 …… we continue to spend fortunes on an stupefying array of distractions supposedly designed to make us happier than Liz Taylor at a wedding: Cosmetics that contain everything from the placenta of unborn goats to a pound of pig fat mixed with volcanic ash and “19 secret ingredients from the rain forest”; diet products to remove mountains of blubber gained by stuffing ourselves because we are so damn miserable, and miserable because we are so horribly fat; cosmetic surgery in every place from facial to other cheeks; mind-numbing cruises to paradise; luxury boats that never leave their luxury marinas; hard drugs; soft drugs; alcohol; anti-depressants; uppers; downers; frenetic gambling to hit the big time; jewelry that is too expensive to wear; image marriages destined to last all of six months; mink-lined designer toilet seats; lottery tickets; tobacco products we know will kill us; and billions of tons of electronic and plastic and toxic junk that add nothing to our lives and create only clutter, pollution and landfill. |
| ……. if we accept the reality that life is difficult, demanding and often painful, then the day-to-day living of it is no longer so onerous. In accepting life as it really is, we transcend it. Or, as they say on Wall Street, ‘The market has already discounted the bad news.’ |
| ‘The greatest love of all is happening to me...’ So goes the popular song. It's a great song. It speaks to the heart, and deeply. It strikes powerfully to uplift the human spirit, at the quest for self-love and self-esteem, the pride in being alive that each of us is entitled to experience simply by being born a human being. |
| A dedicated funding stream doesn't necessarily mean it has to be a new tax. It could be from dedication of an existing source. |
| About the process of growing up ….. What follows is tragic. We stop risking for fear of making mistakes, fear of not fitting in, fear of being embarrassed or humiliated by saying the 'wrong' thing. Our instinctive joy and boundless enthusiasm are replaced by playing it safe and looking good. Our spontaneity deserts us, and with it much of our natural creativity. Predictability replaces passion. We learn to reveal very little of who we really are and what we really feel. We sell the richness of our passionate birthright for the security of this burdensome thing called our ‘image’. It weighs us down like a suit of medieval armor, restricting our every move, sapping our vitality and aliveness. We wander through life on automatic pilot, controlled by the need to live up to the false image that we invented. |
| All the concepts about stepping out of your comfort zone mean nothing until you decide that your essential purpose, vision and goals are more important than your self-imposed limitations. |
| Any talk of cuts to federal employee or federal retiree benefits is a complete non-starter. |
| Before (Parks) passed we decided this would be an opportunity to honor any and everybody, known and unknown. We are going to pay more attention to unsung heroes and average participants of the boycott. |
| Being in resistance to 'what is'—fighting gravity all the way down—is what makes life brutally demanding. Life is naturally much easier than we make it. Trees grow, flowers bloom, birds fly, sloths don't seem to do a hell of a lot, and I assume that platypuses do platypussy things – all without resistance to “what is.” All species are designed to live that way: without resistance. Except humans. We complicate things and make life hard for ourselves by resisting life as it is. We try to change things over which we have no control. We want gravity to be different, for the immutable rules that govern our existence to somehow be suspended for us. |
| Choosing to live an extraordinary life is simple. This does not, however, mean that it is easy. |
| Condo converters are incredibly leveraged buyers. They are very sensitive to changes in interest rates. |
| Congressman Davis has strong ties to the Korean-American community and thought it appropriate to recognize their achievements through a resolution. |
| Contrary to what many people think, there is no such thing as an unimportant broken agreement. There may be bigger external consequences for breaking some agreements than others—but there are no broken agreements without a price. |
| During the four years that it took to resolve this case we never wavered in our unflagging commitment to publicly demonstrate the we offer excellent services to our clients, we treat our chiropractors fairly and we make available to patients quality care at an affordable price. We are glad to see resolution. |
| Every time you break an agreement you lose self-esteem, self-respect and self-confidence, and you lose other people's trust in you. Every time you keep an agreement you increase these same valuable assets accordingly. It is just the way things are. |
