Despite society’s seeming obsession with competition and one-upmanship, the raw and sometimes hard-to-live-up-to truth is that our planet is a closed system - there is no actual “away” to throw things, no true “other” to be afraid of and no possible difference between the suffering of one and the suffering of all, even if that isn’t apparent at first glance.
As many spiritual and religious teachers instruct, we are all one with our brothers and sisters, and we are all brothers and sisters. Just as you can’t sanely or healthily cut off one finger to “leave more stuff” for the rest of the hand, neither can you pollute, exploit, undermine or hurt one part of earth, one population of people or one species of life without it eventually coming back to hurt us all.
In a closed system, we either all win or we all lose, as a group. A quick visualization of an ant farm or an aquarium in which one inhabitant or group of inhabitants is attempting to ruin or exploit the other inhabitants’ abode and life-support systems for their own benefit - and in the process rendering it unlivable or even dangerous - without affecting themselves points up the concreteness of this reality and the absurdity of behaving otherwise. But the truth is, we do this everyday and we do it with that same self-satisfied and smug attitude that reflects a similar complete state of denial of the absurdity of our actions.
No matter how big or open it seems, the earth is just one big ant farm and we are the ants. We destroy, endanger, exploit or otherwise screw up the “other side” at our peril - indeed our own peril is only just now becoming alarmingly clear to us in many ways with the advent of undeniable climate change, unsustainable lifestyles and unavoidable economic crises.
How are you willing to shift your attitude and behavior to encompass this understanding of a “one for all and all for one” existence? How does your current life reflect the reality of unity - and how does it deny it? As much as we might not care for it, change toward and acceptance of the need to embrace all life as sacred is coming, and none to soon in the opinion of many (and hopefully, none to late, either). It is quickly becoming apparent that we either all cross the finish line together or we all lose the race. Are you ready to open your arms to the world?

Life Coach Advice
As an expert in self development, I can tell you that there isn’t a person I have met yet that isn’t successful. In fact, there isn’t a person who is not successful. Not only are you successful, but everyone you know and don’t know are successful as well. You question this? That is natural. After all, you may not feel all that successful and at the very least, you don’t consider most people you have known or seen successful.
Yet, I still insist that everyone is successful no matter who they are and what they are doing. That is, without question, a fact. The question is not whether or not a person is successful; rather what they are being successful at.
Remove the idea that success means that there is a positive outcome. Think more about success as the ability to follow through with behavior to produce any outcome. A definition of success is “to end up with the intended result.” Nothing is ever achieved, good or bad, without successful behavior.
The results in our lives (be they positive or negative) take time to realize. No one walks into a gym and gets in shape the same day. Getting in shape requires that you develop successful behavior towards the result of being in shape. First, the person makes a choice, either on a conscious or unconscious basis, which internalizes the decision to get in shape. Next, the person follows through with the behavior, works out, and eats correctly so that over time the result of being in shape is realized.
We consider the behavior of getting in shape and producing that result a success. Conversely, the same is true about negative results. It takes successful behavior to produce a negative outcome. Just as getting in shape takes time, an alcoholic does not become addicted the first time he or she has a drink. They internalize a decision either on a conscious or unconscious level and follow through with consistent behavior that successfully results in alcoholism.
Therefore, whether you are making money or not, either is a result of your successful behavior. If you are in shape or overweight, both are successes. Whether you have a good or a bad relationship, a job you like or not, A’s or F’s in school, everything is a result of the choices you are making and each is a success in that regard.
The importance of recognizing both your positive and negative results as successes means that you recognize that you do have the ability and power to produce results through successful behavior. What this also means is that you know how to be successful. The problem is not your inability to be successful, but rather the choices you make in what you decide to be successful towards.
This means that you do not need to learn how to be successful. You need to learn how to make different choices and then follow through with the successful behavior you already know. Interestingly enough this applies equally to negative and positive behavior. The most successful people you can think of in business, entertainment or other, often are not flourishing in other areas of their lives. One can have isolated success yet maintain a very unhappy or dissatisfied life.
I often challenge people to decide to mirror their positive successful behavior in all areas of their lives creating what I call a balanced successful life. You can achieve this through recognizing your successful behavior and working towards positive outcomes and self-development. The guidance of a proper self development program can work as a roadmap to the life you want to create.
I like to over simplify the idea of success and say that if you can put on a pair of shoes, then you are successful. In order to put on a pair of shoes a person has to first make a decision to do so, select the shoes they wish to put on then follow through with the behavior to put on the shoes. Once the shoes are on, that person has produced a success. The question now is what shoes are you successfully deciding to walk through your life in? The truth is you can wear any shoes you choose!

The sort of mind inside a Pessimist’s head is somewhat different from that of other people’s point of view. It is also not hereditary but it is developed through a series of misfortunes in a person’s life. The environment he has including the influence of friends, family and people around him that helped mold his character to become a pessimist. It can develop in the latter years of a person’s life if in case adversity dwelled upon him just recently.
What is going on inside the mind of a pessimist? Of course by this point, you’ll be thinking, negative impressions on everything around him, bad thoughts that could happen, or just simply the outlook to get the least hopeful vision of things.
I am a believer of destiny and I once shared my thoughts to a friend who is a crystal-clear pessimist, she told me things like “there is no such thing as destiny”, asking me questions like, “Are you even waiting for your soul mate? That is never going to happen no matter how many lifetimes you live through”. From these kinds of answers you could see the phrases: “no such thing” and “never going to happen”. NO and NEVER is a powerful word. Thus making these words convey the NEGATIVE thoughts in my friend’s mind. For everything I told her, she always has a contrasting idea next to mine, making it impossible for positive conclusions. You would always notice that a pessimist would always have contrasting ideas, negative thoughts, bad comments on really good things, etc. You might even think or wonder if they are just bitter persons. But normally, they are just like that. As for my friend I would have to live with that.
Do you know anyone who is a pessimist? Have you ever been in a situation wherein you were sharing all the good things that you are planning in the future and then the pessimistic friend always is in contrast with your ideas, telling you that this might not be good for you and telling you a lot of “what if’s”? It’s really annoying isn’t it? Some pessimists would burst your bubble because of their negative vibe over something which is absolutely always a negative one. Do they even make sense of what advice they could give you? Well, YES! Sometimes thinking of conversing with pessimistic people is a nuisance, but when you really go over everything that you have been talking about, they do make sense in some ways. Like when the topic is all about business and let’s say you wanted to open a unique one, sometimes the viewpoints of a pessimistic person would help you realize that it may not work especially when you do not have enough money to subsidize the business you have in mind. Some people would enlighten you that this business would be good and the like, saying all the positive outlooks they have for it, but sometimes it is also helpful to look at things in the harmful
side too.
A lot of articles I’ve read say that people should avoid Pessimistic points of view especially for those who are depressed or has a behavioral disorder. It also said that a pessimistic mind would give them additional burden and would give them an added negative outlook in life, thus worsening the confusion inside their heads. For this one I agree. Depressed people need not more negativity to damage their already wrecked thoughts.
Going back to examining a pessimist’s mind, has it ever occurred to you that once in your life you also became a pessimist in some situations wherein you were not able to control it? You’re human! Then it must have happened to you one way or another! Particularly in dead-end situations wherein your pessimistic mind prevails over the optimistic person you are! Being a pessimist has a positive outcome too, it’s not at all that bad to have known someone who is like that. Little did we know that inside our heads, there is also a pessimist’s point of vi

The practice of Yoga has been used for centuries to promote a sense of physical and spiritual well-being. Although the origins of Yoga are shrouded in mystery, it is generally accepted to have begun at the dawn of civilization some 5000 years ago. A number of respected scholars have suggested that Yoga grew out of the shamanistic culture of Mehgarh, located in the region now known as Afghanistan. In fact, many facets of Hindu culture have their roots in Mehgarh.
The principle goal of the practice of Yoga is to assist practitioners in the transcendence of the human condition. It was an attempt to discern the order of the cosmos, and to apply those principles to daily living. Yoga has been linked to the Indus-Sarasvati civilization, which was one of the oldest and most advanced of the ancient cultures. This civilization also gave birth to some of the oldest scriptures ever discovered in modern times. The Vedas are considered by many as a form of divine revelation, and contain many references to a higher power and to the practice of Yoga.
On the physical plain, Yoga has shown incredible promise in treating and managing many illnesses. The practice of Yoga has a number of physical benefits for practitioners. It facilitates flexibility, and assists in the lubrication of joints, tendons, and ligaments. Many of the poses and positions work to massage the organs, thus stimulating the body’s detoxification process. The physical benefits of Yoga are often considered secondary to the spiritual development. Yoga has the incredible ability to bring into harmony the physical and the spiritual elements of the individual experience.
Meditation also plays a significant role in Yoga. By combining intense meditation with specialized physical exercise, practitioners are able to achieve a unity of body, mind, and soul. The intent is to create a sense of balance and harmony, both internally and externally. The emotional calmness associated with meditation works to reduce stress, which is considered by many as one of the root causes of physical illness. The primary goal of Yoga is to empower the individual to transcend the physical world and to achieve a sense of enlightenment or self-realization. For those interested in understanding and fully realizing the oneness of all things, a commitment to the principles and practice of Yoga will undoubtedly unlock the secrets of the cosmos in all their wondrous glory.
Brodi Saatpha has been practicing Yoga for a number of years. When she is not striving to transcend reality, she writes for yoga-insight.com - an enlightening and refreshing website with information about the history of yoga, yoga certification, worldwide yoga retreats and more.

Although the exact date remains a mystery, it is commonly thought that cuckoo clocks first made their appearance around 1730 in the Black Forest area of Germany. To this day, even with all that has come along with modern experience, skill and technology, no other clock or timepiece has made the lasting impression that the Cuckoo clock made at the time of its introduction. Although there are a number of conflicting stories about who actually made the first cuckoo clock, the invention is generally attributed to a gentleman by the name of Franz Anton Ketterer, from the town of Triberg.
The first cuckoo clocks were entirely made out of wood, including the internal plates and gears. As time went on, the inner workings and decorations of the clocks became more sophisticated and ornate. The birds’ wings and beaks became animated, and some were even decorated with feathers. The inner workings of the clocks were improved with the introduction of metal gears and metal plates. Soon family scenes, hunting scenarios and military motifs gained in popularity, all accentuated with the “cuckoo” call on the half hour and on the hour.
All of the early cuckoo clocks were handmade including the inner timing mechanisms as well as the ornate decorations. The farmers in the Black Forest would spend the winter months making hand crafted cuckoo clocks from the local resources in their surrounding environs which gave the clocks their distinctive, rural look. The clocks were then sold during the warmer months both as timepieces and as works of art.
As the world became more industrialized in the late 1800’s, the cuckoo clock industry was no exception. Cuckoo clock manufacturing houses dotted Germany and various other countries in Europe. It was still partially a cottage industry, with work being done in people’s homes and barns, but there were also a growing number of factories. The work was split between the decorators and the masters of the inner workings, with technological advances in each area in order to offer clocks increasingly complicated and ornate and keep up with the growing competition. In the relatively small village of Triberg, it is estimated that by 1850 there were some 13,500 people engaged in some part of the manufacture of cuckoo clocks, working for over 600 different manufacturers, and all because Mr. Ketterer managed to duplicate the sound of a cuckoo bird!
