Sometimes it’s better to have nobody at all, than to have someone that is only there for you half the time.

In this video, respected Zen master, Thich Nhat Hanh, discusses the Buddhist Laws of Nature, otherwise known as Dharma, and how applying these ancient principles awakens the heart.
Start watching the video from 2:35 minutes to hear him discuss the different benefits of mindful breathing, how we can introduce it into our lives – and why this simple technique consciously connects the desires of the heart, with the actions we take in our everyday lives.

Believe in yourself even when no one else does. If someone tells you that you can’t do it, prove them wrong.

I
Have Learned
So much from God
That I can no longer
Call Myself
A Christian, a Hindu, a Muslim,
a Buddhist, a Jew.
The Truth has shared so much of Itself
With me
That I can no longer call myself
A man, a woman, an angel,
Or even a pure
Soul.
Love has
Befriended Hafiz so completely
It has turned to ash
And freed
Me
Of every concept and image
my mind has ever known.

“When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamedyourself to be.” ― Patanjali

The brand is a story. But it’s a story about you, not about the brand. http://bit.ly/14pihfb
This year, I completed my taxes on March 15, not April 15 as I have done every year in the past. I felt tremendous peace this past weekend as I spent the weekend visiting with my parents; I was able to be mindful and present with them while my sister, who had waited until the last minute frantically scurried around looking for her husband’s information and fearing she owed until the last minute when she broke through into the black…
In the meantime, because of poor planning we received a rather large return that was banked a few weeks ago; most of it will go to necessities but we did treat ourselves to a new television for our room and a pair of Samsung Note 2’s. I’ve been using mine for almost two weeks now.
Point? There are rewards for working ahead, for not procrastinating. Next year, I plan to finish even earlier! If you’re one of those like I was — frantically looking for a place to drop your return before midnight — I feel your pain, but it is self-inflicted. Make a note now to do something different next year!
In closing, here are some lessons on the psychology of taxes from Psychology Today: It's Tax Time | Psychology Today.

Why prefer Coke over Pepsi or GE over Samsung or Ford over Chevy?
In markets that aren’t natural monopolies or where there are clear, agreed-upon metrics, how do we decide?
Yes, every brand has a story—that’s how it goes from being a logo and a name to a brand. The story includes expectations and history and promises and social cues and emotions. The story makes us say we "love Google" or "love Harley"… but what do we really love?
We love ourselves.
We love the memory we have of how that brand made us feel once. We love that it reminds us of our mom, or growing up, or our first kiss. We support a charity or a soccer team or a perfume because it gives us a chance to love something about ourselves.
We can’t easily explain this, even to ourselves. We can’t easily acknowledge the narcissism and the nostalgia that drives so many of the apparently rational decisions we make every day. But that doesn’t mean that they’re not at work.
More than ever, we express ourselves with what we buy and how we use what we buy. Extensions of our personality, totems of our selves, reminders of who we are or would like to be.
Great marketers don’t make stuff. They make meaning.

Think about that as you plan your next steps in social media…

The world is populated by billions of dreamers who aren’t aware that people are living in their own world, dreaming their own dream. From the point of view of the main character, which is their only point of view, everything is all about them.
