How to See Right Through a Liar
How to See Right Through a Liar
By Dr. Marcia Sirota
Everybody lies, that’s nothing new. What matters is the type of lie a person is telling. White lies are usually told to spare someone’s feelings, and are often less hurtful than brutal honesty. The type of lie I want to discuss is one that’s told for the purposes of control, manipulation or profit.
Those of us in the West believe that we’re free to make our own decisions and live our own lives, but this isn’t always the case.
Many people and institutions want something from us: our money, power and votes; even control over our bodies, and they’ll resort to lying in order to achieve their goals.

Provoking Points to Ponder on Life and Growing Older
Regina Brett, 90 years old, of the Plain Dealer, Cleveland , Ohio .
"To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most requested column I've ever written. My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:
1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.
Controlling Your Attention: The Most Important Skill of the 21st Century and How to Do It
Written By Joshua Becker ·
“In this information-rich, time-poor society, attention has become our most important resource.” —Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
Bruce Lee is credited with once saying, “The successful warrior is the average man, with laser-like focus.”
I tend to think he is right and maybe now more than ever. Especially as our attention spans, all around the world, shrink.
In a world where distractions abound, both big and small, the greatest skill we can personally hone is the control of our attention. In fact, the ability to keep focus amid ever-increasing distractions may just be the greatest determining factor of success in the 21st Century.
11 Mottos to Live By
Marjorie Kondrack | Apr 21, 2023 HumbleDollar
LIVING BENEATH OUR means is one of the best habits to develop if we want a secure retirement. Like many others, I learned this sort of thrift from my parents and grandparents, who lived through the Great Depression and, by necessity, had to avoid waste.
Not only did our forebearers survive the Great Depression, but also the Second World War came right on its heels. These were years of conserving materials—such as metal, rubber, paper and food—to support the war effort.
People Don't Change
Jared Dillian Apr 11, 2023
If there is a person in your life whose behavior bothers you—
It’s probably not going to get better.
People don’t change. Someone who is an alcoholic will always be an alcoholic. Someone who is a thief will always be a thief. Someone who is a sex addict will always be a sex addict. Someone who is a gambler will always be a gambler. Someone who is an adulterer will always be an adulterer. Unwanted behavior keeps going, and going, and going.
35 Gifts Your Children Will Never Forget
Written By Joshua Becker · 294 Comments
“You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.” —Kahlil Gibran
I have countless holiday memories. Most of them center around faith, family, and traditions.
Very few childhood memories actually include the gifts I received. I distinctly remember the year that I got a blue dirt bike, the evening my brother and I received a Nintendo, and opening socks every year from my grandparents. But other than that, my gift-receiving memories are pretty sparse. Which got me thinking… what type of gifts can we give to our children that they will never forget?
What gifts will truly impact their lives and change them forever?
A Helpful Guide to Becoming Unbusy
Written By Joshua Becker · 132 Comments
“Those who are wise won’t be busy, and those who are too busy can’t be wise.” ― Lin Yutang
It was in this video from Jeff Shinabarger that I first heard the phrase, “‘Busy’ has become the new ‘Fine’.” As in, when you ask somebody how they were doing, they used to answer, “Fine.” But nowadays, everybody answers, “Busy.”
Seemingly, busy has become the default state for too many of our lives.
.You Never Have Time, Only Intentions
by David Cain
In my new house the top floor is a single room with gabled walls and a single window that looks out over the street. I go up there twice daily to meditate for half an hour, so every time I’m in that room I can’t help but think, at least once, about how much time I have left in the day.
During those sessions I’m more aware of my thoughts, and the effect they have on me, than at any other time. And I’ve noticed that the amount of time I have left after my sitting—before I have to be somewhere, or before bedtime—makes a big difference psychologically.
21 Ways to Get a Second Chance
By Lolly Daskal President and CEO, Lead From Within
Sooner or later, we all need a second chance. Here's how to give yourself room to succeed when things haven't gone well so far.
When we get things wrong--and it happens to us all sometimes--the only difference between failure and success is our attitude.
When we give ourselves a second chance we open up the opportunity to do better next time, to grow beyond our past failures and go beyond what we know we are capable of.
Here are some times to give yourself a second chance--to show you can be better and do better.
1. When decisions become difficult. Remember your values and mission and what you stand for. Give yourself a second chance by leading with your values.
2. When you're angry. If anger gets you in trouble, make a commitment to learning to manage your emotions. Give yourself a second chance by leading with emotional intelligence.
