‘Difficulties’ by What2believe
Winner 2013 Best Self-Help post

The difficulties you encounter in your life are not supposed to torture you, but a reminder to let you know that you have some unfinished life lessons to which you need to address, it simply means you have not yet transcended a particular test life has to offer you.

Whenever you encounter difficulty in life, the first thing that you would say to yourself is “Thank you”, for life is finding a way to bring you an experience you need at a deeper level.

See difficulty encountered in life as catalyst to examine inwardly your state of being, so that you can choose again to change your perspective and attitude towards a particular situation you labelled as suffering.

and the nominees for the 2014 Best Self-Help Post are…..

nominated post ‘The power of a SMILE….’

May the elderly grandma be well and happy!

We may not all read books of inspiration or listen to motivational tapes or write our own goals down and place them in a visible place to read every day, and while each of these methods offers something positive to help us stay focused, LIJUN reminds us of the power of a smile and the difference it can make.

{excerpt from The power of a SMILE}
A little gesture of kindness can bring tremendous happiness to other’s life!  Why not just do it! Don’t delay, don’t give excuses….give your unconditional loving kindness and BIG SMILE! You can always make a difference in your life and others too!

nominated post  ‘The Highest Calling of Mankind’

The Highest Calling of Mankind

There are some offering advice or words of wisdom, that force a climb up a hill to get it, no doubt believing, anything worth having is worth working for, and that includes knowledge. {Man} He does not trust himself with his own power of creation and ability to wield his tools with integrity. But reaching the top is worth the climb as artistic or spiritual freedom awaits. {Man} In his own Luminosity he finds shadowless, free to paint his canvass in rapturous tones. – {excerpt from The Highest Calling of Mankind}

from Welcome to our MindMedicine blog!
nominated post ‘Life is a Process of Becoming’

 The conversational flow and writing style of  Life is a Process of Becoming  feels like we are sitting next to a good friend. The writing voice speaks directly to us, making the positive affirmations feel real, not like words upon a page. And even if you find the summation more than a bit optimistic, the subheading alone is worth the nomination. Acceptance, Allowing, Freedom, Peace, Self-Development, Self-Help, Self-Love, Wisdom {excerpt from Life is a Process of Becoming}

from the blog, Ramblings of a Young Christian Woman
nominated post ‘A Sassy 17 Year Old and & An Unveiled Passion’

A Sassy 17 Year Old & An Unveiled Passion

Her ramblings are about, and her passion is of her devout faith and her determination to fulfill the mission He has for her. That Spring, the Lord awakened a part of my heart I never knew existed. Rather we are of the same faith or religion or spiritual belief, makes no difference in being inspired by her dedication, and motivated by the intensity of A Sassy 17 Year Old and & {Her}An Unveiled Passion to make a contribution to humanity.

from the blog, Ahmad Al Charif
nominated post ‘Wake Up’

Wake Up!

When was the last time you gave your soul something it really wanted? Posing such a heavy question, we would anticipate an even heavier solution, but this is not the case. While Ahmad Al Charif may be a spiritual philosopher, who speaks to our inner self, he understands that to penetrate the chaos that sometimes surrounds, he must speak in a way that we hear and listen. When was the last time you sat in silence, completely still, and you felt whole, complete, and at peace?  Wake Up inspires us to do just that, by simply allowing our inner voice to hear itself think.

nominated post Think Thursday: Accept Your Growth!

Accept Your Growth!

We are the accumulation of the days of our lives. With every challenge, every experience, every success and every meltdown we have ever had – Everything you go through is meant to teach you, strengthen you and “grow you” into the person you are meant to be. – is indicative of the inspirational prose delivered on any given Thursday, and on October 2, 2014 we learned that to Accept Your Growth! is one of the best things we can do for ourselves. 

from the blog Breaking Free/Living Life
nominated post The World of Triggers

The World of Triggers

Rather it is an addiction, that is the burden we carry, or post traumatic stress disorder has us walking on eggshells, or  we are haunted by a memory, that awakes us screaming in a cold sweat, each episode usually follows what are referred to as triggers or ‘the button that sets things off’ and turmoil into motion. Dealing with our triggers proactively is productive – is one of seven easily understood subheadings, which takes us from  understanding The World of Triggers Regardless how big or little the triggers may be, the reaction is the same -to the desired  Result: freedom!
