LifeLexicon: The Balance Of Love
http://lifelexicon.blogspot.com/2007/05/balance-of-love.html
The Balance Of Love. Just arrived home from work. Much later than you had hoped. You walk into your bedroom and see your spouse lying in bed fast asleep. After getting ready for bed, you lean over to give your loved one a kiss. A little something to make up for the hours not spent together. She wakes up, turns over and smiles. You exchange small talk about the day. Then, out of nowhere “the thing” is mentioned. What is “The Thing”? It could be anything. She does it because she loves you. The more love yo...

LifeLexicon: How To Overcome Slowness
http://lifelexicon.blogspot.com/2007/05/am-i-slow.html
How To Overcome Slowness. If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. When I was eight, I remember riding in a car with other Cub Scouts. My Cub Master was driving us home after an event at a local church. Before we started the trip, I remember giving him general directions to my home. But as we neared my house, he asked me a question that still haunts me to this day. Technique...

LifeLexicon: Personal Relationships: Boundaries
http://lifelexicon.blogspot.com/2009/07/personal-relationships-boundaries.html
Someone recently brought to my attention that I might rely too heavily on forming boundaries with other people. This post is to discuss that claim. It will also discuss the people in my life, the roles they play, and the boundaries I've set for them. Because I was not focused on my own happiness. I had no idea when to say "no", even when I knew the movie would be boring, the website complicated, the loan unpaid, or my productivity compromised. Today, I still find it difficult to draw boundaries. I re...

LifeLexicon: Am I selfish?
http://lifelexicon.blogspot.com/2007/04/am-i-selfish.html
First of all, I'd like to thank those who have read my blog in the past; your feedback is greatly appreciated. Professional obligations and lack of inspiration have prevented me from writing new posts, but fortunately, I've come up with an idea which I'd like to share. You can expect more posts this summer, but first:. I attended and graduated from an Ivy League school. No, I’m not. I’m a happier, more productive and confident person when I believe in myself and my accomplishments. May 29, 2007 at 6:12 PM.

LifeLexicon: Self-Parenting And Dating
http://lifelexicon.blogspot.com/2007/05/dating-my-mother.html
Young boys want to marry their mother. Young girls think their father can do no wrong. As a child I also shared the same fantasy. My parents were my idea of perfection. It was easy to love them. How could I not? Between then and now something happened. My parents only pretended to be perfect. They were afraid and scared, but they never shared their feelings. They were frustrated and angry, but never talked about their dreams. That’s when I knew I had to look inside of myself for answers. I would say my p...

LifeLexicon: Form vs Function
http://lifelexicon.blogspot.com/2008/05/form-vs-function.html
Louis Sullivan once wrote:. It is the pervading law of all things organic and inorganic,. Of all things physical and metaphysical,. Of all things human and all things super-human,. Of all true manifestations of the head,. Of the heart, of the soul,. That the life is recognizable in its expression,. That form ever follows function. This is the law.". During times of weakness, when my vulnerabilities overwhelmed my sensibilities and I was forced to unmask my true nature, I came to the following conclusion:.

LifeLexicon: Making major life decisions
http://lifelexicon.blogspot.com/2008/01/making-major-life-decisions.html
Making major life decisions. Here are several strategies for making character-building choices:. 1)Make mistakes on your own terms. Making a long-shot decision based on your personal beliefs, may be a complete mistake, but at least it will build up your self-esteem in that you'll learn to stand by your convictions. I'm a big fan of this strategy. Whenever you don't have the time to decide, take the risk. Choose the path less traveled and embark on an experience you've never tried before. Don't worry abou...

LifeLexicon: What Is Intelligence?
http://lifelexicon.blogspot.com/2007/05/what-is-intelligence.html
The ability to comprehend; to understand and profit from experience. Okay Great. Now that we've taken care of the formalities, here’s my personal definition of intelligence. I believe most people are born with the potential to be intelligent. At a very young age:. We have the ability to take in the sensations of the world. We have the ability to recognize what we see, taste, touch, feel, and smell. We have the ability to relate them to our past experiences. We have the ability to reproduce or recall them.
