The Secret To A Lasting Relationship When a relationship becomes a one-way way street, it ends up at a dead end sooner or later. Learn to keep the traffic flowing both ways with conversation, forgiveness and mindful awareness to keep your relationship growing well into the future.

If you feel defensive, ask yourself what you're afraid of. Un-Filter Your World The world you know is filtered through your hopes, dreams, fears and worries. Forgive the Imperfections of Life Forgive yourself for not getting everything done in your day. Sow the Seeds of Love

Its not all aboute you From Los Angeles Times: It's not all about you Chances are, others aren't judging you as harshly as you think, if at all. By Benedict Carey Times Staff Writer January 13, 2003 Oh, things sure took a bad turn. Take a deep breath. A growing body of research shows that far fewer people notice our gaffes than we believe as we pace the floor in private, going over and over the faux pas. Learning to recognize this self-deception can soothe the anxiety that surrounds social interactions. The spotlight effect blinds us in several ways. A pioneer in this field, Tom Gilovich, a psychologist at Cornell, has demonstrated the same exaggerated misperceptions in several situations, such as group discussions about social issues. The findings apply to most of us, of course, but not to everybody -- some people really do live under a microscope, as a chosen way of life. Most of the time a mistake is just a mistake, not a death sentence. Yet we don't expect that same empathy for ourselves.
pataphysics magazine HOW TO BE PERFECT BY RON PADGETT HOW TO BE PERFECT BY RON PADGETT 1990 from the Blue issue Everything is perfect, dear friend. - Kerouac Get some sleep. Don't give advice. Take care of your teeth and gums. Don't be afraid of anything beyond your control. Eat a bowl of Kellog's raison bran every morning. Be friendly. Raise your pulse rate to 140 beats per minute for 20 straight minutes four or five times a week doing anything you enjoy. Hope for everything. Take care of things close to home first. Know that the desire to be perfect is probably the veiled expression of another desire - to be loved, perhaps, or not to die, ever. Make eye contact with a tree. Be skeptical about all opinions, but try to see some value in each of them. Dress in a way that pleases both you and those around you. Do not speak quickly. Stay out of debt and small swimming pools. Learn something every day. Be nice to people before they have a chance to behave badly. Don't stay angry about anything for more than a week, but don't forget what made you angry.
