Anger is a universal emotion. Everyone has it. Business men, doctors, house wives, people in China, people in America and the president. Everyone recognizes an angry face and what it means. It’s universal, something that we come to understand at a young age. Every country and culture has anger in their everyday lives.

Anger is an important survival tool for human beings. When we face a threat, we either attack or run away. Many other animals act in the same way, as it’s built into all of our brains. Anger fuels that attack and leads to either survival or our untimely demise. Anger can either help us or hurt us. It can even cause heart attacks if left unchecked.

When it comes to anger, there are a lot of myths out there. Many of these are outright incorrect and need to be dispelled right away. One big myth is that men are angrier than women. Studies have shown that women are just as angry as men. The average occurrence of anger seems to be right around once or twice a week. When men are angry, they do tend to have more intense anger and women seem to experience anger for a longer period of time.

The next myth is that anger is bad. Anger serves many purposes, including helping to handle and relieve stress. It gives you a burst of energy or enthusiasm to help you stand up for what you believe in. It can help you defend yourself from different fears and from insecurity.

Another myth is that anger is good. While anger isn’t bad, in some cases it can also not be good. If anger causes injury, damage to property, drugs, ulcers or any other type of damage, then it is definitely not good.

A common myth is that anger is only a problem when you cannot control it. Research shows that as few as 10 percent of people actually show their anger when they experience it. The other people suppress their feelings and keep the anger to themselves. This is not healthy and can lead to serious health risks. People that suppress their anger need anger management just as much as the people that let their anger come out.

Anger is only in the mind. This is another myth that is far from true. Emotions are mostly physical reactions. Some people will experience a tight chest, or other reaction in different parts of their body when angry. Your heart rate increases, you breathe faster and your temperature even goes up before you know you are angry.

Another myth is that only certain types of people get angry. This is very untrue. Research shows that all types of different people can have anger issues. People such as college students, bus drivers, policemen, lawyers, house wives, children, men, women and people of different ethnicities, cultures and religions experience anger.

Anger appears after a human conflict. This is another myth. Many people get mad at inanimate objects for seemly no reason whatsoever. Different things cause anger in different people. The most important thing is to understand why and then you can work to control it.

5 Keys to Happy Life

Posted in Motivation

Prosperity consciousness involves adopting a mindset that leads to a life of thriving, success, good fortune, happiness and health. It is cultivated by choosing thoughts that affirm the infinite abundance of the Universe, and releasing negative beliefs systems that perpetuate the appearance of lack.

Prosperity and abundance is your birthright, although you might be sabotaging your ability to attract it to you by harboring negative thoughts that keep it just out of reach. I have highlighted five key ingredients needed to unleash the wellspring of prosperity that is waiting at your doorstep.

1. Release Any Limiting Beliefs About Money

Many of the beliefs we have about money are handed down to us by our family members. Taking a personal inventory of your beliefs about money can be very enlightening. Maybe you were taught that “money is the root of all evil” or “there is never enough to go around” or “having money isn’t spiritual”.

When you become aware of negative thought patterns you hold surrounding the topic of money, you are now in a position to turn your negative thoughts into positive affirmations. Releasing limiting beliefs about money opens the doorway to the infinite abundance available to you at all times.

2. Realize Prosperity Comes In Many Forms

Prosperity is the condition of enjoying abundance, success and good fortune. It is so much more than simply having money in the bank. Holding a newborn baby, watching a sunset on the beach, and spending time with your best friend are only a few examples of the fruits of an abundant life.

Take some time to look around and notice the myriad of ways the Universe has blessed you with abundance. Prosperity consciousness is more about how you feel about your life than about what you have in the way of material possessions. If you feel prosperous and abundant, than regardless of your current circumstances, you are blessed beyond your wildest dreams.

3. Adopt an Attitude of Gratitude

Life loves a grateful heart. When you are truly grateful for all that you have you become a magnet for greater good to come into your life. Instead of focusing your attention on what you DON’T have, spend some time focusing your attention on what you DO have.

Thank the Universe often for the abundance in your life. Affirm that you are worthy of a glorious future filled with love and success. From the depths of your soul, breathe in the knowing that there is plenty for everyone including you. Allow gratitude to shape your worldview into one that reflects an infinite flow of all good things to you.

4. Release Any Expectations of HOW and WHEN

Expectations sabotage your ability to be truly open to a multitude of avenues of prosperity and abundance. If your good has to come to you in a specific manner in order for you to recognize it and appreciate it, you might be waiting a long time.

By releasing any expectations over HOW and WHEN prosperity will show up in your life, you open the door for miracles to unfold in the present moment without being attached to the outcome. Focusing your attention on the effort you put forth in any situation while simultaneously releasing your attachment to the outcome is very freeing. It allows the Universe to handle the details from a broader perspective and keeps your attention in the present moment.

5. Bless and Prosper Those Around You

If you are critical of people who have money you are unknowingly creating a stopgap in your ability to receive greater amounts of prosperity. Universal law dictates that you get back what you give in life. You can’t complain about the over privileged upper class and concomitantly attract more prosperity to yourself in the process. It doesn’t work that way.

Instead of criticizing those who have more than you get into the habit of blessing those around by wishing them a prosperous and happy life. Reveling in the good fortune of others automatically attunes you to the same good fortune. What you want for others you also want for yourself.

The world around you reflects the thoughts you hold in mind. As you become aware of the negative thoughts that are perpetuating lack in your life, turn each one into an affirmation for prosperity and abundance. The Universe will respond in kind by sending a plethora of amazing things your way.

Staying motivated regardless of your personal situation at all times is challenging. Although most people have the basic understanding how important motivation is to stay focus and achieve success in life, many of us do not have the slightest idea how to remain motivated in life.

Staying motivated

Motivation is an undisputed factor in attaining success. All throughout history, all kinds of people ranging from a student to a businessman, have realized their dreams because they have the “drive” and motivation to succeed. However, it is also a fact that most of the time, there are simply excuses that counter the motivation that started us to do some things in the first place. A good example was my dad. He excitedly started a physical exercise in a local gym to hopefully reduce his waistline.

But within a week, he started having excuses not to go to the gym such as being too tired or having not enough time or energy. Within a month, the exercise that he started became a thing of the past. It was a classic example of being unable to stay motivated for a long time. If this trend is to continue, how can you expect to stay motivated in life? The discussion below though, will focus on how to stay motivated for a shorter term, especially in college.

Retaining motivation in College

There are studies about freshmen students showing a high dropout rate at such an early year in college. So what are the reasons why the initial excitement of going to college fizzle out and the things that you can do to prevent it? Perception, where you are so excited with the options that degrees will open up for you but would have to wait for at least four boring years to get it, is apparently the most common reason. Here are some of the practical things that you can do to stay motivated and more focused in the entire four years of college.

Set up your goals in life. Knowing your direction in life is important. The most concrete thing that you can do is to always keep in mind that it is the college degree that will take you to your dreams. Develop a positive attitude towards learning and earning your qualifications.

Do homework. Assignments and homeworks are the boon of being a student but giving up on them because they are difficult is definitely a no-no. Instead of giving up, seek help from experts and friends. Start with the easier part of the work but be sure to keep the deadline in mind. This makes it easier to complete the task at hand.

Do away with things that slow you down. Be sure to settle away personal issues that can potentially drag you into inactivity such lack of motivation, procrastination, and even low confidence. While aiming high is a good mindset, try to set a more realistic expectation in any of your tasks.

Reward yourself. Look for yourself all the time. After completing a difficult task, you may want to give yourself a pat in the back to make yourself feel good. Doing this regularly can create miracles in boosting up your confidence as well as raising your motivation level a notch higher.

1. Intro or objective

Through this article I would like to share some thoughts and opinions about an interesting topic about dishonesty. Honesty has been my favorite topic whenever I am having discussion with family, friends or colleagues. It is one of my most important core values. Before we delve deeper I would like to throw some light on the definition of dishonesty and how each of us perceives it in our daily life.

2. What is dishonesty?

Based on my experience, dishonesty or quality of being dishonest comes into action when a person is afraid of disclosing the truth or fact because of fear of negative consequences. Sometimes it is not just negative consequence but also greed and lust for accumulating or possessing something more and more in quantity. If we look inside, we also succumb to dishonesty over petty matters in our daily life, however it remains undetected and we attach least importance to it by answering our conscious that it is all right being dishonest as long as it is not harming anybody.

We can take a simple example, on one Monday morning; John reached office late by 2 hours. The actual reason was, he went for a party last night and got late there, due to which he got up late in the morning. In the fear of inviting anger of his boss, he did not call and inform his boss. Finally, he reached his office and told his boss that there was a traffic jam on the road and he got stuck. Later on, his boss came to know from a common friend about John’s actual reason of reaching office late. After knowing the truth, boss lost his confidence and trust in John.

In fact, I myself have experienced with one of my bosses with whom I was honest in all senses. I later on realized that he used to name his dishonesty as being tactical. Post that instance it was very hard for me to work with and I lost trust in him.

Similarly, you can pick several such petty instances from your daily life where we demonstrate dishonesty. We simply keep on ignoring the fact that every time we are making fake excuse we are encouraging our habit of being dishonest.

3. Is it ok to have pinch of dishonesty in our behavior?

People would argue that as long as our dishonesty is not harming anybody and we are able to get what we want in life, be it a little comfort, an easy money or good grades or may be a relationship there is no harm in following dishonesty in our daily lives.

If we look around in our social network, our bonding with people entirely depends upon the trust and respect we bring to our relationships. A small jerk of dishonesty can threaten our long years of nurtured relationships. A good example is of a marriage, which is completely founded on trust and honesty between two persons. When spouse acts dishonest over petty matters, it actually breeds bitterness, disrespect and distrust towards each other and ultimately results in divorce.

4. What does it take to be honest?

Why can’t we gather courage and be honest in all our endeavors? It is only the negative consequences that deter us and we keep on airing our dishonest behavior throughout the life. I am sure, you would love to be with a person who would make you happy honestly rather than dishonestly. It is very hurting to know that somebody faked his/her behavior to make you happy. Be courageous and ready to be honest wherever or whatever it demands. Try to have it as a most important virtue of your character.

5. Conclusion

Being honest in behavior with whomsoever you are interacting, will not only get you more respect but you would also feel more empowered and confident in your conduct. You would be able to talk to people looking straight into their eyes. Your boss, your spouse, your friends, your kids will be able to trust you wholeheartedly. Most importantly, especially if you are a parent, then being honest, you are contributing in creating a healthy society by being role models for your kids.
