Answer 2

Expose the Liars that have Bought Off by the Big Oil Companies and Auto Manufacturers.Like Al Gore ! Don't believe it ? Go to www.fuelvapors.com and [e-mail] and http://energy21.freeservers.com/bookrep.html. See My Avatar ? It's a Photo of a Device I've Constructed that safely converts Regular Pump Gasoline into what is, for all Intents and Purposes, Propane. With this setup, even the Largest SUV could get 50 + MPG, and Emit 10 X Less Polluting Exhaust Emissions. And it's ILLEGAL on any Vehicle in the USA from ' 96 to the Present ! Mr. Al Gore helped to Mandate this Insane Law ! Go to My "360" Page for even more Info ! This is such a Total Ripoff ! My "Philosophy for Life" is to Expose this Lie that only Benefits the Super-Wealthy ! Do You have the Guts and Backbone to Investigate this ? Or are You "Too Busy" like everyone else that Worships Al Gore ?

Answer 3

I believe in the golden rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Life is full of choices. We all have the opportunity to react to situations in our life by choosing the high road, or not. Another way to say it is, "turn lemons into lemonade." Here are some examples of what I mean:

1. At one time I lived about an hour's one-way drive to work from my home. I sometimes would get upset if I were delayed in leaving work or had to run errands before heading home because that meant getting home late, getting to bed late, and waking tired the next day. Until one day I was delayed, and just as I passed a certain spot on the road home I saw there had been a terrible accident. It had happened about the time I would have been passing that spot if I had been able to leave for home on time. This happened several times, and I learned to take delays in stride, not get upset, and to relax and just go with the flow. Sometimes unforeseen things happen in life. How you choose to deal with them is what sets you on the track to a happy and fulfilled life.

2. When I've felt down in my life, I've taken a good look around and saw there was always someone else who was much worse off than I've ever been. When you feel down, go ahead and take a little time to wallow in it. Really enjoy a good cry. Then buck up, and go and do something for someone else... offer to run an errand for the elderly person down the street or in your building who can't get around very well. Don't allow yourself to dwell on sad or unhappy things. Before you know it you'll be depressed. Remember - all emotions are preceded by a thought. Stop yourself when you find yourself wallowing in unhappy thoughts. Immediately change your thoughts. After awhile you will have retrained yourself not to dwell on those things that make you unhappy, and will have replaced those thoughts with good positive thinking. It will brighten your life immensely.

See where I'm going with this? Allow yourself to contemplate why you are here... to ask yourself "Do I have a purpose?" Until you find out just what that purpose is, devote yourself to serving others and bringing happiness to them. You will be amazed at the happiness and peace you'll find in your own life by living by this simple principle. And read, read, read self-help books on how to develop yourself into an introspective, mindful, thoughtful, well adjusted person. Not necessarily those steeped in psychological mumbo jumbo (except for perhaps Karl Jung) either.

The idea behind all this is that by living by the golden rule, you will create good in your life by doing good toward others, and that same goodness will come back to you. Try it, you'll like it!

Answer 4

Life is all about connecting with other people...I have never felt more alive than when I am really connecting with someone (not necessarily in an intimate way either).

I mean isn't that, to some degree, the reason most of us are on here... trying somehow to connect with other people, or at least get their approval in the way of the odd best answer or thumbs ups?? To somehow know that there are others out there who feel or think the way we do??

Answer 5

Do not be dismayed, for the Lord is close to the broken hearted and aids those who are crushed in spirit.

Treat family like you would treat yourself. They are the only ones that you will always be able to count on. and the only ones that will support you when everything in your life has fallen apart. There is nothing like family, and nobody will ever know you or love you more.

Answer 6

I follow a magic formula for Dynamic Living - it's pretty hard to accomplish but it's worth shooting for:

Dynamic living is that kind of life that is filled with joy and happiness all the time
A life free of fear; free of worry
With your life balanced in six major areas which are;
business
home
social
physical
mental
and spiritual

Give it a shot...it's worth trying!
