Perfection is boring. When we’re perfect what do we have to work for? Instead of trying to be absolutely perfect, each day pursue being a little better than you were the day before.
The biggest walls that stand in the middle of your roads are created by you. The walls are built from your fears, self-doubt, and other factors.
This may seem like a negativity, but this is encouraging because once you realize this, it will help you jump over, go through, or tear down your walls.
Life after divorce – Get ready for a dramatic changeYou can’t begin to fathom the change that is taking place once you successfully complete your divorce. Naturally, this is going to take some serious time to assimilate and you will think about all the times in the past with your spouse, both good and bad. You will remember all that you had and all that you will no longer have. You will stare into the abyss and wonder if it will eat you alive. It is scary. Admit it. We do and so should you.The last thing you want to do is sugarcoat the dramatic change you have just made. In all likelihood you will effectively have been downsized. So, will your spouse. After all, a marriage is greater than the sum of its parts, but when you follow that formula in reverse you can see your lifestyle as you knew it, will have been more than halved, it will have been drawn and quartered (your attorney will be richer, not that it is a consolation).

Life change may seem to take years to achieve but there are steps you can walk today and in the next week that perhaps can change your life forever.
Most are little steps, but when combined together they can create big and lasting change.

RECENTLY, some friends divorced their partners after a few years of marriage.
Some have children and the adults often face lodging issues when they go their separate ways. Some will either stay with their ageing parents or rent a room on their own. As rent is expensive here, this can be a financial setback for many divorcees. Those who have children with them will find renting a hassle as it is not so convenient with other people in the same household.

A year ago, I found out that he was having an affair. He confessed but blamed me for not having time for him and the family. We had a heart-to-heart talk and he promised to end it, and pleaded for forgiveness.
These stories of heartbreak concern youths deemed ‘Beyond Parental Control’ (BPC).The label covers not only complaints lodged against youth under age 16 who aren’t old enough to be juvenile offenders, but also describes the state of their caregivers, who have thrown up their hands in abject defeat.

WELLINGTON : Despite the barbs of comedians and the spectacular bust ups documented in the gossip magazines, marriage really is good for you, international research has found.

HERE is how to raise a teen criminal:
Do not care about the child’s life.
Do not communicate with him.
Regularly abuse him physically and emotionally.
And, oh, for good measure, make sure he’s watching when you yourself are engaged in vices like gambling and smoking.
Counsellors say parents who do not put in the time can expect a crime – that of their children.

An Excerpt from
The Power of Attitude
by Mac Anderson
I grew up in Trenton, a west Tennessee town of five thousand people. I have wonderful memories of those first eighteen years, and many people in Trenton influenced my life in very positive ways. My football coach, Walter Kilzer, taught me the importance of hard work, discipline, and believing in myself. My history teacher, Fred Culp, is still the funniest person I’ve ever met. He taught me that a sense of humor, and especially laughing at yourself, can be one of life’s greatest blessings.
JUST PART OF THE BUSINESS
‘To get laid off may just be integrated into a narrative of profit and loss that they have dealt with day in and day out on Wall Street.’
Dr Caitlin Zaloom, a professor at New York University
NEW YORK: -Twelve months without a job. Fourteen months.
Eighteen.
