Got a stress case in your life? Of course you do: Without question, many of us have mastered the neurotic art of spending much of our lives worrying about a variety of things all at once. Carlson’s cheerful book aims to make us stop and smell–if not roses–whatever is sitting in front of our noses. Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff… offers 100 meditations designed to make you appreciate being alive, keep your emotions (especially anger and dissatisfaction) in proper perspective, and cherish other people as the unique miracles they are. It’s an owner’s manual of the heart, and if you follow the directions, you will be a happier, more harmonious person. Like Stairmasters, oat bran, and other things that are good for you, the meditations take discipline. Even so, some of the strategies are kind of fun: Imagine the people in your life as tiny infants and as 100-year-old adults. The trouble is, once you start, it’s hard to stop.

I’ve owned two copies of this book over the years. The first copy I lent to a friend who in turn lent to a friend and so on. Needless to say that this great little gem of a book never found its way back into my eagerly waiting hands.

I’ve purchased another copy since then and read chapters from it from time to time. We all tend to stress about the little things in life, and I’m no different. Whenever I find myself getting unduly frustrated or uptight, a read of this book always helps me put things back into perspective.

I’m a firm believer in not sweating the small stuff: Not just the book, but the principal of it. Life’s way too brief and fleeting to always be tied up in minor details and insignificant issues. Save it for the big problems, I say.

This is a handy little guidebook that does well to serve as a constant reminder to keep things in perspective. I believe every household should have a copy of a book like Richard Carlson’s ‘Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff".

How To Keep Your Man: And Keep Him For Good

Real Life Dramas - Volume One

This book got me through my divorce without any emotional scares! Need I say more… This is a must read for just learning how to appreciate what you have in life rather than focussing on what you could have. Definitely a must read.

This book could have easily been titled: Basic Zen Buddhism for Suburbanites. If you look at the principles Richard Carlson teaches they are absolutely Zen 101 (albeit specifically tailored to a modern, western audience). Ideas such as living in the moment, non-attachment to the transitory nature of life, taking time to sit quietly each day (or as a well-known Soto Zen teacher once said, "Don’t just do something, sit there"), contemplating your own mortality as a method of keeping the events of your life in perspective… all of these are a part of basic Buddhist practice. While anyone who has practiced one of the eastern contemplative disciplines will find this old hat, these lessons are invaluable for the average person - I bought this for my new wife who tends to get obsessive when it comes to the little things. There’s a reason these ideas have been around for thousands of years - they work!

I think the title says it all, overall great book! I also recommend Mr Instability and which way both excellent reads.

In his book "Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff… and it’s all small stuff", author Richard Carlson, PH.D. offers witty and accessible stories emphasizing how life can be so much more fun by living a worry-free existence. Who knew? Carlson’s philosophy makes so much sense. Instead of giving each and every situation a `life and death’ urgency, Carlson suggests a gentler approach to life. He actually insists that life can be fun, and free from the mechanical, ritualistic reactions to every day life situations. In one of my favorite chapters in the book, Carlson discusses the relevance of `boredom’. He explains that we spend far too much energy distracting ourselves with superficial engagements, filling up our appointment books while we neglect to nurture our souls. Spending quiet time alone or with loved ones and enjoying each and every moment in life can be sufficiently engaging indeed.

Two of my favorite authors, Ariel and Shya Kane, also offer wonderful, engaging stories that help inspire me to lead a more fruitful, enriched life in their new book "Being Here: Modern Day Tales of Enlightenment". In one of my favorite passages, Ariel and Shya discuss the importance of slowing down in order to be fully present within each moment of our lives. The Kanes suggest that instead of rushing through our daily activities, we can have greater fulfillment and enjoyment by "taking our time and being where you are". These truly enlightening books by Carlson and the Kanes suggest that life can be fun by taking the time to enjoy every moment of it! It seems easy- and guess what, it is!

Dearest Karla
You are my love
You are my world
My most valuable prize and gift
My love from above
Whom my heart
Continually thinks of
The one I cannot live without
Eliciting emotions of all kinds
Making me sing, cry and joyfully shout!
Even when apart
Within me you are near
Filling my heart
With gladness and cheer
Day by day,
Month by month,
Year by year.
Wonderful princess
To me you are
Whether beside me,
Near or afar!

Distance does not matter
It means nothing in my mind
My love will stand
The test of distance and time
Though apart for a season
My heart remains sublime

Not so for others
Who disagree
With long distance relations
Obviously they don’t feel
The same sensations
They hold to the obvious and visible
Yet with God
All things are possible
Why therefore should they decide
Why therefore should they deride
Why therefore should they
With God’s intent collide?
Fools are they who chide
Who merely are given to reason
Giving a piece of their mind
While withholding their hearts
From such mediocrity
I must depart
But as for you Karla
The darling of my heart
From you my princess
I shall never depart
For I am fully persuaded
Eternally captivated
Undoubtedly intoxicated
By the depths of your love
Which I consider nothing less
Than a gift from God above.
So then whether near or afar
Karla you remain upheld
Wherever you are.

I wanted to be someone that wrote about hope and believing you are never alone, but I’ve never felt so lonely. So much time, energy and love, only to realize that to be me, no one I love will love me. At least not through this pain, when I’ve only asked once. The knowledge I have of those now is that which I wish I could have forever been ignorant to.

You cannot make someone love you, believe in you. You can’t make them be what you thought they were or who you thought they were. They say ignorance is bliss and I believe now complacency is, too. If I stay what and who they want me to be, I’ll die. If I become what I am, what I have hidden, if I am me, I find I am only loved conditionally and my death comes in smaller pieces.

I carry my love for them. What beauty I know they could be. I am weary from the weight and unworthy of anyone’s time to assist. I want to quit ’cause its easy. I want to quit, because I don’t want to have to walk away and be hurt again by carrying their blame.

Silence is my refuge and I pray the creativity will come again, but I will never be as good as I could have been. If only one would have been true, would have really believed, would have really loved.

Daughter of Destiny
Child of the Spirit
Yesterday?s is gone
A new day has come
With the fire of My Spirit
You now shall burn and run
Taking your testimony forth
Going into the nations
Boldly arising without hesitation
For the finances shall flow
All fear and doubt go!
Provision you?ll know
My bounty untold
Abundant treasures of old.

As for your audience
You?ll attract them like a magnet
For you attract what you are
And daughter you are much
Much more than you know
Definitely beyond the vain show
For you are a woman of valor
A woman of honor
A woman of strength
None shall dishonor
For I shall be with you
I will guard your back
And silence the enemy
Before every attack
So fear not My daughter
For this is your hour
To arise and shine
Redeem the time
Be at peace and sublime
For you?re in your prime
Prime time has come
Divine destiny is fun!
Together we?ll teach
The nations we?ll reach
And when you open your mouth
Through it I shall speak
My authority you?ll know
My power through you shall flow
Demon power shall go
As you abide in My zoe
The God kind of life
That cuts through lies
With the edge of a knife
The sword of the Spirit
Causing to cease all turmoil and strife
The gifts of the Spirit within you
Far better weapons are they
Yet to be discovered
They?re in you already
Waiting happily to be uncovered
Gifts to be unwrapped
Treasures to be unlocked
Divine ability to explode in you
So you can teach and do!
It?s all yours by faith
Just believe and enter in
Grab it with grace
With a smile on your face
Once you get it
Guard it well
For the jealous devil
Would prefer you in hell
As you freely receive
Freely give
Give it to the nations
Letting God arise
Imparting spiritual sensations
Removing all limitations!

The Dream-Maker is here
In His glory He?s come
To take away the dull
And make life more fun
To cause you to arise
To not despise
Even to remove the scales
From your eyes
Imparting spiritual vision
A burden for the nations
A yearning for revival
And divine impartation
So think it not strange
As I the Lord come suddenly
For I have chosen you
To be a daughter of destiny.

The disco ball might not be as popular today that it was 20 years ago, it has been replaced more modern party equipment such as stroboscopes and lasers, but it can not be denied that disco balls still stand as a symbol for a good time. There are still night clubs that uses them and it is hard not to feel a little sentimental when entering one of these clubs. There are also still a number of merchants that sells disco balls and if you are looking to get a disco ball I recommend that you get the real deal. Not s cheap imitation such as the many USB disco balls and other small junk version that is all plastic or has lights on them. These might be cheaper but will not give you the right feeling. A quality disco ball is worth the extra cost.

Although there still are manufacturers of disco balls around today it might be easier and cheaper to locate and purchase a used one from the 70s. Used disco balls from the 70s are also more genuine as they actually where a part of the disco area.

If you are on a tight budget you can build your own disco ball by building your own. This can be just as cheap or expensive as you want it to be. And you can build it just the right size. Building disco balls simply boils down to attaching a reflective surface to a sphere. The reflective material can be everything from fragment of mirrors to old broken or unwanted CDs. You can read more about how disco balls really work further down in this article and understanding how a disco ball works will make a lot easier for you to build one.

You might associate the disco ball with the disco area of the 70s but the fact is that the history started a lot earlier. Disco balls were popular all through the 20s which means that the disco ball predates the disco area with over 50 years. They did their debut on the big screen in 1927 when a disco ball appeared in the German silent film ?Berlin: Die Sinfonie der Gro?stadt? which roughly translates into ?the symphony of the large city?.

The disco ball did however not get its final break through until the disco area and its large night clubs. It is believed that the break through of the disco ball during the disco area is associated with the drug culture on the disco scene at this time. The slowly dancing lights became entrancing for the drugged mind.

The light effect that the people on the disco dance floors found so enchanting is achieved by reflecting lights from using a myriad of small mirror that have been carefully placed in a sphere like shape, a disco ball. The mirror reflects light from spotlights that are aimed towards the ball reflecting it in all directions. A small motor is placed on the ball to make it spin and voila! The disco ball effect!

Click to learn more about disco balls. Just think about the 70s disco parties you could hold with a genuine shiny disco ball from the 70s.

There is a light ahead
Where am I going?
I?ve arrived ? my first breath
Mum? What are you doing?
It?s warm against her body
Feeling safe with the others
Why are we all different?
Are those my sisters and brothers?
I?m moving ? but not with paws
It?s one of those human beings
The little one is nearing
What is all this that I?m seeing?
Mum! Why are you staying?
I?m being taken by the others
We?re moving away and they?re looking at me
Now I?ll never see my Mother
Ow! A sharp pain in my leg
A hug from the human one
She feeds me and plays with me
Perhaps this life could be fun
Funny ? they touch with their mouths
They talk to a thing by their ears
They wear clothes and eat with sticks
Have they done this for all these years?
They move along in metal things
They watch things in a square
And listen to noises from a box
I?ve got fur ? they have hair
I?m supposed to be a human?s best friend
I belong to the family ? I do
Some think I?m a dumb animal
From what I?ve seen ? so are you!
