...10 Deadly Sins of Negative Thinking...
...10 Deadly Sins of Negative Thinking...
Life could be so much better for many people, if they would just spot their negative thinking habits and replace them with positive ones.
Negative thinking, in all its many-splendored forms, has a way of creeping into conversations and our thinking without our noticing them. The key to success, in my humble opinion, is learning to spot these thoughts and squash them like little bugs. Then replace them with positive ones. You’ll notice a huge difference in everything you do.
Let’s take a look at 10 common ways that negative thinking emerges — get good at spotting these patterns, and practice replacing them with positive thinking patterns. It has made all the difference in the world for me.

Thought For The Day..
A farmer clears and levels the land, removes the stones and thorns, ploughs and prepares the field, manures and nourishes the soil, waters and applies fertilizers on it. Then he sows the seeds and transplants the saplings. This is followed by the process of weeding and spraying of pesticides. Finally, after a long wait, he reaps the harvest. Once the crop is harvested, he then winnows it, threshes it and finally stacks the produce. All these various processes are for the sake of feeding the stomach. So too, one must feel that hunger, thirst, joy and sorrow, grief and loss, suffering and anger, food and appetite are but impulses that impel us towards attaining the Presence of the Lord. If you have this attitude, no sin will ever tarnish your actions. Over time, these impulses too will vanish, without a trace.You should not be enticed by the wiles of bad feelings! You should see your own faults and not repeat them. You should guard and protect the one-pointedness, with your eyes fixed on the goal, and dismiss as trash whatever difficulties, defeats and disturbances you may encounter on your path. Living a regulated and disciplined life is very essential. Real education must train you to observe these limits and restrictions. You take great pains and suffer privations in order to master the knowledge of this world. Similarly, you follow with strict care the routine to develop your physique. Therefore, whatever be your objective, you must obey the appropriate code of discipline.
The Hammus Wars Rage on.
Just months after Lebanon set the record for the world’s biggest hummus dish, chefs from the Arab-Israeli village of Abu-Gosh snatched it away with an even greater achievement.
On Friday, fifty cooks mashed up ridiculous quantities of chickpeas, sesame paste, olive oil, lemon juice and garlic and created the world’s largest hummus dish ever, weighing over 4 tons (4,087,5 kg). It was put on display outside the Abu-Gosh Restaurant, on a 20-meter satellite dish, provided by sponsors.
When Guinness official Jack Brookbank acknowledged the new world record and applauded the chefs for not sacrificing quality over quantity, Jawadat Ibrahim, organizer of the event and owner of the Abu-Gosh Restaurant, shouted that Abu-Gosh is the hummus capital of the world. Clearly taunting words meant for Lebanese chefs, who will most certainly respond with an even bigger hummus dish.
The hummus wars have been raging on between Middle-Eastern countries for a while now, with many of them claiming the tasty dish as a national delicacy. The origins of one of the world’s oldest culinary treats are lost in time, but when has that stopped people from fighting over stuff…

Tobacco tales - To smoke or not to???
Tobacco tales - To smoke or not to???
Now, This is in no way to mean that I support smoking but the truth ought to be known and people have a right
to make an informed choice ...
Lets hear it then .... what Dr. William Douglas
has to say about smoking
Hanging up those who'd hang tobacco out to dry In the last Daily Dose, I clarified a bit about my position on secondhand smoking and disease in response to some readers' comments. I also promised to reiterate my position on tobacco smoking in general in this continuation. This is something I haven't actually done in a few years, so it'll be a chance for me to bring anyone who's recently joined me up to speed on how I feel about smoking and health (and politics, too). Anyway, here are the four main points about tobacco smoking I've been making for years, and will continue to make until I get some satisfactory answers:
There are piles of studies and research on BOTH sides of the tobacco-as-health- hazard argument. A lot of it is inconclusive in its findings. But you'd never know this from the presentation of the issue in the smarmy mainstream media or among the politicians angling for another tobacco tax or some other form of regulation. They show us only the research that paints the most alarming picture - no matter how flawed its methodology or how biased its authors. What this means is that the average American couldn't make a truly informed decision about whether or not to smoke even if he or she wanted to. I don't think this is right...
If smoking really DOES cause cancer and disease, is it really tobacco's fault - or is it all the toxic junk manufacturers add to keep it fresh longer, lighting easier, tasting minty-fresh, or whatever? Is anybody researching this? Here's a better question: If studies found that smoking pure, unadulterated tobacco were safe, would we even hear about it? Think about it this way: Are the beef, cheese, and potatoes that form the raw ingredients of a fast-food meal what makes is deadly? No, it's the hormones and antibiotics in the cattle, the refined flour in the buns, the sugar in the ketchup, and the trans-fats in the fry-oil that make it harmful. Why should it be any different for cigarettes? If simply smoking tobacco killed, why weren't the Indians wiped out by lung cancer? We need to look at this.
If smoking really is provably cancer-causing, why hasn't it been banned outright along with asbestos and red dye #2? This means one of two things: First, that there really isn't enough evidence to damn smoking conclusively - only enough to hold tobacco companies for ransom in huge court settlements (almost all of which went straight into the pockets of states, not individual "victims") and regulate tobacco until it's nothing more than a cash cow for the government. Or second, that there IS enough evidence to damn tobacco, but the government is willing to tolerate a large number of deaths if a carcinogen is profitable enough. Either way, it's about money in the revenuers' pockets, not your health or freedom. Keep reading... My last major point about the mainstream's viewpoint on smoking is the most important of all, in my opinion. Here it is: This is a FREE country, or at least it used to be. One of the great benefits of living in a free country is that you can live your own way - even if it's a little riskier than what's optimum. This goes across the board, not just for smoking. If we don't want to wear our seatbelts or motorcycle helmets, why should we be required to? If we want to gorge ourselves on junk food (arguably a far greater mass murderer than cigarettes have ever been proven to be), we should be able to without the Los Federales interfering - and without our court system entertaining lawsuits from people who can't control their appetites. It's about basic freedoms to do what we choose instead of what some paternalistic government decides is best for us. Bottom line: We've all heard the risks some say are associated with smoking - this information has been mandated by the feds. But beyond this, the ball's in our courts as individuals. The government should have no right to glean billions in tobacco lawsuit settlements if we choose to smoke. And by the same token, the media should have no right to withhold from us the whole truth about the tobacco debate (I use this term loosely). We should be told ALL the facts, so we can choose what's best. It just isn't the government's - or the media's - job to protect us from ourselves.
