Every Christmas the Yuletide card portrays a silver star in a navy blue sky and every year the same heavenly object sparkles from the top of the decorated evergreen. At season's end the three wise men and their fellow shepherds gather at a hastily set up manger for the familiar nativity scene. Though it shimmers on the greeting card and its brilliance lights up the tannebaum, it wasn't a star that erupted into a supernova on that dark Judean night. The star that shone so brightly two thousand years ago was wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.

Too many days can be spent alone. Too many days can be lost to failure or fear. Too many days can be lost in pity. Finding your meaning and direction in life, living your life purpose, will change that forever.

Why is it that selling drugs, sex, a big screen TVs, or any physical item is easier than selling someone on a new way of thinking? What is it that grounds us in our idealogy even if what we believe in doesn't demonstrate that it works for us? What is so compelling in our thoughts that we won't budge from our political or religions beliefs?

From the moment of our birth, we become externally focused into the material world. The world demands and commands we focus our attention on it. Exhausted at the end of the day, we fall into our beds to sleep. If we remember our dreams, they for the most part mirror our daily lives. Not only are we consciously, burdened, by our waking life, in sleep we are burdened as well.

Life According to Green Principles: SoulBest

For the past several years I have struggled with getting (and staying) fit. Ok I admit it, the struggle has been longer than just a few years. As a kid, instead of playing nicely with the girls, I fought with the neighborhood boys. I attempted to join their fun and received new scars weekly in bloody games of soccer. I was always the last one picked to play on the kickball team and, as the catcher of my 5th grade softball team, I pummeled the pitcher in the head with a fast ball. Uncoordinated in team sports, I succeeded only at baton twirling which was fun but I barely broke a sweat. After failures in group sports I thought I'd try running so, a few years ago I attempted to train for a half marathon. I ended up limping home in tears and thought I’d never exercise again. (I couldn't even MOVE after that, much less exercise!)

A panic attack, as the words indicate, is some sort of intense fear that grips you quite suddenly, without any warning whatsoever. You panic under a very strong bout of anxiety or fear about losing physical and mental control. You may feel emotionally unstable and your behavior may change from steady to erratic. This is because a panic attack makes you feel physically and mentally debilitated. A feeling of utter helplessness may overwhelm you when under a panic attack. The two most important expressions that describe it closely are ‘sudden’ or ‘abrupt’ and 'intense fear.' When you suffer repeated panic attacks at frequent, regular or irregular intervals, you are said to be suffering from a panic disorder.

When some intense fear suddenly grips you, making you feel helpless and out of control you may be under a panic attack. It could last for a very brief period of time, may be not more than ten minutes, during which your thoughts seem to be disorganized and your body appears to be disoriented, because of which you feel you are perhaps ‘going crazy’.

If all we get out of the Virginia Tech Massacre is that some lunatic loner did this and we have to isolate and institutionalize such people, we're making a huge mistake.
