I Choose To Be Happy

5:32 PM

Disappointments are inevitable.
Misery is optional.

-Joel Osteen

I choose to be happy.

As Alice Morse Earle said, "Every day may not be good... but there's something good in every day."

I choose to be happy. That is coming from someone who has been chummy with Loneliness for quite a long time. This is a choice made by a girl who grew up thinking she'll never be enough.

I choose to be happy even during the times when my heart was broken to a million pieces again and again.

I chose to be happy even when I failed again and again in investments. I know that failure has been a part of every successful person's journey.

I choose to be happy even when some of my days are gloomy, some of my nights are long and I feel nothing but emptiness.

It's so easy to fall into misery. Fate could be a real bitch sometimes.

You try to be faithful and true, but there will always be someone---in the family, your circle of friends or your significant other---who will betray your trust and destroy you.

Yes, it's painful. Yes, it's okay to be angry for a time. That's part of healing.

What you can feel, you can heal.

Grieve.
Be furious.
Cry.

But after venting out the toxic feeling, I learned to let go. Maybe not as easily or as quickly like most. We heal at our own pace. The important thing is that I choose happiness over bitterness.

I've realized that it's not right to punish myself for someone's mistakes.

It's not fair for me to suffer the consequences of their choices.

It's not wise to drag myself down to their misery where they are comfortable to settle in in the first place.

Sometimes you give your all to get what you want, but you see it go to someone you think is undeserving.

When this happens to me, I choose to be happy still. I'd think that maybe the door for that opportunity closed on me because there's another one waiting which is better.

I choose to be happy because the world is full of wondrous things, endless opportunities and boundless possibilities, and I can't miss them just because I'm too busy looking down, too defeated to look up and see the beauty around me.

I choose to be happy because it's the most selfless, most generous, most liberating and kindest gift I could give myself.

I choose to be happy because it's a wise decision to make

I choose to be happy because I know I deserve no less.

Happiness is a choice.

I am happy because I choose to be.

How about you? What are you choosing today?

You Deserve Whatever Makes You Happy

Beauty Care

Enduring lots of stress throughout the week can reveal itself on your face and leave you looking pale and old. At the end of the day, you are tired.

However, it's important to keep up with a daily beauty regimen to maintain healthy skin. Using a gentle cleanser to keep your pores unclogged and a light moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated with allow you to wake up each day with soft supple skin that looks and feels terrific.

Make Changes

Most people have some part of their body that they would like to change. If, for example, you inherited the large family nose that dominates your face, and without it, you would feel much more attractive, then make the change.

For instance, if you live in the Los Angeles area, dollars to doughnuts, a quick search will turn up a board-certified doctor in Beverly Hills who specializes in these types of beauty procedure.

Feel Energized

As a mother, you often feel tired midday from all the responsibilities that occupy your mind. The good news is that you can restore your energy rather quickly and without the need of consuming extra calories.

Exercise of any sort, especially when it gets your blood pumping and accelerates the heart, releases endorphins that automatically give you a happy, almost euphoric feeling throughout your body.

Suddenly the worries of the day exit and you have renewed energy. When this happens at work, leave the office for a few minutes and take a brisk walk. It will benefit you greatly.

Take up a New Hobby

Let's face it, the kids have their things to do; your spouse has his things of interest, so what about you? It's time to find something that interests you.

Maybe you want to grow a flower garden, or take up painting or ceramics. Or, even possibly you want to get back into reading. The point is to do something that makes you happy.

Date Night Out

Moms often do everything for their children first and, without notice, leave their spouse to fend for themselves. This is not intentional, of course.

If your love life is slowly losing its luster, it's time to remember that you were part of a couple first, long before you had children. A way to show that your loved one matters is to have a date night out away from the home once a month.

It will give each of you a chance to reconnect and have some adult fun.

Meditation

De-stressing and keeping your body calm is important to sustaining good health. A great way to prevent a breakdown is to take a few minutes each day to meditate. Meditation allows you to connect the body and mind together as one, shutting out the world and all its confusion.

A Restful Night's Sleep

With thoughts racing through your mind as you lay your head on the pillow, you may experience nights where sleep is not achievable. Thankfully, there are ways to bring your mind to a state of calm naturally. Taking a hot bath with lavender or chamomile oils and playing soft music in the background will put you at ease and allow you to quickly fall asleep.

You are a mother and a wife and you take your job seriously. However, you are also a human being with needs. If you learn to take care of you, then you will be able to better tend to your family without resentment.

A Brief History Of Asics

A Brief History of Asics

How Asics Began

Now recognized as a maker of some of the best sneakers for men, Asics began shortly after the end of World War II. In 1949, Kihachiro Onitsuka, a former Japanese military officer, started a small shoe company out of his Kobe, Japan living room.
Onitsuka's intention was to manufacture a product that would help invigorate his war-torn country's young people and bring them together.
He believed that physical exercise and sports were excellent ways to promote the health and happiness of not only each individual, but for what at that time was a disconnected society in Japan.
With his desire to contribute to his country's morale and rebuilding efforts, Onitsuka devised a way to revolutionize basketball footwear. His intent was to create a shoe that would help his countrymen win international sports competitions.
Back in the 1940s, basketball sneakers weren’t designed for swift maneuvering and they lacked sufficient grip capabilities. Through a lengthy trial-and-error process Onitsuka designed his basketball shoes and then watched players wearing them in a high school gym class to see how they worked on the court.
He noticed that the players were slipping, and with feedback from the coach, he attempted to redesign his shoe, but at first, without much luck in improving the grip capability. Then, inspiration struck while at a restaurant eating an octopus salad; one of the tentacles got stuck to Onitsuka's salad bowl.
At that moment, he knew the way to improve his basketball shoe was to design its sole with suction cups much like those on an octopus tentacle.

In 1951, the Onitsuka Tiger basketball shoe was launched with grips that allowed players to make swift movements and sudden stops on the court.
The high school basketball team that Onitsuka used as a proving ground won their championship game. The Japanese Olympic basketball team also wore them in their competitions, and Onitsuka's company began its journey to international success.

Growth and Popularity in America

During the 1950s and 1960s, Onitsuka's company grew in its research and development efforts. It designed shoes for running, volleyball and tennis and branched out into activewear for sports players of all types.
In 1977, the company recreated itself as Asics and expanded its manufacturing to the United States. The brand grew in popularity internationally and became an official pop-culture icon when Bruce Lee first wore them in his movie “Game of Death.”

Asics Today

With new models being introduced, and the innovative, high-quality and grip factors that catapulted Onitsuka’s shoes to success, the company has both maintained and expanded upon its products’ core features. If it’s for sports, hiking or for stylish casual wear, some of the best footgear made for men can be found in the Asics product line.

8 Ways Mutual Understanding Builds A Successful Marriage

4:52 PM

Understanding your partner and practicing healthy communication in relationships are essential qualities for building a successful marriage. Here are the best tips for getting to know your spouse better and building a solid foundation for marriage.

8 Ways Mutual Understanding
Builds a Successful Marriage

1. Be Willing to Understand

Connecting with a partner is a unique and special experience. Couples benefit when they spend quality time together and put in the effort to understand one another on a deeper level. So, the thought that you may not want to understand your partner better may sound strange. But, the truth is, many people are set in their ways.

Fight against a potentially stubborn spirit and seek to understand your partner on a deeper level. This will benefit nearly every aspect of your relationship from communication to your sex life.

2. Become Skilled at Conflict Resolution

Part of healthy communication in relationships involves knowing how to resolve a conflict. Do not interrupt each other. Give your partner time to speak and learn to listen to what they are saying. Keeping in mind that true conflict resolution is about solving a problem, not seeing who can shout the loudest.

Be civil. Do not resort to name-calling or freezing the other person out for days just because you don't agree with them.

Have empathy. Where is your partner coming from? Why do they feel this way? Understanding your partner is key to a healthy marriage.

Be humble. We have the tendency to think we are always right when it comes to marital arguments. This is (unfortunately!) not true. Having humility will help resolve conflicts quickly and will encourage partners to be modest in mind, not arrogant or prideful.

Seek to solve. As stated above, couples should go into disagreements with a view to finding a solution to their issues, not for the sake of arguing or berating one another.

3. Be Honest with Each Other

It is not always easy to be honest with your spouse. This is especially true when issues arise in the relationship or the bedroom.

In fact, couples are so squeamish when it comes to talking about sex that studies reveal they would rather talk about literally anything else - finances, children, weight.

But, in order to have a successful marriage, couples must learn healthy communication in relationships. And healthy communication is all about understanding your partner and learning to talk honestly about your problems.

4. Spend Quality Time Together

One of the best ways to strengthen communication in relationships is to spend more time together.

Studies show that having a regular date night can actually help improve communication.

Set aside one evening each week where you focus on dating your spouse. Go out to a fancy dinner, explore a local museum, or go for a romantic walk through a scenic trail.

Making a habit of a romantic date night will help improve marital friendship, boost communication, and works wonders for reigniting your libidos.

5. Ask for Information

Ask open-ended questions. If you’re not asking about your spouse, how will you ever get to know them on a deeper level?

Talk about children, money, and sex. Or discuss your futures, goals, and dreams.

Couples should be able to discuss any topic under the sun with your spouse without the fear of being judged.

If you’re not putting in the effort to get to know your partner, you’ll never be able to understand where they are coming from.

6. Discuss Your Life Goals

Where do you see your future heading? It may surprise you to know that couples aren’t always on the same page about this – even married couples.

Talk about your financial future. What are your goals? Do you want to buy a house, start a business, or save for travel?

Discuss family-planning. Do you and your spouse want to have children? If so, when?

Share personal goals. Understanding your partner better is all about learning what makes them tick. Are they working toward personal goals of getting healthier or breaking a certain habit?

Talking about your shared goals in life can help improve communication in relationships.

7. Get to Know Your Love Languages

Dr. Gary Chapman believes that there are five love languages that every couple should know about.

Words of affirmation. Verbalizing your love for one another.
Acts of service. For people who believe actions speak louder than words.
Receiving gifts. Sweet gestures that make partner feel loved and thought of.
Quality time. Giving the most precious and irreplaceable thing in the world, your time.
Physical touch. Studies show that sexual satisfaction and physical touch predicated heighten emotional intimacy in couples. There are also many other benefits of touch and physical intimacy in marriage, such as stress reduction and relationship satisfaction.

Learning your partner’s love language will help you better understand how to communicate your love to them.

8. Continue Getting to Know Your Spouse

Getting married does not mean that is the end of getting to know your partner. You may think that you had a good idea of who your spouse was when you got engaged. The reality is that no matter how long you have been together, you should never stop trying to get to know your spouse.

Have regular "relationship check-ups" to ensure happiness is being met.

Try new things together. Studies show couples who have shared activities and hobbies are happier in their relationship.

Exercise together. Working out reduces stress and promotes teamwork.

Spend time with each other's friends. Research reveals that couples who do are more likely to have a successful marriage.

Understanding your partner and learning how to communicate properly are the biggest tips for a successful marriage. Practice honesty, discuss your life goals, and spend quality time together regularly. Once you learn how to talk to your spouse, the rest of your lives should be smooth sailing.

5 Unusual Holiday Destinations
Your Inner Explorer Will Love

1. Falkland Islands

The Falkland Islands, located off the southern coast of South America, are one of the most interesting places on Earth as they feature a unique mix of wildlife and cultures. Here you can see five species of penguins and some of the biggest albatross colonies on the planet. At the same time, the entirety of the islands is one massive grazing ground for sheep, who play an important part in the local economy.

Don’t forget about the beaches and colonial architecture as well as fantastically beautiful countryside. The Falkland Islands are a mix of South American exotic with posh British tradition, brought in by settlers, with extra flavors coming from a dozen other nations. Most importantly, this destination isn’t hounded by holiday crowds that besiege the hottest spots in South America.

2. Derawan Islands

It seems that the entirety of Malaysia is one major tourist hotspot. However, there is a lovely Derawan Archipelago, which managed to stay out of the list of top holiday destinations. Come to this magnificent place to enjoy some quiet time and admire the beauty of local nature.

Both the rainforests above the water and abundance of marine life around the coral reefs below will make you fall in love with this quiet spot in the Sulawesi Sea. Here you can dive and get close to magnificent sting-less jellyfish and see some of the rarest marine species on the planet.

3. Shaxi

A small Chinese town in the Yunnan Province, Shaxi is one of the few remaining places where you can see a part of the old trading path that tries to preserve its historic look. If you want to see some historical beauty in China, unmarred by the signs of rapidly-developing civilization, there is no better place.

It truly is a site of living history, surrounded by the vastness and magnificence of the region’s nature. Seeing Shaxi Valley alone is worth the trip, but the historical part of the adventure is sure to make it one of the most incredible experiences you can get in China.

4. Romania

The entire country of Romania is full of throwbacks to the Middle Ages, making it one of the most interesting destinations for those who want to learn more about the history of Europe.

The castle of Count Dracula is located there as well as many other stone citadels with haunting and bloody histories.

Around all this, you can see the beautiful rural life where practices dating back centuries mix with modern technology. All in all, the experience of exploring Romania will be unforgettable and educational for everyone who wants to see some medieval monuments. Don’t forget fantastic food!

5. The Sundarbans National Park

Do you want to see the largest mangrove forest on the planet or a Bengal tiger reserve? If yes, the Sundarbans National Park in Bangladesh is the right holiday destination for you. It’s a UNESCO Heritage Site and one of the most beautiful natural hideaways that remain on Earth.

Admiring the beauties of local nature will take you days, so come prepared to hike extensively. But to see the real beauty of the park, you’ll need to take boat tours that will show you the best places in the region.

Foreign tourists are rare here, but locals love the place. If you want your trip to be as quiet and private as possible, make sure your it doesn’t coincide with the period of local holidays.

Loving Yourself Starts With Loving The Needy

Loving the needy gives you a sense of purpose

A common denominator for people who love themselves is that they know their purpose in life. When you are clear about what you are supposed to be doing with your life, you develop self-esteem. Most people with suicidal thoughts and those who are envious of others struggle with a lack of purpose. Such people end up hating and questioning their very existence.

Giving gives your life meaning. When you make a difference in the life of a needy person, you feel better about yourself, and you will, in turn, love yourself more.

Draws love to your life

Loving others brings more love your way because people love generous people. That said; give wisely to keep others from taking advantage of you. Human beings are social beings. We need to be around others to feel love and warmth. Rejection from people could cause you to think less of yourself.

When you are surrounded by love and receive gratitude and admiration from the people you have helped, you begin to see your value. Such recognition raises your self-esteem.

Build stronger social connections

Everybody loves to be part of a group, to fit into a particular click. When you associate with the needy, you will make friends with them and with other people who are donating to charity. Being in the right social circle where people respect and appreciate you also makes you appreciate yourself. Feeling that you belong and that people accept you increases self-love.

Do unto others what you would have them do to you

If you were in a needy situation, how would you want someone else to treat you? with kindness, compassion, and empathy? Of course. Helping others shows that you value yourself because when you are in need, you would also expect others to help you. When you love others, nature will respond when you call for help in your time of need.

Loving and helping the needy is an invaluable gift of love that you give yourself. When you give, you feel better about yourself. People around you will admire and respect you and will want to be around you. As a result, your self-confidence and self-esteem will increase.
