Short Sleeves Insights- Did You Hear The One...

A shoe salesman who dragged out half his stock to a women customer asked her;"Mind if I rest for a few minutes, lady? Your feet are killing me." The ability to laugh, especially at ourselves, is part of the prayer arsenal we come physically equipped with at birth.

As Ramtha said; The greatest prayer you could ever pray would be to laugh everyday. For when you do, it elevates the vibratory frequency within your being such that you could heal your entire body."

True, nothing feels better than laughter, well, almost nothing, but that's another article. Being energy, connected to a universe of energy, tells me that my vibrations have a lot to do with my overall well being. Happiness, joy and laughter bring a stream of energy into my systems and send positive messages to my cells. They in turn function with the energy supplied to them. If I feel good mentally, my body reaps the reward of that sensation. I send that energy out to all around me and they also benefit from what I project. We all know this, that's why we like to be close to people who have a positive energy field around them. We may not see it, but we can sure feel it.

If there was any advise that I remember, it was from my mother who said; "Find some laughter in everything Hon, it will be the vehicle that supports you in any situation. It's not always easy to laugh, but it's there waiting for you to join in." There have been many situations that I found it hard to laugh about, but at some point I was able to laugh at myself for not being able to see the bright side. Prayer is feeling, and laughter is a part of prayer, for I am able to feel the positive effects within me and around me. The laughter switch within my body, is always on auto-pilot, and only accepts positive vibes. All other sensations need not apply, unless I flip my switch.

As the Course In Miracles says: "The world will end in joy, because it is a place of sorrow... The world will end in peace, because it is a place for war... The world will end in laughter, because it is a place for tears. Where there is laughter who can longer weep?"
Did you hear the one about being busy? "I putter, I worry, I push and shove, hunting little molehills to make mountains of." Funny and true...

Turning The Bad Into The Good The Easy Way

While we all prefer life to be rosy and go the way we want it, invariably it never does and situations crop up which are anything but perfect. We can choose to do two things about it either make the most out of a bad situation and accept it or deal with it the best way we can and then shrug it off and let it go. On the other hand we can choose to worry about it or sulk, grumble and moan and forever go around wondering why this happened and protesting what if.

The fact is that the situation has occurred and no amount of worrying or moaning and groaning about it will change this fact. Looking at it in this light, what point is there in letting it bother you?

Isn't it more sensible to accept the situation and try at least to change the bad into good? Most situations can be turned into something good or we can at least see some good in it.

While you could say it is a bad situation, you could also turn this around and say it is a challenge you weren't expecting. Turning bad into good is all in the mind and how we perceive things. Although it won't change the situation, how you see the situation will depend on how well you are able to handle it and so how well you are able to handle life in general.

Quite simply, anyone can make the best of any situation, simply by changing the way you see it, you can change what would have seemed like a disaster into a challenge that you are able to get through and with it gain untold confidence.

Think of it this way, there are no bad situations or good ones for that matter, the situation is how we see it, our perception of it. By keeping things in perspective and considering how you can overcome the situation or what you can get out of it goes a long way to calling it good or bad.

Everything that happens in your life is based on a series of events and while sometimes we cannot control these events we can control how we react to them. How you perceive the situation is all about choice, the choice you make. Rather than think of a bad situation as failure, instead think of it as nothing more than a setback or obstacle that has been put there to challenge you.

Think of setback as being a good thing, we learn things from setback and this is all in our favor. If we don't learn we don't grow and it is only if we don't learn from setbacks and give up that we lose. So when things don't quite go your way, shrug it off and let it go and remember that while you cannot change the situation, you can change the outcome to your advantage by thinking positively and making the most of any situation.

Managing Emotions: Begin with Self-Awareness and Self-Management

"This being human is a guest-house

Every morning a new arrival."

-- From: Say I Am You, Poems of Rumi
Translated by John Moyne and Coleman Barks

I turned around in my kitchen and walked into the open dishwasher, cracking my shin on the edge of the door. Ouch!#@%*! Pain went through my body, and my anger barometer zoomed from zero to one hundred in about two seconds. It was all I could do to keep from kicking the door. Good thing – the pent up energy in my body would have torn the door off its hinges. But I caught myself and made some better choices. I quickly put ice and arnica on my shin, drank a glass of water, and took a few deep breaths. The barometer began to drop. I still hurt, but I hadn't done any damage.

Practicing aikido on the mat, I learn to first manage myself so that I can better manage the attacker. I center and extend ki (energy, life force) in order to blend with the attacker's power and direct it toward a positive outcome. Off the mat, I can do the same. In the face-off with my dishwasher, a huge emotional attack threatened. How could I blend with that?

Emotional Intelligence (EI) – a phrase made famous by Daniel Goleman, author of many books on the subject – begins with self-awareness and self-management. Goleman writes that in high emotional states, we often get "hijacked" by the power of our feelings, but we can learn to catch ourselves and direct our emotions before they direct us. Research shows that EI can be learned and that those with high EI receive higher salaries and manage teams that regularly exceed their objectives.

When you are intentional with your emotional energy, you increase your EI, improve interpersonal interactions, and lead a happier life. Here are some thoughts that might help:

Notice, acknowledge, and honor your emotions. "Wow! I'm pretty upset. Where is this upset coming from, and what do I want to do about it?"

Breathe and Center yourself. Put a moment of awareness between the event and your action. Give yourself time to notice your emotional energy and decide what to do with it.

Act Purposefully. Putting ice and arnica on my wound aligned with my purpose. Kicking the dishwasher did not.

Emotions happen. And we can make choices about how we manage them. By gaining awareness in the heat of the moment, you will become more practiced at managing all of your emotional energy with intention and purpose.

To Tax or Not to Tax - This is the Question

To tax or not to tax - this inquiry could have got never been asked twenty old age ago.

Historically, income tax is a novel invention. Still, it became so widespread and so socially accepted that no 1 dared challenge it seriously. In the madman fringes there were those who refused to pay taxes and served prison house sentences as a result. Some of them tried to translate their chopine into political powerfulness and established parties, which failed dismally in the polls. But some of what they said made sense.

Originally, taxes were levied to pay for authorities expenses. But they underwent a malignant transformation. They began to be used to express societal preferences. Tax grosses were diverted to pay for urban renewal, to encourage foreign investings through tax interruptions and tax incentives, to heighten societal equality by evenly redistributing income and so on. As Big Government became more than derided - so were taxes perceived to be its instrument and the tide turned. Suddenly, the manner was to downsize government, minimise its riotous engagement in the marketplace and reduce the sum tax load as portion of the GNP.

Taxes are inherently unjust. They are enforced, using state coercion. They are an infringement of the human age old right to property. Money is transferred from one grouping of citizens (law abiding taxpayers) - to other groups. The receivers are less savoury: they either make not pay taxes legally (low income populations, children, the elderly) - or avoid paying taxes illegally. But there is no manner of preventing a tax evader from enjoying tax money paid by others.

Research demonstrated that most tax money benefited the center social classes and the rich, in short: those who need it least. Moreover, these strata of society were most likely to utilize tax planning to minimise their tax payments. They could afford to pay people to assist them to pay less taxes because their income was augmented by transfers of tax money paid by the less affluent and by the less fortunate. The poor subsidised the tax planning of the rich, so that they could pay less taxes. No wonderment that tax planning is regarded as the rich man's shot at tax evasion. The sarcasm is that taxes were intended to decrease societal mutual opposition and clash - but they achieved exactly the opposite.

In economical systems where taxes gobble up to 60% of the gross domestic product (France, Germany, to call a few) - taxes became THE major economic disincentive. Why work for the taxman? Why finance the munificent lifestyle of numerous politicians and distended bureaucratisms through tax money? Why be a chump when the rich and mighty drama it safe?

The consequences were socially and morally devastating: an avalanche of illegal activities, all intended to avoid paying taxes. Monstrous achromatic economic systems were formed by entrepreneuring souls. These economical activities went unreported and totally deformed the procedures of macroeconomic determination making, supposedly based on complete economical data. This evident deficiency of macroeconomic control makes a second layer of misgiving between the citizen and his authorities (on top of the 1 related to the aggregation of taxes).

Recent surveys clearly bespeak that a contrary human relationship bes between the growing of the economic system and the extent of public spending. Moreover, decennaries of progressive taxation did not change by reversal the tendency of a growth spread between the rich and the poor. Income statistical distribution have got remained unjust (ever more than so all the time) - despite mammoth one-sided transfers of money from the state to the poorer socio - economical strata of society.

Taxes are largely considered to be responsible for the following:

They contorted business thinking;

Encouraged the misallocation of economical resources;

Diverted money to strange tax motivated investments;

Absorbed unacceptably large balls of the GDP;

Deterred foreign investment;

Morally corrupted the population, encouraging it to engage in monolithic illegal activities;

Adversely influenced macroeconomic parametric quantities such as as unemployment, the money supply and interest rates;

Deprived the business sector of capital needed for its development by disbursement it on non productive political ends;

Caused the smuggling of capital outside the country;

The formation of strong parallel, achromatic economical systems and the disproof of economical records thus affecting the proper determination making processes;

Facilitated the constitution of big, inefficient bureaucratisms for the aggregation of taxes and information related to income and economic activity;

Forced every member of society to - directly or indirectly - pay for professional services related to his tax obligations, or, at least to devour his ain resources (time, money and energy) in communicating with government dealing with tax collection.

Thousands of laws, tax loopholes, interruptions and inducements and seemingly arbitrary determination making, not unfastened to judicial examination eroded the trust that a member of the community should have in its institutions. This deficiency of transparency and even-handedness led to the frequent volcanic eruption of dirts which unseated authorities more often than not.

All these very dear terms might have got been acceptable if taxes were to accomplish their primary declared goals. That they failed to make so is what sparked the up-to-the-minute rebellious thinking.

At first, the authorities of the human race tried a few simple recipes:

They tried to widen the tax alkali by better collection, processing, merger and crossing of information. This way, more than tax remunerators were supposed to be caught in "the net". This failing dismally. People establish ways around this relatively unsophisticated attack and frequent and consecutive tax political campaigns were to no avail.

So, authorities tried the adjacent fast one in their bag: they shifted from progressive taxes to regressive ones. This was really a displacement from taxes on income to taxes on consumption. This proven to be a much more than efficient measurement - albeit with sedate societal consequences. The same pattern was repeated: the powerful few were provided with legal loopholes. value-added tax regulations around the human race allow businesses to offset value-added tax that they paid from value-added tax that they were supposed to pay to the authorities. Many of them ended up receiving value-added tax finances paid the poorer population, to which these tax interruptions were, obviously, not available.

Moreover, value-added tax and other direct taxes on ingestion were almost immediately reflected in higher rising prices figures. As economical theory goes, rising prices is a tax. It indirectly impacts the buying powerfulness of those not knowledgeable enough, devoid of political clout, or not rich adequate to protect themselves. The wages of the lower strata of society are eroded by rising prices and this have the exact same consequence as a tax would. This is why rising prices is called the poor man's tax.

When the societal effects of levying regressive taxes became fully evident, authorities went back to the drawing board. Regressive taxes were politically and socially costly. Progressive taxes resembled Swiss cheese: too many loopholes, not adequate substances. The natural disposition was to seek and stopper the holes: disallow allowances, interruption tax breaks, get rid of particular preferences, eliminate loopholes, write-offs, reliefs and a host of other, particular deductions. This entailed struggles with particular interest groupings whose interests were duly reflected in the tax loopholes.

Governments, being political creatures, did a one-half hearted job. They abolished on the 1 manus - and gave with the other. They wriggled their manner around controversial topics and the consequence was that every loophole film editing measurement brought in its aftermath a growth host of others. The state of affairs looked hopeless.

Thus, authorities were reduced to using the final, nuclear-like, weapon in their arsenal: the simplification of the tax system.

The thought is aesthetically appealing: all tax grants and loopholes will be eliminated, on the 1 hand. On the other, the number of tax rates and the magnitude of each rate will be pared down. Edge tax rates will travel down considerably and so will the number of tax rates. So, people will experience less like cheating and they will pass less resources on the readying of their tax returns. The government, on its part, will no longer utilize the tax system to express its (political) preferences. It will propagate a simple, transparent, equitable, just and non arbitrary system which will generate more than income by virtuousness of these traits.

Governments from Germany to the USA are working along the same lines. They are trying to stem what is in consequence a tax rebellion, a major lawsuit of civil disobedience. If they fail, the very cloth of societies will be affected. If they succeed, we may all come into a better world. Knowing the leanings of human beings, the safe stake is that people will still detest to see their money wasted in unaccounted for ways on bizarre, porc barrel, projects. As long as this is the case, the ageless chase of the citizen by his authorities will continue.

A History of Money and Banking Secrets That Banks Don't Want Published

A History of Money and Trade

To begin with a history of money and debt, we must travel back many old age ago when people used to merchandise their merchandise for the things they wanted and needed.

In topographic point of money or Federal Soldier Modesty Notes, you could merchandise a well made handgun for a cow, which you could eat or trade a residual of for other points like clothing.

It didn't take long for people to recognize there needed to be a more than efficient agency of trade. If you were a farmer, it was too hard to carry handbaskets of fresh maize around to merchandise for a new horse. And, the individual merchandising the horse might not desire any maize at all.

A History of Money and Gold

So, people used gold for cash money, which always had a stable value, to merchandise for the points they wanted and needed. This manner the horse dealer could always merchandise the gold received from the husbandman for the clothes he really wanted instead of having to take the corn.

In a history of money and gold, this lone posed one problem. Gold was very heavy to carry and hard to conceal. In the beginning of our banking history what people would make is leave of absence their gold with a goldsmith.

The goldsmith would then give them a note, or paper money, that declared how much gold they had on sedimentation with the goldsmith (bank).

The husbandman could then take this paper money note, state deserving $50 to the horse dealer and purchase a horse with it. The horse dealer could then pass this $50 paper short letter or travel back to the goldsmith to pick up the $50 of gold that he had just acquired by merchandising the horse to the farmer.

Well, why would the horse dealer desire to merchandise in the cash money short letter for the heavy gold, when he just wanted to merchandise it for clothes and nutrient anyway. So, the short letter would travel on to merchandise custody and very few people would ever go deliver it for the gold it was backed by.

It didn't take long for the goldsmith to understand this reality. So, here he is storing all of this gold for other people. Let's give it a value to do this adjacent rule clear.

Let's say the gold he is storing is valued at $1,000 and there are $1,000 in existent cash money short letters backed by this existent gold being circulated.

A History of Money and Loans

When many people wanted a loan for say a sum of $1,000, he decided no 1 would detect and it would be existent easy to impart them person else's gold, well actually a amusing money short letter which was a promise to pay gold upon salvation of the note. And, he'd only charge 10% interest. In a history of money and loans, this caused another problem. If everyone came in to deliver their notes, there would not be adequate gold to pay back everyone because there was only $1,000 in existent cash money short letters backed by real number gold.

That didn't matter to him, why not impart out to anyone who looks like they can repay? And, that twelvemonth he lent out a sum of $10,000 worth of newly created or you could state counterfeit, amusing money notes. Oh well, who cares states the goldsmith, no 1 is coming in to get their gold anyway.

So, now there is $1,000 in existent cash money short letters backed by real number gold, and $10,000 in amusing money loans, thus $11,000 in entire short letters circulating. The goldsmith is charging his 10% Oregon $1,000 per twelvemonth of interest and don't forget every penny of the original counterfeited principal is his to keep. For simplicity, allows state he now halts lending!

A History of Money and Inflation

Lets expression at what this causes. There is now 10 modern times as much currency/notes floating around then there is existent gold to endorse it. This causes the value of the original $1,000 to free 90% of its value. Therefore to purchase a horse now, it would cost $500. Thus, a history of money and INFLATION.

Everyone now have manner more money then they did the twelvemonth before, they experience rich. There are still the same amounts of merchandises and services being sold, just a batch more dollars to offer for them, thus most terms travel manner up. This is called a boom.

Now the adjacent thing this causes is for the $1,000 of interest and any part paid to the principal of these loans to travel directly into the goldsmith's pocket. Let's say over the course of study of the first year, the borrowers paid back $1,000 worth of principal and $1,000 in interest.

This agency there is still $1,000 of existent cash money short letters backed by real number gold. $9,000 in amusing money loans outstanding, $9,000 in entire short letters circulating and the goldsmith have pocketed $2,000.

So, the goldsmith is now up $2,000 out of thin air, and there is now $9,000 in short letters circulating which needs to pay back $9,000 owing. And the cost of everything have gone up 10 fold. Now allows move forward another year.

Let's say over the course of study of the second year, the borrowers paid back $1,100 worth of principal and $900 in interest. There is still only $1,000 in short letters backed by real number gold. $7,900 in loans outstanding, $7,000 in entire short letters circulating and the goldsmith have pocketed another $2,000, totaling $4,000 thus far.

Let's say over the course of study of the 3rd year, the borrowers paid back $1,200 worth of principal and $800 in interest. There is still only $1,000 in short letters backed by real number gold. $6,700 in loans outstanding, $5,000 in entire short letters circulating and the goldsmith have pocketed another $2,000, totaling $6,000 thus far.

A History of Money and Recession

People fasten up their disbursement for no evident reason, but it is soley because there are less short letters in circulation. So, terms begin to fall. Businesses can't last with the lower incomes, so they put people off, thus giving even fewer people money to spend. And, now we have got the beginning of a history of money and RECESSION. Year four, the borrowers paid back $1,300 worth of principal and $700 in interest. There is still only $1,000 in short letters backed by real number gold. $5,400 in loans outstanding, $3,000 in entire short letters circulating and the goldsmith have pocketed another $2,000, totaling $8,000 thus far.

Year five, the borrowers paid back $1,400 worth of principal and $600 in interest. There is still only $1,000 in gold. $4,000 in loans outstanding, $1,000 in entire short letters circulating and the goldsmith have pocketed another $2,000, totaling $10,000 thus far, but $4,000 is still owed.

With lone $1,000 in entire short letters circulating, people obviously cannot go on to pay, so there is one thing left and that is the arrogation of their assets, and the remaining $1,000 in entire short letters circulating. Can you state BANKRUPTCY. (which is now almost impossible)

A History of Money and the FED

Oh, I cognize states the goldsmith, I'll just have got to maintain lending this imitation money backed by nil so they can work hard for me for free, and I will have every plus on this planet for free. So the goldsmith starts to impart out money again and imparts out $10,000 the first twelvemonth which again causes the BOOM. And, on and on it goes.

The lone difference today is that there is no bounds to the lending, so there's continual money being created which military units us to struggle each other to get our custody on it, to pay back our ain share of debt, while the terms of everything skyrockets endlessly.

And, the goldsmith's are now called the Federal Soldier Soldier Modesty System and the amusing money imitation short letters are called Federal Modesty Notes. In the 1930's there was roughly $30 Billion in gold at Garrison Knox, and now we owe $7,937,046,735,823.

So, then I inquire you fellow American, is this a history of money and debt that you thought was going on when you borrowed from Capital One or Providian? Find out how to get out of credit card debt by visiting us at http://www.avoid-new-bankruptcy-laws.com/

Insurance - It's Early History

Insurance. What would we make without it? Though it looks impossible, there was a clip when insurance on anything didn't even exist. Unfortunately, the early beginnings of insurance are unclear.

But as to an existent minute in clip when the first point was insured, no 1 really knows.

There are theories that insurance travels back to the early years of the Babylonian bargainers at around the 2nd millennium BCE. They created a system which was recorded in the celebrated Code of Hammurapi around 1750 BC. This system was practiced by early Mediterranean Sea seafaring merchants.

As was stated above, there were some early Hagiographa that point to the first insurance companies and types of insurance. Below are a number of these writings.

From 1680 the following memorandum was found. "Mr. Newbold, London's Improvement and the Builders' Security Asserted, by the evident advantages that volition attend their easie charge, in raising such as a joint-stock as may guarantee a Re-Building of those Houses which shall hereafter be Destroyed by the Casualties of Fire." This memorandum looks to point to the beginnings of fire insurance. There were many other memoes establish during that same clip time period from 1680 to 1700 all related to to open fire insurance companies.

In 1697 Hagiographa were establish to demo the beginnings of an insurance company created to see the social welfare of widow women and orphans. This looks to be the early beginnings of life insurance. During the time period of 1697 to 1762 many other memoes were establish relating to the constitution of life insurance. Some of the early known companies are The Society For Equitable Insurances, The Ageless Assurance Office and The Hampshire Society. It wasn't however until about 1850 that the first grounds of life anticipation statistician tabular arrays were found.

The first grounds of insurance for businessmen was memoes establish going back to the twelvemonth 1601. Many different sorts of businesses were mentioned in these memoes such as as small businessmen, excavation companies and ship edifice companies. Evidence also demoes that the British took out insurance on their enemies’ ships for the intent of collecting on them after they were destroyed by the British Navy.

In the adjacent article we'll travel over the assorted types of insurance that one can purchase today.

Establishing Credit - What You Need To Know Part 2

In my previous article “Establishing Credit – What You Need To Know Part 1“ I discussed the need for a good credit history and what lenders were looking for prior to loaning an individual money or additional funds based on their credit history. This article will go into the necessary steps someone needs to take in order to initially establish their credit history.

The first and easiest step is to show any potential lenders that you actually know how to handle money. This can be easily achieved by opening either a savings or checking account (opening both would be better) in your name. As you successfully use these accounts you will prove to a lender that you can handle money and are ready for the increased responsibility that comes with having additional credit.

Another means of establishing credit actually involves borrowing funds and then paying them back over time without any late payments. Although this method to establishing a good credit history is quicker and very effective when compared to the long drawn out procedure of making withdraws and transfers to your savings/checking account it comes with the drawback of the cost associated with obtaining the loan in the first place. If you’re having trouble obtaining a loan but still wish to use this method to establish your credit history then seek out a friend or relative with known good credit and have them cosign on a loan for you. Remember this is asking a lot from that individual so please don’t abuse the trust they put into your ability to repay the loan on time and without problems.

Other popular methods of establishing credit include applying for credit cards or department store cards. Again, although this method is very effective for establishing credit (provided you make your payments on time) it could be costly if you start to carry a balance on these cards. Always check to see that there is no annual fee and make sure you are aware of the financial charges imposed against you if you should decide to carry a balance on any card you have. Obviously the best plan is to always pay your balance off in full each and every month. This allows you to build your credit history and avoid being buried under a mountain of high interest debt.

A word of caution – identity theft and credit theft is a very real and dangerous problem in today’s society so you want to make sure you do everything you can to protect your newly established credit history. Always make sure to secure your credit cards and never let anyone obtain your personal identification number (PIN). If you have numerous credit cards avoid carrying them all at once. Instead just carry the card you normally use and file the rest away in a safe place. Always make sure to keep information such as contact numbers and account numbers of the cards you have been issued. This will help you if you ever lose or have a card stolen.

If you find that you have lost a card or had it stolen simply contact the company that issued the card and report your situation. If the card hasn’t been used prior to your reporting it lost or stolen then you’re relieved of any future financial liabilities against the card. If it has been used prior to your reporting then you may be held accountable for up to $50. Finally, always be cautious about who you give your account number to and remember to keep all receipts and records that are associated with that particular card.
