Better Sex in the Missionary Position


By John Dugan

Even when the sex is great, guys are always in search of ways to have even better sex. As long as they're appropriately appreciative of the good sex they are already having, there's nothing wrong with keeping an eye out for better sex tips as well. Some tips are easy, such as practicing prime penis care so that his equipment is always in the best possible shape for sex workout. Other times a guy may explore outrageous new sex positions, and that can often be a profitable road to take. But sometimes there are some closer-to-home options to take - such as upping his game on the good old everyday missionary position.

The reliable missionary

For most people, the missionary position, generally defined as a woman lying down and a man lying on top of her or raising his torso above her as he inserts his penis, is the old stand-by position - and very likely the one they employed when they first lost their virginity.

And there are a lot of things for guys to like about the missionary position. For example, it's simple and doesn't usually involve a lot of moves that force him to twist around. It keeps him face to face with his partner. If he pushes himself up, it allows him to show off how his work on his biceps is paying off.

But because it is so often used and so familiar, it can be easy to fall into a rut where this particular position is concerned. So for better sex, it pays to think of ways to liven up the old stand-by.

Getting better sex from the position

And what are some ways to enliven the old missionary? These tips can help.

- Move up a bit. After successfully entering the vagina, a guy can move his torso forward a bit, placing his hips slightly higher than the woman's. This places the pubic bone in a position to grind pleasingly against a portion of the female anatomy that is particularly prone to pleasure. It may take a little experimenting to get the positioning just right - but many women think it's definitely worth it.

- Employ a press. After penetration, the male should move his legs outside the female's, and the female should clamp her legs tight together. This vise-like action can provide strong new sensations to the penis and the vagina during thrusting.

- Go the pillow route. If a partner would like deeper penetration, this can be achieved with just a little assistance from a pillow. Place it under her posterior, thereby raising her hips higher and creating a new angle for penetration which generally allows the penis to thrust deeper into the vagina.

- Try a new location. Plain old missionary can lead to even better sex when it's employed in a new setting. If a couple always has sex in their bed, try it on the floor (with sufficient carpeting or padding for comfort). Or take it to a new room altogether and see what sex on the sofa, in the kitchen, or in the laundry room is like. Those with a high enough privacy fence might even want to take things into the backyard. But enjoying sex in a different location can make it a new experience.

There are many other ways to change up the missionary position n for better sex, but whatever option a guy pursues will work out better if his penis is in its best possible shape. One way to help maintain good penis health is by daily using a superior    penis health cr�me (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin). A really superb cr�me will feature an ingredient known as L-carnitine. This has neuroprotective benefits and can be helpful in maintaining appropriate penis sensitivity, which can be diminished from rough sex. The cr�me should also include vitamin C, which is a key component in collagen, giving penis skin its tone and elasticity.

Physiology of an Erection: The Brain-Penis Connection


By John Dugan

It's kind of amazing how body parts that are nowhere near the penis can play an important role in the physiology of an erection. For example, an erect penis doesn't come about simply because an attractive person strokes it (although that also is part of the process). Instead, a tiny little organ called the hypothalamus can play a big part in turning a soft member into a healthily erect penis at the appropriate time.

A brain part

The hypothalamus is a small part of the brain that plays a big role. It's only about as big as a pearl, but as men should know by now, size isn't everything. It's located beneath a larger section of the brain known as the thalamus, and just a little above the pituitary gland. It does a lot of communicating with the pituitary glands, acting as a kind of gatekeeper that tells the pituitary when to release certain hormones and how much of them to release. For example, when stress levels are high, it tells the pituitary to get busy and help decrease the stress.

This little guy also plays a role in controlling hunger, sleep patterns, fatigue, temperature and circadian rhythms.

And, as stated before, it also has an effect on the penis.

The erect penis connection

There are many neurons in the hypothalamus. Some of these connect to other parts of the body, including the hippocampus and the medulla oblongata (two other regions of the brain) and the spinal cord. Sometimes, these neurons come in contact with something called dopamine, which is a chemical popularly associated with pleasure.

When the dopamine hits these neurons, they send a message to these other body parts. When the dopamine has been released because of some signal which is sexual in nature, the hypothalamus uses these other body parts, including the spinal column, to communicate with the penis. His message is usually pretty clear: "Wake up! There's some action going on here that you don't want to miss out on!"" And that sets in motion the various other factors that are needed to bring about an erect penis - and the fun that can result from that state.

The hypothalamus also plays other important roles in erect penis matters., For example, it helps control the release of what is called gonadotropin-releasing hormone, which is used during puberty to bring about sexual maturation.

Hypothalamus problems

So if a man has problems with his hypothalamus, it can cause some issues with penile function. Fortunately, hypothalamus disorders are not extremely common. Most of the time, they come about from a traumatic brain injury.

But sometimes, the hypothalamus may be damaged in other ways. For example, malnutrition over an extended period of time can damage the organ, as can exposure to radiation or the presence of a tumor in the area.

Identifying a hypothalamus disorder can be challenging (in the absence of an obvious brain injury), so diagnosis may take some extended time. Although problems in obtaining an erect penis can be a sign, erectile dysfunction can also be a sign of many other conditions.

The hypothalamus definitely plays a role in successfully achieving an erect penis. Beyond its erect-ability, the penis is also judged by its overall health, so daily application of a first rate    penis health creme (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) is urged. The best cremes contains both L-arginine and L-carnitine. The former is an amino acid which helps produce nitric oxide; this in turn helps penile blood vessels expand to accommodate increased blood flow. The latter is a neuroprotective ingredient which can help maintain penis sensation in the face of rough, aggressive use.

Team Spirit - What Causes It?


By Stephen Russell-Lacy

Watching the matches in the FIFA world cup, I notice that the national line-ups apparently vary as to team spirit. You might wonder why this matters. Why is team spirit important? What brings it about? And what hinders it?

Sweden's team spirit
After eliminating very good teams, Holland and Italy in qualifying, Sweden played their part, in sending defending champions Germany home early, by topping Group F. They lack individual talented players, but as a team with a collective spirit they've got heart and stand up to the challenge. They do well through determination and organisation.

"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." (Helen Keller, deaf/blind political activist)

In keeping with his no-frills squad, the manager had not picked Sweden's all-time top scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The player had angered many of his former fans with what were seen as characteristically self-obsessed comments.

"As a team, we play as a collective, all the players together. With Zlatan, as a person, as a player, he's an individualist, and the play goes around him. Instead, now, we play more the team all together." (goalkeeper, Karl-Johan Johnsson).

Every single player has bought into the idea of working hard for each other and having fun together as a bigger group outside the pitch.

Leicester City's team spirit
Winning the English Premier league, Leicester City is another football team whose performance has exceeded what might have been expected from the sum of its parts.

Leicester had some good players, but looking at the whole squad and comparing it to the so-called "top" clubs, it's easy to see why they were such long shots to lift the title.

"You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don't play together, the club won't be worth a dime." - (Babe Ruth, baseball player)

Pundits spotted the players' sense of team identity as a crucial factor in their success. The squad knew the manager would be there the following season. He persisted with most of the first team players he inherited. This continuity built on the legacy of the club, another cornerstone of a strong team identity.

Team spirit was also helped by the players viewing the objective of the club (i.e. avoid relegation) as one they were capable of achieving. So there was no fear of failure.

Many technical sides defend by playing lots of safe passes and so not letting the opposition have the ball. However, possession makes for a poor predictor of team performance. City were not afraid to play three misplaced passes if the forth move led to a goal. Team members felt positive and proud to be part of a group playing a successful fast-paced counter-attacking brand of football.

Other football teams
Boys playing football need to learn to pass the ball unselfishly rather than dribble past opponent after opponent until they lose the ball. They need to be a team player and not purely an individualist. Some flair adult players have been encouraged to succeed at the expense of collaboration when it is needed.

Professional football squads in England include highly rated players from other countries. These tend to have dissimilar languages, cultures, values and problem-solving approaches to difficulties. This can hamper the growth of team spirit.

Most football managers realise that team spirit can be hindered by voicing criticism of players in public. However leaders vary in their team building skills.

Trade Unions
Without any emerging team spirit within a trades union, industrial disputes would fail. Unity is strength. Members need to identity with the cause and trust each other to sacrifice short-term income. Then they have a chance to negotiate from strength and gain better working conditions and pay in the future.

Personal services
Worker's morale is important in all walks of life. For example in many organisations dealing with human troubles and personal change - like educational, health and social services, or those to do with spirituality - team spirit can be fragile when one is faced with difficult-to-succeed-with-clients.

Many of these organisations use teams of workers with different types of professional training who may not see eye to eye. Dealing with complex and highly personal matters raises matters of deep principle. This can mean that people can be unwilling to modify how they approach things, leading to a degree of inflexibility. Leaders can help by team building encouraging the giving and receiving of support, communication and sharing. Without this, mixed groups tend to show disharmony as well as collaboration.

"Teamwork begins by building trust. And the only way to do that is to overcome our need for invulnerability." (Patrick Lencioni, business management writer)

Unpaid volunteers tend to want to carry out their responsibilities on their own terms. With volunteers doing only short hours, team spirit suffers if members have little opportunity all to meet together to resolve different viewpoints.

Heavenly community spirit
When we make friends, we tend to do so with people who share our interests and values. With them we often feel most at home and free to be ourselves. It may be hard to imagine such a sphere where community spirit prevails. Emanuel Swedenborg painted such a picture of heavenly community. In such a scenario there are no rows about how things get done. No egos wanting their own way. People joining together in the right spirit. Only wanting what is best for each other and for the team and community as a whole.

"None of us, including me, ever do great things. But we can all do small things, with great love, and together we can do something wonderful." (Mother Teresa, Roman Catholic nun)

This Is Why You Are Addicted To Your Thoughts Without Knowing It


By Tony Fahkry

Regurgitated Thoughts

Who would you be without your thoughts?

Who is the person you call "I" reading these words right now?

Ponder these questions while I give you an insight into something I experienced whilst meditating some years ago. One evening, towards the end of a meditation session I experienced a brief episode of no thoughts. It scared me, though I recognises my thoughts once more in the next instance. It was as though I had gone off-line for a short period of time. What frightened me most about the experience was the notion I didn't exist. If there is no experience of thoughts, who am I? My thoughts confirm my existence and so I felt at ease when I began to experience them once more.

We are addicted to thoughts without realising it. I mean that in the kindest way. Our experience of thoughts confirms our presence within the fabric of reality. It was the French philosopher Ren� Descartes who once proclaimed: "I think, therefore I am." This is a persuasive declaration that suggests our thoughts give rise to our humanity and experience of reality. In a similar vein, psychologist and author Loch Kelly confirms our compulsive addiction to thoughts when he writes in Shift into Freedom: The Science and Practice of Open-Hearted Awareness: "The habit of continually looking to thoughts for satisfaction, even positive thoughts, creates a similar kind of addiction."

From the moment we're born until our passing, we process anywhere between 60,000 to 80,000 thoughts a day. Many of those are regurgitated from the previous day; rarely do we think anything new. For example, when was the last time you had an original thought or were moved by a powerful insight? Was it days, weeks or months? We are accustomed to thinking the same thoughts day in day out and wonder why we live monotonous lives. It was the founder of Hay House, the late Louise Hay who once wrote: "You are not a helpless victim of your own thoughts, but rather a master of your mind."

If we were to observe our thoughts more often, we would notice they are habitual and dictated by past conditioning, our level of awareness and perception of the world. This explains why we are addicted to thoughts because we trust them to be true. I'm not suggesting this is bad, however, our addiction to thinking can lead us astray and cause stress if we don't make time to disconnect from our thoughts.

Loch Kelly says we can change our addiction to automatic thoughts by observing them instead of becoming invested in them: "Paying attention to automatic thoughts is simply a habit we can change. When you shift into awareness-based knowing, automatic thinking moves into the background, and you experience true peace of mind."

Break The Addiction To Thoughts

Our thoughts are our best friend and our worst enemy. They come and go from our mind and even though they are impermanent, it often feels like they have taken up residency in our mind like squatters refusing to leave. No matter how hard you try to remove negative thoughts, they keep showing up. What if it isn't necessary to drive them away, but see them as the sum of the thinking process?

What I mean is, negative thoughts is a label we assign to disempowering thoughts we don't like. I would argue that they can be useful and our task is to integrate them into the wholeness of our being instead of trying to banish them. Thoughts are addictive when we cannot be alone in silence for more than five minutes. This is the feedback I've receive over many years from clients who are stressed. When I invite them to find five minutes a day to meditate, they'd rather have a surgical procedure performed than be alone with their thoughts.

Many people flee from the voices in their head by being preoccupied with activities that distract them from being alone. This is apparent whether through: socialising, gossiping, checking social media, consuming alcohol or addictive foods. These are distractions that prevent us coming home to the quiet stillness of our core self. It needn't be that way. It is possible to reclaim your thoughts and not be consumed by them. However, it takes practice and diligence to see past the narrative they promote while recognising you are not your thoughts but one who experiences them.

Thoughts will always have a narrative to persuade us of something that is wrong in the world. We are naturally drawn to this and create a dialogue which later forms our character. These events start when we follow the trail of thoughts down a slippery slope.

To break our addiction to thoughts, we must first realise their impermanent nature. This helps us to discern the transient nature of thoughts and that we needn't bind ourselves to them. Rather, we see them as a mental occurrence that come and go like ocean waves crashing into the shoreline. When we let go of our addiction to thoughts, we realise a powerful undercurrent beneath them, in the form of an expansive love and that my dear friends is who we really are.

In Negotiations, Be On The Alert For Setup Questions - Negotiation Tip of the Week


By Greg Williams

"I can't believe he asked me when I stopped beating my wife. I've never beaten my wife; I love her too much to do that! Those were the dejected words spoken by a man that was in the throes of a messy divorce proceeding to the question posed by the lawyer of his soon to be ex-wife.

Are you aware of how and why setup questions are designed to motivate you to a particular thought or action? In negotiations, you should be on the alert for setup questions.

A setup question (e.g. Most people would be horrified if that happened to them, right?) is used to position someone's response as measured against what is viewed as being normal by others; it can also be used to alter the thought process of an individual.

The challenge to the responder is, if he answers contrary to the norm, he appears to be outside of that norm. That makes him appear to be abnormal. That's a position that most people attempt to avoid, especially when such is exposed to others. The perception of abnormality can position someone as, he's not like the rest of us, which can place that person in a squeamish position. It's another way to apply a sense of unseen but felt leverage upon him.

When this tactic is used to alter someone's thought process, it can be even more devastating, due to the attack on that person's mental psyche. Thus, it can also be used to take someone off the offense and put them on the defense.

This tactic becomes more burdensome to the recipient of this ploy when used by someone that's an aggressive or bully type of negotiator. The reason being, when confronted by an aggressive negotiator, more than likely, you're already experiencing a heightened sense of anxiety. That may be in the form of just being more aware of your negotiation environment. The point is, you're not relaxed, you're on edge. That will prohibit your normal thought process from occurring which could lead to making errant decisions.

To recount, in all of your negotiations, be aware that setup questions may be posed at different times and for multiple purposes. They can be used:

For the purpose of altering your mental state. Once your mental state is altered, you may be more susceptible to falling into a defense that simply keeps you off the offense.
For positioning purposes, a setup question may be used to have you viewed in an unflattering manner, so as to marginalize the perception that others have of you and to disallow them from having empathy to your point or position.
To alter one's mind, such questions may also be used in an attempt to make you forget, defuse, or confuse the point you were attempting to make.

The more alert you are to the possibility of setup questions being used in your negotiations, and how they might be used, the better prepared you'll be at defending yourself against them. Doing so will give you an advantage in the negotiation... and everything will be right with the world.

Remember, you're always negotiating!

What Ways Can Make Your Brand Stand Out?


By Jon Allo

Whether you're running a large or small business, one of the things that can effects your success is getting your brand and voice right. If you're in a sector that's very competitive, it's vital that you know how to make your brand stand out and what you can do in order to get the most from your advertising and marketing, consumers and business in general.

Appeal To People's Feelings

People like it when they feel they can relate to somebody or something. This means showing the human side of your brand. If you're a one-person business then that might mean showing your personality. If you're a bigger organization, you can still add emotion and character to what you do.

Tell An Interesting Story

To make your customers more interested and engaged in your business, tell them an interesting story. It could be something to which people can easily relate, or you might want to tell a story that really pulls at the heartstrings and makes your brand and voice memorable. Despite the fact that people might not think of you as the most successful company in the world, they'll be able to remember you, and that can often be much more important

What Are The Strengths of Your Business?

Think about the strong points lie within your business. For instance, you might not sell the lowest priced type of your product or service when compared to your competitors, but perhaps you offer the best support to your customers. Or maybe you really shine in explaining things in a simple and easy-to-understand way. No matter what your strengths are, use them in your branding.

Product Differentiation

A strong brand can quickly be seen as distinctive from its competition. Know where to be competitive, whether or not it's on cost, support, or some other key elements. Be very clear on precisely what advantages your business provides over other businesses and communicate these elements in your marketing messages.

Be Consistent

You want your audience to see to your brand across multiple channels. Your brand needs to deliver them with the same basic message and experience. If your brand is different on social media than it is in your email messages, the end result is confusion. Confusion drives people away. That's not your objective. Consistency builds brands.

Show Your Passion

The joy and focus that your passion brings your product and service will support your business during both bad and good times. Your passion will also enable you and your team to provide top-notch customer care and continued product and service development.

Branding is important for small businesses as well as large companies. If you have a limited budget, smart branding is perhaps the most inexpensive business tool you can create.

A Different Style of Leadership, Living and Learning


By William T Batten

Shamanism is a broad term. It describes religions from Australia to America and everywhere in between. These religions are incredibly diverse, each with its own unique rituals and cultural elements.

They have a lot in common, too. The spiritual leaders have deep connections to nature, their community and themselves.

These people live off the land without much technology. If they have a problem, they need to solve it. They need to make sense of a vast, confusing and challenging world.

It takes a lot of strength to survive without civilisation. Having technology - whether that's spears or something more advanced - isn't enough. Being able to communicate, strategise and plan isn't enough.

You need to learn to think like nature.

Animals act on instincts. This gives them the advantage of always having a plan. These instincts tend to work, otherwise they'd be expunged from the gene pool. They are quick, effective and reliable.

Human-level intelligence may be slow and costly. It takes decades for a baby to become an adult. There's always the risk that they'll learn the wrong thing.

But it does have one major advantage.

It allows you to steal the best instincts from the animal kingdom (and develop new ones).

There's a quirk with humans where we grow our minds through our clothing. We civilised folk are not above this instinct. This is why young kinds sneak into their parents' wardrobes and play dress up. It's why people feel more confident in a business suit, military uniform or lab coat. Clothes reflect our psyches, and vice versa.

Shamans take this to the next level. They wear costumes of predators and prey. Then they work themselves into a frenzied altered state. In this state, the boundaries between skin and clothing melt.

They learn to think like the animal they wear.

If you think I'm exaggerating, then I have good news: you have so much more to gain from meditation. If you've never seen the world from a wolf's perspective - or even a tree's or a cloud's - then you have more to learn.

Shamans use meditation to tap into their own power. They need the flexibility to see the correct course of action. They need the charisma to lead the people through hard times. When disaster strikes, they need to provide the way forwards.

When I talk about mind training, this is the model I have in mind. It's not just about releasing anxiety. It's about peering into the jungle - concrete or otherwise - and seeing the patterns, hum and rhythms of nature.

I mentioned the value of connecting with nature, your community and yourself.

Strengthening any one of these bolsters the others. So let me help you by pointing to a tribe. We use meditation to sharpen our minds and become stronger.

Joining is quick, is easy and costs you nothing. See what I mean here:

Reasons Why USB-C Is Indispensable for Your Brand New MacBook


By Rajib KR Saha

You might have noticed something strange in the latest smartphones, tablets and even laptops. The biggest change is the familiar rectangular Type-A USB ports are missing, and now there are small oblong connectors. This welcomes to the world of USB-C era of business computing.

While majority of the flagship iPads and iPhones comes with Apple's most proprietary Lightning connector, USB- C is now have become part and parcel of most of the devices like MacBook, phones, tablets and lot more. Let's have a peep into the concept of USB-C before dealing with the reasons why it is indispensable for a new MacBook.

Redefining Speed - USB-C

USB Type-C, also known as USB-C, is a brand new connector for transferring data as well as the power to and from computing devices. The plug of the connector is symmetrical and thus one can insert the same either way. This alone feature makes it the biggest hit among the users, but at the same time, it also has many other new technologies.

Let's now plunge into the reasons!

• Relatively Small and Compact

The availability of USB Type-C is a new connector standard that is relatively small. The best thing is that this latest device is supposed to be one-third in height and half of the width for any standard USB Type A connector. USB-C for MacBooks is indeed one of the best options as this is a small single connector and on the top of that users can use it across any given devices.

• Terribly Fast

The ports of MacBook Pro are actually fast. The revolutionary ports are capable of transmitting data utilizing the super-fast speeds of the USB protocol up to 10 gigabits per second. On the other side, using USB-C with Thunderbolt 3 support built-in peripherals will enable users to enjoy a blistering speed up to 40Gbps.

• MacBook Works as a Battery

Users of new MacBook series can use USB-C to power the battery of other computer having arrangements for USB Type-C. The good thing is that one can power as well as use a peripheral hard drive even without connecting the external drive into power.

Top 5 Anti-Inflammatory Foods (Best List)


By Erin M

One of the most overlooked causes to some of the most common diseases plaguing our society today is inflammation. Here are the top recommended Anti-Inflammatory Foods List and Anti-Inflammatory Diet.

When we pour through the statistics, we can see that high blood pressure, asthma, heart disease, and arthritis all have one cause in common and that is inflammation.

The good news is inflammation can be managed simply by making a few changes to your diet. In this article we will look at the most highly recommended anti-inflammatory foods and how they can be used to treat and even prevent diseases.

The Essentials. Let's start off by looking at what makes anti-inflammatory foods effective and how this can be used to your advantage.

Anti-inflammatory foods can mostly be found in an old-school diet of fresh fruits and vegetables, with little to no red meat. Mainly, we are going to look for these three characteristics when considering what foods are a good match:

An abundance of Omega-3
High in antioxidants
Plenty of essential fatty acids

In essence, this is the Mediterranean diet pioneered by our Greek counterparts. This healing diet features many vegetables, wild fruits, white meat, and seeds with lots of omega-3.

One of the most essential elements to fighting inflammation is maintaining a proper balance between potassium- and sodium-rich foods.

Both of these minerals work together to clean our body and keep toxins from building up. Now let's look at some of the anti-inflammatory diet essentials that we can find at any local grocers.

Bok Choy is one of the most common superfoods.

Bok Choy has recently gained a lot of popularity for its high amount of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Of these, the most notable is something called hydroxycinnamic acids which are powerful antioxidants that will certainly help with inflammation.

Bok Choy is a very robust and versatile vegetable that can go into any veggie dish, making it a staple in the anti-inflammatory diet.

Celery and Celery Seeds

The benefits of eating celery are plentiful.

Celery's anti-inflammatory abilities have proven to help improve blood pressure, lower cholesterol levels, and even prevent heart disease.

Celery seeds, can be found in many forms, also possess anti-inflammatory abilities as well as the added benefit of helping to fight off bacterial infections. In addition, celery is an excellent healthy source for potassium which our bodies require to flush out toxins.

Blueberries are almost magical in their own right.

A diet rich with blueberries can have many health benefits from improved vision to slower cognitive decline and sharper motor skills.

The antioxidant responsible for blueberry's anti-inflammatory benefits is quercetin, which is a substance found in fresh foods that helps to prevent inflammation and even helps to fight cancer. Benefits don't stop there, one cup of blueberries can contain up to a quarter of your daily source of Vitamins K and C.

Add blueberries to your smoothies or drinks daily.

Salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 and fatty acids.

Several studies have shown that omega-3 fatty acids are essential in lowering the risk of a chronic illness cause by inflammation such as heart disease and arthritis.

In humans, omega-3 is found in the brain and is critical for the health and cognitive function of our brains.

Flaxseeds are one of the most antioxidant packed foods on this list.

Benefits of this wonderful super food include anti-aging and improved hormone balance.

Flaxseeds are primarily powered by a phytonutrient called Lignans that provide many antioxidant benefits. To get the most out of this powerful anti-inflammatory food, make sure to grind up the seeds. This is so your body can extract the most nutrients.

A Deer In Headlights


By Max Narelik

Headlights are probably the most fundamental part of a car, right next to wheels and engines. Since the first vehicle pumped out by Karl Benz, all the way to today, all cars have had headlights. But gone are the days of reflective halogen headlights. Now, thanks to increasingly advanced technological innovations, the market has become flooded with all new types of headlights, from High Intensity Discharge lamps, otherwise known as HID, to LED headlights, and now Laser lights, as seen on the very newest Audi's, BMW's and even Mercedes.
Let me walk you through the bewildering array of headlights, outlining the pros and cons of each, so I can help you justify which one best suits your driving needs.

HALOGEN
Ah, the good old fashioned, trusty Halogen headlight. It's been a familiar sight on a lot of cars, both old and new. I can list ten makes and models that still use halogens in their vehicles, just off the top of my head. And there's a good reason why it's still used, even in this day and age of high tech lighting sources. It's cheap. Halogens on average cost less than HID bulbs, both in replacement and repair. They also provide some of the best high beam length of any other light source, making them a preferred bulb for those who live out in the country. Now, the cons. Halogens may have great high beam ability, but their low beams are particularly poor, especially when compared to newer types of headlights. The lighting pattern of halogens are all scattered, and are sometimes rarely focused onto the road, meaning they often loose focus on what they are supposed to be illuminating. Notice with HID bulbs, how they often have strong cut offs, instead of shining the light all over the place. The low beams also have incredibly low illumination range, making them a real trouble in dark areas of the state.

HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE (HID)
Now don't get me wrong. I love all headlights equally. I pick no favourites... but with that said however, if I had to pick a favourite, it would be HID headlights. It might not be your favourite (I think you're wrong, but hey, free country) but I definitely love HID's. These recently developed headlights were once the stuff of uber-high end German vehicles. As an example, the very first HID headlights fitted to a mainstream vehicle was the $300,000AUD BMW 750il, and even then it was an optional extra! Soon, these headlights started to fall down into more mainstream, affordable cars, such as the Toyota Camry, Honda Civic, you name it. Many manufacturers hold preference for HID lights as they often take up less space than normal halogens, provide better range and visibility at night, and focuses the light source onto the road, without excessive interference or light scatter. Their minimal space also allows car designers more flexibility with the contours and shapes of the vehicle. This lights are also praised by other drivers, who find that the more road focused beam means that they have less people blinding them at night. These bulbs are also the first port of call with adaptive cornering headlights, the lights that turn when you turn the steering wheel. Since the beams are so focused, and the housing being incredibly small, it has allowed for many vehicle to be equipped with cornering headlights. HID's are not without their issues though. Firstly, they are pricey to repair. Despite being more energy efficient and drawing less power, they are typically more expensive and difficult to replace or undertake a bulb change. Secondly, they are known for their less than perfect high beam quality, with the light being somewhat dulled and restricted.

Before I move onto the next form of Headlight, a quick note. Whilst many may see a HID unit, it's worth mentioning that they come in two different bulbs. One, primarily used in a lot of vehicles today, is Bi-Xenon HID bulbs. These bulbs contain an industry standard of 4300K lighting, but many of the aforementioned affordable vehicles (Toyota Camry and Honda Civic) contain only Halogen HID bulbs. Bi-Xenons are best preferred, since their lighting source best matches natural daylight colour, or even better, a bright white colour.

LED
Just like Uber high end luxo-barges of the nineties, LED headlights have been seen as only a feature on the very highest end German vehicles. The first vehicle to offer it was the Lexus LS600hL, before being introduced on the flagship Audi A8 and the BMW 7 Series, and now, it's made it's way down to even the most affordable cars, such as the Honda Accord, Subaru Liberty and Toyota CH-R. LED headlights, while having fantastic range, for both low and high beam, are undoubtedly expensive to replace and repair. However, with the market becoming more and more diluted with LED light manufacturers, it will soon become a standard feature on many cars.

LASER HEADLIGHTS
It's Got Frickin' Lasers!
Unfortunately, if you were hoping to live out your James Bond super villain fantasy, you'll have to keep looking elsewhere. These are not lasers that can shoot and destroy the idiot driving in the outside lane but is doing 10 km's under the limit. Laser technology has been developed for headlight use to provide greater, brighter and longer reach. While they are a relatively new development in the car industry, they are already available on the highest model offerings from Audi's, BMW's, Mercedes Benz's and other high end luxury car manufacturers. It isn't hard to see why laser headlights are becoming popular. Their range helps extend visibility by up to 600 metres, and have shown to increase braking time by up to 5 seconds, which is an incredible amount. While these frickin' lasers are gaining popularity, it is worth mentioning that they are incredibly complex pieces of technology, requiring vast amounts of time and effort to be put into the manufacturing of them. Laser headlights are different from LED's, HID's and Halogens, as they generate more heat, meaning they require special cooling fans to keep them at optimal temperature. Since they are difficult to manufacture, then you should expect a hefty repair bill if they do decide to conk it. While the theory of Laser Headlights sounds incredible, it'll be quite a while before we see it trickle down to more mainstream vehicles.

Is Business Signage A Taxable Write-Off?


By Max Narelik

That's right! It's that time of year again. Happy EOFY's to all the business' out there. This time of year has made me decide to write up a helpful little article on tax deductions for vehicle signage. And yes, you can rejoice! Vehicle signage can be written off on your taxes. So don't forget to run off to your accountant, or if you do your own taxes, then take note. As all small business owners are aware of, a lot of things can be written off on taxes, such as fuel, tolls and other vehicle related expenses. But, little did you know, that your advertising can be used as a tax write off! That's right, the little stickers you had attached onto your work vehicle can be a massive benefit to you come tax time. Since the costs are placed as a burden on your business, they can be written off as a business expense. But, there are some limitations. I'll go through some of the requirements needed to write off your stylish signage from your taxes, keeping the money in your pocket and out of the greedy government.

1) Don't pay cash
I think it goes without saying that paying cash will never give you proof of purchase. Especially with us, where we are not able to provide people with receipts if they handed over cash payment for jobs. So you may ask yourself, why would people pay in cash for something they can write off if they have proof of purchase? Well, many people opt to avoid the 1.1% surcharge we, regretfully, have to apply onto any and all cash payments. Because of this surcharge, business prefer to hand in cash, but this is often very rare, and vehicle owners know that a proof of purchase will help them recoup the money that they spent on getting vinyl signage attached to their vehicles.

2) Pay with a card!
Building on from the first requirement, many small business' owners encourage the use of cards and credit cards when making business related purchases, and even everyday purchases, as stuff that can be used on a relative basis can be turned into a great way to earn a healthy tax back cheque, such as coffee, or even food. These are a great way of adding up your receipts, and ensuring that you have a healthy collection of 'work expenses' that can be claimed back.

3) Keep Those Receipts
We've all seen that pile of receipts people keep. Whether they were stacked neatly, alphabetically and/or numerically, or maybe they were just chucked in the back of your desk, or car, or filing cabinet. These receipts are the key to ensuring your guaranteed spot on the government's tax back list. And there's even more good news! Don't worry if you lost the receipt for that business purchase made 8 months ago. With today's electronic payment methods, all transactions are kept on storage, and so you can easily go back to the shop and ask for a copy of the receipt. Trust me, if I had a penny for every time someone called up wanting to get receipt for payment made on vehicle signage, I'd be retired on a mega yacht, sailing around The Maldives.

So, in essence, learning to be crafty with what you use business credit and/or debit cards can help you gain a lot of tax back, and especially with expensive things such as advertising and signage. With only a few weeks to go, make sure you get your taxes in order and head off to your accountant. It's also a great time to go out and do what needs to be done for your business signage, all so you don't have to wait for the next financial year!

How to Get a Russian Tourist Visa


By Valerie Delzer

I travelled to Russia on my own, without the help of a tour operator. And so, I had to apply for a Russian Tourist Visa myself.

Russia REQUIRES an invitation letter to start the visa process. If you are booking through a travel agent or tour operator they can help you get the process going making things smoother for you.

But if you are travelling independently as I did, you need to figure out how to get it on your own.

Here is how I did it.

Russian Website St. Petersburg Guide

I used St. Petersburg Guide for $19.99 USD per person with fast turnaround service in a couple of days. I then went to the Russian Consulate website for my area in the USA and filled out the Russian visa application form. After following all the instructions and filling out the forms, I sent my application off along with the $193 fee in a cashiers check. Seven days later I picked up my passport in person with the visa page inserted and was ready to go to Russia!

Allow Enough Time

I did this about 2 months in advance of my travel.

I got a tourist visa which is valid for only up to 30 days. The dates you state on your visa application must be within that time frame. For example, I picked July 15 to August 15 as my dates of travel but actually arrived on July 18th and left on August 3rd. They are strict about not wanting the traveler to enter BEFORE the initial date stated, nor can you leave AFTER the date stated.

Get Your Migration Card Upon Arrival in Russia

Once you enter the borders you will get a migration card. It is a little piece of paper that fits inside your passport. (Don't lose it!) You use that migration card to register within 7 days of your arrival. They are strict about that too. Usually your hotel can do this service for free. But in my case, I had rented an apartment from Airbnb.com so I was able to use the services of St. Petersburg guide again.

St. Petersburg Guide arranged to go to the Post Office to obtain the stamp and bring the card to me. This was most helpful as I don't speak Russian proficiently and didn't want to stand in a line all day. I agreed to meet Max, the liaison, at the local Starbucks to retrieve my card. It was as simple as that.

Streamlined Process with Experts

If you are going to Russia on your own, I would recommend you use http://www.sntpeters.com. Max (a young Millenial) is whom I emailed with and eventually met in person. He was most helpful and congenial. They are a legitimate company of knowledgeable people.

Boosting Your Emotional Resilience While Bringing In More Abundance Through Magick


By Donald B. Johnson

When you get to that point in your life where you want to take things to another level - you realize that there are several things you need to reach the next stage of prosperity.

One of those things is having the emotional strength and ability to take on stress on a consistent basis so that you can handle new challenges and life situations that will help push you to the next level.

Gaining more prosperity and more life responsibilities isn't just about having more money or bringing in a larger paycheck - we're talking about pushing you up in what you can handle emotionally as well.

That just means that you can take more stressful situations and all that comes with having a higher abundance lifestyle - including the work stress, the people you have to be around, and the new responsibilities you have to take on.

Money doesn't just come without a bit of extra work - and the emotional aspect is what a lot of people kind of forget about.

If you can't easily take stress then you might have a problem being in tense environments where you have to work with others to solve problems that get you a higher income - and that's how it's always been with increasing your income.

It doesn't just happen without a bit of work, and the work ethic has to be rock solid before you can move forward. If you can't work in a way that brings you greater opportunities and better work conditions, then you won't be able to get ahead - period.

That's what most people don't see, and it's a bad situation when people misjudge the life they want and figure out too late that the income they want has a higher level of stress that they just can't handle - and they end up very sad because handling that amount of stress is just about the only way to get to that next level.

It's like a little challenge we all have to face - and some get it earlier than others.

Once you are able to handle more stress, and manage your emotions more effectively - you will be able to take yourself to new challenges that can bring you more income over time.

We're not talking about anything too outrageous here - all we have to do is build up our emotional resilience over time so that we can handle bigger and better lifestyles as we earn them - and a few spirits can help us with this...

Raahel - Guides you to understand what it takes to bring yourself to the next level in whatever your career or vocation is so that you can take all the needed steps to reach that new level; causes you to understand what it takes to handle that position.

Ophiel (Olympic spirit) - Enables you to fully understand what it takes to handle a career or work position that requires greater effort, responsibility and emotional strength; you just know what it takes and develop yourself so that you can handle it.

In the same way that you need to understand what it takes to finish high school - you have to know what it takes to bring yourself into a higher position of pay and work responsibility.

We don't often think of grade school as a place that you have to pass and make it to the next level - but if you mess up and can't handle the work at school, they don't let you go to the next level, and that is something you have to figure out for yourself in the work place.

If you don't understand that greater positions of power and money come with greater stress and responsibility - you just won't be able to ascend very easily, and that just isn't a situation you remotely want to be in.

When you want to be better you just can't settle for minimum effort - that's what lazy people do and they never win, and they're definitely not the ones that make more money over time - they just stay where they are and don't go anywhere, and that's not a good thing at all.

We have to avoid that, and another spirit can help guide us to exactly where we need to be with our careers and lives in general...

Dantalion - Guides you to see and understand exactly what you need to do to get to the next level in work and career life; you are guided to build yourself up so that you can reach the next stage, preparing yourself emotionally and mentally for what's coming ahead.

The side effect of this entire process is that you end up understanding yourself more, and through that you finally understand what you want out of your career and life in general.

It's not a small moment - we all have these deep periods of reflecting and knowing we need to push ourselves, but sometimes we just don't know what we need to do in order to get to that level - and that's how our spirit friends can help us out.

We're doing all we can do get what we want, and since we know our goal is perfectly within reach - the spirits just give a little direction and we know exactly what to do thereafter.

These types of situations can play out in different ways, and without spirit help you risk taking much longer - if you even achieve that higher level at all - so you know without a doubt that having the perfect guidance to show you exactly what you want is what you need to take you to where you need to be.

Using The Fallen Angels To Develop Your Money Life


By Donald B. Johnson

If you have a career and want to grow it, I have a solution for you.

This is not something that is simple for most people - pushing your career to the next level; whatever your industry might be.

Many have no idea that the fallen angels are perfect for this.

Other spirits can do the same, but these angels have a very particular way of working such that you develop your work life and your personal evolution at the same time; that is not the same as just working on your career whatsoever.

That would be like studying for school just so you can get decent grades; that has nothing to do with the real world, does it?

You have to balance both sides of your life and most people just don't get that.

People tend to notice that their lives are out of flux when things mess up and they feel the weight of their problems - especially at work - pull them down into the gutter.

That is a serious problem, and is a clear sign that you are not aligned somehow with your true path.

You might be spiritually off center - very easy to do sometimes, sadly - or your work life might be just chaos, even if it's actually just fine.

If you want your life to be back in alignment, to know who you truly are and how to push yourself to the next level naturally within your work and personal life - let's begin...

Shahahiah - Align your work and personal life such that both evolve and ascend; this gives a solid boost to your career while pushing your personal evolution to the max (within reasonable means).

Lehachiah - Enhances your personal evolution such that your professional life (career / work life) are equally boosted and enhanced; they are technically in alignment after this.

These angels will literally push you to the next angel, getting you to where you need - not want - to be.

What we want and what we need tend to be very different.

In this case, if we ask for our work life to be better, it could potentially cause our personal lives to go unbalanced and become affected - we don't see that both sides of our live are completely off center.

Likewise, if our personal lives are boosted but our careers are stuck in neutral, do you really think you'll be happy when you realize that your work doesn't fulfill you?
That can't be the case.

These are the people who realize too late in life that their careers are just wrong in some way that they can't pin point, and this is a problem.

That's why we have to keep both halves of our lives in check, making sure they are perfectly center and not out of alignment, before we move on.

Have you ever seen a manager who is stressed out of their mind at work and can't figure out which path to take in work or life?

That is literally the case for many companies where the general managers can't make heads or tail out of several situations that should be very easy to resolve.

They then conclude that the money isn't worth the stress, which is literally the case for them because they couldn't find balance within their growth - and thereby their lives.

That's a hideous thing to have - it's the illusion of success, which no one wants.

Literally having money but no personal growth is like having money in the bank but never touching it; what are earth is your financial life like such that you don't enjoy the money that you make?

This is a problem on a monumental scale for some businesses whose employees are just completely off center, and don't know what to do to further their work lives - and thereby their personal lives.

If you are already in a situation where you feel out of alignment with either your work or personal life, here is a simple solution...

Aniel - To bring you back to center with work and personal life; you will feel both align and your emotions will level off letting you know things are a lot better. This means that when either your personal or work life feel too intense, things balance out and you feel everything resolve back to normal.

You know if you need this or not.

Feeling unbalanced is akin to going to the store and not buying anything - you have no idea what you're doing since none of your plans are working out.

What if you're trying to figure things out and nothing feels like it's working?

You might need to replenish yourself in a different way...

Vevaliah - Dissolves the feeling of being stuck or idle in a way that nothing you do works out or makes a difference. Causes you to see and feel what need to be done to change your situation for the better.

This angel helps remove the nasty feeling of not having your efforts count - they always count but you need to feel and see that they do, which is completely different.

Can you imagine if all your work counted toward your work life and personal evolution and you didn't feel stuck or out of alignment ever?

I'm not saying this is a permanent solution to your problems but it can definitely help and it definitely can't hinder your path in any way, so why wouldn't you use these spirits to help enhance your life in every way that counts?

We are talking about using the spirits to boost our lives in all the ways that matter - personal life and work life - and personal life encompasses all that which is not at the office, and that covers quite a lot of stuff.

This is about removing the obstacles in your path so that you can flourish in all the ways that most matter in your life.

Removing Hideous People And All Negative Influences From Your Life Using Magick


By Donald B. Johnson

When we know we're doing well but people around us just want us to fall - that can be a huge problem that needs to stop.

It's not that we can't easily tough everything out and just ignore the people around us - sometimes that's not an option because some people honestly want to derail us for whatever reason, and they need to be stopped.

These type of people tend to just keep going with their nasty acts until they see that you're having a bad time - and even then many still keep going until you're emotionally torn down, and that has to end.

We might see this in ourselves and others as the nasty people come around and try to affect us.

They aren't always so obvious or affecting with their actions, but we know that they want us to go down and if they can get others to come along as well, it will become one mighty train wreck of a situation.

No one really likes these people, and they constantly do passively horrid things all the time trying to get people emotionally worked up.

Not everyone sees that they're assholes, but when we finally realize what's going on it can be hell to pay since we know they like to cause hideous acts that can ruin the days of those around them.

They just aren't good people and that is why we have to get the spirits involved to remove them from our lives...

Hahaiah (fallen angel) - Causes those who are nasty and evil to be completely removed from your life in a way that exposes them to the people who most matter in their lives; destroys their reputation so that they are completely revealed to those closest to them while also removing them from your life.

Barbatos - Brings your worst enemies to be exposed in a very embarrassing way where they are completely removed from your life; reveals them for the evil acts they have done onto others and ruined their reputations completely in the process. Can also remove enemies from the lives of those you love.

It can bring massive relief to your life and those you care for when your enemies finally fall and they are just gone out of your world completely.

This is not about trying to get over on them for petty and small things that don't really matter - this is about bringing them into a world where everyone knows how bad they are, and they can't easily recover.

In moments where the world just feels all wrong because of these people, you also need some emotional comfort and balance so that you can think clearly and wisely about how to handle things.

We are bringing these evil people to a point where they can't easily recover -and it is not a good thing for them to be able to recoup so that they can cause more damage to others.

The spirits are literally bringing them to their knees in a way that they can't easily find their bearings and do more crap to others - either to you or others close to you - and this is where their nasty acts rebound because they had no idea that their evil bullshit would come back to them.

That is where our last spirit of retribution comes in...

Enki (Sumerian spirit) - Causes the nasty people in our lives or those close to us to experience life collapse where they can't easily harm others again; we are fully able to recover from whatever damage they have caused, to us and others, and our enemies go down in a nasty period of being exposed in the worst ways possible to those that most matter to them. It will not be a good end for them, and they are completely removed from your life.

Once their nastiness rebounds and their lives are a living hell - you can rest assured that justice has been served and that the spirits are working to help you live on, and them stop their nonsense for good.

When you realize that these people are no longer in your life it can be a little intense to see how much better life can be without horrible people trying to derail your path.

This is how we're meant to be - without outside influence trying to derail us, making us feel frustrated, ruined and depleted as human beings. They shouldn't be allowed to do any of that and now we have to spirits to bring life back to balance so that we can move on without worrying about their crap being thrown our way.

We can finally move on and away from others trying to make our lives a living hell, and gently guide them to experience that same hell they tried to make for others - and through the spirits this is possible.

Using The Fallen Angels To Boost Your Financial Situation Long Term


By Donald B. Johnson

There are people who need to resolve their finances in the short term to cover bills or just to have extra money on hand for the necessities - and there are others who want to crank everything up for the long term so that they don't have to worry about short term money related problems.

This is a bit of a different approach that most would take on their finances - but it really shouldn't be.

All we are talking about is making long term shifts to your money situation so that short term problems don't hurt you or come up as often.

It's pretty simple really - we just shift everything so that we make fewer foolish decisions long term and we have far more money in hand beyond what we need for bills and other necessities that are routine in our finances.

We're not talking about huge changes here - but that tends to be how people think about their money in the long run; where they have to make big sweeping changes that causes them discomfort and life disruption in some way.

It's almost never like that, and the fact that a lot of people think that in some way somewhat shows that people just plan for short term finances rather than anything long term - and that's why it's just not reasonable for some people to think beyond the current month or week when it comes to planning anything money related.

They are perfectly capable of thinking beyond a month from now - but in terms of their cash and money available - that's all they can see really, and that sort of thinking will keep them living from paycheck to paycheck and never seeing that small changes now can positively affect the months and years ahead.

It can be a painfully embarrassing situation for some to admit they need some financial help at all - and I don't mean asking others for money or taking out a loan in some way.

This tends to be about how to manage themselves in the short and long term - some just don't get how to keep extra cash on hand, and they see their bills as huge insurmountable blocks in their life that can't be changed or easily managed at times.

That's technically not the worst way to see their finances - but it also isn't the best remotely.

They need to see that embracing better long term financial habits in general can take them a long way and that it's not about worrying about each pay period not bringing in enough cash to pay for anything - that thinking doesn't help anyone, and that feeling of being low on money constantly will eventually bring them down - and it doesn't need to be that way.

The spirits can provide a financial intervention for those who just can't figure their money situations out, and one spirit can help you think about your money in a very particular way so that you don't have the wrong impression about your finances in general...

Melahel - Enables you to think about your finances in the smartest way possible, seeing all ways you can make everything better while reduces all unnecessary spending; causes you to create the perfect budget that fits your short and long term needs.

The instant that you see that your bills don't have to be the focus of your financial life - you will see that everything just falls into place and you suddenly have extra money that you can spend on whatever you want.

It's not that big of a shift to see that the unneeded stuff you buy can be completely cut out and that you can move forward with that extra cash - it all comes about in very unexpected ways sometimes, and often you have hidden sources of cash hidden right in plain sight that you just can't see.

Sometimes those routine bills we just pay for and don't think about aren't even necessary and we don't remotely have to keep giving away our hard earned money on something that we don't even need - and that is something that the spirits can show you over time.

This is something our next angel can help with...

Yichuiah - Causes you to reflect of your finances in a way that removes all unnecessary and inefficient spending so that you see more cash freed up each month going forward; enables you to create a far better budget so that you aren't low on cash anymore.

Another angle of a strong financial situation is being able to make your purchasing decisions wisely so that everything you buy is completely necessary and serves you great benefit - for the short and long term.

Once you have a better budget and more money to use, then you can get to explore wiser spending options so that you have far less buyers remorse and far more long term benefiting decisions.

Each week now becomes a finely crafted spending period where you have no more junk purchases and all your money goes to everything you actually want and need - nothing on stuff that is unneeded or anything that gives you regret.

Though this is not a small thing we're talking about here - it can come from a very small shift in our we see our money and finances in the long term.

Our financial worry ends up getting eradicated and we won't need to think about our spending so much on a week to week basis because we have everything covered - but having wiser spending habits is crucial and is needed for a stronger financial life in general, and that's what the next spirit covers...

Eshaliah - Greatly enhances your spending on a consistent basis so that you are far smarter and wiser with your buying decisions; cuts out all foolish thinking regarding your money life and allows you to embracing far more intelligent spending decisions going forward.

When you have all three of these spirits working on your life, nothing will be the same and you will enjoy far greater financial abundance long term.

These changes might affect your short term money life but overall they will bend and shift your spending and money habits in general so that nothing is ever the same again.

Even if your spending habits aren't that bad, these spirits will make them a lot better so that you suddenly have extra cash just pop up that likely never thought was possible - and that's how the spirits can affect our finances and boost our lives long term; through very smart and wise financial decisions that stack up over time.

If you are ready to change your money life for the better - this is it, and the spirits are willing to guide you toward strong finances on term - as long as you are ready and willing to have your entire money situation change for the better.

Becoming Wiser By Using Hidden Angelic Powers


By Donald B. Johnson

Most don't think to use angels to make themselves wiser.

But this is one of the favorite activities among angels; to help make humans less stupid - guiding them to make wiser decisions.

Didn't think of it that way, did you?

Overall, it's not that big of a deal, but it is if you count the massive heartache that foolish thinking and choices can bring you.

Foolish decisions can cost a lifetime of hard work and toil just to work off one single thing you did earlier in life.

A single wise decision can equally as powerfully make your life that much better, and that's not remotely a joke how different an outcome that creates.

It's the difference between crying because you're laughing so hard...

... and crying because life is tragic and you can't get your footing.

We often don't think in terms of wisdom - perhaps intelligence and being smart. But who want to be wise in a world that favors smart people?

Who are smart people, really?

They're people who make less foolish decision on a daily basis.

Isn't that part of wisdom then, to reduce foolish thinking?

It is, and the angels want to help with this.

Here are some hidden angelic powers that can greatly aid with making wiser choices and thinking...

Lavel - Enable you to make wiser decisions; you are encouraged to stop and think before making all important choices.

Melahel - Reduce foolish thinking, and thereby foolish actions. This empowers your thoughts so that you make far fewer poor / foolish decisions on a daily basis.

Eshaliah - Causes one to pause before acting, having them reflect on the long term ramifications of what they're doing. This increases decision quality; wiser choices equates to a higher quality of living.

These angels are dynamite in terms of removing those regrettable moments we have where we don't think before we act. Those choices me make as a result of those moments tend not to be the best, and sometimes they can lead to a life of regret - and that's what we're trying to avoid here.

Can you imagine if you made one fewer foolish choice per day?

It doesn't matter what it is, but if you reduce the overall number of poor choices in your life, you will literally change everything for the better.

Should you use all the angels listed here?

There's no need for that. Just choose one and see what happens. We often under estimate the number of crappy decisions we make, and that needs to be corrected.

Aniel - Reduce the amount of foolish thinking you have on a daily basis by reflecting frequently throughout the day to ensure all decisions align with what you want and who you are. Causes you to have wiser decisions and thinking - you think before you act, almost always.

Most people don't self-reflect enough.

They often make the excuse that they "didn't think of things that way... " and that then becomes their excuse for not knowing better.

Don't be that person who uses excuses like that just to make up for their poor decisions.

They can be prevented, resolved and even completely eradicated. Don't think that your bad choices define you.

Some think that the bad choices define who they are, but that's a lie.

If you do enough good - make wiser choices - and reduce the amount of crappy things that you do, you are soon known for the good that you do.

Make sense? Of course it does.

Those who are known for their bad choices, and are almost famous for that (notoriety = bad popularity) haven't made enough good choices.

But what if we're already known for the negative stuff already?

Vevaliah - Dissolve our negative reputations so that others see the best in us; people around us start to forget the foolish stuff we've done in the past and start remembering the wiser stuff.

Isn't that a useful power?

Now you have no excuse.

You literally have the tools now to think and act wisely.

Now the only way is onwards.
