13 tips to help you achieve a more satisfaction and become more confident in all areas of your life. 13 is traditionally thought of as unlucky but not with these 13 tips. Quite the opposite in fact.

1. Go quietly about your business, work as hard as you can. Nothing can be achieved without hard work. But always remember that there is great peace in silence.
2. As far as possible without compromising your own values,do you best to get on with everyone.
3. Speak the truth quietly and clearly but also listen to others. Their views on life are important too even though you may not agree with them.
4. Avoid loud and aggressive persons. They will just drag you down and put you in a negative frame of mind.
5. If you compare yourself with others you may become bitter or de-motivated. Remember that there will always be people who have more money than you out there. So do not be bitter or envious.It is a waste of time. Keep in mind that when you are feeling envious about someone they are probably out there dancing! .

hand there are lots of people out there who genuinely want to help you acieve your goals. Use your judgement wisely.
7. Be yourself.Do not feel that you need to change to impress other people. Keep your self repect and integrity intact.
8. Learn from your own experience and those of others, especially those who have succeeded in getting to where you would like to be.
9. Nurture a strength of spirit to shield you when your plans go wrong as they probably will do from time to time. But do not build problems up in your mind to appear worse than they are.Things often seem worse when you are tired or feeling down.
10. Although self discipline is absolutely necessary in order to achieve your ambitions and goals you must be gentle with yourself at the same time.Treat yourself well and you will find it easier to treat others well.
11. You are a child of the universe created to live the best life that you can. You have a right to be here, and have a duty to live the very best life you can not just for yourself but for your family and friends too.
12. Do not worry! Instead clarify your problem. Break it down into small pieces and deal with it that way. Never hide from problems. that will only make things worse.
13. At the end of the day we are all striving for similar outcomes in our lives. So,whatever your aspirations,in the noisy
confusion of modern life, always be at peace with yourself. We have so many opportunities in this great world of ours. More so than in any other time in history. So scoop them up and enjoy your journey.It is a a beautiful world.

"Does he like me?" is an age old question. If you weren't so busy being insecure you would know the answer in seconds. You can tell if a guy likes your girlfriends can't you?

Take a step back and notice the signs.

Does he actually look into your eyes? Is he interested in what you have to say? Does he rearrange his schedule to make sure that he can see you? Hmm all good signs.

Does he put up with romantic comedies, your interest in clothes, your friends? Has he actually introduced you to his friends?

Does he act like you are the only woman in the room?

Is he unable to keep himself from touching you? Hand on the arm or the small of your back?

Can you talk for hours? Does he stay on the phone for longer than ten minutes?

Has he casually brought up a movie that just happens to be playing?

These are just a few signs when a man likes you.

Now just because a man likes you doesn't mean that you have to date him. Don't make the mistake of dating a man just because he is there. Not every guy is right for you, even if all of your friends think he is "so cute" or you haven't had a date since Ben and Jerry's was invented.

Learn how to tell if a man likes you, yes, but use your gut instincts to tell if you should go out with him.

How to Make a Man Interested in You

Men are like snowflakes. No two are exactly alike. So answering this question is not as easy as it seems. There are specific things that you can absolutely do to raise a man's interest. But if he likes curvy blonds who love to sky dive and you are a five foot two stick who can't stand heights and has no intention of getting a boob job then getting his attention may not be in your best interest.

You want a man who can appreciate your assets. If you do catch the attention of a man who craves your exact opposite and you try to become that person to please him, you will only end up losing yourself. Why do you think so many people divorce? Before I let you in on the secret to attracting a man, I have one word of advice. Choose wisely.

How to Make a Man Interested in You with Body Language

That said, let's talk about the secret of body language. As you sit in a restaurant, cafe or across the aisle in a classroom, you are unconsciously sending out signals. Sometimes the signal is come to mama and some times it is stay away or get your hand bitten off.

If you want to attract a man you must take control of the signals that you put out. If you are going to a cafe that your guy frequents, leave your books, computer and book bags at home. You don't want to inadvertently place anything in his path. Or send out the signal buzz off I'm busy.

Keep your arms away from your chest. Crossed arms are a definite leave me alone signal.

Instead look him in the eye when he enters a room. Keep making eye contact. Then smile. Nod to let him know you noticed him. Nodding is a gesture that is mostly used by men . When you use it it will catch him off guard a bit and make him notice you.

When launching a campaign to catch a man's attention, take extra care with your appearance. If you are miss nature girl, try adding just a bit of make up to freshen your appearance.

How to Make a Man Interested in You with Scents

Dab an alluring scent on. I do mean dab it. Add a hint behind your ears. A bit on the pulse points of your neck, wrists and behind the knee. Pheromones touched beneath your nostrils can also be a powerful seduction tool. They are odorless and will have his gaze drifting in your direction.

Click on the link at the end of this article to find out more about pheromones.

How to Make a Man Interested in You with Mental Stimulation

What is your guy interested in? Does he wear a particular sport's jersey? Does the mention of his car, boat, motorcycle have him writing sonnets? Does the site of a fishing pole bring tears to his eyes? Show an interest in his passions and he just may show an interest in you. While other women's eyes may glaze over yours will sparkle with interest. A woman who actually listens to him and has a real interest? How could he not find you more attractive? Do some research, find a way to make it exciting. Truly share his enthusiasm

Aging begins as soon as you are born. Operations of the human body begin to age as an infant and occur throughout your whole entire life. Around middle age of an individual, we become more vulnerable to daily wear and tear. Aging is unfortunately only truly recognized and defined as a condition for individuals when it begins to generally affect physical and mental functioning of that person. Aging does not have to be an issue though if you take simple steps to reverse some of the symptoms of aging. There are ways in which you can age successfully, healthy and happy.

During the later stages of life, a person is more prone to having problems with various functions of the body and can begin to develop any number of chronic or fatal diseases. The cardiovascular, digestive, excretory, nervous, reproductive and urinary systems are predominantly affected. Some of the most common diseases associated with aging include:

- Alzheimer's
- Arthritis
- Cancer
- Diabetes
- Depression
- Heart Disease

Humans reach a peak of growth and development around the time of their mid-twenties. From that age till they become a senior adult the aging process begins to take its toll and start to affect the body's basic functions. Some of the body functions that are most often affected by aging as an elderly or senior adult include:

- Decline of hearing and visual abilities
- Fat to muscle ratio
- Decrease in water throughout the body
- Decrease in the ease of digestion
- Decline in sexual hormones and sexual functioning
- Decline in sensations of taste and smell
- Changes in cardiovascular and respiratory systems
- Decreased function of the nervous system
- Decline in bone strength and density
- Gradual decline of hormone levels
- Memory loss

Although the thought of any of these ailments seems like a nightmare, they do not have to be. Views on aging have been changing over the past several years. We know for a fact that people are living longer and healthier lives now more than ever before. Aging for many years was looked at as an unfortunate condition that meant physical decline and illness for aging adults. Seek comfort in the fact that the rate of disability and disease among the elderly has declined dramatically with the help of a variety of anti-aging dietary supplements and aging awareness.

There are many different supplements, products and ways in which we can reverse some of the affects of aging. Take for instance the use of hormones to help promote aging well as an older adult. As we age, hormone levels naturally decline, that is why many aging adults take hormones such as Growth hormone, Melatonin, Testosterone, Estrogen and Progesterone to help replenish and combat the loss and decline of such hormones in the body. Many other aging adults take supplements like Beta Carotene and Coenzyme Q10. Beta Carotene for instance is found in many plant sources such as green vegetables. With the help of antioxidants, it helps convert Vitamin A to help repair skin cells and give your immune system a much-needed boost. CoQ10, or Coenzyme Q10, helps regulate the oxidation of fats and sugar into energy and helps slow aging, increase energy and lower blood pressure. There are several types of anti-aging supplements to consider prior to choosing which ones work best for you. Narrow down some of aging symptoms you'd like to reverse and decide what supplements would work best for you. With the assistance of anti aging health supplements you can help reverse some of the affects of aging and turn your golden years into glory years.

There are many theories of aging and its effects on people. As we begin to age, there are many things that we have to deal with; everything from menopause, andropause, overall health and mental vitality to coping with retirement and the loss of long time friends and loved ones. There is a beacon of hope though for all. Due to all the advanced anti-aging supplements, vitamins, adult physical activity routines and mental strategies to help regain brainpower, there is hope. Aging does not have to be an issue, so don't let it become one. Anti aging solutions are all around us and come in many different forms. Find what works best for you and start to overcome and reverse the signs of aging. Feel young again and live happy and healthy for many years to come.

Are you like me, and just wish the balloon boy, Falcon Heene and his family will be stuffed into a manmade flying saucer and sent up, up and away? Earlier today there was a huge deal involving the boy’s father Richard Heene who said he’d be having a press conference where there’d be a ‘big announcement.’ That press conference turned out to be a ‘big bust’ when Heene emerged from his house, placed a box on his front porch, and invited the fools we called the media camping outside his house to leave their written questions. “I want your questions in the box,” he said. “I’ll get right back to you. Okay?” Huh? What a jerk. Speculation is now rampant the balloon boy story is full of hot air, although Dad adamantly denies his family’s ordeal was a publicity stunt calling the accusation, “extremely pathetic.” Keep in mind this response comes from a man who appeared in ABC's highly respected reality show “Wife Swap.”

The story broke Thursday, October 15 about a runaway helium balloon in Colorado. It took off like a supersonic jet after the boy’s parents told an emergency dispatcher they believed the inflatable balloon was carrying their six-year old son. Of course the media jumped at the titanic fish they hooked, and set about exploiting it in hopes of captivating the nation. Cable networks switched from President Obama’s town hall meeting in New Orleans to follow the balloon that was soaring uncontrollably in the air. Experts crawled out of their cubbyholes to offer confusing theories regarding the weight ratio to helium aspect. Would the endangered child survive? Could law-enforcement officials use their entire technological wherewithal to save him? Soon all the intense coverage and unfounded fear stirred up that the boy was possibly adrift and was somewhere in oblivion deflated when Falcon was found hiding in the attic of his home. And journalism once again was nowhere to be found.

Personally, I think the boy’s parents need to be forced to watch the movie, ‘Glitter’ uninterrupted a hundred times for their stupidity, then forced to pay whatever cost taxpayers incurred for this shameful 15 minutes of fame. Thankfully the boy was unharmed, but still one question begs to be answered. What’s up with people? They are addicted to a camera like a junkie is to drugs, willing to sell their souls even at the expense of embarrassing the crap out of their own kids? Hopefully after all is said and done someone hauls both parents off to Child Care services.

Though due to the global warming affect there has been many seasonal alterations, but the months of Nov Jan are considered to be the colder months of the world especially in the northern hemisphere.
Global warming is an issue that requires immediate action.

With global warming, the Netherlands would be in peril with the polar ice melting and the sea level coming up to an alarming level. First it was the hole in the ozone layer, then global warming, then El Nio, then Seinfeld called it quits -- my God, is there no end to the horror we mortals must endure.

But what with global warming, and rising ocean levels, we figure that we might be able to just go to Southern VT or NH year-round, or back to RI where we grew up. The fact is that global warming is in the future and most people are more worried about what is happening in the present.
The global warming alarmists want us to believe all of their research and paperwork and they tell us to the earth is heating up and we are all going to die in an apocalyptic fiery hell.

Warming world
Whatever world warming and peak oil do to world markets, one thing is certain: people will still have to eat. By stopping the consumption of meat and dairy products, we would raise the level of average health in the population a lot, we could cut down on the health budgets of each nation (which are very high all over the western world,- a real burden on us all), and at the same time save ourselves from the green house effect and the global warming problem.

And the price of burning fossil fuels is more than just financial: environmentalists the world over continually warn about the dangers of using non-renewable energy sources that pollute the environment when burned, global warming being just one of the major topics frequently discussed.

Effects of global warming
The idea is to stop, or at least slow down, the effects of global warming. Instead of just talking about the scientific effects of climate change on our biosphere, talk about the South Pacific fisherman who can no longer feed his family because the fish catch has declined due to global warming. An Inconvenient Truth - if you have to see one, see this one about global warming and its terrible far-reaching effects.
Take for example, the global warming and earth changes are direct effects of this lack of care.

These and a mass of other global warming questions are rising up across the world. Proponents of the bill have a whole different set of assumptions: --they arent at all convinced that humans have a decisive part in global warming.
Facing the facts of global warming, countries all over the world have just begun to acknowledge the negative effects of global warming not only to the world's politics and economy but also to humankind in general.

So, Pariksit Maharaja now understands that the ultimate solution to the pangs of material existence is the chanting of the Holy Names. So, as far as our becoming Krishna conscious is concerned; we need to be anxiety about the suffering of the souls in this material world and impelled by that anxiety we need to always be thinking of how to get people to chant and hear about Krishna. In other words that is our preaching goal. And in order to achieve this we have to do the needful (utility is the principle). Our goal is not to get people to dress like us, nor to have haircuts like us, nor to talk like us, nor have Gopi dots on their forhead, but to simply come to the point of chanting the names of Krishna purely. In Kali Yuga all other practices are meant to bring people to that point.

Prabhupada understood this perfectly in his strategy. Too often we confuse the means with the end or goal. And in helping people come to the point of chanting purely, to be successful we have to be tolerant, understanding, compassionate, empathic, loving, accepting, etc. And all these qualities that we need to manifest have to come from the heart, they can not be a show. That's a pretty tall order, isn't it? How to do it? Of course we have our sadhana. We also have our sadhu sanga (association with pure devotees the best of whom is Srila Prabhupada).

It really helps to see that other than spiritual desires and actions, all other actions, desires, emotions (that we have and others have) are tragic expressions of the original desire or need to love and please Krishna and His associates. Tragic in the sense that these desires or needs will never be fully satisfied and our search for fulfillment of them will be endless. I said that I would write about overcoming old age today, but I never got to it. I will try tomorrow as this topic is quite lengthy and involves the greater topic of how we deny reality in the name of external spirituality.

I mentioned that I would write about living longer in the present body. In order to understand this topic one has to understand the larger topic of how the material energy affects the bodies and minds of devotees whether or not they are aware of it or even in denial of it.

If we had the siddhis that yogis have such as laghima (become light enough to float on a sunbeam) or mahima (becoming very big or heavy-and I am not talking about getting fat), or prapti (being able to reach out and grab something from a distant locale) we could definitely ignore certain aspects of the material nature.

When your mom or your dad has diabetes, usually people will ask you if you are also diabetic. Sad to say, but it's true that diabetes runs in the family. There are even cases in which from the grandfather up to the grand children, everyone in the family has diabetes. Sometimes, it could be devastating to be a part of such medical history, but never lose hope. Diabetes can be easily managed only if you try to learn more about it and explore the many forms of treatment like natural cures. Treating it the natural way could range from exercise and good eating habits up to raw and health foods. But first, you have to know exactly what diabetes is and what are its types.

Essential info about diabetes

Diabetes is a disorder that affects the body's way of using food for energy. Normally, your sugar intake is digested and is converted into a simple sugar called glucose. The glucose, then, circulates in the blood where it waits to enter your body's cells to be used as fuel. However, glucose circulation is dependent on insulin, a hormone that is produced by the pancreas. Now, if the body does not produce insulin or produce too little, the balance between glucose and insulin is greatly affected; thus, that's when the disorder comes in.

There are two main types of diabetes: the type 1 diabetes and the type 2 diabetes. In the former, the body is not able to produce insulin, while in the latter, it can produce insulin but the cells don't respond to it. Nowadays, more and more people are suffering from type 2 diabetes, and so more tests are conducted to find more remedies.

Exercise, good eating habits, and raw foods

But to take control of diabetes, you don't have to be fully dependent on medications prescribed by your doctor. There are actually three effective ways to manage diabetes the natural way. One is by doing regular exercise. You should know that people who are overweight are more likely to develop diabetes than those with normal weight. And those who are already suffering from such disorder, they should be more conscious about their weight because obesity can result to more complications. So to avoid gaining excessive weight, your body should perform daily activities to burn off fat and energy. It can range from doing simple household chores, walking, jogging, swimming, and many more.

Aside from exercise, having good eating habits and eating raw foods can also help you a lot in managing diabetes. If you are fond of eating take-out foods and processed foods, it's high time you change your eating habit. Instead of being dependent on fast foods, better cook your own meals at home. But to really ensure good health, you can always choose eating raw foods like fruits, vegetables, cashews, cacao, and others. All these are rich in nutrients, but low in fats and cholesterol.

Being a part of a family with diabetes history does not mean that it's the end of a fun life for you. You always have the option whether you'll allow it to control or you will be the one to control it. Now, why don't you try the natural cures for diabetes? If you're still not convinced about their effectiveness, better read on David Wolfe's Sunfood Nutrition to know more.

Some thoughts on one of the biggest news stories this past week. It was no surprise two amendments that could create a government-run public option were turned down in the Finance Committee. Three Democrats and ten Republicans voted nay. The committee chairman, Sen. Max Baucus, a democrat from Montana voted against both of the amendments, starting he feared a bill including the public option couldn’t get the required 60 votes needed for passage by the full Senate. News flash, what’s to reform if there isn’t a public option, or some kind of single payer option?

Unless you’ve been in a coma the past year President Obama’s promised to reform healthcare. In doing so every poor, middleclass, and working class American could conceivably be brought into the system. Unfortunately he, and some of the more progressive democrats have lit a fire under some of the lunatics running the asylum. It seems every opponent out there including tea baggers, big Pharma, and conservative politicians are on the airwaves, YouTube and television with their endless babbling about socialized this, and socialized that. Around 50 million people are uninsured in the United States. Some opt out of health insurance voluntarily for various reasons. For most their employer won’t offer coverage, while others do, but at an outrageous cost. Lots of folks are unemployed and have no access to reasonable preventative care. It’s the people who want it, but just can’t afford it the GOP and the so-called ‘blue dog’ democrats are telling to drop dead, bribed by the medical and insurance industry to delay, manipulate, or vote down the reform bills.

While Obama has signaled he could pass on an ineffective bill in favor of another alternative do you know what would be a true sign of his leadership? If he vetoes any health care legislation that reaches the White House that does not include the public option, or single payer plan. While we definitely have the ability to change a system that’s currently on life support, it’s clear we don’t have the leaders to get the job done. Instead whoever screams the loudest overpowers all other logic. True, decent health care is not guaranteed by the Constitution, but neither is clean water. I doubt seriously there’s many that wouldn’t insist their drinking water not contain raw sewage. This country’s founders built a clever system of checks and balances to ensure that no government entity, special interest group, or corporation could use their size or power to dictate, or monopolize policy to serve their interest only. But that’s exactly what seems to continually happen. Forget about bipartisan cooperation. It will never happen. Let’s face the facts people; the politicians, Big Pharma, and the health care industry got theirs and that all that manners.

We all get stuck in patterns; many of us are reliving something over and over that has been with us since childhood. Some patterns can feel as if we are in some kind of nightmarish prison and unable to leave. We'll watch ourselves getting up at 3AM and eating leftover cake or cookies night after night (wait - that's not JUST me, right?), ending up in the same relationships over and over - hoping each time will be different, ending up in the same kinds of jobs or money situations over and over, and not having a clue on how to break the pattern and step into a new (and better) one.

I have repeatedly fallen back into old patterns throughout my life. This is why I feel perfectly qualified to bring this to your attention today, as I am a bonified expert in falling down and getting back up again. I was inspired to write about this now because I've just recently gotten up again, and I'm gaining a lot of awareness on this that I wanted to share with you.

Of course I can only speak from my experience here, but I've found there are 5 key elements to breaking old habits and patterns that are no longer serving you.

1. Commitment

First and foremost, you have to be committed. If you go into any change half-heartedly, the chances of success are slim. When you want to do something differently in your life, and you've beat your head up against the wall for the last time and DECIDE right then that you are ready to commit and end the struggle - this is the first and most essential ingredient. When you know that you'll do what it takes, you have the fuel you need to begin your journey.

2. Awareness

Once you're committed, you have to turn up that awareness a notch or two. Meaning, that when you are breaking a pattern, no matter how committed you are at some point you will feel pulled back into your old pattern. This is the most important time to "observe" what you're doing. Watch yourself - notice what's happening. If you're trying to say, exercise daily - you'll get super committed and then a few days in your brain will try to give you all kinds of reasons why you can't exercise today. Instead of buying into that - notice what sets you off. Notice when it feels difficult - but don't let it take you out of the game.


3. Contemplation

This is what you do with that awareness. Remember, you must contemplate what you want to create, not what you want to avoid. When you are contemplating, you can ask yourself questions like "how is this new habit serving me?" "How can I make this easy?" And "How do I feel when I've done this, and what impact is this having on my life?" It's really hard to lose your momentum completely when you're asking yourself questions like this.

4. Support

Let's face it - it can be much easier making changes with a strong support system. A support system consists of two main categories. A personal support system is first. This is your friends, the loved ones in your life. Keep in mind that just because someone is a friend or family member doesn't mean they're a part of your support system.

These are the people that support who you really are and what you're up to. Many of us feel lucky when we find one person who does this. If you take having a support system seriously, you may need to get out and make some new friends. When you are thinking about your support system, ask yourself these questions:

1. Can I fully share my visions and dreams with this person and have them be supportive, and tell me I can do it?

2. When I'm having a bad day can I trust this person to hold space for that and offer what I ask for? (asking is important - never assume someone knows what you need. If you do ask, can this person be there in this way?)

3. Is this person a person who is primarily positive or primarily negative?

In the spirit of "you attract that which you are", are these things true for you if someone were to ask them of you? This is your first step, to be a great support system for others.

When you're doing a lot of change, you're going to have your ups and downs. When you have someone that even says "hey, I believe in you" - that can help lift you up when you really need it.

The other kind of support is education, classes, coaches, workshops, and programs. It's things like this that keep your expanding, growing, and having some kind of professional guidance to help you stretch yourself. I'm always reading books, taking courses, hiring people to work with me and because of that I'm not only always receiving new information, but brilliant techniques to help me apply it into my life. In fact, most successful people are nearly always working with a coach of some kind.

Most of the time we're working with the same stuff from yesterday, and it's those tools, beliefs, and methods that are producing your current result. Remember the definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

5. Structure

Make a plan, write it down and be SPECIFIC. This will help you so much, you don't have to waste time figuring out what to do and trying to remember. When we're trying to form new habits and let go of old ones, being very clear on what to do is imperative. The best way to be very clear is to write down what you want to do, and put it in a place you can see it!

You can do this. You have all the power inside of you at any moment. Today is a new day, you have a new chance. You know more today, you're wiser and have more experience. Most of all, you deserve nothing but the best!
