For many, “The Secret” hasn’t been a secret for
centuries. It’s been going by different names. Every
other generation feels the need to rename it. To make
it their’s. But changing the name doesn’t change the
idea.

The concept of “positive thinking” was the last topic
and the “Law of Attraction” is the newest. But the
focus is still the same. What you think will happen,
will happen. Your thoughts will manifest themselves
into your reality. The words change, but not the
meaning.

Focusing on negative things will cause these negative
things to become reality. If your life and mind are
filled with anger, hate and dissatisfaction, you will
find yourself surrounded by those very same things.

Learning to focus your thoughts on positive things,
love, happiness and contentment will have the desired
results and your life will be filled with these
positive things.

Just wishing for the good things in life will not make
them magically appear right before your eyes. It’s a
learning process in which you teach yourself to change
the way you think.

The average human mind tends to focus on the negative.
Worrying about fears, whether real or imagined,
consumes much of our thought process. It’s part of our
survival instinct. Often this takes place on an
unconscious level, and we don’t even notice these
thoughts.

The Law of Attraction is the way to change your
thinking process. Regardless of it’s name, the result
is the same: Improving your daily life through your
thoughts.

The words, “I’m sorry” can get us out of trouble when we’ve done something wrong or hurt someone we care about but the key to a good apology is really meaning it and convincing the other person that you are truly remorseful. Apologizing just for the sake of keeping the peace is not an effective way to apologize. In doing so the recipient of the apology will most likely see through you and realize that your apology is insincere. A sincere and well timed apology, however, will help to mend the relationship that was harmed by your words or actions.

The most important way to prove that you are truly sorry for hurting someone is to ensure that the hurtful action is not repeated. Apologizing over and over while continuing to make the same mistake shows that your apology is not really sincere. On the other hand if you really mean that you are sorry for an action you will take careful steps not to repeat this action. Apologizing for your actions is one thing but being cautious not to repeat your actions really proves that you are indeed sorry.

Being specific regarding the reason for your apology also really proves that you are sorry. Many people are quick to offer an apology when they realize someone is upset with them but often they don’t take the time to figure out why the other person is upset. Apologizing without stating the reason for the apology shows that you don’t understand the problem and that you aren’t sincere in your apology. This is not an effective way to make an apology. However, if you offer a specific reason for your apology you are proving that you understand what you did to hurt the other person and that do not want to repeat that action.

Another way to prove that your apology is authentic is to be sure to offer the apology in person. Having a third party speak to the person you have offended or apologizing via email or voice mail conveys a lack of caring. This kind of apology shows that you aren’t truly sorry for your actions. Meeting with the person face to face to have a sincere conversation and offer your apology is one way to really prove that you are sorry. It shows that you care enough about the other person to meet with them directly to try to make amends for your contributions to the disagreement.

In apologizing, if you want to prove that you really mean it, be careful not to place blame on the person you are apologizing to. Your apology is about telling the other person why you believe that you did something wrong. While they may have contributed to the situation, now is not the time to point out their faults. Instead take full responsibility for what you have done wrong. Accepting full responsibility for your actions and apologizing for them without placing blame on the other person will prove that your apology is sincere.

A genuine apology will also include telling the other person why your actions were wrong and how you intend to avoid hurting them in the future. Doing this proves to them not only that you understand you were wrong but that you understand why you were wrong. It also lets them know that you have already formulated a plan of action to ensure that this situation does not arise in the future.

The timing of your apology can also help to prove that you really are sorry. Waiting too long to apologize may show that you don’t really care and that you are simply apologizing as an afterthought. An apology that is made too early may risk being ignored because the recipient of the apology is still too upset to listen to what you are saying.

It’s important to give the other person a chance to vent their anger and calm down before rushing to apologize. After a reasonable amount of time approach them and let them know that you understand their anger and believe that it is justified and that you wanted to give them a chance to calm down before apologizing.

Sometimes it is not enough to simply apologize for your words or actions. It is often necessary to not only apologize but to also prove that your apology is sincere. A truly sincere apology proves that you are sorry by addressing the issue and acknowledging what you have done wrong while validating the other person’s right to be angry and addressing how you will avoid similar actions in the future.

Social networking websites, they are all over the internet. While many would assume a large selection of networks is good, the selection often makes it difficult to find a quality social networking website. If you are interested in meeting new friends online, you are advised against signing up for just any social networking site that you come across. Instead, you are advised to take the time to research and examine a number of different social networking sites. Perhaps, it is best way to find a network that is not only popularity, but one that is considered a quality site.

In your search for an online social network, it is likely that you will come across FriendWise. FriendWise may not be as popular as MySpace, Yahoo! 360, or Orkut, but it is still popular. In fact, its popularity has increased overtime and it expected to continue increasing. If you are interested in joining FriendWise, you are advised to research and fully examine this popular online network. As previously mentioned above, that examination should enable you to decide whether or not FriendWise is able to offer you want you want or need to get out of your social networking experience.

The only problem with FriendWise is that it is hard to get information about the site until you become a member. Unlike most other networking websites, FriendWise does not automatically state whether or not they are free to use. It is safe to assume they are free because their site does not mention anything about membership fees and the signup page does not have any room for credit card information, but it is still nice to know ahead of time. However, despite the fact that FriendWise does not automatically advertise whether their service is free to use, there are a number of different features that they website does touch on.

The goal of FriendWise, like many other online social networking websites, is to give internet users a chance to come together and connect. Once you have signed up for FriendWise, you should be able to begin making your profile page. Your profile page will outline information on yourself, such as your likes, dislikes, and hobbies. After your profile page has been created, it can be viewed by other internet users. Internet users do not have to be a member of the FriendWise community to view your profile, but they need to be to contact you.

In addition to making contact and joining the network of other FriendWise members, you can also participate in discussions held in the FriendWise online message forums. The online message forum is host to a number of different topics. Popular topics that are discussed include sex, religion, music, school, and general issues about the website.

There are also additional features that are aimed at providing entertainment for FriendWise community members. These features include, but are not limited to, battles, quizzes, and polls. The battle is almost like a picture contest. Two pictures will be posted and you need to choose which one you think could win the battle. Most of the quizzes available on FriendWise are made by network members. The polls are also created by FriendWise members and you will find that they are not only easy to take, but fun to as well.

If you are interested in joining FriendWise or at least learning more information about this popular social networking community, you are advised to visit their online website. That website can be found at www.friendwise.com.

Your prince charming suddenly came up to you and asks you
out. This is a chance of a lifetime, so you said yes.

But how in the world would you know if the date would turn
out fine? You certainly wouldn’t know unless it’s over.

You notice that your prince charming is quite nervous on
your date. It looks like he had taken gallons of coffee
before the date.

It seems that long silence always gets between your
conversations. Prince charming then starts to look like he
is going to faint. This would turn out to be a bad date
unless you try helping him find his words a little.

Maybe he just needs a little push that can provide him with
the idea that you want to make this date a memorable one.

Usually, the first date involves going to movies, having
lunch, or spending dinner with a lot of sharing. Dates like
these just need a little jump-start to be more effective.

Try suggesting some activities that involve fun and
adventure.

Let your prince charming know that you are okay with him.
Try helping him get to his words or unfold his plans for
your date.

Help him by telling the stuff you want to do and the things
you want to try. Places you want to go or places you want
him to see would be very good things to tell your date if
you want to loosen him up a bit and have fun on your date.

Help your date in conquering the limitations that separate
him from you. Help him break the ice. After some time, he
may be starting to feel okay and loosen up a bit.

There are three main types of dating abuse that you should be aware about when you or one of your friends are dating. The main types of abuse are physical abuse, emotional abuse and sexual abuse. There are distinct differences between the three, and when you are aware of what each means, then you will be able to identify it at the drop of a dime.

Physical abuse happens when someone actually does something physical to hurt the other person or knock that person off balance against their will. For example, if a man is upset at his partner and he slaps her across the face, then that is physical abuse. Another example is when he shoves her out of the way while walking past her. If she did not approve of this or is not in the mood for it, then it can be counted as abuse. In fact, there is no time when anyone should be pushed, shoved or hit. Other examples of physical dating abuse are when one or both partners are kicking, scratching, biting each other or throwing things at each other. The reason why this is so bad is because it can easily escalate into domestic violence where someone can get seriously hurt or even killed. If you see this happening, then run quick!

Emotional abuse happens when one partner calls the other partner names or puts them down. There can be emotional abuse without physical abuse. It is one thing to give constructive criticism, but to tear someone down or to belittle them, especially in front of other friends and family is not good at all. If someone is to point out something wrong that you did, then there must also be a solution mentioned, and it must be presented in a courteous way. No person deserves to be called any names or be bullied. Another form of emotional abuse is when one partner neglects the other partner. He or she either keeps them away from seeing friends and family, or they don’t even spend time with them. Either one is a dangerous form of emotional abuse, and if you see it, then run quickly.

Sexual abuse occurs when your partner forces you to do something sexual against your will, such as touching, kissing, or having sex. This can easily escalate to physical abuse like hitting, shoving, kicking, scratching, etc. If you see any of these forms of dating abuse happening in your relationship or the relationship of one of your friends, then tell them to leave quickly. Everyone will be better off.

If you are saying “he dumped me. How will I ever survive?” mere words in an article will not give you comfort. It may help to know that while you’ve broken up, you are not a broken person.

When you’ve been in the position that “he dumped me,” you have two fears. The first is that you will never recover from the pain. The second is that no one will ever love you again.

Take heart, dear. The fear is real. The pain is real. But, the situation exists in your head, not in the real world. While one part of your life may be over, your life is not over.

You still have friends and family who care about you. In fact, you now have more time to spend with them. Many times, when you get into an involved romantic relationship, we lose touch with the other people who bring meaning to your life. You now have a chance to reconnect with them.

In fact, sharing your loss with them may encourage them to share their break up experiences with you. When you say, “he dumped me,” that allows them to be vulnerable about how they’ve been hurt. You will begin to see that your pain is not unique. You will also be able to see that other people have lived full and complete lives after a break up.

In addition to having more time for others who you care about, you will have more time to work on the issues in your life. Many times, when you are in a relationship, the activities you care about get pushed aside if your boyfriend isn’t interested in them. This is a good time to get re-involved in the things that matter to you.

If no particular activity comes to mind, then maybe you need to get a hobby! No, really, when you say “he dumped me,” what you tell yourself is that you are worthless. When you take up a new activity and invest in yourself, you prove to yourself that you matter.

There are all kinds of activities you can get involved with. The best thing to do is to join a group, class, or workshop. For instance, joining a hiking club will let you meet lots of people who enjoy the great outdoors. A ballroom dancing class will introduce you to people who enjoy the finer things in life. A writer’s workshop will be filled with creative types.

As you begin to re-engage with the world, you will lose the sense of desperation you felt when he dumped you. You will make new friends who share a common interest. And, you may even meet someone special to spend your time with.

The truth is that you will find someone to date again. Your soul mate is out there.

Your ex may have done you a favor by breaking up with you because now you have a chance to find someone who fits you better.

And, always remember, the best revenge when “he dumped me” is moving on!

Do you know what the main purpose of a social networking website is? If you are an avid internet user, you likely do. Social networking websites are online communities that make it easier for internet users to meet and communicate with each other. If you are an internet user who enjoys using the internet to meet new people, there is a good chance that you already belong to a social networking website. What about an online blog? Do you have one of them? If you do, do you know that you could use your social networking website to promote your blog?

Promote your blog? Why would you want to do that? Honestly, if you have to ask yourself that question you probably shouldn’t even have one. The whole purpose of a blog is to document your thoughts, views, and opinions on a particular topic, issue, or subject. What good will your blog do if no one reads it. In addition to sharing your thoughts with the rest of the world, did you know that you could also make money from your blog? You can signup for affiliate programs or other programs like Google Adsense. If you are using your blog to make money then you will defiantly want to promote it.

When it comes to promoting blogs, there are many blog owners who decide to let the search engine do the work for them. Search engines, such as Google, Yahoo, and MSN use special techniques that reads the content on your website. That content is then used to rank your website with particular keywords. This means that you run a blog on graduating from high school in New York, there is a good chance that your blog will appear in searches done on New York high schools. Although many blogs are successfully ranked in search engines, not all are. That is why you are advised against relying solely on search engines, when it comes to promoting your blog.

As previously mentioned, if you love meeting with or talking to people online, there is a good chance that you belong to a social networking website or community. The individuals that you talk to and that are in your community are likely the individuals that you wish to target. Since most social networking websites work to connect internet users who have the same goals and common interests, there is a good chance that your online friends will enjoy reading your blog. But, before they can read your blog, you have to let them know that it exists.

When it comes to promoting your blog on social networking websites, you have a number of different options. Your first option is to include a link to your blog in your community profile or profile page. This will allow other community members to checkout your blog, only if they wish to do so. The other way is to inform your online friends of your blog through private messages. Once you join a social networking website and create or join a network of friends, you should easily be able to communicate with those friends. Sending each of your friends a private message with information and a link to your blog tends to be more effective than just placing a link in your profile or on your profile page.

Although there is a good chance that you are already a member of a popular social networking website, you may not be. If you are not already a member, but would like to become one, you will need to find a social networking website to join. This can easily be done with a standard internet search. In your search, you will likely find a number of popular network sites, such as MySpace, Facebook, FriendFinder, Yahoo! 360, and Orkut. Before becoming a community member at one of these networking sites, you may want to first examine the website to ensure that it is everything that you want it to be.

As you can easily see, there are a number of different ways that you can go about promoting your blog on online social networking websites. You never known, but, in addition to promoting your blog, you may also make new friends along the way.

It’s true: men are from Mars and women are from Venus. Men and women are worlds apart when it comes to thinking, feeling and doing things. This difference is highlighted most especially in the game of dating.

It has gotten harder and harder to find a nice date that won¡¯t end up really badly or at least end hopefully. Some dates seemed destined to fail from the start. To make matters worse, one may have to go through these several disaster dates before hitting the jackpot and finding someone we actually can click with.

The problem is, it often feels like hopeless optimism to think that you may ever find “the one” especially after your personal history of disaster dates. You’re also experienced enough to know a good date doesn’t always end up in the kind of relationship you hope to find. Perhaps the key is to just keep trying. After all, you will never succeed if you quit trying.

Perseverance and a positive outlook are all well and good. However, it is totally understandable for you to feel like giving up. Going on dates require a lot of effort. In fact, finding someone to date to begin with can already be daunting.

Going to a bar or the local hot spot may be the obvious choice but naturally, these places are saturated by other individuals who are on the prowl for dates. Aside from that, you’re not sure to find individuals with the same interests as you in the local date scouting scene. If you’ve run out of dating options and want to give the whole business a new go, why not try speed dating.

Yes you can take advantage of speed dating services right in your area. Find other singles in Austin and go on a speed date. Perhaps you feel that singles are a dying breed and there are none left in Austin. However, if you decide to sign up for a speed dating service, you might be surprised to find a lot of singles in the area for you to choose from.

Speeding dating in Austin is the same phenomenon happening the world over. Singles come together in one venue and everybody there gets to meet everybody else. Speed dating in Austin takes the hassle out of trying to figure out which venues will be the best place to find dates or at least meet someone interesting.

Plus, speed dating in Austin takes the guess work out of the dating game. Sometimes, when you meet someone interesting, it takes a few wonderful dates before you realize that he turns out to be married. With speed dating in Austin, you can have a lot of short dates in just one night where you can meet a lot of singles with your preferred demographic. If some dates during the whole speed dating event doesn’t go well, you have a lot more dates that night to make up for it.

If however, at the end of the evening you still come out empty handed, it’s no big deal. You didn’t really waste a lot time and you can do something as fun as that again another time. While dating can be a nightmare, speed dating, particularly for singles in Austin, can be just the thing the doctor prescribed.

Speed dating is a modern approach of singles (including divorced, widowers, widows) regardless of genre, age, and status for even gays and lesbians merit considerations in this 21st century practice of meeting acquaintance, or would-be future partners in life.

Although, it objects likewise with that of the traditional type of mate-matching done so by ancient wealthy and royals of antiquity, beside that it has been practiced also in the orient by the Chinese as a part of their tradition, the present approach is very more liberal, for the people concerned in here have the opportunity to outstand to their choices and interests.

Speed dating of today matches and gives opportunity to interchange types, status, age and genre to such extent that it renders match-making of the olden days totally obsolete in make and perspective. Speed dating became popular in the United States after the introduction of the Jewish Rabbi Yaacov Deyo of Aish Ha Torah; who, in his observations, the Jewish singles were outnumbered by the non-Jewish, and that they should meet each other in groups, in cities where single Jewish are fewer.

The practiced has evolved general acceptance and went across other borders, and continents, and became a recent global practice. Various places of interactions to promote the meeting of interested groups or individuals are open in clubs, restaurants, and other places of social venues where it is openly organized. It also became popular in the inter net where there are a lot o traffic visitors of the entire global network.

Speed dating has reached the continent of Canada. It is widely practiced in Montreal, Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, and Winnipeg. Up-market bars sponsor the meeting exclusively of singles (they specialized more on unmarried males/females), ages 20 to 35 years old who are more adaptive of their personal choices and interests.

A single individual could meet a group and decide his/her choice later, when it is more convenient and less awkward not to be so blunt in right-at the moment preference of one from the other. Speed dating tends to be fast, safe and full of fun when a group of singles from 8 to 12 in numbers meet in up market bars. The practice extends in such popular places specified above.

Don’t mistake it; speed dating is totally different from romanticizing. It has nothing to do with treating the event as a prospect for any sex relationship, although it could be a fun time for flirtations for both male and female who chance at meeting a number of people in 20s. There’s time for enjoyment with total strangers having different levels of interests and respective characters and choices.

Group encounters entails a three-minute chance to evaluate the person of your preference, and choice is to settle on whether you’d ever wish to pinpoint the person of your elect to forego with in lengthier relationship that would front a lead for a life-long commitment.

There’re adverse angle as regards to speed dating around this side of the continent. Addressed exclusively to ladies in two categories; namely, the lady singles who speed date for the first time; and, the sex oriented/experienced young females such as divorced, widows, and plain play-girls. The male may have a lot of expectations on them either the positive sex expectations, towards results of their encounters on either these types of ladies.

The other type male date is that without expectations towards out-right sex relationship. These are the most wholesome speed dates where a “good choice” is on hand.

The Law of Attraction basically says we can get what
we think about. Our circumstances aren’t determined by
the fickle hand of fate, but instead are shaped by our
own conscious and unconscious thoughts.

To make the Law of Attraction work for you, you have
to know what you want and ask for it. Then, go ahead
and start making plans for after you receive it.

This doesn’t mean ask for money, and then start
spending like it’s in your pocket. But make plans for
how you’re going to spend the money when it does get
here.

The hardest part for most people is to be open to
receiving it. This is where doubting you really
deserve it can prevent anything good from happening.
If you don’t think you deserve good things, they won’t
come to you.

Another problem some people have is thinking about the
things they don’t want to happen to them. The thought
fulfilling universe doesn’t understand the concept of
“I don’t want”. If you spend your time dwelling on
negative things, that’s what you’re going to get.

The Law of attraction isn’t going to solve all your
problems overnight. But if you start practicing it on
a conscious level, eventually it will become second
nature to you.

You won’t have to steer your mind to thoughts of
positive things. It will already be there. Positive
thoughts breed positive actions and reactions. Give it
an honest try and you may be pleasantly surprised.
