'Do You Know that Stress Could Lead to Depression and Suicidal Thought?' - Personal Learning Lifestyle Blog Post - February 27, 2007
Personal Learning Lifestyle blog post is entitled, "Do You Know that Stress Could Lead to Depression and Suicidal Thought?"
It says, "When we look at specific examples of mental health problems, we discover that stressful negative life events account for a large number of depression cases.
In 1969, when a team of investigators looked at the life events of 185 depressed patients prior to the onset of their depression, they discovered that, in almost all cases, there was an overwhelming excess of negative life events or events involving some sort of personal loss." Read Complete Post

'You Should Think like I do' - Blair Warren's Blog Post - February 24, 2007
Blair Warren's article is reprinted here.
About the Author
Blair Warren is the author of "The Forbidden Keys to Persuasion." Visit his website at http://www.blairwarren.com
You Should Think Like I Do
I like “how to be successful” books. I read a lot of them. I get value out of most of them. But they often contain a common element that just rubs me wrong.
Pick up most “how to be successful” books and you’ll see it on nearly every page. If you want to be successful, you need to think the way the author thinks. You need to see things the way the author sees things. You need to believe the things the author believes. Etc, etc.
Of course, it’s rarely stated out right, but the message is there just the same: if you want to be successful, you need to think like I do.
The trouble is, you can’t just decide to start thinking like someone else and have it stick. Why? Because you are you; you aren’t the other person. And since everyone’s life experiences are unique, the way we think will - to a large degree - be unique as well.
Does this mean we’re doomed to failure if we see the world very differently than some author we admire? I doubt it.
Just look at the wide variety of people who become successful in the world and then ask yourself, “If it is necessary to think a specific way in order to succeed, then how did all these vastly different people do it?”
Perhaps the key isn’t that we need to think like someone else but make the most of how we ourselves think. Since life gives each of us different experiences, perhaps we are to build upon those experiences and see where they take us rather than try to be like someone else.
Oscar Wilde said, “To regret one’s own experiences is to arrest one’s own development. To deny one’s own experiences it to put a lie into the lips of one’s life. It is no less than a denial of the soul.”
Heavy stuff, but I have found it to be true.
We may long to live the lives of those who parade their success before us, but to find our own success perhaps we would do well to perfect who we are than try to imitate what we see."

How to Channel "Greed" to Your Advantage
In his article entitled "Greed and Other Negative Emotions", Rob McPhilips introduces the definition of greed by telling a short anecdote on how greed affects an individual. The short story shows partly how a person should not only get rid of greed, but how to use that greed to his advantage. Rob then expounds more of this topic by channeling greed in a positive light.
Many famous people used greed to be successful, but when greed starts to use you, then the problem starts.
For more information on how you can channel greed to your advantage, visit Rob McPhilips' site at www.happinesssecrets.com.

Rob McPhilips redefines the meaning of "Psychopath" in his article entitled "Why Do Some People Hurt Others without Caring?"
"Psychopaths are focused on achieving their wants, at the expense of others," says Rob McPhilips. In his blog, happinesssecrets.com, Rob received an intriguing email about why some people like to hurt, or even kill others, without caring.
Rob's response was mainly to look beyond the mind of a psychopath by distinguishing what a psychopath is and is not. He gave out some concrete examples which concern relationships such as with family, friends, co-workers and even mentioned the teaching of Jesus Christ from the Bible, which answers this question justfully.

Logging Out
I was at my accountability partner's house this morning for some brief "lecture." I was shocked to say the least. For the first time, I have never seen Ian raising his voice at me. I was telling him about what happened, and I sort of chuckled a little bit, and then he snapped, "Why are you laughing? That's not funny!"
My smile disappeared, and I couldn't look him in the eye (for the first time). And then he proceeded to tell me about how I should work out the details of my life.
The bottom line is, he proposed that I should get rid of my internet. He said that I should save all my files in the USB and I could go to the internet cafe for an hour for two days in a week. That way, I wouldn't miss out on anything.
It does make sense. That way, I could do what I love to do (with lots of people around me, take note) and still use the internet without sinning.
And so, guys, I'm logging out in the meantime. I have already scheduled when I would go to the internet cafe to check my mails and research on things.
Ian and I ended our session with a prayer. It was a relief and I felt a huge burden being lifted off my shoulder. God has indeed saved me from the pits.
Although I have only known Ian for less than a year, I feel that we have bonded strongly and that our friendship would last forever. I treat him as my best friend, and I think he feels the same way about me.
Salamat sa lahat, pare.

Struggling and Failing
When you're alone with only the net as company, thoughts of immense stature gradually invades your mind, as in my case when I arrived from Baguio home alone. The temptation to do satan's work was overwhelming and in my struggle, I succumbed to his wishes, not once but several times in the course of two days.
I immediately asked for forgiveness from God, and questions of doubt entered my mind. Do I really love God? Am I worthy to be called His Son? I was on the verge of crying, and my conscience wouldn't let me sleep.
I immediately talked to my dgroup leader. I told him everything, even the questions hounding my head. Ikoy silently listened and when he spoke, he dropped his words slowly, "Those questions were actually the result of your actions. It's good that you can't sleep. It only means that you realize the mistake that you made."
He had this for an advice: "If your leg makes you sin, cut it off. If your eye makes you sin, pull it out." And then he made a stunning remark: "If you can't do that, then there is really something wrong with your heart bro."
I was silent all the while. I thought about what he just said. It only means one practical thing: Unsubscribe from the internet. But being a writer, I just couldn't do that. The internet is my bread and butter. Without it, I couldn't earn! (This is actually a selfish repose. In my quest for a Godlike character, and in times like these, the need for TRUST is very crucial.)
So what am I to do?
Ikoy proposed an alternative. Create a diversion. So, I made my own blog!
This blog would show my deepest desires, deepest wishes, deepest longings for God's words. Although I still have my internet connection (obviously), it is hoped that I only need to refocus my priorities in life, and that is to be worthy to be called God's child.
This is my first post, and I hope you like it. All for the glory of the Lord!
