Jobless in America
by: Detra Davis
The whole job search effort is completely exhausting and at times just plain pathetic. It is what it is and if you are unemployed know that the job search experience is one familiar to everyone at some point and time, so don’t feel alone. One of the major mistakes many job seekers make is not being able to keep the whole job search experience organized. Remembering who you spoke to on what day, concerning what job can be a true “mission impossible.”
There are a couple of things that can make the whole experience more palatable. Lighten up and write it all down.
1. Write down all names, numbers, address, driving directions, phone and fax numbers associated with your job search. You never know when you will be able to help someone else find a job. Remember good deeds never go unrewarded and what goes around comes back around.
2. Writing a resume for each position is essential and using the correct verbs to describe your talents and accomplishments is crucial. It is unlikely in three, five or ten years that you will remember how you described increasing those sales accounts 300%. Keep those old resumes, they will come in handy.

Intro To Obsessions & Compulsives
by: Arthur Buchanan
You can start by looking into Obsessions and what they mean and how they affect people. Read more about what Pure “O” means, how everyone has Violent and/or Sexual thoughts to a certain degree and so on…
Then look at how Compulsions work. Read more about why rituals are repeated, which actions might be repeated and so on…
Now that you understand those 2 elements of OCD, you can look at how they interact or counteract each other by looking at the OCD- Cycle.
Someone with OCD will often feel as if their obsession or ritual is different than those of others with OCD. However this isn’t the case at all.
There are so many different types of OCD- Symptoms that although slight differences may occur, there most likely will be 1 you will be able to relate to. Hopefully this knowledge will lead to you feeling less alone.
OCD- Aspects got their own page, since although they are OCD- symptoms, they are also amongst the less known 1’s. Most people have heard of people with OCD who wash, count or check, but there are a few aspects of OCD such as Hoarding and Hit- and- Run that could benefit from being given just that little extra attention.

My Utmost For The Highest
by: Arthur Buchanan
When you start thinking of how you can help others that is a good sign, as your mind is starting to look at the picture as a whole instead of the pieces parts that others seem to see.
(You Are Getting Closer and Closer to That Perfect You Everyday!)
You will start to focus on what is the best opportunity for yourself to help others, which in turn will produce many golden opportunities to help others and yourself in the whole process! This is one of the keys to “Building The Perfect You.” Might I also mention it holds one of the keys to a successful future! First, you must see the best in yourself before you can see it in others.
You must look inside yourself and see that person you know you can be and you have always dreamed of being! Now you are probably saying to yourself “It’s easy to see!” Doing that is the hard part. You are right, it will be hard, but the key is if you can see it, you can become it, that’s powerful and needs repeating; IF YOU CAN SEE IT YOU CAN BECOME IT!

I Want To Rock!
by: Arthur Buchanan
What do I mean I want rock? I must be showing my age, it was a heavy mental band from the eighties, Twisted Sister. Does this mean I think we all should bang are heads? I don’t think so. Now if we aren’t to bang our heads what are we supposed to do?
Have you ever said to yourself, if I knew now what I didn’t know then, I would go back in a heartbeat? I believe that most people in there thirties would normally say this, let’s take a closer look at this statement. Would you really go back in life if you were to be sixteen again?
I mean all the new drugs, ecstasy and the like, cigarette companies trying to get you hooked by going after the 14 to 16 year olds, because if they can they know that they have a sucker for life. Now I bet you are saying to yourself they say not to smoke now, then why I asked do you see all the magazine ads look so cool and how you look great with a cigarette in your hand.

What’s Love Got to Do With It? (MHM-Mental Health Matters)
by: Arthur Buchanan
Hey I bet you are saying to yourself what does love got to do with it? That my friend is simple, it’s got everything to do with it! You can’t stand there and tell me or even sit there and tell me that love doesn’t have or play a huge roll in your life!
It has everything to do with you. You want to find a mate and be loved, don’t you? Say yes, because I know this to be true. Now why is it are primal interest to love and be loved? When Adam was alone in the Garden of Eden, he got lonely and God in his infinite wisdom, decide to make Adam a mate, from his own rib even.
Now why would Adam become lonely in the Garden of Eden, a perfect place? Now do you see were the very first love and be loved took place? That’s right with the very first person and God agreed with him, so he really must have been lonely and wanted to be loved!
Six Days Left!

Six Days Left!
by: Arthur Buchanan
What would you do if you knew you only had six days left to live? You may think that is wired, but don’t you think that some things you will find more important than others? I am sure you would? Would you drink yourself to death literally, drink for six days straight just getting drunk all the time, forgetting your loved ones and letting your last days be a stupor. I think not!
I bet you would spend all the time in the world with your family, friends and anyone who you consider worthy of your last days on this earth. So the next time your child gets a whole in his jeans and you are ready to yell at him or her, remember six days left you might want to bend down and hug him and tell him there will be more jeans to be bought and it could have happened to anyone.
Did He Really Talk About Money and Well Being More than Heaven?

Did He Really Talk About Money and Well Being More than Heaven?
by: Arthur Buchanan
All you have to do is read the Bible and you’ll know the answer to this question. Yes Jesus talked more about money and well being than he did about heaven. He said the Kingdom of Heaven is within, who does this leave out? That’s right no one, it is in all of us and no one is left out.
Now about the money thing, remember the parable of the talents? He who has more will be given more and to him who has less, that will be taken away from him. I believe that Jesus meant that the way you handle your money and what you do with it. If you use it for good and help the kingdom out, I believe that you will be given more and you will be called a good Stewart of your money.
The ones who have little that will be taken away, but if you learn how to handle it you will in turn give you more, it is my belief that the more you give the more you will get. Just like you reap what you sow. The good Samaritan could not have helped out the poor soul that was beaten. He needed money to put the person up at the inn for the night or how many nights that he needed to recover.

Borderline Personality Disorder - Things You Need To Know!
by: Arthur Buchanan
What are the symptoms of BPD?
Individuals with BPD have several of the following symptoms:
marked mood swings with periods of intense depression, irritability, and/or anxiety lasting a few hours to a few days;
inappropriate, intense, or uncontrolled anger;
impulsiveness in spending, sex, substance use, shoplifting, reckless driving, or binge eating;
recurring suicidal threats or self-injurious behavior;
unstable, intense personal relationships with extreme, black and white views of people and experiences, sometimes alternating between “all good” idealization and “all bad” devaluation;
marked, persistent uncertainty about self-image, long term goals, friendships, and values;
chronic boredom or feelings of emptiness; and frantic efforts to avoid abandonment, either real or imagined. What causes BPD?
The causes of BPD are unclear, although psychological and biological factors may be involved. Originally thought to “border on” schizophrenia, BPD also appears to be related to serious depressive illness. In some cases, neurological disorders play a role. Biological problems may cause mood instability and lack of impulse control, which in turn may contribute to troubled relationships. Difficulties in psychological development during childhood, perhaps associated with neglect, abuse, or inconsistent parenting, may create identity and personality problems. More research is needed to clarify the psychological and/or biological factors causing BPD. The field is also actively looking at genetic vulnerabilities.
Go To Hell!

Go To Hell!
by: Arthur Buchanan
Can you literally go to hell or is a place we make up in our mind? To keep the people (The Masses) in line? Why would a God that loves you give you free will and then turn around and say you have two choices. One you are good and you go to heaven and live with me, but if you are bad then you go to hell and live with the so called devil.
If there is a Hell, we are living in it! A wise man once told me, and I consider him to be a man of God. Who literally loves everyone and lives the way he talks, basically he walks the walk and talks the talk. We are taught from birth that there is a devil and a heaven and a hell and so on and so fourth.
Yet I believe that the “religious leaders” have twisted and turned the Bible and took this out and that out, to what they wanted it to be like. Then they die and the next group takes this out and that out and sooner or later you are a sinner and going to hell.
Overcoming the Fear of Flying

Overcoming the Fear of Flying
by: Arthur Buchanan
WHAT CAUSES FEAR OF FLYING?
There are a lot of ways that you can become afraid of flying. You might experience strong turbulence during a flight, or experience what you consider to be a “close call”. You might have a panic attack on a plane, and thereafter fear having another one if you fly again. You might find that the continuing media emphasis on “scary flying stories” leads you to become afraid. You might experience a stressful period in your life during which flying becomes progressively more difficult for you. You might experience a traumatic event (unrelated to flying) shortly before a flight, which leads you to become afraid on the flight. Many people have developed a fear of flying in response to the 9/11 terrorism.
There are a lot of ways that people become afraid. But one way that people don’t become afraid is this: they don’t set out to discover the most dangerous activities they engage in, and then avoid those. No! A phobia is not a logical process. You become afraid for one reason or another, and then come to believe that your fear means that flying is too dangerous, even though virtually everyone regularly engages in activities which are much more dangerous than flying. Maybe you avoid flying altogether, or maybe you continue to fly with fear, but in some way you resist and struggle against your fear, and that is precisely what maintains it!
