You are a careful person, and your choices are consistently prudent ones. You do not say or do things that you might later regret.

Curiosity is taking an interest in ongoing experience for its own sake, and finding new subjects and topics fascinating. It is exploring and discovering. Curiosity, interest, novelty- seeking, and openness to experience represent an intrinsic desire for experience and knowledge. It is fulfilling to find an answer, have a new experience, or learn a new fact. This strength can carry someone beyond openness to new experiences into actions associated with personal growth. Curiosity has a developmental trajectory: curious children tend to become curious adults. Because curiosity can never be satisfied in the same way twice, it is fueled in both positive and negative ways. It may take the form of constantly asking questions, but not all questions are appropriate in all situations.

Today's quote is from The Religion of God (Divine Love) by His Divine Eminence RA Gohar Shahi. 'Any name alluding to God is worthy of respect and it directs one towards God.'

She says....My passion is to help you identify the root of the problem so you can move past it by learning what triggered it . I suffered from anxiety and panic most of my life and I am grateful to say with (natural) self care, I continue to practice, have kept it at bay for several years. I am proof you can turn obstacles into opportunities, so lets do it together!
Humility is not to think less of oneself but to think of oneself less.
A common misconception is that humility involves having a low self-esteem, a sense of unworthiness, and/or a lack of self-focus. However, true humility involves an accurate self-assessment, recognition of limitations, keeping accomplishments in perspective, and forgetting of the self. Humble people do not distort information to defend or verify their own image, and they do not need to see-or present- themselves as being better than they actually are.

Note: this was published in an undated (early Aug 2011) blog titled "Table Tennis Tips for Beginners," even though the photo obviously has nothing to do with table tennis. Or any other kind of tennis.
Moving into 2012, the photo was published in a May 19, 2012 blog titled "Can Best Friends Really End Up Together?"
Moving into 2013, the photo was published in a Dec 23, 2013 blog titled "Football Practice (1968)."
********************
I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit that, until last night, I had never been to a professional football game in my life. Baseball, basketball, and tennis: yes, of course. High-school and college football games: sure, though that was a long time ago. Indeed, the last college football game I watched (in person) was in the mid-60s, when I was invited to the annual Harvard-Yale game by a Radcliffe student I had begun dating -- a development to which my MIT college roommate reacted, in shock, by howling, "Radcliffe? You're dating a Cliffie? She must be a pig!" After which he pulled out his flute, every time he thought she might be present when he returned to our off-campus apartment, and played "Old McDonald Had a Farm" until he collapsed in gales of laughter on the stairwell. Highly inaccurate, I hasten to note, and totally unfair. But I digress...
Anyway, a freelance writer, Mitch Ligon (whose photo you can see here in one of my Flickr sets), invited me to accompany him last night to the New York Jets - Philadelphia Eagles game out in the New Jersey Meadowlands -- another first-time experience. I was given a photographer's press pass, which gave me access to the locker rooms, press box, various other "inner sanctum" locations ... and, most important, the football field itself. I was given a red jersey to wear, told to stay outside the yellow dashed lines that ring the field, and turned loose for the evening. I felt somewhat inadequate, because I knew that the "real" professional photographers would be equipped with high-cameras and monstrous telephoto lenses beyond anything I had ever touched, or could possibly afford; and even though my Nikon D300 and 70-300mm zoom lens is fairly respectable in amateur circles, I had no idea if I would be able to take any decent photos at all...
The other problem is that I know little or nothing about the nuances of football, beyond the obvious fact that the quarterback either passes the ball, or hands off to someone who attempts to run the ball downfield. Punts and field-goal kicks are also a familiar concept, but if you don't have a good anticipatory sense of who is about to do what to whom, it's easy to miss the "moment" when the perfect shot might be available. Also, I didn't really know anything about the players, aside from the respective star quarterbacks: Philadelphia's controversial Michael Vick, and New York's newly-named starting quarterback, Mark Sanchez. I had looked at the team rosters on the Internet before the game, so at least I knew their jersey numbers (#6 for Sanchez, and #7 for Vick, as you'll see in the photos) -- but the "action" was often so far away (at the other end of the field) that I couldn't tell whether the starting quarterback, or one of the substitutes, was making the plays.
Nevertheless, by the beginning of the second quarter I was feeling a little more comfortable -- if only because I found it easy to follow along behind the other professional photographers as they marched (or ran) from one end of the field to the other, in order to get their equipment set up for what they expected would be the next great shot. By the end of the game, I had taken 1,100+ photos, including several of Michael Vick in a post-game locker-room interview; and from the sound of the clickety-click-clack of my fellow photographers, I could tell that many of them had taken several thousand. I'll spare you the technical details of my feeble attempts to get some decent shots; I had picked up some good tips from the sports-photography chapter of Scott Kelby's Digital Photography, and I did my best within the limitations of my equipment and my lack of familiarity with the situation.
What impressed me most about the whole experience was the scale of modern professional football -- the scale of everything. It's one thing to read that there are 80,000 people in a football stadium; it's another thing to actually be there and hear the simultaneous roar of those 80,000 people as a quarterback is sacked or a long pass is completed. It's one thing to read that a professional football player is 6 feet, 5 inches tall and weighs 350 pounds; it's another thing to stand next to several dozen such giants. Heck, I thought there were only 20 or 30 such giants on each team; I had no idea that there were 64 of them (a number which will be pared down as the pre-season comes to an end), or that there might be 20-30 different coaches. And then there are the hundreds of "staff members" scurrying around all over the place, carrying out their various duties and assignments; and there are the security guards and State Police, who spent most of the time scanning the stadium crowd rather than watching the players, presumably watching for scuffles or fights or ... well, who knows what. There are cheerleaders too, in this case bearing the official name of New York Jets Flight Crew; I had expected half a dozen, but there were two dozen perky, long-haired beauties, with permanently frozen smiles, who who danced and pranced before the crowd at every conceivable opportunity.
All of this has resulted in the photos you'll see in this album. I had to delete roughly a hundred of my original images, because they were out of focus, or because a referee decided to walk in front of my camera at the wrong moment; and another 900 were "okay," but not terribly exciting. I'm sure that none of them are as crisp, sharp, and well-composed as those taken by the Sports Illustrated photographer and the other professionals on the field; but I did end up with 72 "keepers" that I hope you'll enjoy...
... and, yes, I probably will attend another football game or two in the years ahead. Whether I'm lucky enough to get down on the field again is anyone's guess....
Appreciation of Beauty and Excellence involves noticing and appreciating these attributes in various domains, from nature to art, to mathematics, to science, to everyday experiences. Appreciation of beauty and excellence refers to the ability to find, recognize, and take pleasure in the existence of goodness in the physical and social worlds. People high in this strength frequently feel awe and related emotions, including admiration and wonder, while walking in the woods or in a city, while reading novels, while learning about people’s lives, and while watching sports or movies. They are responsive to all forms of beauty and are able to see beauty where many people overlook it. Another type of beauty that this strength engenders is moral beauty; when goodness displayed as kindness, compassion, forgiveness, etc. is observed, this character strength leads to the transcendent emotion of elevation in which the person feels struck by the goodness he or she has witnessed and experiences a motivation to act virtuously and good because of it.

Be A Colorful Character Even If It's All Black & White Around You - IMRAN™
Life is not black and white. As I always say, it has fifty million shades of grey. But, here is what I try to teach. Even when surrounded by an increasingly polarized world, I try to be a colorful character.
I try to add color to the lives of those who see it only in Black and White. I call it as it is, Black or White, or a nuanced grey.
But more than anything, I love filling the parched canvases of my beloveds with the sweet paints of love, passion, desire, joy, happiness and appreciation, with every powerful stroke of my brush.
Feel my color of love coat you completely, in silk sheets of black night, or in the bright white of day on a soft sandy beach.

Photage 132: Today is a day to live in gratitude. When we live in gratitude, then the past becomes valuable experiences, the future fills with hope, and the present is full of meaning. Wishing you a Thanksgiving holiday filled with gratitude!
**ParenTeen Challenge**
Parents, what are you willing to be grateful for your teen for? And teens, what are you willing to be grateful for in your parents? I invite you to think about it, search your heart, and share what you find with one another. It feels amazing to be appreciated!
Behaviorally, self-regulation is the ability to act in your long-term best interest, consistent with your deepest values. (Violation of one's deepest values causes guilt, shame, and anxiety, which undermine well being.) Emotionally, self-regulation is the ability to calm yourself down when you're upset and cheer yourself up when you're down.

Perseverance is sticking with things. It is finishing what one starts, persisting in a course of action in spite of obstacles, taking pleasure in completing tasks. Perseverance involves the mustering of one’s will in the face of contrary impulses. It is not fear that threatens action, but boredom, tedium, frustration, and difficulty. Perseverance is not laziness, giving up, losing heart, losing interest, or taking shortcuts. Studies have shown that when people think they will succeed, they persist longer at both easy and difficult tasks. Persistent people are likely to have an internal locus of control and are more likely to attribute failure to lack of effort than to bad luck, creating a greater sense of personal control.

'There is no harm in being a quiet person, but when you are required to speak, then you must speak.' - His Holiness Younus AlGohar
Religiousness and spirituality refer to the conviction that there is a nonphysical (transcendent) dimension to life. They refer to having coherent beliefs about the higher purpose and meaning of the universe, having beliefs about where one fits within the larger scheme, and having beliefs about the meaning of life that shapes our actions and provides comfort. Transcendence includes those strengths that connect us to the larger universe. One’s beliefs are the filter applied to everyday experiences, influencing relationships and the determination of what is ultimately meaningful. Religiousness and spirituality are universal. Spirituality is believed to describe both the private, intimate relationship between humans and the divine and the range of virtues that result from that relationship. Religiousness is an individual’s degree of acceptance of the prescribed beliefs associated with the worship of a divine figure, and that individual’s participation in public and private acts of worship.

Kindness is the pervasive tendency to be nice to people. Kindness is compassion, concern for the welfare of others, a propensity to do favors for them, to take care of them, and to perform good deeds. Acts of kindness may be expressed in fleeting acts directed towards strangers and in profound acts directed to friends and family. Kind people go beyond smiles and pleasantries and choose to go out of their way to assist others in unfortunate circumstances. There is a real caring and concern for others. Kindness has a powerful effect on others. Research has shown that merely seeing someone else act in an altruistic way leads others to do the same, at least in the short run. An altruist intentionally acts for another’s sake as an end in itself. Those who score high for kindness will likely score high in other-oriented emotions and strengths and may have a sophisticated and developed ability for moral reasoning. It is also likely that they have a personal ethic of responsibility to care for the welfare of others.
