Would you instead fly or be invisible?

Recently one of my son’s favorite TV stations surveyed children. They asked kids which superpower they would rather have: the ability to fly or invisible?

 

To me, it seemed to be a no-brainer–to fly most definitely!

 

First of all, I think the ability to fly offers a lot more opportunities for fun, adventure, and freedom. Just think about being able to go anywhere, anytime you want, without worrying about traffic, road conditions, or gas money!

 

While being invisible offers a range of opportunities, it seems so sneaky to me that I feel uncomfortable even thinking about it.

 

My son agreed with me. He thought flying would be a lot more fun. There is no surprise there as he is a physical child who enjoys being on the go.

 

Then I started to think about the question. What does our choice say about us? I think I would want to know why a child would choose invisibility over flying. I would fear that a child who decided on that option already felt invisible or wished they were. I would worry about their self-esteem and security in social interactions.

You are Magic

 

You are Magic

Magic (ma-JIC): an extraordinary power or influence seemingly from a supernatural source. The attempt to define magic is difficult at best. It is used more like a word to describe than one that can be determined. The same can be said for who you are. We attempt to define ourselves, yet no adequate comments exist to describe the complexity of who we are. We can explain what we look like, the type of work, our ethnic heritage, or gender. Yet, that comes nowhere near the truth of what animates your being. You are a mystery. You are magic.

 

Historians, philosophers, scientists, and theologians have been searching for the origins and meaning of existence since the beginning of time. Various religions have been born out of an attempt to define the indefinable. We often pursue the endless pursuit to determine who, what, and why. We measure ourselves against others and their accomplishments. Each day, we are deluged with media images of what is acceptable or unacceptable. There is an ongoing quest to explain the unexplainable. You are who you are, and that is ever-changing. You are deliciously indescribable. Each moment you are remade. Every morning when you open your eyes, you begin a new journey. The choices and decisions that you make color and change who you are. You are an indefinable, magical being. Have you forgotten this? Have you allowed the world to take away your magic? Each time you have a thought or task and give it life, you create! From preparing a meal for your family or painting a picture. Everything you do adds a different dimension to who you are. Life is a mystery, and by accepting this fact, you become one with it and more able to maneuver through it.

“What Makes You Tick?” 10 questions you should ask

“What Makes You Tick?” 10 questions you should ask yourself: a preparation for self-improvement.

 

Be all you can be, but it’s not always in the Army. I often see myself as somewhat contented with my life the way things are, but of course, it’s hard to think of anything else when there are real issues to be discussed.

 

Still, I aspire for something deeper and more meaningful.

 

So we’re all pelted with problems. They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, or can they? Honestly, it shouldn’t bother or hinder us from becoming all we ought to be. Aspirations as kids should continue to live within us, even though it would be short-lived or as long as we could hold on to the dream.

 

1. What do I want?

 The question of the ages. So many things you want to do with your life and so little time to even go about during the day.

“A Better You” Your seven days program for self-improvement

I seem to lost count on how many times I’ve read and heard of celebrity marriages failing almost left and right. Not that I care (and I don’t), it seems strange that we often see movie and TV stars as flawless people, living the fairytale life of riches and glamour. I suppose we all have to stop sticking our heads in the clouds and face reality.

 

There are many ways to lose your sense of self-esteem, regardless of how trivial it could get. But whatever happens, we should all try not to lose our sense of self.

So what does it take to be a cut above the rest? Here are some things you can think and improve on that should be enough for a week.

 

1. Know your purpose

 Are you wandering through life with little direction – hoping that you’ll find happiness, health, and prosperity? Identify your life purpose or mission statement, and you will have the unique compass that will lead you to your truth north every time.

 

This may seem tricky at first when you see yourself to be in a tight or even dead end. But there’s always that little loophole to turn things around, and you can make a big difference to yourself.

What Is Iridology

What Is Iridology

Iridology is the science and practice of analyzing the iris, the most complex external structure of the human anatomy. The iris is connected to every organ and tissue of the body through the brain and nervous system. It is in direct contact with the body's bio-energetic, biochemical, structural, hormonal, and metabolic processes via the nerves, blood vessels, muscle fibers, and lymph. Iridology is expanding rapidly as it is becoming known as a valuable tool for preventive healthcare. Holistically, it is used to accurately assess the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual patterns and weaknesses for complete health analysis. It is completely painless, non-invasive, and economically viable while providing valuable therapeutic and preventive health care information.

 

Most Iridologists also incorporate the study of Sclerology into their assessments. Sclerology is the study of the whites of the eyes as they relate to the person's health. Interpreting the red lines, colorations, and markings in the sclera are closely associated with the present pathology of the body. This is based on the twelve meridians and each meridian's yin and yang aspect. The Chinese saw the lines in the sclera as a reflection of the lymphatic fluid which bathes every cell concerning the principles of acupuncture. This principle concludes that imbalances in the meridian energy register in the sclera. Native American Indians also analyzed the eyes to understand better the stresses affecting a person's health.

What Is Royal Jelly?

What Is Royal Jelly?

What's all the buzz about royal jelly, and is this popular supplement right for you?

 

Royal jelly, also known as gelee, is a thick gelatinous milky white substance secreted from glands near the head of nurse worker bees and fed to the hives queen from her larval stages and into adulthood. Its sole purpose is to stimulate her growth and development. It seems that the royal jelly acts on the juvenile hormones in the developing queen's body, allowing her to mature while the drones, which aren't given royal jelly, remain in a state of physical immaturity. A hive queen can live up to seven years, but without her special diet of royal jelly, the queen would have had the same short life cycle as any other worker bee, seven to eight weeks.

 

The Ancient Egyptians kept bees as far back as 5,500 B.C., and royal jelly has been used in Chinese medicine for centuries and still is today.
