After cleaning the board now I can answer here. Thanks for the kind feedback. I will. And if I made typos, or thought jumps, anyone who read this has to be fine with it or stop reading my sh*t. AMEN. I fully pacifist in real life (sometimes I play games where i've to figt xD). Violence is never an option. Not for me. I wish I could say this. But I never felt "success". I see "Oh. I got my gradiation. Fine" or "oh. I published my first book *slightly ... very slightly excited*. Fine." and so on. Especially if the most things going down after a while. Thank you. I never feel ashamed of things I write or say. Mostly my words are chosen wisely or at least very hones. But without help I can't solve my life directly. I just want to know what is this with my head. But I working on it .... I search for diagnostic appointments. Maybe in 1 year. Maybe in 2. Maybe in 4. Who knows. Until then I try to keep my head up.

You are, who you are and from what I read about you, I like, who you are. If you like writing down your thoughts in a blog and it helps you, don't let anyone take this from you. After all the most important person in your life should be you. So as long as you don't harm someone with your blog, intolerant poeple are not worth a discussion. Discussing with stupid people is like playing chess with a chicken. In the end it will knock over the board anyway. I felt a little similar in school. Boys were talking about soccer/football, girls were talking about clothes and make-up and I felt like an adult in a group of monkeys. No offense to other people, they all may have a nice personality but this is how I felt at the time. So I only had a few friends and since I skipped a grade in school I always was a year behind in terms of age, which seperated me from others even more. Fortunately there was no bullying but I always felt like the younger and weaker guy. So I spent a lot of time thinking about how to be normal, how to be strong, how to be successful, how to be respected and about what strength and success even means. Thoughts like: Other people of my age are strong because they go to the gym. Should I be worried about people who are physically stronger than me? On the one hand, they would probably win a physical fight. On the other hand, physical fights are stupid because you either go to the hospital or to jail. So there is not really a point in being a good fighter. Maybe that's a loser's point of view, but I'm okay with losing a fight if it means to be a winner in life. Now after a lot of work and thinking, I finally reached what I call success. It was a long way and I felt lost at times and maybe I can give others some hope and confidence to find their way.

Coronavirus travel restrictions, a planned trip cancelled, a recent hip replacement operation, turning 80 a week ago... Am I happy? NO. Am I content, perhaps. When I was young(er), I thought that getting old would take a lot longer. I can be content, yes. I had an adventuresome and full life in six countries on three continents. I have enjoyed academic and professional success. From where I am sitting now, I see a hibiscus bush blooming and a palm tree swaying in the breeze from the lake. Once in a while, a hummingbird zooms at the feeder to sip some energy for the night, and my cat lies on the couch beside me, with one paw over her eyes. So, why am I not happy, and just content? I guess the reason quite simple is that I am alone, that I have nobody with whom to share what I have. What is missing in my life is the companionship of another human being. I speak five languages, but I am not fluent in "Meow". (Sorry, cat). Perhaps, contentment is all I can expect at this point in my life.

HI! My name is Anna, found this site for accident (though there are no accidents, right?))) I practice positive well-being for quite a long time, I meditate, doing yoga, use positive affirmations, journalling an so on. Recently I started a course on Coursera "The science of well-being", and realized, how much I love positive psychology. Even starting thinking about starting a career in this field. I don't have enough like-minded people in my off line life, friends who would be on the same page with me. So this forum is a tresure box for me. Hoping to find new frieds here.

Very helpful forum to those in need of life coaching. thought this might help also in our forum who seeks therapy and coaching here's the link: <a href=“https://equineguidance.com”> Somatic Equine Therapy and Coaching</a>

Yes you can release from depression through life coaching because life coaching is to improve people lives and mental health as well.

My online friendship in expected by me and unexpected by my real life people. I am still waiting for an unexpected friendship in real life.

Yes - At least for a while. When I moved to a new town, I didn't know anyone. I shared an appartment with other people and I had colleagues at work, but we didn't to anything after work. So I would say, it is possible but life can be better with friends. I think it is better to have no friend at all than having a wrong friend, who you don't really like. But many things in life work with a community and with teamwork. And if you have friends, you are more familiar with the way, social interactions work. Also friends can help you if you want to move to a new appartment, or other things, which are hard to do alone. Friends can also help you keeping up self-reflection because they will tell you if you do something wrong.

Hey everybody! I wanted to share a cool online cohort-based meditation series exploring the themes of relationships, livelihood and money in the context of mindfulness and Buddhism.

Dharma-Gates.org/building-a-beautiful-life It's offered on a donation-basis, and is designed for young people ages 18-35.

I want to ask you if you were ever being in relationship what we're the reason for breakups Have you ever tried to bring her or him back in life? have to ever came across any moral that you need to tell the world. I am here to listen it.

It's an interesting topic, thanks for the thought-provoking questions and sharing! To me, happiness is finding meaning in life. The meaning of life may vary from person to person. For example, I personally find passion in building great things (my latest project was a Hong Kong-based online bookstore called NoteSity). It gives me a sense of achievement and accomplishment. Others find may find meaning in volunteering, teaching, helping others, so on and so forth. The path to happiness may not be It may not be easy, but I hope everyone will eventually find meaning in their life and be happy!:)

Hi Tara-- So how did it work out with "Mr. Perfectly Nice"? Are you still seeing him or did it end? Something sends my spider senses on alert when someone is overly nice...kind...attentive I get suspicious. Don't trust it. Been burnt too many times to just go along with anything. = Self Protection to avoid being mislead & ultimately hurt again So I want proof. A guarantee. So then... the tests to see if the kindness is genuine?...Can I trust it? Scary to trust...to let the guard down... to be vulnerable. When we've been abused early on in life as kids ... teens... it screws up our inner gps such that our inner guidance system (intuition & feelings) can be messed up & our self esteem & feelings of worthiness can be damaged...but it doesn't mean0 irreparable. Journalling out my feelings & connecting with divine guidance helps me. Divine guidance always speaks to me in kind ways...like a sweet loving parent might. Would love to hear an update!!

LOVE is such a beautiful experience one should have once in their whole life time Do you believe in love? Tell me your story how you fall in love and how it worked out for you.

Twenty years ago my grandpa died and ten years ago my dad almost died. I took people for granted who were there for all my life. I got to know people who care for their disabled family members 24/7. I took health for granted sometimes.

I recently seen a very thoughtful process of let go of your embarrassment,ego and whatever it comes before resolving any problem with your spouse,girlfriend,friends,parents or any relationship in your life.It taught me in the end when you look back at these moments only happy heart that matters. Tell me how you resolve Your problems or anger with your special ones.I am all ears to listen your stories.

Life is extremely hard to understand... were did we come from, what started, the big bag, why would God make us and put a forbidden tree in our mist...how can God be good if he allows bad things to happen...how can God be good if were predestined.... I have to tell you the list Goes on... I was raised to follow God....I have known he's real for a long time... honestly I think everyone deep down knows he exist... Though there are alot of question welling up in not only those who choose to deny his existence because they can't understand how he is Loving with all this terrible stuff going on around us... and who can bear believing in a God that is not Love.... Well i have, and i can honestly that God i am here now because I've attempted suicide a few times... but you know why i stopped because deep down i knew God cared or because God gave me the desire to not hurt others by ending my life. Why i was so hopeless is because i thought that God would not forgive me of my sins after being baptised... Also because of predestination and God knowing everything. Well i dont have all the answers it truly is a matter of faith trusting in something you can't see and possibly dont understand and praying.... I have been learning that God who created us in his image and breath his breath of life in us... is alot more like us. I've also learned the hard way that the devil can take Gods word and twist it around to confuse you and take away nearly all if not all your confidence and faith. Reading the bible can be dangerous if you dont take in the full message front to back meaning other areas you've read... and if you dont pray about what your reading... now there is a reason we are not to lean on our own understanding... my husband suggested to me if i dont understand something the word says and it is bothering me to pray, take whats good, and give it time. Also think on things of good report Philippians 4:8. God helped me to memorize that i asked him to I've never been good at rendering scripture. Some things I've learned and believe about God... 1. God has felt sorry for making us and has grieved his feeling that way. Genise 6:6 If you have ever felt sorry for bringing a kid into this world, and also felt bad for thinking of them not existing... you can relate. God is our Father... 2. God made us for company.... just like we get lonely he does... he wants a relationship with you. 3. Also God gave us free will... so we could willing have a relationship with him.. Think its no fun forcing someone to be with you... you want them to want to be with you. It says if you keep my commandments you love me... When we are falling in Love we often do things to please the other person. When you where a kid did you ever do something your mom or dad asked you to before because you knew it would make them happy. 4. God gets jealous like us... read Exodus 20... i am a Jealous God. 5... this one i am still unraveling with Gods help I've read of about God repenting for thinking to deal wrongly with mankind. 6. God is slow to anger so God can feel angery too.. but he is mercifully So be merciful in how you view God he has far more control over his emotions then you can imagine.. i am glad he truly understands what we go through and ive also read somewhere he would have no one perish... also he has given us a spirt not of fear but of power and a sound mind. God truly is Love choosing to do what is right. When reading Hebrews i was derail from hope and failed to finish God say i will never leave you or forsake you... I found Hebrews warns about faith... never get so down that you fail to trust that God will forgive you your sin and then get yourself trapped believing well it does not matter i allready going hell then continue in sin and dark believing that God hates you nothing can separate us from Gods Love. He hates sin not the sinner. So what question do you have about God? Pray about ask and you'll receive seek and you will find in Gods time. And dont give up on living because your lost in the question God made you and the plans he has for you are God. Your purpose in life is to be Love and Love

Hi I am nigam I always welcome new people I like to talk to them I am a good listener. I am always curious about the moments which make the people think that yes it was a miracle that can't be happen but it does really happen. I am a destiny lover I believe half is what we makes our life and the other half depends on destiny. so here I want to ask your story of miracles (the moment you never think about and it surprises you) welcome you all what's your story?

Are there places you feel a strong positive pull? Places where you feel instantly wanting to reflect about life or simply feel the overwhelming energy that makes you become/ feel grateful, just being there? I wonder if you always feel that or if there's like places that has that effect on you.

First from real life, after fail find in city community, and if than you also fail than try online. Or best is to make an animal friend.

@suedseefrucht to give more context to my post, I have known this girl since long, she has been in my class in college for an entire semester. We have worked together on multiple class presentations, projects and that is how I got to know, and eventually fell for her. For the current semester, we have done our minor project together (I am a Computer Science student), we went to the library together, studying for the semester exams. For me, we were pretty close. Recently I observed, she has an outlook towards life which summarizes as "It is necessary to be good to everyone." She is friends with everyone, literally everyone. Maybe a little popular (she got a recent popularity spike) too. I get lost in the vast majority of guys texting her all day, trying to draw her attention. The way she talks to me is the way she talks to everyone. She would literally go out with anyone who invites her (she loves to travel so...you know). She likes to live in the moment, even if it means getting a guy attached to her, only to reject him later. Also, he has rejected around 10 guys in college. We had the strongest bond in college. Now that we don't see each other (summer vacations are on, conversations on text get boring), I feel the bond loosening, I feel the need to back off, but she wants me to be in her team for projects (which is not a green signal, it is just I am on the smarter side) but I cannot decide what is best for me. I can see the bond diminishing but can't decide what would be worse - letting go of my feelings for her at the moment (to see if things work out in the future) or speaking out my feelings and fail terribly.

We are in the midst of a sudden “bifurcation” in the evolutionary trajectory of a complex dynamic system. Bifurcation creates crisis, and crisis, as we know, is both danger and opportunity. Either way, it is a prelude to change. The challenge is to choose the change that leads to a sane and flourishing world. This is a real but non-recurring opportunity. Failing to seize it means returning to where we have been: facing the prospect of our collective demise. Because for the past several decades we have been exposed to a plethora of crises, and these are likely to be as global as the pandemic, but not necessarily as temporary. They include conditions as bad or worse than a pandemic. For instance: millions dying of starvation and penury—and through epidemics and violence taking further millions with them. Hordes of displaced refugees tearing apart the fabric of more and more societies. Droughts turning fertile verdant land into arid, lifeless plains. Rising sea levels flooding a third of the human habitations on the planet. Violent storms destroying the homes of rich and poor alike. And local conflicts escalating into regional wars and turning into a global nuclear confrontation. The unsustainable processes we have created could reach fateful tipping points— points of irreversibility. We either learn to live sanely and sustainably, or we leave the stage of history. This is a lesson we have learned on the level of theory. Amazon, alexis karpouzos official site Now we are facing it in practice. global pandemic is an opportunity for consciousness change .Even if some people are depressed and do not see the light at the end of the tunnel, the pandemic we are experiencing is temporary; it will pass into history as all the previous pandemics did. But the change it brings may be lasting. It can be change for the better, or change for the worse. Making it a change for the better is an opportunity we cannot afford to miss. In a way, the pandemic is a blessing in disguise. It made us realize that we are an interdependent and either co-evolving or co-devolving living system. If we fail to make good use of the opportunity this gifts us, we expose ourselves to a plethora of crises. But if we make good use of it, we can create a better world. We can build a better world if we stop being fearful. There is nothing to fear but fear itself. What is it, then, that we need to do? we need to act differently; act as if we were part of the web of life on the planet. Because we are that, even if most of us neither realize nor act like it. We have been harming the planet, and so harming ourselves.We have ignored the interdependence and ultimate oneness of life. We need to adopt better goals. It is not “our people, our nation first”—not even all of humanity first. It is the web of life first, as it exists and evolves on Earth. When that web is safe and sound, we are safe and sound. Then we can flourish, instead of having to fight crisis after crisis. Our body is healthy when it is whole, and the body of humanity is healthy when it is whole— when it embraces and values all the beings that walk the Earth. We know this, and we have always known it. But in the modern world we have suppressed this knowledge, buried it in our desperate scramble for money and power. We have used the fabulous fruits of the human genius maibly to ach. alexis karpouzos, visual art1.mp4

I live my life as a neutral type because I feel stable and calm in every situation. Neutral life is practical but it can happen only by some awakening to spiritual journey.

I was a bit curious to discover more as you say living a neutral life means ´without focusing on positive or negative thoughts' but then a few lines down say 'But only that let go off all negative thoughts and focus on positive actions.' So, I wonder what pure neutral living means – not focusing on either negative OR positive? Perhaps by either not focusing on negative or even positive thoughts, part of what you're advocating is the calm and peace the silence of 'not thinking' bring to the mind? I certainly see that as one of the clear benefits of living a neutal life and something I try to practise. Sure, it's nice to revel in the moments of joy, but not 'chase' them so much. It seems similar to the Buddhist principle of equanimity where your mind stays calm and peaceful, even when you are facing challenging situations/discussions. Would love to know more about the techniques you suggest!

I had never heard of the concept of neutral life, but I think what you're saying makes a lot of sense. 🌻 I especially like the part about focusing on the positive, which is something I always try to do. And when you struggle to find something positive, or to hold on to it, you try and keep a neutral mind. It also connects with another thing I value a lot, which is to stay calm, and I think that ties in with the notion of leading a neutral life too 🌈
