Human Being Vs Human Doing

We are referred to as human beings, not human doings. Who we are in essence is our being, which will affect our doing.Being unique, when others want us to conform.Being ourselves, when there is pressure to change.Robots can do many things that humans can, often more efficiently, quickly and economically.They cannot, however, be human. Whilst they can replicate many of the things that humans do, they cannot human be.Human being is who we are, each one unique. From our DNA to our finger prints.Yo

"What If It Doesn't Matter?"

“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.” Bernard M BaruchI love this quote, basically inviting us not to be afraid of being ourselves. When I was young I was painfully shy. I wouldn't say boo to the proverbial goose.One of the great joys for me of growing older has been being liberated from what other people think. I've always admired great eccentrics and those who seem to do their own thing, or act or

Life Is A Learning Process

Often the most valuable lessons are learnt when mistakes are made.When a baby learns to walk there is a stage where being unsteady and falling over is a necessary part of the process of going from crawling to walking. Bob Proctor often reminds us that a when the Apollo missions were sent to the moon they were off target more often than they were on target. They had to keep correcting to achieve their desired destination.It is better to start and fail rather than not start at all. Thomas Alva Ed

Who Are You?

Try asking anyone this question:"Who are you?"Nine times out of ten, folks will answer by giving their name."I'm Mary, or Bob, or Jane, or Joe or whoever."But you are not your name.They may say, "I'm a student, or a teacher, or builder, or nurse, or any one of many, many professions"But you are not your job.They may say, " I'm a mother, or a father, or son, or daughter, or sister, or brother."But that's not you, that's a role, that's a relationship, that's not you.So "Who are you?"The ancient G

Nostalgia Ain't What It Used To Be!

Some have said that nostalgia is a bit like English grammar." Present tense and past perfect"Often today is the tomorrow we were worrying about yesterday.Hindsight is a wonderful thing, "If only I'd known then what I know now!"But we can't safely drive forward just looking in the rear view mirror.

Unintended Consequences

Sometimes the things we say or do can have the opposite effect of what was intended.Here in the UK our government actively encouraged us to buy and use diesel powered automobiles as they were deemed to be more environmentally friendly. But it turns out that they are far more polluting than other forms of transport. Now the powers that be want to scrap them and impose higher taxes for their use!Prohibition when it was introduced in the USA was meant to decrease the drinking of alcohol. When ena

Cliche Of The Day: "You Can Lead A Horse To Water, ."

Cliches are often cliches because they're true.Take: "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink."This is so true in many areas of life, including those who are introduced to Wealthy Affiliate, is it not?Many are lead, but fewer follow through.External motivation vs internal motivation.It boils down to how much do you want it.Trying to motivate others is tough, like pushing a boulder up a mountain.Whilst having an internal passion and desire to create, do or have the goal you
