Back pain includes depression, which emerges from fractures. Fractures include pathologic, complete/incomplete, avulsion, comminuted, depressed, compression, and oblique, greenstick, simple, compound, spiral, and transverse. The conditions noted in hip fractures include intracapsular, Intertrochanteric, and extracapsular. Each problem rests within the blood vessels, yet it starts with fractures. Blood vessels make up the arteries, capillary, and veins. As you can see chest pain can lead to back pain, since the blood vessels travel. Overexerting the bones can cause fractures, which lead to depression and related symptoms.

In fact, damage here may derive from osteomyelitis, Cushing’s syndrome, bone tumors, aging, malnutrition, immobility, multiple myeloma, osteoporosis, trauma impacts, and so on. Fractures can lead to serious back pain. When fractures break the bones, it affects the bone covering known as penosteum. The covering is transparent and has a rich outlay of neurons. Fractures often are caused by trauma impacts, such as car accidents, falls from horses, etc.

The signs:
If neurological conditions are, involved the patient will feel toe numbness. The legs and feet may feel weak. Abolish reflexes are reduced if the fracture is at the lower region of the back. Muscle spasms and muscle reflexes often occur at the higher area of the back. If you have such fracture, bed rest is recommended to reduce the pain. If acute back conditions exist, experts will need to assess the problem. Broken back is an acute condition, which you should avoid rolling, or logrolling.

Fractures include the stable and unstable breaks. If the fracture is unstable, it can severely damage the spine. In such case, the doctor will surgically correct the problem or recommend that the patient wear a cast. The damage can tear the nerves. If you feel you have broken your back, you are wise to avoid atypical movement, since it will progress the problem when pressure is applied to the area.

If the fracture is spontaneous, the doctor can help minimize the pain by prescribing a brace. You will need to avoid applying weight to the area where the fracture rests. Bad falls can break the coccyx, which can sit in coccygodynia. Below the triangular bones at the lower back and near the baseline of the spinal column, the hips are joined with bones that set on either side and form parts that connect to the pelvis. (Sacrum) This area joins with five merging bones, which are fused with the sacrum and is commonly known as the coccyx.

Fractures emerging from the coccyx may include bruising of the periosteum, which is treated by steroid injections. Periosteum is a membrane, which the connective’ tissues meticulously empower each bone within the skeletal structure, excluding the articular exteriors.
Fractures can also invent bursitis. When one of the bursa is disrupted it will inflame, swell, and cause pain. The problem emerges from friction. Friction is often increased when bursitis starts, since instead of separating particular tissues, the fluids emerging from bursa stand in the way. Bursitis includes obturator internis, trochanteric, and ischial. Bursa conditions such as the named rest near the buttocks, lower back, and hip.

To avoid bursitis you may want to avoid sitting, standing, or lying in one position at all times. Instead, shift your resting states. Doctors will often inject a mixture of anesthetic lidocaine and steroids to correct bursitis.

In addition to fractures and bursitis, back pain can start from gynecological conditions. The condition is related to reproductive organs and disease. Females are the prime targets who experience pain from this condition. The condition causes pain, swelling, and inflammation. The condition will affect the spinal cord.

10 Questions You Should Ask Yourself: A Preparation To Self-Improvement!

Be all you can be, but it’s not always in the Army. I often see myself as somewhat contented with my life the way things are, but of course it’s hard to think of anything else when where are real issues to be discussed.

Still I aspire for something deeper and more meaningful.

So we’re all pelted with problems. Honestly it shouldn’t even bother or even hinder us to becoming all we ought to be. Aspirations as kids should continue to live within us, even though it would be short-lived or as long as we could hold on to the dream. They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks or can they?

1. What do I really want?
The question of the ages. So many things you want to do with your life and so little time to even go about during the day.

Find something that you are good at can help realize that small step towards improvement. Diligence is the key to know that it is worth it.

2. Should I really change?
Today’s generation has taken another level of redefining ’self’, or at least that’s what the kids are saying. Having an army of teenage nieces and nephews has taught me that there are far worse things that they could have had than acne or maybe even promiscuity. So how does that fit into your lifestyle?

If history has taught us one thing, it’s the life that we have gone through. Try to see if partying Seventies style wouldn’t appeal to the younger generation, but dancing is part of partying. Watch them applaud after showing them how to really dance than break their bones in break-dancing.

3. What’s the bright side in all of this?
With so much is happening around us there seem to be no room for even considering that light at the end of the tunnel. We can still see it as something positive without undergoing so much scrutiny. And if it’s a train at the end of the tunnel, take it for a ride and see what makes the world go round!

4. Am I comfortable with what I’m doing?
There’s always the easy way and the right way when it comes to deciding what goes with which shoes, or purse, shirt and whatnot. It doesn’t take a genius to see yourself as someone unique, or else we’ll all be equally the same in everything we do. Variety brings in very interesting and exciting questions to be experimented.

5. Have I done enough for myself?
Have you, or is there something more you want to do? Discontentment in every aspect can be dangerous in large doses, but in small amounts you’ll be able to see and do stuff you could never imagine doing.

6. Am I happy at where I am today?
It’s an unfair question so let it be an answer! You love being a good and loving mom or dad to your kids, then take it up a notch! Your kids will love you forever. The same goes with everyday life!

7. Am I appealing to the opposite sex?
So maybe I don’t have an answer to that, but that doesn’t mean I can’t try it, though. Whether you shape-up, change the way you wear your clothes or hair, or even your attitude towards people, you should always remember it will always be for your own benefit.

8. How much could I have?
I suppose in this case there is no such things on having things too much or too little, but it’s more on how badly you really need it. I’d like to have lots of money, no denying that, but the question is that how much are you willing to work for it?

9. What motivates me?
What motivates you? It’s an answer you have to find out for yourself. There are so many things that can make everyone happy, but to choose one of the may be the hardest part. It’s not like you can’t have one serving of your favorite food in a buffet and that’s it. Just try it piece by piece.

10. What Really Makes You Tick?
So? What really makes you tick? You can be just about anything you always wanted to be, but to realize that attaining something that may seem very difficult is already giving up before you even start that journey. Always remember, that self-improvement is not just about the physical or philosophical change you have to undergo, but it’s something that you really want.

Everyone, at some point of his or her life, has dreamed of being somebody special, somebody big. Who hasn’t fantasized about being the one who hits the game-winning homer? Who hasn’t dreamed of being the homecoming queen? And how many times have we dreamed of being rich, or successful, or happy with our relationships?

Often, we dream big dreams and have great aspirations. Unfortunately, our dreams remain just that – dreams. And our aspirations easily collect dust in our attic.

This is a sad turn of events in our life. Instead of experiencing exciting adventures in self actualization, we get caught up in the humdrum of living from day-to-day just barely existing.

But you know what? Life could be so much better, if only we learned to aim higher.

The most common problem to setting goals is the word impossible. Most people get hung up thinking I can’t do this. It’s too hard. It’s too impossible. No one can do this.

However, if everyone thought that, there would be no inventions, no innovations, and no breakthroughs in human accomplishment.

Remember that scientists were baffled when they took a look at the humble bumblebee. Theoretically, they said, it was impossible for the bumblebee to fly. Unfortunately for the bumble, bee no one has told it so. So fly it does.

On the other hand, some people suffer from dreaming totally outrageous dreams and not acting on them. The result? Broken dreams, and tattered aspirations.

If you limit yourself with self-doubt, and self-limiting assumptions, you will never be able to break past what you deem impossible. If you reach too far out into the sky without working towards your goal, you will find yourself clinging on to the impossible dream.

Try this exercise. Take a piece of paper and write down some goals in your life. Under one header, list down things ‘you know you can do’. Under another header, write the things ‘you might be able to do.’ And under one more, list the things that that are ‘impossible for you to do.’

Now look at all the headers strive every day to accomplish the goals that are under things ‘you know you can do’. Check them when you are able to accomplish them. As you slowly are able to check all of your goals under that heading, try accomplishing the goals under the other header-the one that reads ‘you might be able to do.’

As of the items you wrote under things I could do are accomplished, you can move the goals that are under things that are ‘impossible for you to do’ to the list of things ‘you might be able to do.’

As you iterate through this process, you will find out that the goals you thought were impossible become easier to accomplish. And the impossible begin to seem possible after all.

You see, the technique here is not to limit your imagination. It is to aim high, and start working towards that goal little by little. However, it also is unwise to set a goal that is truly unrealistic.

Those who just dream towards a goal without working hard end up disappointed and disillusioned.

On the other hand, if you told someone a hundred years ago that it was possible for man to be on the moon, they would laugh at you. If you had told them that you could send mail from here to the other side of the world in a few seconds, they would say you were out of your mind. But, through sheer desire and perseverance, these impossible dreams are now realities.

Thomas Edison once said that genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. Nothing could be truer. For one to accomplish his or her dreams, there has to be had work and discipline. But take note that that 1% has to be a think-big dream, and not some easily accomplished one.

Ask any gym rat and he or she will tell you that there can be no gains unless you are put out of your comfort zone. Remember the saying, “No pain, no gain”? That is as true as it can be.

So dream on, friend! Don’t get caught up with your perceived limitations. Think big and work hard to attain those dreams. As you step up the ladder of progress, you will just about find out that the impossible has just become a little bit more possible.

If you are someone that is facing a divorce, you may be feeling very depressed or emotionally in distress.  These feelings are very normal.  You cannot predict what is going to happen when you get married.  Some marriages work and others do not.  It is important to understand that this is not the end of the world and things like this happen all the time.

You are not a bad person because you are getting a divorce.  If you and your spouse cannot longer get along, there is no reason to live together in a situation that makes you unhappy.  You need to worry about your future and the well being of yourself and your children if any.  Sometimes a divorce can be avoided with the right consoling and other times, there is just no hope.

You have to keep positive when you are going through a divorce.  You cannot let yourself be taken down by what is happening around you.  If you are being accused of untruthful accusations, you have to keep strong so that you can defend your name and your reputation. 

Do not give up.  You have to be able to fight for what you think is right until the end.  If you are determined to get something that is rightfully yours, you need to stand up for it.  Getting what you want in a divorce is not always possible, but you do have to keep up a good fight for it.  You have to make sure that you are doing this so that you can keep up your positive attitude about what it going on. 

Keep yourself surrounded by others that are positive as well. Keeping your friends and family around you is important. You need to keep having fun and laughing when you can.  This will keep you in a positive atmosphere and keep you ready for what is ahead. 

Once the divorce is over and done with no matter what the outcome, you have to be ready to go on with your life.  You need to be ready to get on with your future and to make your dreams come true.  Your life is not over even if you think that it is.  There are always second chances and you deserve to have one.  Your time will come for love again and if it does not, you will know that you are better off without the other spouse.  You can make it on your own and have a good life.

Everything is in perpetual motion. The natural state of energy is to flow. Movement is the default state of everything, including us. Just as the rock rolling down a hill that will keep on rolling until something impedes it, people are naturally, innately impelled to move forward in our lives that we do it naturally, instinctively, unless something stops us.

So the question to ask when desiring to effect motivation in anyone, yourself and others, is not what will motivate them but what does motivate them already, and what (if anything) is stopping them?

So the key to getting more out of your staff, students, team, group, etc. is to look at each individual and see what they gravitate towards and what they gravitate from. What do they move towards and what do they avoid or retract from? This will tell you how best to encourage them to move in the direction you desire. Simply clear a path filled with what naturally motivates them and remove from their path the things that impede them.

Once you realize that people are naturally inclined towards motivation, that everyone in every moment is already quite motivated by something, and that forward movement, being our natural state, brings people great pleasure and joy, you can start to uncover the path already laid before you all for you to synergize your forward movement, and effect your common joy and pleasure.

Start off by coming from a place that presumes your team members’ enthusiasm, inquisitiveness, skill, and desire, as well as assume their strength and power. Even a person’s stout resistance is an act that takes supreme strength, power, and motivation. Even if they don’t notice it themselves – especially if they don’t know it themselves – your recognition of and appreciation for their inherent worth is a fundamental part of building respect, trust, rapport, and recognition and appreciation for you and your shared objectives.

Next, examine what drives them? Employers, for example, can ask what would make doing their jobs with passion and excellence more fulfilling to your employees than simply putting a paycheck in their pockets? Everyone wants more money, sure – but that’s not all they want, and giving them more money (while not a bad thing) is not the only way to motivate employees. What about more time off? Personal time? “Wellness” days? More or longer breaks? Personal phone call privileges? Nicer employee break room or bathroom? Get creative!

People also desire to feel like they make a difference in the world they live in. It is a fundamental human need, in fact, to feel like we contribute to other people and our world. So the key to getting more out of your team might be to give them more to do with it. Give them a personal stake in the outcome by allowing them to contribute their creative input to the process. Ask their opinion, and value it with due consideration. Let them run with an idea they have that you like, without you micro managing the process. Show that you value their creative input by trusting them to implement those elements that excite you with minimal involvement from you. All this results in giving each member of your team a feeling of importance, a sense of purpose, and due recognition and credit for their ability to take their great ideas to fruition.

Another way to nurture a feeling of importance in your workers that builds, in them, a desire to continue excelling, is to inform them of any news, updates, and current information relevant to the larger project, company, group, or bigger picture. Leaving team members out from learning any new developments that you think don’t affect them only makes them feel like they’re not really that important to the bigger picture after all.

Your job is not to pull your students, children, employees, etc. along; it’s to clear the way for them of all impediments towards propelling naturally, effortlessly, and enthusiastically forward. Cut the red tape binding them. Give them the resources they need. That includes encouragement, trust, and respect.

Like light to a flower or fuel to a fire, whatever you put your attention on, grows.

If you praise a child for exhibiting desired qualities, you support the development of those qualities. Likewise, if you punish a child for negative behavior, you unwittingly perpetuate that negative patterning. If you take your focus from undesired behavior (i.e.. ignoring a screaming temper tantrum) and instead direct your energy towards positively reinforcing desired behavior, the desired behavior slowly takes over and the unwanted behavior slips away from sheer neglect.

We are no different than that child, or that flower. Different parts of ourselves yearn for attention, and the parts we feed with our attention are the parts that grow. To produce a more desirable state, in your being and out in the world, be discriminating in what you choose to encourage with your attention.

The process of Reinforcement works on both a positive and a negative level alike. Positive reinforcement is the act of responding to a desired behavior by adding a positive stimulus in order to increase the likelihood of that positive behavior re-occurring. Negative reinforcement is the act of responding to a desired behavior by removing a negative stimulus in order to increase the possibility of a positive behavior occurring.

Conversely, there is punishment. Punishment is the diametric opposite of reinforcement. Punishment involves respond to an undesired behavior by inflicting a negative stimulus (positive punishment) or removing a positive stimulus (negative punishment) in order to decrease the likelihood of that negative behavior recurring.

In punishment, your attention – the “light” – is on the undesired behavior. Punishment therefore achieves little but pain, resentment, and (ironically) the reinforcement of negative modes of thinking and behavior. The end result of punishment is suffering, not rehabilitation; and suffering only produces more suffering. The end result of positive reinforcement is joy; and joy will only produce more joy.

At the root of punishment is a resistance to forgiveness. You wouldn’t berate a child learning how to ride a two-wheel bicycle for the first time for falling off, would you? No, you’d just help the child up, offering it comforting words of encouragement, then set it off to try again, cheering in the background the whole way. And yet you’d be so hard on yourself for the innocent slips and mistakes you make in your effort to live a good and happy life? Are you so much wiser than that child that you think you’re above making mistakes? If you think so, you’re not so wise, after all. And even for that, you deserve to be forgiven.

Positive reinforcement is used in parenting, education, politics, and business. It’s a classic management tool: the reward system, raises and promotions for a job well done. And it works, both for those receiving the rewards and those for whom reward remains but an incentive.

“Give them an inch, they want a yard,” the saying goes. Give someone a bit of something good, they want more of it. Positive-reinforcement is its own incentive. It feels good to be praised, appreciated. And when we feel good about something, we do more of it. That goes for your children, employees, coworkers, friends, students, acquaintances, and most importantly your innermost self.

We often absorb a lot through reading, conversations and internet surfing but it can stay in our minds without a transformative effect in our lives. Why is that? Sometimes it’s because we are in a gathering mode of taking in information. At othe times, it can be the emotional difficulties of taking what we have a rational understanding about and living it . It’s easier to have an intellectual understanding that doesn’t become a lived experience. This is one reason why people like movies and music: It’s hard to stay distant when you are watching a movie. We experience more and our walls get broken down a bit. People cry in movies, who may have difficulty tearing up in life.

Applying what’s in your head into your life is important. For instance, if your spouse and family members have told you that you spend too much time working and not enough with the family, this may be something you agree with upon reflection. You can recognize this, but moving into an interactive mode with the family may be difficult when you were used to being in the “workaholic ” mode. This is a new skill to learn so give yourself some time and don’t be too hard on yourself as you work on this aspect of your personality.

It may be awkward at first and you may not be sure what to do sitting in the family with your own kids after dinner if this is something you’ve ignored. Take it as a learning process and know you’ll be going through some growth pains. It also will be different for the kids to have you around more and a routine change that is new for them. 

The willingness to change an old habit and to create a new one seals in your intent and when you close the door to an old pattern you are making tremendous strides. Your intent is what will carry you along and once that decision is there in your heart you have already started to move in this new direction. Expect there to be some uncomfortableness in moving from the old to the new and be proud of your inner decision to change. Practice is what is key for carrying something from the head into the heart.

Not everybody learns the same way, yet rarely is taken into account in any educational setting, be it learning in the classroom or training in the workplace. A major part of the reason why some people excel and some fall behind in the same learning enterprise is dependent on the teaching method used.

People learn 3 different ways: visually, audibly, or kinesthetically. And while each of us usually has the ability to absorb, process, interpret, and retain information through all three of the senses involved – sight, hearing, and touch – in each of us, one usually dominates over the others in absorbing, processing, interpreting, and retaining information. It is our particular brain’s “preferred” method of learning.

In plain English – some people learn best by reading about something, some learn best by hearing about something, and some by doing it.

When you’re a primarily Auditory Learner, a more sound-oriented person, being taught visually – i.e. with charts, graphs, and illustrates – won’t ever be nearly as effective as a clear and concise explanation verbally related. By the same token, if you’re a primarily Kinesthetic Learner, a more touch-and-feeling-oriented person, a lecture would probably serve little other good than to lull you to sleep, whereas you could learn any new skill given an interactive, on-hands workshop on the subject.

Since we aren’t ever taught to examine by which method we as individuals learn best, we go through with unnecessary limits on our abilities to realize our potential. By identifying the type of learner you are, you can shed the weights and shackles making every step harder than it needs to be, and finally let your personal development take off.

Visual: Nearly two-thirds of people process information primarily through their eyes. People who say, “I see what you mean,” are probably sight-dominant learners. Reading text and viewing visual images (including charts, diagrams, illustrations, graphics, and animations) are the visual person’s most effective methods of processing information.

Auditory: About one-third of people process information primarily through their ears. People who say, “I hear what you’re saying,” are probably hearing-dominant learners. Listening to speeches, talks, lectures, and audio recordings suit the auditory learner best.

Kinesthetic: The remaining 5% or so of people process information primarily through movement and touch: hands-on learners. Young children make up the majority of predominantly kinesthetic learners. As they age, they gravitate more towards one of the other two forms.

Now, don’t stop at identifying your primary learning method, because that would be limiting yourself just as adversely, only in the opposite direction. You are a whole being, with vision, hearing, and touch & mobility. To deprive yourself of input on any of those levels would be cheating yourself. So identify which of the senses would consider your second-most prominent?

Armed with this self-knowledge, you can now take any learning scenario and make whatever adjustments you need to be sure your two dominant sense are being included in the process. This may come in the form of buying audio recordings of the books you’re asked to read. It may come in the form of doing research for a paper at the museum instead of the library.

Sailing the 7 C’s: The Basic Human Needs

Human beings have very few needs. In fact, beyond survival (food, water, shelter), there are only 7 factors that human beings require in order to live a full and contented life. All people of all ages and backgrounds and from all cultures and walks of life bar-none need the same things to live a complete and fulfilling life.  Our wants are vast and varied, our needs the same. They are:

1. Connection and intimacy – loving and being loved, social interaction, a sense of belonging, being related with others;

2. Creativity and stimulation – that is, things that stimulate your emotions you’re your mind: interests, hobbies, passions, the desire to do things with our time and make things where there was nothing;

3. Care for the body/mind – our physical health and mental/emotional health are inextricable, care for the one, the other also benefits, ignore one, the other suffers too;

4. Contribution: a sense of meaning and purpose – we need to feel that we are here for a reason, if it that’s a self-determining reason, to experience giving of ourselves to a greater good;

5. Comfort:  a sense of being safe and secure – things that help us relax, feel calm, able to rest, sleep adequately, experience peace;

6. Control:  a sense of control over one’s life – of having some measure of influence over our inner and outer worlds, a sense of “personal power”;

7. Conviction: belief in a “higher power” with genuinely benevolent intentions – the flip side of Control, this is the faith that sustains us through the hard times, the willingness and ability to surrender to the source of life and submit to the belief and trust that something greater than us is looking out for us, that we will be “okay”, that things always “work out in the end, that everything happens for a reason.

A lack or deficiency in any one area can cause the entire person to feel out of whack. Too often we concentrate on the handful of needs from this selection that we’ve proven to ourselves we’re best at achieving (i.e. ‘Status’ for a career-driven person; ‘Intimacy and Connection’ for a family man or woman), at the expense of the others.

There’s often a misconception that we have a limited amount of energy to use for our happiness and fulfillment, that like money, once we spend it all and use it up, it’s gone. Not so with life. Your career is not going to dissipate if you put attention on also having a family, or vice-versa: not if you don’t let it.

Exploring your connection to something greater than ourselves will not diminish your hard-earned sense of control over your life; nor will taking action and exerting some influence in your life diminish your faith in a higher power.

To find out where the source of upset in your life lies, copy the above list onto a sheet of paper with enough space in between each category for you to list those elements, aspects and qualities of your life that fall under each category. Do you have at least one item listed under each category? Are there any categories with a large number of items beneath them; any with none at all?

Look at those areas on the list that you feel you’ve cultivated well in your life; and praise yourself for it. Then look at those areas where you feel there’s room for greater attention and fulfillment. Give it some of your attention, and receive its fulfillment. Life is a balancing act; we balance our needs while pursuing our wants. The more of our fundamental needs that are met, the easier and faster it is to get all that we want.

Genuine Happiness Comes from Within

Life isn’t the sweetest candy. Sometimes, when I feel like the world is just too heavy, I look around and find people who continued to live fascinating and wonderful lives. And then thoughts come popping into my mind like bubbles from nowhere – “How did their life become so adorably sweet? How come they still can manage to laugh and play around despite a busy stressful life?”  Then I pause and observed for awhile… I figured out that maybe, they start to work on a place called ‘self’.

So, how does one become genuinely happy? Step 1 is to love yourself.

My theology professor once said that “loving means accepting.”  To love oneself means to accept that you are not a perfect being, but behind the imperfections must lie a great ounce of courage to be able to discover ways on how to improve your repertoire to recover from our mistakes.

Genuine happiness also pertains to contentment. When you are contented with the job you have, the way you look, with your family, your friends, the place you live in, your car, and all the things you now have – truly, you know the answer to the question “how to be genuinely happy.”

When we discover a small start somewhere from within, that small start will eventually lead to something else, and to something else. But if you keep questioning life lit it has never done you any good, you will never be able to find genuine happiness.

I believe that life is about finding out about right and wrong, trying and failing, wining and losing. These are things that happen as often as you inhale and exhale. Failure, in a person’s life has become as abundant and necessary as air. But this should not hinder us from becoming happy.

How to be genuinely happy in spite all these? I tell you… every time you exert effort to improve the quality of life and your being, whether it is cleaning up your room, helping a friend, taking care of your sick dog, fail on board exams and trying again, life gives you equivalent points for that.

Imagine life as a big score board like those which are used in the NFLs. Every time you take a step forward, you make scoring points. Wouldn’t it be nice to look at that board at the end of each game and think to yourself “Whew! I got a point today. I’m glad I gave it a shot.”, instead of looking at it all blank and murmur “Geez, I didn’t even hit a score today. I wish I had the guts to try out. We could have won!” and then walk away.

Genuine happiness isn’t about driving the hottest Formula 1 car, nor getting the employee of the year award, earning the highest 13th month pay, or beating the sales quota. Sometimes, the most sought after prizes in life doesn’t always go to the fastest, the strongest, the bravest or not even the best. So, how do you become genuinely happy?  Every one has his own definition of ‘happiness’. Happiness for a writer may mean launching as much best selling books as possible. Happiness for a basketball rookie may mean getting the rookie of the year award. Happiness for a beggar may mean a lot of money. Happiness for a business man may mean success. So, really now, how do we become genuinely happy? Simple. You don’t have to have the best things in this world. Its about doing and making the best out of every single thing. When you find yourself smiling at your own mistake and telling your self “Oh, I’ll do better next time”, you carry with you a flame of strong will power to persevere that may spread out like a brush fire. You possess a willingness to stand up again and try – that will make you a genuinely happy person.

When you learn to accept yourself and your own faults. You pass step 1 in the project “how to become genuinely happy”.For as long as you know how to accept others, you will also be accepted. For as long as you love and know how to love, you will receive love ten folds back.

Again, throw me that same question “how to become genuinely happy?”. I’ll refer you to a friend of mine who strongly quoted- “Most of us know that laughter is the best medicine to life’s aches and pain. But most of us don’t know that the best kind of laughter is laughter over self. Coz then you don’t just become happy… you become free.”
