Stephanie West Allen presents Friday’s lighter wisdom — GIFTS FROM YOUR INNER DONKEY posted at idealawg. Most of us have an inner Eeyore. To indulge it can bring release and laughter and freedom. To be the absolute worst whatever-it-is-you-want-to-be lets loose in you a power that has been spent in resisting it. A power that brings many benefits.

Ruby presents The Truth About The Secret, aka The Intention-Manifestation Model of Life posted at Advice and Rants. If you don’t believe in your goal, you won’t achieve it.

Karl Staib presents Do You Want to Know Your Future? posted at Karl Staib and the Pursuit of Happiness. The future validates our present actions. Are you a good mother? We’ll see in twenty years. Were you a good business man? We’ll find out in thirty years. This is also a mistake. Why wait 10, 20, 30 years to feel good about your life? You try your best to make good decisions now, but in ten years when you have more wisdom you might look back and laugh at your naïve self.
Therapydoc presents Intimate Opportunities posted at Everyone Needs Therapy. Therapydoc says, “I’m thinking about opportunities to connect and simply be with people, the ones that will make a difference years from now.”
Scott Lee presents Design Your Life, Like a Paint Brush posted at Scott Free Thinking. As we grow up, things tend to be a little less extravagant.

We no longer desire to be Hollywood actors, because we can now see what a ridiculous amount of competition there is for that area.
Silicon Valley Blogger presents Cheap Barbecue And Safe Fireworks: Our Fun Family Extravaganza posted at The Digerati Life. Silicon Valley Blogger says, “We snapped some fine images of our 4th of July celebration at our house, which saw our usual gathering of a subset of our family which numbered 17 people. If attendance had included my entire family plus close friends, that number would easily double.”

Adam presents Weekend Entrepreneur: If You Really Want Something Done, Find a Busy Person To Do It posted at Queercents. The notion of balance requires the presence of opposites. Opposites suggest the presence of competition. Work is the opposite of play. Career is the opposite of family.
Tupelo Kenyon presents Facing Fear with Deliberate Awareness posted at Tupelo Kenyon. Fear is over-rated. We do it to ourselves. Fear has no reality other than our attention to it. Deliberately steer your attention to pictures in your imagination that emphasize what you want to happen – (instead of what you most dread) . . . and the fear dissipates. (Enjoy soothing instrumental music as you read plus songs with lyrics related to each article – all free)
James presents The Three Fundamentals of Dealing With People posted at you shy devil you.

Mike Elias presents Buddha and the Essence of God posted at Enlightenment, Sex, and Sweeet Guitar. Our egoic brains are duality machines. We see the difference between hot and cold, good and evil, male and female, what we want and what we don’t want, joy and sadness, by noticing the differences between the two opposites. This is why, when you tell yourself something, whether it’s true or not, your brain will automatically generate an opposite.
