Serenipax: Before Committing, Thoroughly Explore your Compatibility
http://www.serenipax.com/2011/04/before-committing-thoroughly-explore.html
Monday, April 4, 2011. Before Committing, Thoroughly Explore your Compatibility. You've probably read articles about this already, but it bears repeating. Make sure you're compatible before committing to someone. That means:. What are your saving/spending habits? If you're a saver and your partner is a spender, this has to be addressed sooner rather than later, definitely before marriage and certainly before kids. Don't shy away from these uncomfortable talks. It only gets worse with time. Growing up, I ...

Serenipax: May 2011
http://www.serenipax.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 16, 2011. A Word About Technology. This is a reply to a facebook post that someone had made. It doesn't have to do with "serenity" per se, but it is a comment about the accelerating pace of technology. it's gotten to the point where it's almost literally impossible to keep up. Here's the post. It's about rapid obsolescence. A TV was a TV, and ok, so you needed a cable set-top box and probably also had a DVD player, but you never left like, oh geez, what am I going to have to buy NEXT month?

Serenipax: Ten Years a Stupid
http://www.serenipax.com/2015/01/ten-years-stupid.html
Tuesday, January 6, 2015. Ten Years a Stupid. While there are exceptions to every rule - murder without remorse, for one - I follow this rule:. I don't care what people did more than ten years ago. Think about it. Think about who you were and what you were doing ten years ago. I don't care what stage you are in your life, ten years is a LOT of accumulated perspective. Forgive yourself what you did ten years ago. And if somebody tells you some wild shit they did ten years ago? View my complete profile.

Serenipax: November 2013
http://www.serenipax.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 29, 2013. Only Compete with Yourself. This was written to console a friend of mine who was bothered by her treatment by internet trolls on a board we both comment on. So read it in that context, but I believe it's good advice for living in real life too. I can see you're upset by this. I have a few things to impart to you, and I hope it helps. There are two quotes that I think are most relevant here:. Only be in competition with yourself.". Ignore them. I mean it. Only YOUR opinion of YO...

Serenipax: January 2013
http://www.serenipax.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 20, 2013. Small Gestures Make a Big Difference. Something I received in email inspired me to say this. Trivial things to us can make a huge difference to others. For example, there's someone I know and work with. My company pays people at all salary ranges and I assumed anyone who works there at the very least lives comfortably if frugally. Frankly that's not the only time that's happened to me. And it humbles me every time. Those of us who are lucky enough to have a little extra. eve...

Sunday, June 30, 2013. Refuse Anger and Hatred. One day, the Dalai Lama was walking with some of his followers. A man came up to the Lama and laid into him angrily for quite some time. Throughout all this, the Lama simply smiled. Eventually the man gave up and left. One of the followers asked, "How could you let him talk to you that way? How could you not respond? The Lama replied, "If someone brings you a gift, and you refuse it, to whom does the gift belong? Exactly," said the Lama. Links to this post.
