the entire year as a whole?< ...

- How To Tick People Off Through Acts Of Kindness
By: C S Lewis | - A popular saying reads, "No good deed goes unpunished." I do agree with this quote in some ways, not because I believe truly righteous deeds should result in ingratitude, but because I think there are people in this world who should be punished after they have accomplished what they considered to be a "good deed." People that remove tickets from other people's cars in an effort to save the driver the anguish of being ticketed, the doctors who "misread" charts and inform their diseased patients ...

- Don't Punish Yourself
By: Larry Agresto | - Have you ever asked yourself why the simple things in life seem so hard to learn sometimes? Why things that should be so easy, just seem to be so damn hard? What's funny about it, is the answer to the next question. Who makes it so hard...guess who?
But you can change that by making the simple things in life the most enjoyable and rewarding. In learning to constantly strive in life, to compete, to win, we've lost the value and beauty of the simple things; the sound of the wind, the ...

- Is It Really So Nice To Be Nice?
By: JOHN HARDY | - Niceness is the zeitgeist of today. When our ancestors look back through the filter of time, what is it that they will find noteworthy about the people who live in this century? It will not be our valour, nor our cruelty. In both, we have been far surpassed by our forefathers. Nor are our achievements in the arts likely to stand out, as there have been golden ages in the past far more refined than our own period. It will not be our reason, intellectual insight, or mental agility, since these qu ...

- The Amazing And Profitable Power Of Kindness
By: Jeremy Gislason | - A little kindness goes a long way. Youve heard the phrase, right? Its true for many reasons. In addition to kindness being spread quickly from one person to another, kindness also has far-reaching effects for your business and personal life.

"Good News" performed by Something Corporate

- Politic In Some Different Views For Society Education
By: ghostevyta | - Many people in the world especially they who have never felt higher education than elementary school, even have never gone to school consider that politic is always dirty, not good, and not useful. Precisely its not only because of education level, but sometimes also social condition in each nation. Because of that reason, they become an apathetic in political news, opinion, or other events related to the government such as the election, the most events that each country holds in the world.< ...

- Toes Are People Too!
By: Sally Huss | - It was a cold, rainy day in La Jolla. Unusual, although it was winter, it was still unusual for the area. That's why I figured my son ended up coming into our art gallery one morning with a big bulky jacket on and nothing to cover his feet but sandals. He always wears sandals, as do many young people in this beach community. It's part of the dress code here.
But, as I looked at his feet, beginning to turn blue, I wondered why he ha ...

- Manifesting New Relationships
By: Rijuta Tooker | - When eager to manifest new relationships (and this is always necessary at some point in our lives) we must be ready to accept change and respect newness. Whether in our personal world or our business world, we often feel the need to develop new relationships.
Attract new relationships
Instead of trying to find new people, develop the capacity to attract them. Having said that, necessary actions must be taken in order to open you to being in the right place at the right time ...

- Kindness Is Cheap!
By: Sally Huss | - "Kindness goes a long way to making a better world." -- Happy Musing
We are all occupied with making a better world, in one way or another. At least that's the big goal for most of us. Oftentimes we are preoccupied with things that seem to fill our days that do not seem to be making much of a head way in that direction. However, when we are doing whatever we are doing, large or small, we can include the element of kindness. It makes such a difference in our exchanges with others. A ...

- Want Happiness? Try This!
By: Sally Huss | - "To know, but not to judge; to love, but not to keep; to be, but not be asleep is a way far better than most." --Happy Musings
One of the kindest points of view to have is summed up in this saying. It is a motto worthy of living by. The first part -- to know -- is to understand or to be acquainted with a person. But then to know without judging, that's the trick. We are limited many times by our own experiences and tend to slap judgments on what we see. Our vision is limited. Whe ...

- Kind Stranger In The Night
By: Lea Houston | - Little miracles happen to us all. When we open to them with appreciation we bring healing to body and heart. When we share the stories we bring healing to our families, communities and the world.
This year, on the Saturday morning before Christmas, on a dark and stormy night, my college-aged daughters and their best friend experienced one of these everyday miracles.
At 1:30 in the morning, they pulled off the freeway into a nearly deserted gas station, feeling giddy ...

- What Is Spiritual Life Coaching?
By: Gavin Young | - I was recently interviewed for an upcoming television special on Executive and Spiritual Life Coaching hosted by Joan Lunden. Among the questions I was asked, perhaps the simplest, but least understood, was the following: "What is the function of a spiritual life coach and what are some of the tasks and methods they use?"
The answer to the first part of the question is as varied as there are spiritual coaches, but the theme each has in common is working "from", "with" and "in" a ...

- Show Your Loved Ones You Care Today
By: Karin Peavy | - After a three-year battle with cancer, my sister in law passed away.
I have no doubt that she went straight into the arms of Jesus but I am realizing how much of a void she left as my sister and I try to fill her shoes.
My sister in law and I did not warm up to each other right away. But over the years we developed an affection for one another.
I sent her a birthday gift about a month before she left this world and she called to thank me. It meant a l ...

- We Can Change Our Lives By Promoting The Pleasure Of Others
By: Amelia Johnson | - The news is usally full of the failings of our celebrities or people in high places. The negative attention that they receive from the press changes their lives and the lives around them. Rarely do we get a positive glimpse of those people that are inspired to give back or pay forward.
"One's personal enjoyment is a very small thing, but one's personal usefulness is a very important thing." Those only are happy who have their minds fixed on some object other than their own ...

- Buddhism And Healthy Longevity
By: Stephen Lau | - Buddhism is more than an Eastern religion: it is a healthy longevity promoter.
Buddhism focuses on the balanced interaction between the mind and the body as a prerequisite for healthy longevity; disease is a result of their imbalance and disharmony. The Buddhist approach to health and wellness is its emphasis on spiritual strength of the mind to overcome illness and disease. Concurring with Hippocrates, the father of medicine, who believed in the innate healing power in humans, Bu ...

- The Magic Of Love
By: Helene Rothschild | - Would you like to receive the magic of love? Are you willing to give it? Try this: For one day, consciously make an effort to be loving or kind to everyone you see, with no expectations of receiving anything in return.
For example, compliment, acknowledge, or smile at people at work, home, on the street, and in the stores. Notice how you feel at the end of the day. Your heart will probably feel warmer and bigger. The loving action can make their day as well as yours. It is likely ...

- Living A Life Of Forgiveness
By: Carol Biondo | - The Tale of Two Wolves
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about the battle that goes on inside people. He said "My son, the battle is between two "wolves" inside us all. One is EVIL. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, lies, false pride, inferiority, superiority, ego, and an unforgiving spirit. The other is GOOD. It is JOY, PEACE, LOVE, HOPE, SERENITY, HUMILITY, KINDNESS, EMPATHY, GENEROSITY, TRUTH, COMPASSION, FO ...

- Developing A More Positive Attitude: A Guide Meditation On Loving Kindness
By: Tenzin Palmo | - One of the most important teachings of the Buddha was one called metta, a Pali word for loving kindness.
Like most people, I find myself often getting snappish and impatient with other people, and wish that I could just be kinder, more tolerant and more constructive when dealing with others. But it is not always easy, is it? The Buddha knew that we are all human, and we are all flawed. This is why he taught that meditating on loving kindness can help us be the better people that ...

- Kindness And Community: Beating The Snow
By: Richard MacKenzie | - This week snow hit the UK and it was amazing to see how those little flakes of ice, caused so much trouble. Within hours the schools were shut and parents couldn't go to work as there was no one to look after their kids. The roads become like ice rinks and travel became difficult. The news channels did their usual sensational newsflashes with the snow being the headline as the UK just ground to a halt.

By: Margaret Paul, Ph.D. | - There is one choice you can make that will heal many of your relationship problems. This is the choice of kindness to both yourself and to others.
This may sound simple, yet for many people, there is one choice far more important to them than kindness. This is the choice to attempt to control others' feeling and behavior, outcomes, and their own painful feelings.
Kindness to yourself and to others comes from a desire to support your own highest good and the highes ...

By: true2you | - The holiday season is a time for giving. When most of us think of giving, we think of gifts. The mere thought of tackling that Christmas list can be daunting. Maybe there isn't enough money to buy the gifts you'd like to give. Or perhaps you have a few of those "hard to buy for" people who have everything. So you put on your Betty Crocker hat and spend hours in the kitchen making cookies, sweet breads, and fudge to give as gifts. You make homemade ornaments and other Christmas crafts, or y ...

By: cdmohatta | - Are you a fortunate person to have someone in your life who cares for you? I don't mean care in the sense it is commonly used. But who cares for you like your mother used to, when you were a child? You are a grown-up person now. Does that imply that you don't need anyone to take your care? Don't you need someone to ask you if you are ok? And then to try and make you comfortable? Don't you need someone who knows what you like and then to arrange for it? Don't you need someone who will put balm on ...
