What do you want? No, I’m not asking what thing you want, but rather what is it about that thing that you are seeking?

Get to the root of your search. Do you want a new car?

Do you want reliable transportation, or do you want the prestige that comes from driving a shiny new vehicle?

Do you really want to do that kind of work, or do you just want the money and prestige you hope it will bring?

Do you want a romantic relationship?

Lifehouse - Storm

Sometimes, storms aren’t about us.

Sometimes, friends or loved ones will attack us for no apparent reason.

They’ll fuss, fume, and snap at us. When we ask them why, they’ll say, “Oh, I’m sorry. I had a bad day at work.”

But we still feel hurt and upset.

Hold people accountable for their behaviour. Don’t let people treat you badly.

But don’t take the storms in their lives personally. These storms may have nothing to do with you.

Seek shelter if necessary. Get away from curt friends until they have time to calm down; then approach when it’s safe. If the storm isn’t about you, there’s nothing you need to do.

Would you try to stop the ocean waves by standing in the surf with your arms outstretched?

Say whatever. Let the storms blow through. 

Most of us are persistent. We persistently dwell.

We have persistently tried to change what we cannot, usually a circumstance or someone else’s behaviour.

Takebehaviourergy, that persistence, that determination, that almost obsessive resolve, and persevere with the things you can do.

Don’t push.

Let go of concern about the seemingly impossible tasks in your life.

Softly, steadily, like the rain, let your kind spirit naturally remove the obstacles in your path.

Life is better when we flow.

But sometimes it takes a persistent flow to change the things we can. Enough water, persistently applied, can be more powerful than rock. 

A keto diet for beginners

THE KETOGENIC DIET

The ketogenic diet is a special diet that helps the body to burn off fat rapidly. The ketogenic diet helps the body achieve full performance, good health, mental health and weight loss. It is a diet with much-reduced carbohydrates which turns the body into a mechanism that burns off fat. The ketogenic diet, which is also called a keto diet is planned strategically to result in ketosis. Ketosis occurs naturally in the body to aid survival when the intake of food is short. Ketones, which are little bodily fuel molecules are produced in the process of ketosis, as a substitute for the low supply of glucose (blood sugar). Ketones are created from the fat breakdown, in the liver.
