Love - this is what it is

  Love is one of the most fundamental aspects of life. It is an emotion that can bring us immense joy, and it can also bring us great pain. Love can lift us up and make us feel like we are on top of the world, or it can bring us crashing down. No matter how we experience love, it has the power to affect us in profound ways. Love is about connection, passion, and devotion. It is about feeling seen and understood by someone else. It is about being willing to do whatever it takes to make the other person happy. Love is about selflessness. It is about putting someone else's needs before your own. It is about being willing to sacrifice your own happiness for the good of another. Love is about being willing to go the extra mile to make sure that the person you care about is taken care of and feels valued. Love is also about trust and loyalty. It is about believing in each other and having confidence in the other person to do what is right. It is about being open and honest with each othe...

Have a nice day! Because you can

  Productivity is the measure of how much you get done in a day. It's not just about working hard, but about working smart. You want to make sure that every minute of your time is spent wisely and productively so that you can reach your goals as quickly as possible. Why are goals important? Because they help us prioritize our tasks, give us direction and motivation when we feel stuck or overwhelmed by life, and keep us focused on what's important in our lives (and not just what seems urgent). Clarifying Your Goals Identifying what you want to achieve Breaking down goals into smaller tasks Setting deadlines Creating a Plan Create an action plan. When you're working on a goal, it's important to know what steps you need to take and how long each one will take. This can help you stay focused on what matters most and prevent you from getting overwhelmed by the details of the project. Organize your tasks and schedule your time accordingly. If possible, break down large projec...

Tell the truth - does your watch really work?

Which are you? The one who has a variety of useless watches that are now makeshift bracelets or the one who would dutifully take them for repairs when the battery is flat. If you ask where I belong, I'd say with those who have turned their wristwatches into some sort of 'Wrist ornament'. I don't even own a clock, the time doesn't even read correctly in my car!  The only accurate time would be the one found on my phone - that's it!  Is there something wrong with us? Why is it that almost everyone tells time using their phones, is technology the problem? I remember those good old days... way before mobile phones and way before the computers, when our wristwatches/clocks were the only alternatives, if you didn't have one, you were screwed!  I had a wall clock, I panicked if something ever happened to it... it was like living in another reality; where you were stuck in your world and the rest of humanity were in another, you felt completely cut off m...

What is your body count?

That was the question I was asked today...The evening was going quite well for me until it went from "This has gotta be the best night ever" to "Oh no he didn't!". My facial expression changed in that instant from a smile to outrage: it became glaring that this question was off-limits. I moved around uneasily in my seat; I began thinking about how best to address the situation without coming off as the 'Crazy b***h!'  Peter was a good friend, and oftentimes we would discuss random topics of interest and argue endlessly- they were resolved amicably each time but this one wasn't one of those.  I honestly don't know how we went from discussing random things to, "So, do you mind sharing how many people you have had sexual encounters with?" I was in shock for a few seconds, If I had been drinking at the time I would have choked on it and spat it out in shock! Why was this piece of information important, why would anyone want to know the numb...
