Confront fear head on!
The best way to battle fear is never to avoid it, be alert to it, as it tends to hide from you or perhaps we want to hide from it as a defense mechanism. As soon as the feeling of fear emerges, go into yourself, first feel the emotion physically in the energy centers of your body typically tightness in your chest, solar plexus (the pit of the stomach) or your throat, then analyze your thoughts, do not resist, nothing you do can change the circumstances or person generating that feeling, no matter how bad it feels accept it as an unavoidable part of life, as you do, feel good about yourself you are becoming a better person! as each time you do this you enhanced the preparation for the next feeling of fear.

Having shot a moose two Antartians began dragging it by the tail to their pick-up.

On the way they were stopped by a game warden. "Let me see your hunting licenses boys," he said. When he saw that everything was in order he asked if he could give them some advice.

"Sure!" the hunters agreed.

"Well boys, I think that you would find it a lot easier to drag that moose by the horns and not the tail."

"Aye, O.K. and thanks," said the lads.

After about five minutes one said to the other, "Boy, dragging by the horns is sure a lot easier, eh?"

"Aye, you're right," said his friend, "but have you noticed that we are getting further away from the truck?"

Eating right
A number of foods are loaded with vitamin B-complex, folic acid, vitamins A and E, zinc, magnesium, iron, chromium, selenium, and essential fatty acids that add to your brainpower. To incorporate these elements into your diet is easy; all you have to do is eat. The best choices in food that include these elements are: sardines, herrings, shellfish, dried and sprouted beans, nuts, seeds, apples, apricots, black currents, carrots, bananas, liver, beets, celery, barley, brown rice, oats, kidney, lean beef, Brewer’s yeast, black strap molasses, wheat germ, basil, rosemary, ginger, and licorice. It is best to avoid foods high in sugar like baked goods and sodas, because they result in great fluctuations in blood-sugar levels, which causes breaks in your concentration and energy levels.

At an international medical conference, and American, a German and a Russian were discussing the shortcomings of their diagnoses.

The American said; “I can’t stand it sometimes, “We treat patients for cancer, and they die of AIDS.” “I know what you mean,” said the German “We treat them for yellow fever; ant it turns out they had malaria.” “We don’t have that problem in our country,” said the Russian doctor. “When we treat patients for a disease, they die of that disease.”

Living
When you conquer your fear of death, you will conquer your fear of living.

True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it be lost.

+ General Joke
A mother was working in the kitchen, listening to her five-year-old son
playing with his new electric train in the living room.

She heard the train stop and her son saying: "All of you b*stards who want
off, get the hell off now, cause this is the last stop! And all of you
b*stards who are getting on, get your a*s in the train, cause we're going
down the tracks".


The horrified mother went in and told her son: "We don't use that kind of
language in this house. Now I want you to go to your room and stay there for
TWO HOURS. When you come out, you may play with train, but I want you to use
nice language."


Two hours later, the son came out of the bedroom and resumed playing with
his train. Soon the train stopped and the mother heard her son say: "All
passengers who are disembarking the train, please remember to take all of
your belongings with you. We thank you for traveling with us today and hope
your trip was a pleasant one."


She hears the little boy continue: "For those of you just boarding, we ask
you to stow all of your hand luggage under your seat. Remember, there is no
smoking on the train. We hope you will have a pleasant and relaxing journey
with us today."


As the mother began to smile, the child added: "For those of you who are
p*ssed off about the TWO HOUR delay, please see the fat b*tch in the
kitchen."

“If you run, you’ll only go to jail tired.”

“Warning! You want a warning? Okay, I am warning you not to do that again or I’ll give you another ticket.”

"In God we trust, all others are suspects."

DO NOT BE A TALEBEARER
MY MOTHER ALWAYS TOLD ME NOT TO GOSSIP OR LISTEN TO IT. SHE USED AN OLD SAYING THAT, "A DOG WHO WILL TAKE A BONE, WILL CARRY A BONE."

Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all.

A man being interviewed for a job was asked his name.

My name is Morris M. Morris he replied.

What does the M stand for?

Nothing he replied they just stuck it in to break the monotony.

Etiquette means behaving yourself a little better than is absolutely essential.

Washing Sneakers?
If you blast some spray starch on sneakers before wearing them,

they will be easier to launder since the dirt won’t grind in. Wash them in

the machine and they’ll come out spanking clean!

A Swiss man, looking for directions, pulls up at a bus stop where two Americans are waiting. “Entschuldigung, koennen Sie Deutsch sprechen?” he asks. The two Americans just stare at him. “Excusez-moi, parlez vous Fracais?” he tries. The two continue to stare. “Parlare Italiano?” No response. “Hablan ustedes Espanol?” Still nothing. The Swiss guy drives off, extremely disgusted. The first American turns to the second and says, “Y’know, maybe we should learn a foreign language.” “Why?” says the other. “That guy knew four languages, and it didn’t do him any good.”

Realizing Goals
It is a defect in language that words suggest permanent realities and people do not see through this deception. But mere words cannot create reality. Thus people speak of a final goal and believe it is real, but it is a form of words and the goal as such is without substance. The one who realizes the emptiness of objects and concepts does not depend on words. Perfect wisdom is beyond definition, and pathlessness is the way to it.

The wise one treads this path for the direct realization of impermanence and for the direct realization of understanding. This, then, is perfect wisdom. Such a one should tread this path knowing that attachment and attractions are neither good nor harmful, even enlightenment is neither good nor harmful, because perfect wisdom is not meant to promote good or harm for that person. However, even though there is no intention of good or harm, it does confer endless blessing.

--Prajnaparamita

After her conviction of murder in the second degree, the District Attorney, during her sentencing hearing said, “Mrs. Grey – after you put the arsenic in the stew and served it to your husband, didn’t you feel even a little remorse for what you were doing?” “I did,” she said calmly. “And when was that?” quipped the D.A. “When he asked for seconds!” she replied.

Friends
Live your life so that you have friends you can always count on; and

live it so that you don't have to.
