10 Commandments for Peace of Mind

Peace of mind is the most sought after 'commodity' in human life. It appears that most of us are in a state of perpetual restlessness. On analyzing the causes of this restlessness, I have ventured to find for myself ten solutions that need to be followed religiously if we are serious about achieving perfect peace of mind.

1. Do not interfere in others' business
Most of us create our own problems by interfering too often in others' affairs. We do so because somehow we have convinced ourselves that our way is the best way, our logic is the perfect logic, and those who do not conform to our thinking must be criticized and steered to the right direction, our direction. This kind of attitude on our part denies the existence of individuality and consequently the existence of God, for God has created each one of us in a unique way. No two human beings can think or act in exactly the same way. All men or women act the way they do because they are prompted to do so by the Divine within them. There is God to look after everything. Why are you bothered? Mind your own business and you will have your peace.

2. Forget and forgive
This is the most powerful aid to peace of mind. We often nurture ill feeling inside our heart for the person who insults or harms us. We forget that the insult or injury was done to us once but by nourishing the grievance we go on excavating the wound forever. Therefore it is essential that we cultivate the art of forgiving and forgetting. Believe in the justice of God and the doctrine of Karma. Let Him judge the act of the one who insulted you. Life is too short to waste in such trifles. Forget, forgive, and march on.

3. Do not crave for recognition
This world is full of selfish people. They seldom praise anybody without selfish motive. They may praise you today because you are rich and have power but no sooner you are powerless, they will forget your achievement and start criticizing you.
Moreover, no one is perfect. Then why do you value the words of praise of another mortal like you? Why do you crave for recognition? Believe in yourself. People's praises do not last long. Do your duties ethically and sincerely and leave the rest to God.

4. Do not be jealous
We all have experienced how jealousy can disturb our peace of mind. You know you work harder than your colleagues in the office but they get promotions, you do not. You started a business several years ago but you are not as successful as your neighbor whose business is only one year old. Should you be jealous? No, remember everybody's life is shaped by his previous Karma that has now become his destiny. If you are destined to be rich, not all the world can stop you. If you are not so destined, no one can help you either. Nothing will be gained by blaming others for your misfortune. Jealousy will not get you anywhere, but will only give you restlessness.

5. Change yourself according to the environment
If you try to change the environment single handedly, the chances are you may fail. Instead, change yourself to suit the environment. As you do this, even the environment, which has remained unfriendly for you, will mysteriously appear to be congenial and harmonious.

6. Endure what cannot be cured
This is the best way to turn a disadvantage into an advantage. Every day we face numerous inconveniences, ailments, irritations and accidents that are beyond our control. We must learn to endure them cheerfully thinking, "God will it so, so be it". God's logic is beyond our comprehension. Believe it and you will gain in patience, in inner strength, in will power.

7. Do not bite more than you can chew
This maxim should be always remembered. We often tend to take more responsibilities than we are capable to carry out. This is done to satisfy our ego. Know your limitations. Spend your free time on prayers, introspection and meditation. This will reduce those thoughts in your mind, which make you restless. Fewer the thoughts, greater is the peace of mind.

8. Meditate regularly
Meditation makes the mind thoughtless. This is the highest state of peace of mind. Try and experience it. If you meditate earnestly for half an hour every day, you will tend to become calm during the remaining twenty-three and a half hours. Your mind will not be disturbed as much as before. This will increase your efficiency and you will turn out more work in less time.

9. Never leave the mind vacant
An empty mind is devil's workshop. All evil deeds start in the mind. Keep your mind occupied in something positive, something worthwhile. Actively follow a hobby. You must decide what you value more - money or peace of mind. Your hobby, like social work may not always earn you more money, but you will have a sense of fulfillment and achievement. Even if you are resting physically, occupy yourself in healthy reading or mental chanting of God's name (japa).

10. Do not procrastinate and never regret
Do not waste time in wondering "should I or shouldn't I?" Days, weeks, months and years may be wasted in that futile mental debating. You can never plan enough because you can never anticipate all future happenings. Always remember God has His own plan too. Value your time and do things. It does not matter if you fail the first time. You can rectify your mistakes and succeed the next time. Sitting back and worrying will lead to nothing. Learn from your mistakes but do not brood over the past. DO NOT REGRET! Whatever happened was destined to happen only that way. Take it as the will of God. You do not have the power to alter the course of God's will. Why cry?

7 Forms of Anger and how to transform it

Here are some types of Anger and how to transform it.

1. Irritation - You create this when things don't happen fast enough.

Transformation - Cultivate patience and a serene acceptance that everything has their own rhythm.



2. Frustration - You create this when things don't go the way you wanted to be.

Transformation - Accept the way things went, embrace them, work with them, and learn from them. Accept the way things are. Always respond pro-actively, not re-actively.



3. Grudge - You create this when you believe you have been wronged by someone in the past.

Transformation - Remember, no one hurts you mentally or emotionally. You do it yourself...always.



4. Resentment - You create this towards those whom you think have insulted you.

Transformation - Its no other`s words that hurt, its what you did with those words. Or you are jealous with someone.


5. Contempt - You create this following judgement and deep disapproval towards another's action.

Transformation - Separate the person from the action and remember their action begins with their beliefs. They have likely learned (like you) the wrong beliefs. Remind yourself that you cannot control others. Learn to influence.


6. Hate - You create this when you decide someone represents evil to extreme nastiness.

Transformation - Notice how you are making yourself an emotional slave of the object of your hate, and that means you are not free and you are unhappy. Remember everyone is intrinsically good, they just forgot.


7. Rage - You create this when you build up anger in response to others action.

Transformation -Its time to get help, attend a course, or learn meditation.

Ricky Martin - Proud to be Gay

After long years of waiting, Ricky Martin finally admitted that he's gay. And I personally admire his courage to finally accept his preference and let everyone know about it. The term "gay" was originally used, until well into the mid-20th century, primarily to refer to feelings of being "carefree", "happy", or "bright and showy" source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_(word)
Base from the definition, now who wouldn't wanna be called gay? :p

As quoted, 'I Am a Fortunate Homosexual Man' After years of keeping quiet about his personal life, pop star Ricky Martin has announced that he is gay.

"I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man," Ricky said in a message posted on his offical Web site. "I am very blessed to be who I am."


Ricky said writing his memoir and thinking about his two twin sons led him to go public.

"To keep living as I did up until today would be to indirectly diminish the glow that my kids where [sic] born with. Enough is enough. This has to change. This was not supposed to happen 5 or 10 years ago, it is supposed to happen now. Today is my day, this is my time, and this is my moment," he wrote.

Though the 38-year-old kept his sexuality private throughout most of his career, Ricky said he drew strength from that time.

"These years in silence and reflection made me stronger and reminded me that acceptance has to come from within and that this kind of truth gives me the power to conquer emotions I didn't even know existed," he continued. "What will happen from now on? It doesn't matter. I can only focus on what's happening to me in this moment. The word "happiness" takes on a new meaning for me as of today. It has been a very intense process. Every word that I write in this letter is born out of love, acceptance, detachment and real contentment. Writing this is a solid step towards my inner peace and vital part of my evolution."

Earlier this month, Barbara Walters told The Toronto Star that her 2000 interview with the "Livin' La Vida Loca" singer, where she grilled him about coming out, was a misstep on her part.

"In 2000, I pushed Ricky Martin very hard to admit if he was gay or not, and the way he refused to do it made everyone decide that he was," she told The Toronto Star. "A lot of people say that destroyed his career, and when I think back on it now, I feel it was an inappropriate question."

Godsent "Daddy"

Okay so here's the thing. I promised this morning on the way to our trip that I am going to upload pictures and write a little something about what would happen today so as promised here it is..

The day before March 14, 2009, my mom told us about this "mananambal" living somewhere in Compostela, he's very well known and respected in his place thus people calls him "daddy". They say he could read palms, cure diseases and even predict ones future. So without any hesitations I told my mom that I wanna try it out. I sacrificed not watching the "Pacquiao-Clottey" fight just to go to the mountains to meet daddy.

Before reaching to the said place, we've encountered so many trials. First of which was having a flat tire on our way there. We stopped over at Marcelo Fernan bridge luckily a Holiday taxi driver with plate number GXJ 691, pulled over and helped us change our spare tire. God works in mysterious ways, I must say. He sent us a good samaritan. Though He gave us our first trial, still he finds ways to help us. The taxi driver didn't even accept the small token of cash we gave him for doing the job. He said "kinasing-kasing na pagtabang iya gihatag" (he helped us heartily without wanting anything in return) Boy, in this generation you hardly could find someone like that. So, off to our destination.. We arrived there at around 10.30.. Here are couple of pics..



We needed to climb over the mountain with 163 steps under the heat of the sun. That didn't stop us either. Then we finally got there, prayed in their little chapel and off to daddy's place. Second trial was waiting. Someone told us that daddy hasn't been seen by them since yesterday because he was feeling ill and nobody knows if he's going to come out and talk to us or not. Another bummer huh?!? But with faith and hope, we waited for him to arrive. And so he did came out and talk to everybody regarding their respective problems and concerns. It was pretty amazing. He seem to know everything just by looking at you and reading people's name from a piece of paper. Get to try palm reading by daddy. I really hope everything he said will be true :D

A view from the top of the mountain..


After knowing everything from daddy, we asked permission so we could go home. On our way to SRP, the final trial happened. Another flat tire..


Is this coincidence or just too unlucky?!?

We waited for about 4 hours in SRP, we need to borrow from our neighbor's spare tire because the tires we had could not be fix by vulcate. After everything, we got home around 10pm had dinner together then I had to drive my mom back home to Opon and go back to Talisay again. Got home at around 1am and now making this journal.

To wrap everything up.. It will still depend on how great and big your faith in the Lord will be. After surpassing all trials just for today, I realized that amidst our difficulties, God is always with US. Have Faith and Trust in HIM..

Goodnight..

Neobux Strategy

What is Neobux??
It is a PTC site giving off 0.01$ per click.

The Guide:
Step 1:
Start Clicking Your Ads Every day, When you reach 90 cents by clicking on your own ads (if you don't invest money) you are able purchase 3 referrals (DO NOT BY REFFS YET!), it takes a few days to earn the 90 cents on your own and people are so eager to buy referrals that they just purchase as soon as their account reaches 75 cents.
When people do this they do not realize that they do not have enough money to maintain their rented referrals and their referrals eventually are taken away because they can't pay for them.

Step 2:
Ok so before you rent referrals you should earn $2.5 by clicking on your ads (Or You Can Invest For Quickness) and then transfer it to your rental balance. This way you have $1 per referral and you will easily be able to recycle them if they are not active or pay to keep them for one more month. It will take a while to get $2.5 on your own, but this way you will be able to keep your referrals and exchange the inactive ones for active ones without the fear that you will not be able to pay for them.

Step 3:
Once you have your $2.5 in your rental balance purchase 3 referrals, Autopay is another must. As soon as you rent your first 3 referrals turn Autopay on (you will find this on the page where your referrals are listed). Referrals cost 30 cents a month to keep. Instead of you paying for the referral, they pay for themselves as long as you have Autopay turned on. What it does it subtract one of the advertisements your referral views each day and puts it towards the 30 cents that referral needs to stick around for another month. So you get one less penny from each referral, but they will be your referral as long as they are active.

Step 4:
Cashing out too early is a huge problem for people that use NeoBux.
When you request a payment it is INSTANTLY transferred into your Alertpay/Paypal account.
In order to see if NeoBux is indeed legit (which it is) many people will earn a dollar by clicking and then cash it out. Woo-hoo. You now have a WHOLE DOLLAR in your Paypal account.
That dollar should have been put towards buying referrals. With this strategy you will be putting $3 into your rental balance before you buy 3 referrals. So $1 per referral. I actually did not cash out until I started reaching +1000 refs.
Keep renting referrals by increments of 3 (you can rent by higher increments later as your referrals make you more money) and continue until you have 500 referrals. This will take quite some time. This is where most people flake out. When you reach 500 referrals, stop buying referrals and just maintain the ones you already have. Keep doing this until the money builds up to about $100 and you can use $90 of it to pay for golden. $100 won't take very long at all to get once you have 500 referrals and once you upgrade to golden your earnings will DOUBLE. This is the great part. Golden costs $90 a year but instead of getting half a cent for every advertisement your referral views, you get 1 cent. Your earnings double. That's all there is to it.

Keep renting new referrals after you upgrade to golden and don't cash out. Remember, you haven't cashed out at all, and you shouldn't until you have something like 250~500 referrals. But when you do cash out, you will be able to cash out about $50 a day. And that's the end of the strategy.

These are just a few of the stats. I will go into further detail, so read on.
Each standard view on this website is 30 seconds, and each extended view is 45-60 seconds (I don’t really know since it’s not a countdown but a progress bar…)
In order to upgrade to Premium, membership costs $90, I believe you can pay via AlertPay or PayPal. So far, I’ve been paid by NeoBux $5 in total, $2 the first time, $3 the second time. You can see the payments in the Payments section.
For suggestions, the NeoBux administrator (admin) is awesome. He listens to people and is active in their built-in forums (also the first.) He implements unique features and this site is now progressing well, I recommend you invest to earn more quickly, as it is trustworthy.
They pay to PayPal and to AlertPay, when you reach $2, then $3, continue until $10 where it stops. All payments are instant.
