Watch how these blind people see beauty with their eyes closed. Their perspectives on beauty are more rational than us who can see. Beauty should be something easy to achieve. You don’t need to put on makeup, have plastic surgery, have skinny or muscular body, or wear fashionable clothes. You just need to be who you are and live a happy life. Beauty is an experience of living, of finding joy....
This stunning animated short shows this philosophy in action.
Lately, I have been thinking about The Law of Reversed Effort. Simply put, the harder we work at something the less effective we are. A great example of this is the insomniac. Sleep is an entirely subconscious process, and ‘willing’ yourself to or ‘trying’ to sleep has exactly the opposite effect. The more you think about sleeping and tell yourself to ‘get’ to sleep, the more awake you become. Or think about it this way, when you are swimming, if you want to float what happens?...
101 Timeless Principles to Guide You to Your Best Life
Emotions affect us every minute and every second. When you feel anxious at work, you’re more likely to make mistakes and it’s harder to come up with great ideas.

For most people, doing an assessment is a good start, but it’s hardly enough. Even the very best assessment that reveals your faults might take you in the wrong direction because there’s an assumption made by the creator that you can’t escape: her/her concept of “ideal” performance. Their particular ideal may not be the same as yours, however. After the assessment is complete and you have received the results, the next step is important....
For most of us, we make plans to buy gifts, bake, shop, cook the right food, and decorate, but forget to plan time where we are away by ourselves doing whatever it is that makes us happy. Usually during the holidays there is enough support around (family or spouse) to look after the children while we take some time to pamper ourselves, so this works out perfectly. Why is this time so important for one to take?...
Have you ever been at supper at a friend’s home, you and your friends just didn’t have anything to talk about and had to force yourselves to just talk about something, like “so how have you been recently?”, or “oh the pasta is really nice…”?

In response to the questions above, a cappuccino has foamed milk and steamed milk, while a dry cappuccino only has foamed milk; a breve has half and half, a mocha breve has half and half with chocolate and a mocha has chocolate and steamed milk; and a cafe bombon has creme and sweetened condensed milk. Of course, if you get a hold of this chart and someone asks you for a black eye, be sure you start brewing up some espresso and American coffee instead of rushing over and cold cock him in the face....
After all, you’ll have more control over your space and you’ve heard people are more productive. This should make it pretty easy to get your boss’s okay to work from home, right? Not necessarily.

They need to trust that you’re organized and driven enough to make it work....
Those who can select a reality for themselves and those who have little choice. For the second group, the joy of receiving a new pair of shoe—usually their only pair—feels just like when a new Game of Thrones episode hits the screens.

People check their phones while they are out dining with friends, spending time with their children, and shopping; they have become almost like a third arm. Many people state that they feel “lost” without their phones, but we have functioned many years without them. So what has changed?
