Relationship, Imperfection, Water, Wabi Sabi and More...


Love Advice: Sir Hugh Walpole

The most wonderful of all things in life is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a growing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing; it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of divine accident and the most wonderful of all things in life. (Sir Hugh Walpole)

Beauty Advice: Marilyn Monroe

Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it is better to be absolutely rediculous than absolutely boring. (From Marilyn: Her Life in Her Own Words)

Beauty Secret: Diane Irons

Be the Star of Your Own Show: You should be what people notice. Your cosmetics and clothes should not compete for attention with each other, or with you. Stay with the basics, but invent your own style. If you like the color red, then use it as a consistent accent piece in your wardrobe. Do you have a special collection of pins or bracelets? Show them off; make them your signature. But definitely do not attempt to wear more than two pieces at a time. (From The World's Best-Kept Beauty Secrets)

Glamour Advice: Sandra Deeble

It's All In The Mind: The really great thing about glamour is that it is possible to think yourself glamorous. Here are some tips to get you started. (From A Girl's Guide to Glamour)
* Shed doubts now.
* Stop wondering what other people think about you.
* Close your eyes and visualize yourself in a world where you float, breathe evenly, and your heart beats firmly yet calmly. Say to yourself that you are 100 per cent certain that your place in the world is admired, welcomed, and envied. Believe it.
* Hypnotize yourself if you can - play haunting music - and see yourself living out a soignee life in rapturous Technicolor.
* Be kind to yourself. If there are areas of your life that are lackluster or in disarray, make time to think about them. Don't panic. Your mind doesn't need to spiral out of control.
* Start practicing a more glamorous vocabulary from today.
* Luxuriate in your life, revel in the good things, sparkle in company, fizz with laughter, celebrate hedonism, fun, and joy.

Success Advice: Paula Froelich

Don't try to fake a talent you really don't have! Sometimes you've just got to know when a dream is not attainable. A friend of mine dated a man for many years who was extremely depressed. He had always wanted to be an actor but found himself as a computer graphics guy instead. When he was younger, he never really went after the dream of acting, assuming something would just fall in his lap. Then later, he did it in a severely half-assed way. Yet he always moaned about wanting to become an actor. Because he never got off his ass and did anything in a wholehearted manner, he ended up, at the ripe old age of forty-eight; smoking way too much pot, broke, and annoying. Time for another dream, buddy. (From It! 9 Secrets Of The Rich and Famous That Will Take You To The Top)

Living Wabi Sabi: Taro Gold

Life is perfectly imperfect. When you embrace the whole of your life and recognize the value of every aspect, including the mishaps and flaws, then the very imperfections that once diminished your happiness can become sources of insight and strength.
