Who do you pray to?

Penny4urThoughts @Penny4urThoughts (185) • United States 30 Jul 11

I feel like there are so many different entities that people pray to. I mean, is it Allah(c.c), (Whom I pray to), God, Jehova, Buddha, statues, an angel? Who is teh one you find yourself talking and praying to when youre stressed...

fixerupper3530 I am not exactly a religious person, but I do lean more toward the beliefs of the Jehovah's Witnesses. I pray to Jehovah every so often (less than I should, unfortunately), and I thank him for the blessings that he gives me. I am grateful to him because...

Wanting what you can't have

leasmom @leasmom (101) • Austria 27 Jul 11

Sometimes people, and I am no exception occasionally, seem to always want what they don't or even can't have. Why is that? What makes us strive for those things?

fixerupper3530 Lacking inner contentment leads to people wanting what others have. We should strive to want what we currently have, and not concern our selves with other peoples accomplishments. We don't know if someone else stole the money to by their new Mercedes. I am...

Job listings say the unemployed need not apply

whiteheather39 @whiteheather39 (24403) • United States 26 Jul 11

Is anyone as appalled as I am about this? Hundreds of job opening listings posted on Monster.com and other jobs sites explicitly state that people who are unemployed would be less attractive applicants, with some telling the...

fixerupper3530 How is it possible to get a job when they discourage you from applying. It's not like all of the unemployed have enough money to start their own business. I had to start mystery shopping just to keep the lights on. It's rough here in America these days. Life...

Money money

meenalkadian @meenalkadian (348) • India 27 Jul 11

Everybody wants to earn some extra. This extra never ends because nobody is satisfied with which he/she is earning. Even I am not satisfied. Do you people satisfied with your earning or just like me you also want some extra...

fixerupper3530 The only time anyone becomes satisfied is when they have so much money at the end of each month that they can actually set some aside for savings. At my house we are able to pay the bills, but we can't save a nickel. With an additional $500 dollars a month I...

fixerupper3530 Go for the 75 million! You only live once. A lottery ticket will cost you as much as you can save in the market with just a few coupons. When you win, I am sure that you have plenty of good people in your life to help. They are counting on you, so pick good...

Failing by following others' advice.

thetis74 @thetis74 (1524) 27 Jul 11

Sometimes we can be really confused and not being able to know what to do we are torn between which solution to take to solve our problems. We seek the help of friends and we pick one sometimes. So what can you do if following...

fixerupper3530 I don't follow others advice. I may listen to their opinions, but I decide if what they say makes any sense before I make my own decision. I use to follow others advice, but I never was happy with the results. You are intelligent! Listen to others, but only do...

nanie2001 @nanie2001 (18) 27 Jul 11

fixerupper3530 Forgive yourself now! You work hard to take care of your kids. You can not protect them at all times. Modern life forces all of us to spend less time with family because of all of the bills we have to pay. Your life will be more peaceful if you can simplify...

Toni @toniganzon (72539) • Philippines 26 Jul 11

fixerupper3530 Asking for favors is a natural part of life. We were all put onto this earth to help each other. If you offer and give more favors than you ever receive, you will never be in debt to anyone who does a favor for you. Give help, and you will receive help. People...

fixerupper3530 Have you tried mystery shopping? I do it during my free time, and make about $400 dollars a month. It's not much, but it does pay a few bills. The nicest part about it is that I can stop and start whenever I want.

fixerupper3530 Long distance relationships rarely work! When you don't spend much time with someone, you tend to grow apart. One of you will have to make a big sacrafice and move to the same town as the other. This will give your relationship the greatest opportunity for...
