Balancing Your Support

Are people constantly on your emotional doorstep? While you would like to help everyone with every issue every day until they are out of the dark, you can not allow someone else's negativity, drama, poor choices, or self-inflicted problems pull you in. It can be very difficult to know where to draw the line, but all of their issues are the lessons of life they need to experience for personal growth. Let them have their experience without it becoming a total distraction for you. Their issues should not be a headline but a small subsidiary story in your day. For all things show compassion by all means, but do so with the understanding that all experiences are meant to help you grow as an individual- that goes for everyone. Know that they too will eventually find themselves in a better place if they do what is necessary to work through their challenges. Part of your journey is balancing the support your give away and the work you put into your self for your own personal growth. Remember that you and your growth must be your first priority, and the only thing ultimately in your control. ~For more posts check out www.twitter.com/_TheAnswerKey & fb.me/TheAnswerKey.

Job Seeker: Tips and Tricks to Getting the Call

Well, you must understand the plight of your potential employer. With so many people unemployed these days, they are literally looking for a needle in a haystack. While the stack of applications flood their desks, acknowledge that you are hardly anything more than another name on a piece of paper. Most employers have the same view of applications- they're pretty much photocopies of each other, but the papers that accompany that application can make all the difference between having a job and still waiting on one. Let's talk about t...

Getting from MS. to MRS.

Usually I post about things that cater to no particular gender, however, this one right here is for the ladies. Fellas, I have not forgotten about you, and will definitely have little something for you at a later date. ;) Now, let's get down to business. First things first, you need to understand the most typical reasons why men usually will not commit in the first place. These reasons have nothing to do with you. These are issues that would be there no matter who he was dating. Simply put, most of them are waiting on the 'bigger, better, deal'- a fatter booty, a cuter face, slimmer waist, good hair, etc. What they don't realize is that waiting on the next best thing turns into anything with a pulse really fast. It will seem as if it happened overnight and then all of a sudden they became 'that dude'. We've all seen him- either at the club or in the grocery store, you can spot 'that dude' from a mile away- middle-aged, probably balding or practical...

Life is too short for 10 rules so here's 5. Good Luck, and Happy Dating! 1. Know what you want, and mean it.

You can tell a lot about a person’s personality and your compatibility just in their tone, their laughter, attentiveness, and the flow. After two conversations you should definitely know if you want to see this person or not. 3. If you list them, they will come… seriously, the list is critical. It forces you to really determine what you ar...
