Most people don’t at the time they happen — only in retrospect. You may naturally feel excited during big life events – weddings, newborn babies, first homes, job promotions, and so on – and I don’t mean to diminish their importance. However, we often reminisce about enjoying the small things in life, those everyday moments that have made up the fabric of our lives. Kurt Vonnegut said, “Enjoy the little things in life because one day you’ll look back and realize they were the big things....

In the first stages of flirting, you don’t have much information about her personality or accomplishments. However, we can all see each other’s eyes, and they are an acceptable physical feature to discuss. If you want to know how to compliment eyes, it requires some forethought. You must tailor your comment to the woman. This thoughtfulness communicates that you noticed something specific about her. Is It OK to Tell a Girl She Has Pretty Eyes?...

But what does that even mean? If you have a higher self, that must mean you have a lower self, too. And it makes sense to get both parts of you working together as a team. In order to do that, you have to know your whole self. And that means facing personal attributes you’d rather not think about. Finding yourself generally starts at the bottom and often in the less socially acceptable parts of your personality....

It’s one thing to find it hard to get someone out of your head; it’s another thing when you find yourself actively dwelling on that someone and looking for ways to feed an insatiable hunger to be near them — if only in your imagination. You want to know how to stop obsessing over someone. But so far it’s been easier said than done. You obsess over the details of every casual encounter with this person....

You’ve noticed the difference in how some people you know deal with their anger. Some are more likely to get even — others more likely to steep themselves in their anger and quietly burn with resentment. Some personalities are more passionate than others who are more private. But which personalities are most prone to holding grudges in a relationship? What Causes Someone to Hold a Grudge? Why do people hold grudges?...

Maybe you feel a little bit of both — excited at the possibility of success and intimidated about the potential for failure. Most of us do give up on our resolutions within weeks of setting them. We begin with bang and end with a whimper, once again feeling like we don’t have the “right stuff” to follow through on our new year’s resolutions. If it makes you feel better, you aren’t alone....

Often finding the right person begins with understanding more about yourself. The Myers Briggs personality test was created to do just that. If you’ve ended up here, you may know already that you are either an ENFP or an INFJ personality type. So what does that mean exactly? ENFP (the Champion) represents extraverted, intuitive, feeling, and perceiving functions of personality. ENFP’s are creative, outgoing, and highly perceptive. When looking for a partner, the dynamic ENFP often needs someone who can play on the same emotional field....

“This year is all about _____.”“My power word for the year is _____.”“Every day this year will begin and end with ____.” The inspiring words resonate so strongly with those who have chosen them that a whole year feels like hardly enough time to focus on them. Words have so much power to inspire motivation and actions for a better life. But the key is choosing the right words that ignite your dreams and remind you of the bigger reasons for your actions....

You probably already know there are many things about your personality that make you different from your friends. That statement is very true if you’re an INFJ on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality table, you are the rarest Myers-Briggs type. An INFJ is one of the sixteen different personality types identified by prominent psychiatrist Carl Jung in his book Psychological Types and later popularized by the MBTI. The acronym INFJ stands for introversion (I), intuition (N), feeling (F), and judging (J)....

Adults who blame their parents have so many psychological aspects to focus on, from Attachment Theory to the unmet needs of an inner child. Even basic acts of love, like fixing a daughter’s smudged lipstick, can elicit harsh responses. What is it going to take to stop blaming mom? Can we create a world where no mother ever wonders again, “Why does my daughter blame me for everything?” Why Do Daughters Blame Their Mothers for Everything?...

But now that you’ve drawn him into your world, he’s backing away. It’s weird, right? What other animal does this? If you had the time, you’d do some real research into that (maybe), but right now, all you want to know is why do guys pull away before they commit? When men pull away, they have reasons. And one guy’s reasons can be different from another’s, as you’ll see below....

Well, technically, it is. But this particular coincidence feels like a message. It feels personal, and you refuse to dismiss it as a meaningless accident. You’re not sure what it means to listen to the universe, but you do notice things. And lucky for you, the universe knows plenty of ways to get your attention. That said, if you’re open to receiving messages from the universe — and you probably wouldn’t be reading this if you weren’t — it helps to know what to look for....

Although we still have a long way to go, women have more control today than ever before over their careers, bodies, finances, and lifestyles. Women are capable of supporting themselves and their families and are breaking old stereotypes of traditional female roles.

But how do these changes for women apply to you personally?...
