  I think it was Mark Twain that said, “… the easiest way to be happy is to try to make someone else happy”. Well… it goes along the same lines… the easies way to learn is to teach… the easiest way to get is to give… the easiest way to be loved is to love.
  
  There ya go :)
  Bright blessings~

• (6 votes) i need help.
  

  I’ll start with a little story… a priest was walking down a country road one day. He found himself feeling dismayed and disappointed as he passed by farm after farm that looked to be falling apart… the field growing high with weeds, the fences in disrepair, the farm houses looking like they were abandoned… then, as he kept walking he came across a farm that looked fantastic. The fences were all repaired and with a fresh coat of whitewash, the fields were all neatly trimed and plowed, the farm house looked like a classic victorian with brightly painted ‘gingerbread trim’…. as he walked he came across the farmer who was sitting on his tracker, but at the moment was taking a break drinking some lemonade. The priest called out to the farmer, and said, “The lord has truly blessed you with a beautiful farm my friend”. The farmer looked down at the priest from his tractor, and said, “yes father, the good Lord in heaven has been good to me, and has given me many blessings… But you should have seen this dam* place before I CAME ALONG!”
  
  The moral of the story… yes, We can look to God to fix our problems… but God only supplies the raw data, or gross materials… the rest is up to us! So, yes… the Universe, God, The Source; whatever you want to call the higher power, will send you what you ask for, but you need to be focused and you need to be prepared to 1) act quickly when it is sent, and 2) be willing to work with what is sent a little bit.
  
  So, What is your dream. If you want an extraordinary life, you need to have a dream, or a vision of what you want to be… where you want to go. Something that will inspire you… to PULL you forward. YOUR LIFE HAS NOT BEEN A MISTAKE. Everything in your life has brought you to RIGHT HERE. And this is where you are supposed to be RIGHT NOW. Right now is all you have… dwell in the past, it is the past you will keep reliving. Dwell in the future, and you will live in a dream. Dream your dream, and LIVE in right now, making the choices to make your dream come true.
  Bright blessings~

• (3 votes) I have asked this before but my husband is getting worse.
  

  “My husband appears to be in such a state of depression I’m afraid he’s trying to kill himself. He won’t get out of bed, personal hygiene is gone, he’s not eating well, and drinking himself into stupors.”
  
  If you say this to the 911 operator (are you in the USA?) they will send the police to your address. Your husband will be evaluated by the police and possibly locked up for observation (in a hospital) for a minimum of 72 hours.

• (3 votes) How do I tell my ALL CATHOLIC family I’m a pagan?
  

  [quote Nmm29]I was VERY religious when I was a catholic. Far more than my parents. I know more then them. I hate the catholics for many of my personal reasons as well. And hating something isn’t harming them.[/quote]
  
  wow… hate is not harming? Child… you do need to learn more. At the VERY LEAST… it’s harming YOU!

• If an athlete on a team comes out as gay, is it wrong for fellow same-sex athletes to be uncomfortable taking showers with that person?
  

  Being naked with people does not automatically presume anything sexual; heterosexual or homosexual. Showers are not sexual unless we make them so. Now granted men are easily aroused visually, so seeing a naked female could possible arouse a young man, but that same young man responds very differently to seeing a naked man.

• If an athlete on a team comes out as gay, is it wrong for fellow same-sex athletes to be uncomfortable taking showers with that person?
  

  Well… if you are wondering about “ethics” then yes it is wrong to be uncomfortable taking a shower with him/her. A team remains a team regardless of sexual preference or orientation. It would UNethical to ostracize him/her because of something so unrelated to the team.
  
  I understand certain homophobic people being uncomfortable in that situation however. If anyone is uncomfortable in this situation should take care of themselves by taking a separate shower.

  Not all men cheat… don’t let this one experience color your world, unless you’re willing to become lesbian.

• Hi everyone, please read and advise xx
  

  Not really. His love of you may have been beaten down by the trust issue. He may love you but if he knows you don’t trust him he’ll stay away. One text saying you’re working on yourself will plant seeds of trust in his love. One text where you don’t expect a reply. Were I in your place I would txt; “I’m sorry I hurt you; I just wanted to let you know I’m working on my issues. You’ll always be in my heart” I’d send something like that NEVER expecting a reply back, and I’d never follow it up. Just try to put him behind you while you work on yourself. Work on yourself can be full-time job so to speak…. you may not have room to think about others for awhile. Then yes, if he really loves you - he’ll be back.
