Working through pains to get the gains

thisweeksthought @thisweeksthought (15) • United States 9 Sep 19

I've been doing this for a while now - reaching out in pain to get to the next level. It has been good and bad at times. The biggest thing I've had to realize is the acceptance of the results. It seems like every time I reach out...

It’s Difficult to Lead a Healthy Lifestyle…

[eds] @ZedSmart (19786) • Philippines 9 Sep 19

That was my thought. We may try to live accordingly but there are many triggers that mislead us. Eating a balance diet, an exercise, and maintaining a good night sleep is not that achievable to some of us. I have my share of...

rey m Is it possible to be less muscular in the mirror and still feeling fit? If Fitness is to look good with muscle, is it really fitness? Healthy liver, hearth, lungs and other hidden body parts maybe is more important than the obvious pecs, delts, biceps,...

The quality of life. Body knows.

marguicha @marguicha (223795) • Chile 2 Sep 19

These last years it seems that all sorts of food are bad for one or another part of our body. And we finally ask ourselves if it is better to die of hunger. My mother was a diabetic (among other things) for several years. After...

rey m There's more to quality of life than eating. Eating is important for obvious reason. Time well spent with family, friends and the environment can have a huge impact on the quality of life even without all sorts of different flavors in food.

Being fully present in the moment. Present moment living.

Steve Marshall @innertalks (22089) • Australia 1 Sep 19

Being fully present in the moment. What could that ever mean? What does it mean to be fully present in the moment? Is anyone ever fully present, except for perhaps, God, and what is this mythical moment? Love is most alive in...

Nocturnal Writer @Nakitakona (56486) • Philippines 25 Aug 19

Attaining one's success takes a great deal of efforts and sacrifices. It's not achieved overnight. It has to go a long process before a goal is reached. Life is undergoing a process of overcoming any form of trials and...

rey m Perhaps the question maybe: when does the process of success stops and the happiness begins? Happiness is quite contagious. To stay happy, does one need to be always successful?

How difficult is inter-cultural marriages?

cyclopz @cyclopz (251) • Sydney, Australia 19 Aug 19

I have always wondered how hard it is settling down with someone from a different culture. With each partner having his/her own culture, religion, beliefs and spoken language. I think it would be interesting because it would feel...

rey m Perhaps, if there's such as a thing as mutual "unconditional love", inter-cultural marriage should not be a problem. Otherwise, like any other marriage, it will be very very challenging.

Every Chance I Get

J.N.R Dutton @jnrdutton (3186) • United States 18 Aug 19

So the other day, I told my son "I Love You", as I often do. His response, was "you don't have to tell me so much" or something to that affect. I tell him while I can though, because I know one day I won't be able to (because my...

rey m Telling your love ones "i love you" as often as possible is very important. This does not have to be just verbal, other expressions of "i love you" are also important.

Greed or Give?

Jace Cstr @jacecstr1995 (33) 9 Aug 19

Many say it is better to give than to receive. But I say, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." Some of us thinks that when we give, we lose something. But in reality, when we give, we bring hope to the ones whom we give...

rey m When one is asked to choose between greed and give, it assumes that there's a need to do so. Perhaps, when a society has less needy people, less emphasis will be on "give". Similarly, when most are affluent, being greedy may not be as tempting. Anyway, being...

Trusting God

Denise Knight @gnatsmom (2572) 23 Jul 19

"Just trust God". It is a statement we hear often, yet sometimes how to believe. When our world is spinning out of control, when we are perplexed and burdened, and when we see no solutions; it can be hard to simply trust God. We...

rey m That trust is a matter of free will, means one has a choice to make: to trust or not to trust. This is all good. However, perhaps trust in God is not a matter of free will, that is why it is so difficult. Maybe it is not a Choice that one can make, but a Grace...
