Great point about relationships, Tom! Parents don’t really get to see the “REAL” person after just a few visits anyway. Most people are so nervous about meeting parents that they sort of freeze up. I know I did the first few times I was around my husband’s family. They were adorable and I thought the world of them – I just SO wanted them to like me that I couldn’t figure out how to just be me!

You’re right, though, parents won’t spend the rest of their life with the other person, though – so their opinion certainly isn’t the real one that counts. And here I am – a parent saying that!

Well here's something that I've seen time and time again: "Sin begets sin" Or mistakes give rise to further mistakes. A lie leads to another lie and then another. Good article. I really wonder how and if it is still at all possible to revive the values that the great people of before taught us. I am utterly dismayed at how a lot of people think nowadays and I really am at a loss on how we are going to protect the kids from it.

It is funny that we dont actually have the right to tell others what to think, say, belief yet so many of us do it. Especially parents, I see this all the time and in my opinion the worst at least for me has been religion. I mean really isn't there a time in your life you can decide if you want to follow that or not? Another big issue has been partners, I don't know why it took me so long to realize this but if I am picking a girlfriend or wife, why is it that I need the approval of my parents, they wont be with her all their life? I mean is it all just about emotions and how it screws us up and we are forced to listen to these people instead of stand up for ourselves and saying no? tom’s last blog post..What is your debt to income ratio?

That’s a great one, Sahail. My mom always said, “Tomorrow’s another day!” And she was right (as she often was!).

Peter, great point. We all want to fit into the Levi’s in the back of the closet but we want NO PART of the hour on the treadmill!

Good Point Joi,

Can be summarize as :

People want change, but they don’t want to change

We know we need to do something, but don’t do it for one reason or another

We need to take a look on our deep values and develop personal credo to get things done

One fact that always makes me feel great, whenever times get tough is: 'There's always tomorrow.' As in there is another day to come, with new opportunities and new possibilities. sahail’s last blog post..Law of Attraction - 5 strategies that will bring more luck into your life.
