THE GREATER GOOD

Submitted by ub on

The takeaway is about offering to help others during their time of need. As Hurricane Sandy came storming in to cause death, destruction and affecting millions. Many have been displaced, their houses are gone, family memories washed away and power has still not been restored. In addition, some schools are not open, with students left out out in the cold.

Hurricane Sandy can teach US a lesson in what is important. State assessments, mandatory curriculum, and for a few days even the election took a back seat to the devastation that played out all across the eastern seaboard.

Improving Our Memory

In many ways, our memories shape who we are. They make up our internal biographies — the stories we tell ourselves about what we've done with our lives. They tell us who we're connected to, who we've touched during our lives, and who has touched us. In short, our memories are crucial to the essence of who we are as human beings.

LESS STRESS?

Submitted by ub on

Your life may improve if you take time to stand, or sit still regularly. Some call it meditation, others call it quiet time, but it does not really matter what you label it. Their long term benefits are all the same. Some say it's like developing spiritual muscles that will allow you to be happier, less stressed and much more focused.

Stress comes is many shapes and forms. Unpaid bills, an argument with your family member, a serious health problem, or a traffic accident. Suck it up, because this is all part of everyday life.
