Know The Difference Between Addiction and Enjoyment! There is a slim line between enjoyment and dependency. When you go a little too far with enjoyment then it leads to addiction. The post Know The Difference Between Addiction and Enjoyment!
Question:
I am 31 years old. Married. My father has been an extremely successful person in his life, professionally and personally. I have a younger brother who to is heading in my father footsteps in his life and career which makes us all very happy and proud. My wife is an extremely talented, intelligent and hardworking woman who has her dreams and aims and which she is extremely capable of achieving. Among all this happy scenario, I am stuck in a life which seems to be going nowhere. Career wise I am going nowhere in spite of putting in my best efforts and success seems to be indifferent to me. I cant leave this job for certain reasons which are beyond my control for at least another 10 years. And by then I think it will all be too late for anything. What seems to be easy and ordinary for other people just doesn’t happen to me. all along in my conscious memory my life has been a string of failed attempts, so near yet never there episodes. I have repeatedly tried to put my failures aside
and work harder but still it has been for nothing. I am a believer but of late have started feeling that even God has turned a blind eye to my situation. I really feel desperate for some miracle to pull me out of this gloom but I don’t know whether that will ever happen. I feel my life is just running out without any purpose. I have tried taking solace in good books to find my answers but to no avail. I hate to be in this kind of melancholy but don’t know what to do. I feel that I am wasting my wife’s life too because of my situation. I am not sure if anyone will have any answers. What do you think? Is there hope?
Some people suffer from procrastination. It keeps them from existing satisfied lives and achieving their full prospective. There are lots of ideas at the rear of what makes men and women waste time and the way to end, but several hit the toe nail about the go and show the point, which is: Uncover Your…
We all wear masks from time to time. How to Remove the Masks by Isha Judd Everything we judge in others is an aspect of ourselves. When we learn to become aware of our automatic responses to the thing’s others, so we can go within and use the feelings that are triggered to heal ourselves. By doing this, we transform ourselves and the world around us. We constantly see and criticize how false people are, the masks they adopt, how they compromise, and the level of mediocrity that surrounds us. We see this on the outside, in the news headlines, on social networks, on TV, in novels, but can we see it in ourselves? We swear that we are not like that, but I invite you to open up to the possibility that maybe some of this belongs to you too. Not to judge yourself, but to eradicate what is internally sustaining (albeit subtly and surreptitiously), the existence of these aspects. Everything that annoys us externally is an aspect of us, and if we can recognize it, love it and heal it, it will no longer remain hidden within, capable of generating pain and causing suffering. When we change, the world around us changes. When one heals those places of suffering, and the lack of love within, the vibration of love rises in everything. We all deserve to experience this. How can I make this change? If I do not like something on the outside, first I need to ask myself: where is that within me? How can I change that in me? Moreover, then I must remain willing to make that change so that it can begin to happen. Here is an example: “They deceive me, they lie to me, they disappoint me, and they abandon me…
You criticize your brain when you begin failing to remember things. When you don’t feel so good because you stayed up late and drank till 3am, you won’t be working in the workplace like a sharp tool. When you don’t even discover what doesn’t function amongst the options you generate and suggest for during meetings,…
Sometimes, all we need is something that can keep us motivated and get us back on track. We hope the following suggestions will do merely that for you. Appreciate failing Many of us find failure a little bit too daunting. For them, failing on something- whether it’s a simple objective or a grand undertaking- is…
Sometimes you just want simple homemade chocolate chip cookies. I get it. Mix a few ingredients together in a bowl, plop them on a cookie sheet, bake, then eat. Well my friend, these are the cookies for you. In my cookbook I actually have two chocolate chip cookie recipes. One is this Simple Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe, for the straight to the point (mouth) people, and then another one that is a little more labor intensive, but results in the best, most perfect Soft Batch Chocolate Chip Cookies you’ve ever had in your entire life. Fun fact: that Soft Batch Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe took about 20 times to get just right. Worth it. These Simple Chocolate Chip Cookies are a strong second and even better they take like 3 seconds to whip up.

I don’t know about you but, I love cookies. I mean like, LOVE cookies. Like sometimes I just walk down the cookie aisle at the grocery store and have wonderful daydreams about stuffing my face. One day I’m going to just go crazy. I’m going to buy every single flavor of Oreo cookie that they make and then sit and eat each one of them and then rank them in order of which flavor I like best. You know, for scientific purposes. It’s a study in flavor. I would do it for Cookieology research everywhere. It’s going to be fantastic. After I wipe the crumbs off my face and my shirt, and drink a gallon of milk, I’m going to make the famous Jacques Torres Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe that was featured in the New York Times, only I’m going to make it with browned butter instead of regular. Then I will eat all of those too and call it a day.
So until that fantasy day arrives. I’ll just make these. I would just grab some Cappellos cookie dough because that’s super easy and I love them too, but no matter how hard I try, they never make it to the oven. I just end up eating the raw cookie dough. Because…cookie dough. One time I even turned on the oven and lined a baking sheet with parchment paper, with every single intention of baking them, but then I just stood there and ate the dough while I was waiting for the oven to pre-heat. #vanessaproblems
So besides cookies and Oreo fantasies, life is good. Still working on my super sweet snowboarding skills and I just discovered Snapchat. I know, so late to the party. I hated Snapchat forever because it’s not very user friendly and you pretty much need an 18 year old to explain it to you. I feel like I’m way more tech savvy than stooping to those levels so I just said F it. Then one of my co-workers who is well over the age of 18 showed me the ropes and I was like, fine, I’ll download it (insert eye roll here), and now I love it. I want to add more friends though because now I need to know what everyone is doing, all hours of the day. I also like Snapchat because if you have to obligatorily add someone as a friend, you never have to look at their Story if you don’t want to and see their kids or pets that you don’t care about, like you do on Facebook. I want to delete Facebook until the election is over. We get it…Also I like Snapchat because it doesn’t have to look pretty like on Instagram. Everyone on Insta is so artsy! Which, honestly I love, but it’s hard keeping up with it. Snapchat is like Instagram’s ugly cousin. Don’t tell Snapchat I said that. You should make these cookies and then Snapchat them.
