16 Things to Avoid in order to be Happy


 

The definition of happiness is highly contested ,it is therefore  a word that means different thing to different people
Here is a list of 16 things which, if you give up on them, will make your life a lot easier and much, much happier.

1. GIVE UP YOUR NEED TO ALWAYS BE RIGHT
There are so many of us who can’t stand the idea of being wrong – wanting to always be right – even at the risk of ending great relationships or causing a great deal of stress and pain, for us and for others. It’s just not worth it. Whenever you feel the ‘urgent’ need to jump into a fight over who is right and who is wrong, ask yourself this question: “Would I rather be right, or would I rather be kind?” Wayne Dyer. What difference will that make? Is your ego really that big?

2. GIVE UP YOUR NEED FOR CONTROL

Be willing to give up your need to always control everything that happens to you and around you – situations, events, people, etc. Whether they are loved ones, coworkers, or just strangers you meet on the street – just allow them to be. Allow everything and everyone to be just as they are and you will see how much better will that make you feel.
“By letting it go it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try. The world is beyond winning.” Lao Tzu.

3. GIVE UP ON BLAME
Give up on your need to blame others for what you have or don’t have, for what you feel or don’t feel. Stop giving your powers away and start taking responsibility for your life.

4. GIVE UP YOUR SELF-DEFEATING SELF-TALK
Oh my. How many people are hurting themselves because of their negative, polluted and repetitive self-defeating mindset? Don’t believe everything that your mind is telling you – especially if it’s negative and self-defeating. You are better than that.
“The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very destructive.” Eckhart Tolle

5. GIVE UP YOUR LIMITING BELIEFS
about what you can or cannot do, about what is possible or impossible. From now on, you are no longer going to allow your limiting beliefs to keep you stuck in the wrong place. Spread your wings and fly!
“A belief is not an idea held by the mind, it is an idea that holds the mind” Elly Roselle

6. GIVE UP COMPLAINING
Give up your constant need to complain about those many things – people, situations, events that make you unhappy, sad and depressed. Nobody can make you unhappy, no situation can make you sad or miserable unless you allow it to. It’s not the situation that triggers those feelings in you, but how you choose to look at it. Never underestimate the power of positive thinking.

7. GIVE UP THE LUXURY OF CRITICISM & CYNICISM
Give up your need to criticize things, events or people that are different from you. We are all different, yet we are all the same. We all want to be happy, we all want to love and be loved and we all want to be understood. We all want something, and something is wished by us all.

8. GIVE UP YOUR NEED TO IMPRESS OTHERS
Stop trying so hard to be something that you’re not just to make others like you. It doesn’t work this way. The moment you stop trying so hard to be something that you’re not, the moment you take off all your masks, the moment you accept and embrace the real you, you will find people will be drawn to you, effortlessly.

9. GIVE UP YOUR RESISTANCE TO CHANGE
Change is good. Change will help you move from A to B. Change will help you make improvements in your life and also the lives of those around you. Follow your bliss, embrace change – don’t resist it.“Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls” Joseph Campbell

10. GIVE UP LABELS
Stop labeling those things, people or events that you don’t understand as being weird or different and try opening your mind, little by little. Minds only work when open. “The highest form of ignorance is when you reject something you don’t know anything about.” Wayne Dyer

11. GIVE UP ON YOUR FEARS
Fear is just an illusion, it doesn’t exist – you created it. It’s all in your mind. Correct the inside and the outside will fall into place.“The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself.” Franklin D. Roosevelt

12. GIVE UP YOUR EXCUSES
Send them packing and tell them they’re fired. You no longer need them. A lot of times we limit ourselves because of the many excuses we use. Instead of growing and working on improving ourselves and our lives, we get stuck, lying to ourselves, using all kind of excuses – excuses that 99.9% of the time are not even real.

13. GIVE UP THE PAST
I know, I know. It’s hard. Especially when the past looks so much better than the present and the future looks so frightening, but you have to take into consideration the fact that the present moment is all you have and all you will ever have. The past you are now longing for – the past that you are now dreaming about – was ignored by you when it was present. Stop deluding yourself. Be present in everything you do and enjoy life. After all life is a journey not a destination. Have a clear vision for the future, prepare yourself, but always be present in the now.

14. GIVE UP ATTACHMENT
This is a concept that, for most of us is so hard to grasp and I have to tell you that it was for me too, (it still is) but it’s not something impossible. You get better and better at with time and practice. The moment you detach yourself from all things, (and that doesn’t mean you give up your love for them – because love and attachment have nothing to do with one another, attachment comes from a place of fear, while love… well, real love is pure, kind, and self less, where there is love there can’t be fear, and because of that,it is argued that  attachment and love cannot coexist) you become so peaceful, so tolerant, so kind, and so serene. You will get to a place where you will be able to understand all things without even trying. A state beyond words.

15. GIVE UP LIVING YOUR LIFE TO OTHER PEOPLE’S EXPECTATIONS

Way too many people are living a life that is not theirs to live. They live their lives according to what others think is best for them, they live their lives according to what their parents think is best for them, to what their friends, their enemies and their teachers, their government and the media think is best for them. They ignore their inner voice, that inner calling. They are so busy with pleasing everybody, with living up to other people’s expectations, that they lose control over their lives. They forget what makes them happy, what they want, what they need….and eventually they forget about themselves. You have one life – this one right now – you must live it, own it, and especially don’t let other people’s opinions distract you from your path.

16. GIVE UP ON FAKE PEOPLE 

In order to be happy, try to give up on (even-though it can be hard) fake friends (who remember  you when the going is good or when they need help) , fake partners (if your partner use you like a punching bag or constantly cheats on you, then give up on him or her). Importantly, give up on  boss / work that do not respect or recognize your worth. Remember that there is someone out there that will honor and respect you. Therefore, do not give up on real love. 

IN CONCLUSION,   NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR SELF

We all have our distinctive capabilities, so work hard on what you are good in doing and try to improve on your limitations (remember that no one is perfect!). For example, a friend of mine was in need of fund to start his own business and was rejected by all banks because they thought that he will fail. Therefore, he lost hope of ever realizing his dreams. However,he did not stop from trying other possibilities. When he tried alternative financing   via crowdfunding websites , he succeeded in raising more than he expected from strangers who believed in his idea ( YOU CAN ALSO BE SUCCESSFUL) .

16 SURPRISING uses of egg shells:  

egg shell





1. Keep The Garden Pest Away : Nobody likes pests and those little critters that ruin your plants and vegetables. You can easily crush the egg shells and spread them throughout your garden in order to keep the snails and slugs away, they hate sharp little bits of shell getting stuck to their undercarriage and they will surely not come back anytime soon!

2. Remove stains from cups: Next time you notice your mugs have tea and coffee stains, instead of reaching for the bleach, try dropping an egg shell into each cup with some boiling water. The porous nature of the shell will absorb the stain and you can scrub stubborn stains away as above.

3. Great Garden Fertilizer: The high calcium content present in the eggshells is perfect not just for making a natural supplement, but also for fertilizing your garden. – if you want your veggies and plants to thrive, then simply crush the eggshells and sprinkle into every hole prior to planting the seedlings. Then, sprinkle additional shells around the base of your plants every two weeks.

4. Face mask: Use the nutrients in an egg to nourish your skin. Grind up some shells and whisk together with an egg white to make a face mask. Leave on to dry, then rinse off to reveal tighter, glowing skin.

5. Candles: Melt down old candle stubs to make pretty candles in egg shells. You can reuse old metal retainers from tea-lights, and buy wick online. Be sure to use wick for a small diameter candle - the smell of burning eggshell is like burnt fingernails or hair: not pleasant!

6. Whiten laundry: A few egg shells added to a mesh laundry bag are said to whiten your whites. put them in a cloth bag along with all your clothes in the washing machine. Your white clothes will stay white for longer!

7. Remove a Splinter : Place the membrane on the splinter and let it dry. It will draw out the splinter.

8. Make Your Own Powdered Calcium Supplement: Eggshells are known to be very rich in calcium, this is why you can easily wash them in warm water, simply bake your shells at 350 degrees for 8 minutes. Let them cool and grind them to a fine powder. Add your supplement (a teaspoon or less) to your favorite smoothie or juice once a day, you can add a bit of it to your coffee, sauce, dishes and what not.

9. Treat Skin Irritations: Dissolve the shells in apple cider vinegar (takes about 2 days), use in on rashes and skin irritations.

10. Drain Cleaner – Add some eggshells to your drain stainer. They will help grab the smaller items, and they will breakdown, and clean your pipes as they go.

11. Ornaments: The egg white and yolk are carefully removed from the egg through a very tiny hole, and the remaining eggshell is used for creating Easter or Christmas decorations. This is a great, efficient and cost-effective way to make decorations, especially if you are a crafty person

12. For the Dogs: Process them into a powder. When your four legged friend get a stomach bug, sprinkle some on their food to stop diarrhea.

13. Homemade Chalk: Grind 5-8 eggshells add 1 tsp hot water and 1 tsp flour, pour into a mold or toilet paper rolls and allow to dry.

14. Use The Egg Membrane To Treat Superficial Wounds: Did you know that the egg membrane can be a great and natural band-aid? Use the membranes of the shell as a bandage, If you cut your finger, simply wrap the membrane around it to protect it from becoming infecting, as well as for speeding up the healing process.

15. Nail Booster: Turn it into a powder and add a little bit to your nail polish to help strengthen nails.

16. For Grass: If you don’t have a composter, just toss them in the yard to give your grass a calcium boost.

                               Appreciate your parents


parents




My request is that pls read this and get your children also to read it.

One young man went to apply for a managerial position in a big company.

He passed the initial interview, and now would meet the director for the final interview.

The director discovered from his CV that the youth's academic achievements were excellent.

He asked, Did you obtain any scholarships in school...?
the youth answered "NO".

Who paid for your school fees...?
" Parents ", he replied.

"Where did they work......?"

"They worked as clothes cleaner.”

The director requested the youth to show his hands.
The youth showed a pair of hands that were smooth and perfect.

"Have you ever helped your parents wash the clothes ?"

"Never, my parents always wanted me to study and read more books.
Besides, my parents can wash clothes faster than me.

The director said, "I have a request.

When you go home today, go and clean your parents hands, and then see me tomorrow morning.

The youth felt dejected.
When he went back home, he asked his parents to let him clean their hands.
His parents felt strange, happy but with mixed feelings,
They showed their hands to their son.

The youth cleaned their hands slowly.
His tear fell as he did that.
It was the first time he noticed that his parents hands were so wrinkled, and there were so many bruises in their hands.

Some bruises were so painful that they winced when he touched it.

This was the first time the youth realized that it was this pair of hands that washed the clothes everyday to enable him to pay the school fees.

The bruises in the hands were the price that the parents had to pay for his education, his school activities and his future.

After cleaning his parents hands, the youth quietly washed all the remaining clothes for them.

That night, parents and son talked for a very long time.

Next morning, the youth went to the director's office.

The Director noticed the tears in the youth's eyes, when he asked:

"Can you tell me what have you done and learned yesterday in your house....?"

The youth answered,
I cleaned my parents hand, and also finished cleaning all the remaining clothes'

“I now know what appreciation is.
Without my parents, I would not be who I am today...

By helping my parents, only now do I realize how difficult and tough it is to get something done on your own And I have come to appreciate the importance and value of helping one’s family.

The director said,
"This is what I am looking for in a manager.
I want to recruit a person who can appreciate the help of others, a person who knows the sufferings of others to get things done, and a person who would not put money as his only goal in life.”

“You are hired.”

A child, who has been protected and habitually given whatever he wanted, would develop an "entitlement mentality" and would always put himself first.

He would be ignorant of his parent's efforts.

If we are this kind of protective parents, are we really showing love or are we destroying our children instead...?

You can let your child live in a big house, eat a good meal, learn piano, watch on a big screen TV.

But when you are cutting grass, please let them experience it.

After a meal, let them wash their plates and bowls together with their brothers and sisters.

It is not because you do not have money to hire a maid, but it is because you want to love them in a right way.

You want them to understand, no matter how rich their parents are, one day their hair will grow grey, same as the parent of that young person.

The most important thing is your child learns how to appreciate the effort and experience the difficulty and learns the ability to work with others to get things done...

Try to forward this story to as many as possible...this may change somebody's fate.

This will also change someone's attitude.

"Walking" is the best exercise...!




'Walk Away' from arguments that lead you to nowhere but anger.
'Walk Away' from people who deliberately put you down.
'Walk Away' from any thought that reduces your worth.
"Walk away from overweight , failure and illnesses- walking 30 to 45 minutes daily will make a difference-and while you walk, smile! .
'Walk Away' from failures and fears that stifle your dreams.
'Walk away from fake people, negative ideology,  fake relationships and fake life-walk towards positive change.

'Walk away from job , colleagues or Boss that doesn't appreciate your worth.

The more you 'Walk Away' from things that poison your soul, the happier your life would be.

On the other hand, never walk away from reality, your duties and responsibilities!

Gift Yourself A Walk Towards Happiness... 

Note:  walking is a good way to be alone and reflect over things, it will also spark some creativity. You can also try to have a meeting Walking with someone.

Woman Makes Yogurt With Bacteria From Her Vagina


Woman Makes Yogurt From Her Vagina, Says It Tastes “Sour, Tangy, and Tingly



Yogurt from Vagina

Image via UW-M

                                                                                                                                                                 Apparently there is a cooking book centered around using semen as a cooking ingredient. It is called Natural Harvest and it has been around since 2008. "The taste of semen is complex and dynamic," the cookbook maintains. "Semen is inexpensive to produce and is commonly available in many, if not most, homes and restaurants." Free range.

Because Natural Harvest exists, a group of female friends were a little annoyed that there wasn't a cookbook utilizing naturally occurring feminine secretions. So an MD/PhD-enrolled student at the University of Wisconsin, set out to unlock the inner food-maker. Cecilia Westbrook hypothesized that because the vagina is lined with healthy bacteria, and micro-organisms, yogurt was the place to start.
We'll give the vaginal floor over to Janet Jay, who wrote about the cultivation for VICE's Motherboard:
Every vagina is home to hundreds of different types of bacteria and organisms. These organisms produce lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and other substances that keep the vagina healthy. The dominant bacteria is called lactobacillus, which also happens to be what people sometimes use to culture milk, cheese, and yogurt.

Westbrook knew enough about the chemistry of the vagina to think that eating a batch of yogurt made from her ladyjuices would be good for her. The reason was probiotics—friendly bacteria that, when ingested, are believed to help in keeping our intestines healthy.
The "collection method" was done with a wooden spoon. [Westbrook] set up a positive control (made with actual yogurt as the starter culture) and a negative control (plain milk with nothing added), and combined her own home-made ingredient to the third batch of yogurt. Left overnight, the magic of biology created a respectably-sized bowl.
So how'd it taste? Westbrook reported that, "her first batch of yogurt tasted sour, tangy, and almost tingly on the tongue. She compared it to Indian yogurt, and ate it with some blueberries." What are you having for breakfast tomorrow? Are you practicing patriarchy, or having a bowl of feminine worship? Would you like to try the yogurt ?

I Love You So Much Mum 



I love you Mother



After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said, “I love you, but I know this other woman loves you and would love to spend some time with you.”

The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally
. That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie. “What’s wrong, are you well?” she asked.

My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news. “I thought that it would be pleasant to spend some time with you,” I responded. “Just the two of us.” She thought about it for a moment, and then said, “I would like that very much.”

That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date. She waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary. She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an angel’s. “I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed, “she said, as she got into the car. “They can’t wait to hear about our meeting.”

We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. After we sat down, I had to read the menu. Her eyes could only read large print. Half way through the entries, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me. A nostalgic smile was on her lips. “It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small,” she said. “Then it’s time that you relax and let me return the favor,” I responded. During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation – nothing extraordinary but catching up on recent events of each other’s life. We talked so much that we missed the movie. As we arrived at her house later, she said, “I’ll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.” I agreed.

“How was your dinner date?” asked my wife when I got home. “Very nice. Much more so than I could have imagined,” I answered.

A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have a chance to do anything for her. Some time later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place mother and I had dined. An attached note said: “I paid this bill in advance. I wasn’t sure that I could be there; but nevertheless, I paid for two plates – one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant for me. I love you, son.”

At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time: “I LOVE YOU” and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life is more important than your family. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till “some other time.”

MOTHER You Mean a lot to me.
Mother and Child





Mother you mean the world too me!!!


EIGHT LIES OF MY  MOTHER TOLD ME:

This story begins when I was a child:
I was NOT born RICH. Often we hadn't enough to eat. Whenever we had some food, Mother often gave me her portion of food-while she was transferring her food into my bowl, she would say "Eat this food, son! I'm not hungry." This was Mother's First Lie.


As I grew, mother gave up her spare time to fish in a river near our house; she hoped that from the fish she caught, she could give me a little bit more nutritious food for my growth. Once she had caught just two fish, she would make fish soup. While I was eating the soup, mother would sit beside me and eat  what was still left on the bone of the fish I had eaten, My heart was touched when I saw it.

Once, I gave the other fish to her on my chopstick but she immediately refused it and said, "Eat this fish, son! I don't really like fish. " This was mother's Second Lie.

Then, in order to fund my education, mother went to a Match Factory to bring home some used matchboxes, which she filled with fresh matchsticks. This helped her get some money to cover our needs. One wintry night, I woke to find mother filling the matchboxes by candle light.

So I said, “mother, go to sleep; it's late: you can continue working tomorrow morning." Mother smiled and said "Go to sleep, son! I'm not tired. " This was Mother's Third Lie.

When I had to sit my final examination, mother accompanied me. After dawn, mother waited for me for hours in the heat of the sun. When the bell rang, I ran to meet her,mother embraced me and poured me a glass of tea that she had prepared in a thermos. The tea was not as strong as my mother's love, seeing mother covered with perspiration; I at once gave her my glass and asked her to drink too. Mother said "Drink, son! I'm not thirsty!". This was Mother's Fourth Lie.

After Father's death, mother had to play the role of a single parent. She held on to her former job; she had to fund our needs alone. Our family's life was more complicated. We suffered from starvation. Seeing our family's condition worsening, my kind Uncle who lived near my house came to help us solve our problems big and small. Our other neighbours saw that we were poverty stricken so they often advised my mother to marry again. But mother refused to remarry saying "I don't need love. " This was Mother's Fifth Lie


After I had finished my studies and gotten a job, it was time for my old mother to retire but she carried on going to the market every morning just to sell a few vegetables. I kept sending her money but she was steadfast and even sent the money back to me. She said, "I have enough money. " That was Mother's Sixth Lie.

I continued my part-time studies for my Master's Degree. Funded by the American Corporation for which I worked, I succeeded in my studies. With a big jump in my salary, I decided to bring Mother to enjoy life in America but Mother didn't want to bother her son; she said to me “I’m not used to high living. “That was Mother's Seventh Lie.


In her old age,mother was attacked by cancer and had to be hospitalized. Now living far across the ocean, I went home to visit Mother who was bed ridden after an operation. Mother tried to smile but I was heartbroken because she was so thin and fragile but mother said, “Don’t cry, son! I'm not in pain. " That was Mother's Eighth Lie Hmmmmmmm-telling me this her eighth lie, she died. YES, MOTHER WAS AN ANGEL!


M - O - T - H - E - R ..........................................................................................
"M" is for the Million things she gave me,love, protection, warmth,attention, smiles etc
"O" means only that she's growing old (she is still beautiful and amazing)
"T" is for the Tears she shed to save me
"H" is for her Heart of gold
"E" is for her Eyes with love-light shining in them
"R" means Right, and right she'll always be-bless you mum.....


Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER" a word that means the world to me.........

Now send in your comments about your mum and  share if your mother means the whole world to you.
May God bless all mothers and future mothers.
