Digg it UP - In Pursuit Of Happiness
You've finally come to terms with the fact that your debt obligations are out of control. You want to take hold of the situation and get back on track, but with your bad credit, how are you going to convince anyone to help you out? First of all, calm down. Your situation is not nearly as terrible as you think it is. You will be able to get yourself out of it if you are ready to be patient and work towards it as a goal. There are a few habits that you will have to change, and it may be hard going at first, but you will soon have a whole new set of habits and a whole new lease on life, so to speak.The next thing you need to remember is that most of your debt has been accrued due to overuse of your credit cards, personal loans and service fee obligations. These are all things that require monthly payments. With four rent or mortgage, credit cards, auto loan(s), cell phone bill, home phone bill, cable, internet, electric, water, gas, an outstanding gym payment, student loan, and other personal loans, you've a
Happiness is a moment-by-moment choice that each of us make. We must first choose to be happy and then make a commitment to that choice without changing anything in your life except your relationship with your own thinking. Do not confuse a commitment to happiness with a way to make life better in some way. This may seem strange at first but I am sure you can recall changes in your circumstances that have not lead to an improved level of happiness. Earning additional money, solving a problem, acquiring qualifications does not produce happiness. Happiness exists independently of your circumstances. Happiness is a feeling you can learn to live in.
Everything in your life is a consequence of the way you relate to your thinking. Commitment is an obligation and makes change much easier by removing uncertainty and anxiety and provides the freedom to let go of concerns as it fosters hope. Without commitment success in any venture is difficult. If you are dieting, stopping smoking, studying, starting a project or deciding to be happy, commitment is an important step. There is a great deal in life that
Sometimes the simplest things can boost the number of visitors and bids to your auction listings and increase your eBay profits.Robert G. Allen, author of Multiple Streams of Internet Income, writes, "If you are going to play online, then act like your life depended on it. Embed your web address and e-mail address in your off-line brochures, on your business cards, in every marketing message, and in every advertisement you place."This advice rings true for eBay, Yahoo!, and Amazon auction sellers as well. You need to make it easy for web-surfers to find your current auction listings. The more visitors your auctions have, the higher your eBay profits.Create a signature file and add a link to your auctions with every e-mail that you send. Most e-mail programs will allow the reader to click on any phase that begins with http://. Your signature should include a short marketing message that directs the reader to your current auction listings. Here's an example:STAR WARS COMIC BLOWOUT! - All
Quite simply, we don't know exactly how this sudden shift occurs or even when this kind of shift will occur. We do know that they exist and that they can and do occur. A sudden shift in awareness can occur in any area of human life that has to do with how we feel. Remember when you were much younger you probably believed in perhaps Fairies or fairy story characters or perhaps a more personalised manifestation such as a monster. At some point you realised what had been very real to you no longer existed as part of your reality. What was it that made you realise that these things were no longer real and that they or it, had only existed in your own mind? Why, at that particular time did this new level of understanding happen? Most of us go through these shifts in life. The imagined characters that seem real when we are young are predictable shifts but do vary greatly when the shift in our consciousness occurs. People have moments of autonomy, if only fleeting. Gaining the ability to achieve greater periods of sustained self-sufficiency is desirable as it enables you to become a whole person and enriched.
Shifts occur when we look at the same set of facts or scenario in a new way producing another insight or understanding.
Our ultimate concern or simply put our goal be it a shift or continuity or not, is what dictates control of our life and as a consequence our happiness. That ultimate concern determines other values, beliefs, associated goals, feelings, and actions.
When we make other people's approval our ultimate concern, then we make them our dominant force. We give up control of our lives and happiness. Seek your own approval not theirs. Let everyone have primary responsibility for his or her own happiness. Confusing "means" with "ends." It's not that having financial or career success cannot contribute to happiness. They obviously can contribute. But if one makes these means to happiness their end goals, then they become so focused upon the means that they may lose sight of the end happiness.
We do not have one ultimate concern, as most of us are far too diverse or disorganised or confused to be dedicated to what our most important value is or may be. We all owe allegiances to several valued concerns that constantly conflict with one another sometimes to our knowledge and at other times are simply not considered.
We have inner scuffles between our desires for success, love, friendship, security, fun, and contentment. Lack of integration among our higher values underlies much of our regular confusion and anxiety.
Some people are afraid that if they make their own happiness a primary goal in life, they will become, too self-indulgent. Happiness is probably the only human state that measures our overall physical and mental well being. It results from harmonising among our inner parts. We cannot deny important parts of ourselves and be fully happy. Happiness and love go hand-in-hand. Loving someone means we value his or her happiness. When we feel love, we feel happy, even if the love is for an object, an activity, or a person.
Responsibility follows control, so it follows that we are have greatest responsibility for our own happiness.
Why should someone else be more responsible for my happiness then I am-or vice-versa?
Have you ever been in a situation where no one will say what they really want and people are trying to make sure they please the other(s)? For example in trying to decide which restaurant to go to, one says,
"Where do you fancy to eating?"
"I don't care; what do you want to eat?"
This continues until both people become thoroughly frustrated. Is it not better if both people say what they want while considering the other's wishes?
How do you feel about other people being primarily in charge of your happiness?
How happy would you be if you sacrificed what you wanted so that you can give it up to someone else?
Do you feel more like doing something when you are doing it because you think you "should" or because you think it will make you happy?

For today’s young adults, fresh out of college and with hard skills and technological savvy, and for those who employ them, relocation has taken on a whole new meaning.Most graduates these days know they need experience first and foremost in order to get the most desirable jobs. But they don’t want to start up with just any company to get that experience. They want to work where they’ll be valued, where they’ll learn something, where they’ll be able to interact with more knowledgeable co-workers, where they will find flexibility in dress and work schedules, and, maybe most significantly, where they will make a difference.For these young adults, the old paradigm of the workplace—where company loyalty generally doesn’t always extend beyond its financial gain and suit and ties are the norm—doesn’t mean much. And because this generation is nearly one-quarter of the workforce, and will be the fastest growing segment for the next five years, it doesn’t have to.This generation, the most ethnically d

Have you ever had the experience when you are in a crowded room and someone’s cell phone rings and quiet a few people look at their phones thinking it could be theirs? This is mainly because of the common ring tones that phones have. Ringtones are the sound produced by the phone alerting the user about the incoming call.With the advent of newer cell phone technology, computer to phone connectivity and synchronization techniques, cell phone users have the power to individualize their ringtones so they can easily recognize their phone when it rings in a crowd. Ringtones have indeed become popular these days, with users being able to download ringtones from the Internet, create their own ringtones, and send ringtones from one phone to another.With the popularity of such ringtones, the phone makers themselves started the process to create and offer various ringtones specific to their own phones. Some of these ringtones were included with the original software of the phone and a lot more are available th

Everything in your life is a consequence of the way you relate to your thinking. Commitment is an obligation and makes change much easier by removing uncertainty and anxiety and provides the freedom to let go of concerns as it fosters hope. Without commitment success in any venture is difficult. If you are dieting, stopping smoking, studying, starting a project or deciding to be happy, commitment is an important step. There is a great deal in life that is beyond your control. External circumstances touch us all, illness, accidents, other people's reactions and their choices, all impact upon us. Despite all this you can make a choice regardless of what happens to be happy unconditionally. Attaching happiness to an outcome will simply create the same mental process to each specific outcome. Believing that happiness will come once you are married then leads on for example to being happy once you have children which then creates new circumstances to develop a new desire to obtain happiness having achieved the goal. For example, perhaps when your children pass certain stages in life such as the terrible two's/ starting nursery/primary/secondary/sixth form/University/have a job/left home/get married is out the way, happiness will evolve and then you will be happy once you have enough money to meet the growing family needs. Believing that by solving our problems or improving our relationships will create contentment but this means that our happiness must be postponed until some future time when the preconditions are met. You may believe that you will one day arrive at a place, happiness but it will not be sustained without the decision to be happy. There is no way to happiness as happiness is the way if you are committed to the decision.
Your commitment to happiness itself should let go of all your preconditions. No matter how difficult it seems learn and practice the mental processes that will lead to happiness. Being happy isn't always easy. It can be one of the great challenges in life. Mature and take responsibility for your own happiness - right now. Understanding is the common sense of knowing something in the here and now and that our life experience comes from the inside out and not from the outside in.
You cannot teach a man anything. You can only help him discover it within himself. Galileo
Focus on what you have and not on what you may lack. Commitment is the first step to bringing the future to the present.
