Weekly Themes: Week of November 18-24, 2018

The Themes for this Week are Principles and Ethics.  Do you have a Set of Principles?  Do you have your own Code of Ethics?  Some organizations (i.e. Churches) suggest you shouldn't (but use theirs instead).  But, when all is said and done, you are responsible for your own Life.  Even if you accept someone else's Code of Ethics, you will still be Blamed, if something goes wrong.  (And yes, some have been known to Justify one or more Crimes that they committed, by saying something like, "God told me to do it!")

How about a Principle of Living a Balanced Life? 

Word for the Day: Saturday, November 17, 2018

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Expansion.  Salvaging Expansion?  [or]  Expanded Salvation?  (Second one sounds better).  Keep in mind that multiple things can be Expanded.  For example, I fully recommend Expanded Intellect, as well as Expanded Spirituality.  However, be careful about Expanding the middle of your body, say, with excessive amounts of delicious food.  Balance is the answer.

Words for the Day: Friday, November 16, 2018

The Words for Today (Friday) are Trust and Faith.  Salvaging Trust can be difficult, if that Trust had been Violated.  However, we can have Faith in our own Salvation, assuming we aren't preventing it by our own Beliefs.

Word for the Day: Thursday, November 15, 2018

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Gratitude.  And I  *most*  *definitely*  have Immense Gratitude, for everybody who helped (or is helping) me in my on-going Salvation!  Notice, by the way, that we have Thanksgiving, Two Weeks in a Row this year:  Today, Virtually, due to a  "Word",  and next Thursday, via (at least in the United States), a National Holiday.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, November 14, 2018

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Equality. Salvaging Equality? We *do* have a Civil Rights issue in this World we are on. And some Governments don't seem to agree with the idea of Equal Opportunity. But, in the Universe, anybody can Be.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, November 13, 2018

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Prudence.  Salvaging Prudence?  [or]  Prudent Salvation?  (Hmmm...)  Since Prudence is based on Practicality, it can lead to a Balanced Life, where you are not in the sort of "trouble", that migh t *require*  Salvation.  In other words, prevention.

Word for the Day: Monday, November 12, 2018

The Word for Today (Monday) is Innocence.  Salvaging Innocence?  (Sure:  Would be a good outcome to a Criminal Trial).  But remember that "opposite of Guilty" is only one meaning of Innocence  --  The other meaning is found, with the following phrase:  "The Innocence of Little Children".  Be Innocent.

Word for the Day: Sunday, November 11, 2018

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Forgiveness.  "Salvaging Forgiveness"?  [or]  "Forgiving Salvation"?  (Both possible).  But, in my Opinion, Forgiveness can be a part of Personal Salvation.  What do You Think?

Weekly Themes: Week of November 11-17, 2018

The Themes for this Week are Salvage and Salvation.  "Salvage our Salvation?"  (Right!)  But there are different connotations to these two Themes:  You could Salvage a Boat, found after being lost at sea.  But has that Boat "found its Salvation"?  Because Salvation is a "more personal" Word, with a "Theological" Definition:  "deliverance from Sin".  Should be an interesting Week!

Word for the Day: Saturday, November 10, 2018

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Authenticity.  An Authentic Addiction?  (Instead of a Dinner Plate, the "Certificate of Authenticity" is for an Addiction?  That might make a good, "Saturday Night Live" skit!)  But realize the most important thing:  The one you  *really*  need to be Authentic to, is Yourself.

Word for the Day: Friday, November 9, 2018

The Word for Today (Friday) is Interpretation.  So how  *would*  one Interpret the Topic of Addiction?  Really, how?  (I don't have the Answer here).  But, to change the subject, if you know more than one Language, you have an opportunity for a great Career, as an Interpreter.

Word for the Day: Thursday, November 8, 2018

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Socialization.  Addictions in Social situations?  Absolutely, as people appear to like being with others, who share their Addictions.  (For example, how many Bars exist in the United States?)  But you can, also use Social "situations", to work together on Overcoming Addictions.  (For example, Alcoholics Anonymous is a popular organization).  One thing, in general, to note about Socialization:  Electronics (i.e Facebook) are fine, but In Person is, in my opinion, better.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, November 7, 2018

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Concentration.  Concentrated Addiction?  (Just dissolve in Alcohol).  But, regardless, remember that  "You Get what you Concentrate on".  In other words, Concentrate on an Addiction, and you get  "More Addiction".  So, instead, Concentrate on ways to Overcome these Addictions.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, November 6, 2018

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Acceptability.  Acceptable Addiction?  If talking about "Real Addictions" (which have "negative" consequences"), then that phrase doesn't fit well.  But one of the most important questions you can ask yourself is, more basic:  "Are you Acceptable to Yourself?"  The answer may surprise you.

Word for the Day: Monday, November 5, 2018

The Word for Today (Monday) is Generosity.  Now this one is tricky  (i.e. "Hey, you can have ALL of my Addictions.  No Strings Attached!"  Please don't approach it that way).  But there is no problem with being Generous with any hints you have picked up, over the years, on how to manage and/or overcome your Addictions.

Word for the Day: Sunday, November 4, 2018

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Sharing.  Sharing your Addiction?  A number of people actually do that. But no, I'm not suggesting it.  However, Sharing ways to overcome or, at least manage Addictions can be helpful.  And, if you are affected by this, be open to ideas from others . Live a Balanced life.

Weekly Theme: Week of November 4-10, 2018

The Theme for this Week is Addiction.  Definition?  According to  the site, mentalhelp.net, it is "the repeated involvement with a substance or activity, despite the substantial harm it now causes".  Note the word, "activity", because many are addicted to activities, such as Gambling.  Also, note the part about "despite the substantial harm it now causes", because people have tried to marginalize Addiction, by saying things like, "but we *all* are Addicted to water and air".  (Note:  I left "food" out of that statement because, despite the fact that we all need food to live, some are addicted to *excessive* amounts of food).  Live a Balanced life!

Words for the Day: Saturday, November 3, 2018

The Words for Today (Saturday) are Overview and Perspective.   These, together can make up an "Executive Summary", which is a good way to Simplify an article (or, even a book).  And how about Perspective?   ("Simple Perspective?"   Since Perspective often defines a Perspective towards a topic, approaching the topic in a "simple way" may help).  Am I helping, or making things more complicated?   :-)

Word for the Day; Friday, November 2, 2018

The Word for Today (Friday) is Reflection.  A Simple Reflection?  (As opposed to a Hall of Mirrors?)  [or]  Reflecting Simplicity?  Actually, there are two meanings for Reflection:  What you see in a mirror, or a deep form of Review.  There is a lot to be said for the second definition, because what you Reflect on, you tend to remember better.  So Reflect wisely.

Word for the Day: Thursday, November 1, 2018

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Study.  Studying Simplification?  [or]  A Simple Study?  (Both?)  One thing to do, is to be selective of, what you Study, because our Time is limited.  And, whatever you do, have fun doing it!
