Vintage Joy
Vintage Joy By: Staci Johnston Some people meditate to relax or take hot bubble bathes. Well for me my version of that is refurbishing furniture. I absolutely love repainting things to make them new again. Bringing their inner beauty to the outside. It's like creating art only with furniture. The furniture is my blank canvas with its endless possibilities. I just love turning something old into something new or different. There is something about working with my hands to create that is just calming, soothing and relaxing to me. Like Mr. Miyagi use to say to Daniel Son, "Wax on, wax off." There was a purpose and secret to his method for work-life balance. He knew what he was talking about when it came to finding inner peace within yourself. So I totally understand where he was coming from there. When you start with something old, broken, drab or even ugly and turn it into something beautiful the process or transformation is just so awesome to me. It just feels so good to my soul. To me there is something soothing about the motions of sanding and painting, There is something magical about taking the top layer off of something and finding beauty underneath. Kind of like the saying "Don't judge a book by its cover" or "beauty is only skin deep". Even with people we always say it's the inside that really counts right? Same thing applies here I do believe.

How to Manifest Anything You Want or Desire
You may be familiar with manifestation, or the laws of attraction. After all, the process was the focus of a 2006 bestselling book, The Secret which sold more than 30 million copies—and it's something that thought leaders, including Deepak Chopra, Eckhart Tolle, Gabrielle Bernstein, Iyanla Vanzant and Oprah have spoken about. (For the record, they all agree that you really can manifest things.)

The Science Behind Healthy Relationships
When it comes to relationships, most of us are winging it. We’re exhilarated by the early stages of love, but as we move onto the general grind of everyday life, personal baggage starts to creep in and we can find ourselves floundering in the face of hurt feelings, emotional withdrawal, escalating conflict, insufficient coping techniques and just plain boredom. There’s no denying it: making and keeping happy and healthy relationships is hard.

Success Does Not Have To Mean Money, Fame And Glory
What is Success? Success is the condition or state of achieving a defined set of expectations. It can also be viewed as the antithesis of failure. The criteria for success are relative to an individual's personal perspective or opinion and can vary greatly from a given social context or perception. Success is also the end result of one's efforts, and not just the product of one's endeavors. Achieving success is part skill, part knowledge, and a whole lot of patience.

3 Goal-Setting Tips I *Didn’t* Learn from Star Wars
I haven’t watched The Mandorlian, ok? Neither the first or second season. I don’t have Disney+. And I certainly didn’t purchase Disney+ with the sole intention of watching The Mandalorian. I have better things to do with my time, ok? So just accept that at face value and move on. That said, though I haven’t watched The Mandalorian and have no plans to, one could assume that a clear story arc is visible. Not that I would ever care about such things, but for sake of argument, let’s just say that I did.

Expectations Lead To Disappointment
How does it make you feel when you believed that your partner would call you this evening, yet they never did? How does it make you feel when you believed you would receive a job promotion, but you didn't, and it was instead handed to another one of your work colleagues? How does it make you feel when you go to have a nice hot shower, only to find that there is no hot water at all? How does it make you feel when you go to the grocery store, and then get stuck in a long customer line at the checkout? I could go on and on with so many different scenarios, because they all involve expectations, and expectations are something all too common for us, which is not a good thing. What emotions and feelings do you get from the above sort of scenarios though, when you are involved in such situations? Disappointment? Anger? Hurt? Sadness? Rejection? Frustration? One thing is for sure, they are not exactly emotions of great joy, jubilation, and happiness! But why do we feel this way? Is it really that bad that our partner didn't call this evening? Perhaps they were busy, they were detained, or they had another engagement to attend to. Does it truly mean they don't love us, or are we just being a bit precious? Is it really that bad that we missed out on a job promotion that we believed we were a certainty to get, when there just might be something even better that comes up in the near future for us anyway? Is it really that bad to have to wait in line for a few minutes at a grocery store, because the staff are overwhelmed with an influx of customers? Sure, these things may be a little inconvenient and disappointing, but they're not the end of the world. The problem is though, because we set expectations for so many things, these feelings of disappointment, inconvenience, anger, frustration, hurt, sadness, rejection, etc begin to compound. With an ongoing barrage of negative emotions, we start to find ourselves living in constant unhappiness. Is that really living?

Worthwhile Goals
We know that fear, doubt, and laziness are three of the key factors behind why most people fail to achieve their goals in life, and succumb to failure as a result, but none of these three are actually the biggest factor. Try and work this one out; the biggest reason behind why people fail to achieve their goals in life, is because of the goals themselves. No, it's not the goal's fault why people fail to succeed. No, it's not because the goals are unrealistic or unreachable. The reason is the goals are simply not attractive or important enough. When we commence the journey towards achieving a goal, we start off all motivated, inspired, and excited. Here we are, about to start doing something for ourselves, and be working towards something that will bring us great satisfaction, happiness, and success, but how is it that we go from being all motivated, excited, and inspired, to just throwing in the towel, and quitting the journey? For anyone who has ever embarked on the journey to achieving a goal, you would well know that it's far from an easy experience. I think, prior to starting such a journey, most of us underestimate just how tough and challenging it can really be. We envisage that we will begin to see results within a few days, a few weeks, or maybe a few months perhaps, and yet, these results fail to eventuate in line with our expectations. For those who have persevered long enough to reach even the 12 month point in that journey, you would likely had felt that success still seemed like a long way off. All that we seem to encounter on this journey is failure, setbacks, rejection, opposition, and criticism. With all these negative results, it's only natural to become discouraged, frustrated, upset, angry, and demotivated. All the hard work, time, and effort that we are applying to creating this success, it feels like it is all being wasted. So we reach a point on this journey where we confront a choice. We either need to keep suffering through these adversities, setbacks, failures, and challenges, or we can just go back to the less stressful and less demanding way of life we had prior to starting this journey. Each time we continue persevering, and we encounter another negative result, we face the same question.

I have to admit that it was challenging for me to even think of a bedtime story that was read to me; my home wasn’t a place where bedtime stories were told and shared, neither for tradition nor for entertainment. Growing up for me was a completely different story then the other homes everyone grows up in.

Visionary mind – Vital for success
A vision is a mental image of the outcome you want to accomplish, one that is so clear and compelling that it will aid in making that outcome a reality. A vision isn't just a wish, a dream, or a hope. It's a depiction of real-world outcomes from real-world efforts. It arrives from the future and enlivens and educates the present. Visioning is the most effective technique for assisting businesses and people in achieving their goals.
