    The human population There are many people in the world with a wide range of different characteristics and points of view. It’s only natural, therefore, that they would have different skills and perceived needs.  I referred to “perceived” needs for a reason. We don’t really need a lot in life and there are many things… Read more

  • Homelessness in a cashless world

    Mike

    ,

    When I woke up one morning recently I found myself thinking about what life would be like for the homeless in a cash free society.  A common sense approach to money Many governments around the world have policies that seek to reduce the extent of cash payments. It’s only natural that this would happen. Governments… Read more

  • Justice and fear of God

    Mike

    God is just I was a bit conflicted when thinking about this issue. I do believe in justice so realise that if I have done things wrong in my life then I deserve punishment. Also, I believe that God is good and has pure love for us all. In those circumstances I have said that… Read more

  • Dealing with health problems

    Our immediate response We are all different. Not only in respect to our appearance but also in the way we think. Our thoughts and attitudes to life change as we grow older and we all become older with each passing day. This brings with it inevitable changes to our health and well being. How we… Read more

  • The psychology of belief

    Mike

    Seeing our own faults In my earlier post titled, “Our awareness” I mentioned that we notice what is important to us.

    Our centre of focus Life is hectic and the demands of our human existence pulls on us for attention. We are more often than not focussed on things that we need as individuals.

    Being successful You are a powerful and successful person. Someone who exudes a level of confidence that brings respect. Your status and performance has brought you financial rewards that allow you to have a satisfying lifestyle. That sounds great and if it’s you I have no doubt you will be feeling proud.

  • Tolerance and Acceptance

    Mike

    ,

    Do you get frustrated with other people. Sometimes I do and I wish that wasn’t the case. It only happens when I am being intolerant. When I feel that my views are not being heard or accepted by them. If I had tolerance I would accept that everyone is entitled to their point of view.… Read more

  • Judgement

    Mike

    ,

    Being judgemental Do you have opinions. I am sure you do. Everybody has opinions about all sorts of things. But when your opinions are about other people there is a risk that you are being judgemental. It’s alright to have opinions about others but not if your attitude is that you are better than they… Read more
