Being Alone..

Being alone can be painful. It can also be blissful. It all depends on your level of personal development in this area. A joyful state when you’re alone is attainable. And it is a very worthwhile pursuit.

Once you learn how to be alone you will no long be chained to the desperate need to keep a person in your life even though the relationship is bad for you. Whether the person is a lover, a marriage partner, a friend, or even a family member what good is it if the relationship brings you pain and lower self-esteem? If you can’t bare the thought of being alone you will always be in a position of weakness in your relationships. However, once you learn how to be alone and truly enjoy it you’ll be able to negotiate your relationships from a position of strength knowing that you can end it and be okay.

We all experience moments of intense loneliness. We initially experience this when we are left alone for the first time as children. As we develop and grow we learn not to fear being alone. Nevertheless, there times when we face feelings of loneliness. These times can be extremely difficult at first.


Transitions in adulthood can bring on powerful feelings of loneliness. When we break up, get a divorce, or a partner dies we are suddenly alone. Before this event, we grew to rely on their companionship. We knew that during almost every evening, weekend, and holiday we would have someone to share it with. The sad feelings that you experience can be the same when a close friendship ends.


If your break up or divorce was preceded by months of tension, the separation might come as a relief initially. After a few nights and weekends alone, however, the relief can turn into desperation about being alone. It is at this point where profound growth is possible. You can use the pain of the break up and the loneliness to move yourself past the sometimes terrifying feelings of facing the future alone! Once you breakthrough and find your strength, which is present in you right now, you’ll experience a whole new world of personal power and freedom.
“I live in that solitude which is painful in youth, but delicious in the years of maturity.”

“I lived in solitude in the country and noticed how the monotony of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind.”

-Albert Einstein

IS DECEMBER 21, 2012 THE END..???

DO YOU BELIEVE IT?

 There have been hundreds of “End Of The World” predictions in the past and none have come true till now. So, is this just another attempt to sell various stuffs related to Doomsday - December 21, 2012? Many people are in fact interested in knowing more about this.

The book, “Beyond 2012? reviews several theories, prophecies, and predictions related to this December 21, 2012, and in fact, the author has found that various authors have used “faulty information” or have “bent the truth” to fit their theories into this December 21, 2012 Doomsday.

 It is a fact that the Mayan calendar ends on December 21, 2012, but should not we also consider that the initial date of the start of the Mayan civilization was 3113 B.C. and one complete cycle of the Mayan calendar would be 5,125 years in the future, i.e., Dec. 21, 2012, hence explaining why the Mayan calendar mysteriously ended on December 21, 2012! Even the Mayan priests who are currently living and working in Guatemala state that the so-called “Mayan Prophecy for 2012?, as stated by the new agers who have absolutely no idea of Mayan culture and religion, is a complete nonsense!

 So why these touts and publicity of the End Of The World In December 21, 2012? Well, I’d like to ask you one thing: Doesn’t these “End Of The World” predictions sound interesting and curious enough for you to consider buying a book worth $20? Exactly! This is what I think these are targeted at!

 All the oracles try to be as vague as possible, and even Nostradamus was right a lot of the time because whatever he predicted was so vague and so unclear that it could possibly mean millions of things. It is up to us how we interpret these vague prophecies, so it does not necessarily mean we are interpreting exactly what the oracle meant!

 And yes, there are wars and rumors of wars, disasters and destructions, but this doesn’t mean the world will come to an end on December 21, 2012. Various calamities and natural disasters might come as they had been in the past, and if they again come in the future (which they will) we’d survived and we will survive! Various terrorist insurgence and major terrorist attacks may trigger another world war and hence numerous disasters may follow, but hey, doesn’t this sound like the world that we’re currently living in?

 Throughout history from time to time, people believed that the end was near, and they were always wrong. The fact, however, remains that we can’t foresee the future, but what we can do is live with hopes of the future and optimism. We can only watch it with curiosity and skepticism and hope that all the oracles’ prophecy of doomsday are wrong.
