  (Even If You Are Confused, In The middle Of A  Personal Crisis, Or Just Got Out Of One). Do you need to make a big decision but you feel unsure and confused? Do you want to find clarity? Maybe you've gone through a string of unfortunate events, like you lost a loved one, you suffered a bad break-up or you've strolled the long hallway of closed doors of opportunities.  Furthermore,  you accumulated mounting debts. One or all of these can send anyone into a mind-boggling tailspin. Or maybe you are fresh out of college and you ask yourself " What's next?" Confusion and indeciveness can leave you powerless, anxious and stressed. But let's not give confusion a bad rap.

 Do you feel distress? Do you feel like you're always sitting on the edge? Anxious. Depressed. You feel like you're always a moment away from your last straw. People on the brink of emotional bleeding tend to always hurt bad and hurt for long.  Sure, we may feel those day to day irritations.  And hope to wade through the sea of life not expecting to encounter a wave or even a ripple.  But that's not realistic.  Life is full of surprises. Sometimes pleasant and sometimes nasty. It's either you gasp or gulp. You're stunned and dumbed in wonder or just stare in bewildered confusion. People who are about to bleed emotionally can't seem to adjust easily.  They feel a sustained period of emptiness, ennui and boredom. They are chronically fatigued. And what's worse, if their issue is not addressed right away, they are prone to self- destructive behaviors like drug and alcohol abuse, eating binges, gambling, overspending on shopping sprees and sexual addiction.

And there are days you feel bad.You just can't stop ruminating the loss of a romantic relationship and the demise of your aspirations and drea...

Sophistication is not a nice word. It comes from the noun "sophism" meaning a false argument,intention to deceive. Nowadays,sophistication implies elagance and a manner of behaviour which sets the sophisticate at a revered distance from the rest of us. There's a thin line to tread between enigmatic and being an outcast;knowing how to tread that line is what constitutes sophistication.To do so,consider the following suggestions: 1.Live where the rich live. Even if its a cardboard box. And refer to it as your pied-a-terre. 2.Become a gourmet. Keep freshly ground coffee(Brazilian or French roast)on hand and dry white wine. French mustard,English horseradish and Italian olive oil are a musts.(The sophisticates are fussy about their food.)Get an electric squeezer and always make fresh orange juice. Use linen napkins-never paper. 3.Profess to a hatred of flying, but try to fly as often as possible. 4. Walk slowly,even if you're in a hurry. 5.Perfect the art of understa...

Our lives easily become non stop pursuit of personal power. We have been socially conditioned to worship successful performance. In the process of working hard towards what we relatively consider success, we drive ourselves to the limit, totally disregarding our minds and bodies that need time for restoration. Which consequently wreaks havoc to our whole system of being. It is not healthy to labor too long without rest.Like in working out, if you do not allow yourslef some resting time it will cause you physical burnout. The effect on the connective tissues and the muscles are counter-productive. Metaphorically, the great energy of spring is preceded by the long quiet cocoon of winter. In people, the hours of sleep give us the power necessary to make our best effort. In the fiber of our muscles, the mitochondria of individual cells need many hours of rest to recover for the damage caused by the stresses of working out. You also give it time to let your muscles grow and therefor...
