A Pre-existing Condition

February 19th, 2009

Direct Answers - Column for the week of December 2, 2002

I am 25 and have been married for two years. This past August I began an affair with my husband’s younger brother. I feel just terrible and want to end the relationship, but I feel I am in a hopeless situation.

The guilt is overwhelming, and I feel I need to come clean with my husband before I can get past what I’ve done and move on. However, I’m sure you can see the conflict. Since the affair involves someone so close to my husband, I don’t know that we could ever get through this.

I don’t want to destroy the relationship between my husband and his brother, not to mention that this news would destroy their entire family. I feel like I should divorce my husband, cut off all contact with him and his brother, and live with the consequences of my actions–loneliness, guilt, and the burden of my sins. Can you please help?

Kerri

Kerri, you want to whip yourself with a cat-o’-nine-tails, but this is not something to whip yourself about. It is something to understand. There is no point in becoming just another miserable person on the planet. Too many people already fit that category.

Your affair is not the problem. The problem started before that, and it involves what you brought to the marriage. When two people have that ultimate love which everyone craves, they never forget who they are married to. Forgetting the other person would be like forgetting their own name.

If you truly loved your husband, you couldn’t have done this. If you hadn’t done something so severe, he would want to work out your differences. Your reasons for marrying this man were not sufficient to sustain the marriage. So you sought a way out.

If you decide to divorce, you owe your husband an explanation. You may want to tell him you deceived yourself about your feelings for him. If he did nothing wrong, you need to tell him that.

It is up to you whether or not you admit sleeping with his brother. The question is, Does he need his brother more than he needs to know what his brother is like?

Perhaps you don’t feel worthy of love. If that is the case, you need to explore this issue as well. The marriage you want is the opposite of what you did. Like every other human being you deserve love, not loneliness, guilt and anxiety. But until you understand why you acted, there is no way to end the cycle of doing wrong, then punishing yourself after the fact.

Silence Accepts

I have been dating Nick for over three years now. He is wonderful. One problem though. His family often makes very racist comments. Not just jokes, but mean-spirited comments. I have friends of many backgrounds, and I am deeply offended when I hear these things.

Nick does not have any racist feelings, so he is not part of the problem. At the same time, he never confronts his family about their hurtful comments. By letting his family know how I feel, I risk angering them and having them take it out on Nick, and I’d rather not do that. Should I say something?

Brooke

Brooke, some years ago I read a remark by the science writer Guy Murchie. He said that no one we see, no matter where they come from, can be less than about a fiftieth cousin to us.

Beyond that, nearly every spiritual tradition condemns this sort of prejudice. When Tamara and I run into this situation, we either speak up, or we get up and leave. People deserve to be judged on their individual merits, and remaining silent, denies our common humanity.

You and Nick are serious. You cannot allow this to continue. His family needs to understand that these remarks are unacceptable in your presence.

Acquiring Business Insurance Is Crucial to the Longevity of Your Firm

February 19th, 2009

There is no refuting the fact that the success of an organisation is because of the work done by the team, but one disaster can swiftly wipe out your work & shrink the revenue to zero. In order to avoid such a case, you are suggested to insure your firm, whether it is a small enterprise or a large corporation. Yet, please take into account that smaller businesses are somewhat more probable to require business insurance cover in today’s busy world. This is preliminary since smaller business owners will have put their complete lives & earnings into the firm. Buy public liability insurance from a regulated company today.

A handful of the items commonly guarded by most business insurance covers include: natural tragedies, volcanoes, mechanism or apparatus stoppage that closes down the company, loss of revenue owing to employee slip-up and legal cases brought against the company.

There are a great number of insurance organisations, which offer policy covers that include protection for all important property & legal risks in one entire package. You can also opt for a separate policy covers. Such a coverage is referred to as a business owners’ policy (BOP). Bigger companies might obtain a business cover.

BOPs incorporate office insurance for property and kit owned by the organisation. If there is any loss of income caused by disruption of functions & trade because of accidents such as tornadoes, it can be covered under the Business Interruption Insurance policy.

There are a variety of policies, which insure the company’s legal responsibility for the harm it could inflict to others. It is the result your organisation’s failure to do the business operations. It can as well be the physical injury or building damage caused as a result of flawed manufactured goods, faulty installations and slip-ups in services offered.

But, BOPs do not protect against professional liability, auto cover, employees’ reimbursement or health and disability cover. With this in mind, separate insurance policies are needed for professional services, commercial motor vehicles and employees. Traditionally, floods, earthquakes & terrorist attacks are not covered in the business cover. Always make sure before you purchase!

Problem Solving: The Easy Way To Solve Problems In Life

February 14th, 2009

Life is full of problems.

The more you solve them, the more new ones come up.

And you can sweep problems under the carpet or run away from them.

Wherever you go, sooner or later there will be problems for you to solve.

Since this is a fact of life, you may as well develop some skills on how to handle problems in life.

Here are some insights on how to deal with problems in life so that you may achieve success and happiness.

One of the best ways to handle problems is to have the right attitude towards them.

Sometimes problems may be blessings in disguise.

Problems may be a way that existence is trying to assist us to create opportunities for us to grow and become better human beings.

Problems can hide opportunities not only for personal growth but also to create wealth and success.

For every problem, there should be a solution.

Whenever you encounter any problem that has no solution, you may well understand that it is not a problem to begin with.

Problems are also the first step in a new invention.

Dr. Scholl’s foot medications would not be around if people had not had problems with corns, calluses and other ailments.

We wouldn’t have automobiles today if people had not had problems getting from place to place quickly.

Every single invention was created because people had problems with something, so problems can really be motivational!

Problems also help you to meet new friends. If you are recently divorced,
you may join a group and meet some wonderful friends that will bring you
into a better life than the life you were living previously.

If you have a problem getting back and forth to work, you may decide to join a carpool and save money while meeting others.

Problems also are always a learning experience. You don’t actually realize
that fire burns until you get burned with it!

Unless a problem occurs, you do not learn why something happens the way it does. You cannot change your viewpoints and opinions unless you experience problems first hand.

Problems also cause you to become active in helping others. The organization
M.A.D.D. (Mothers Against Drunk Drivers) would have never been born if the
founder didn’t lose her daughter in a car accident caused by a drunk driver.

That one death has literally changed all the drunk driving laws throughout
the United States and saved MILLIONS of lives!

Without problems, we couldn’t solve a lot of future turmoils and save people
a lot of money in business.

Any company that introduces a new product will hire people to try it out before it is introduced to the market.

These people report the problems they find and the company refines it until it’s right.

Without problems developing early in these tests, the company could never
improve and fine tune their product to perfection.

Problems and mistakes are also a blessing in disguise. For instance,
Post-It(R) Notes would never have been made possible unless the guy at

the factory didn’t mess up mixing the glue recipe.

Sure, this is an isolated incident, but it shows just how important mistakes and problems can be.

However, most people have some perceived notion that making a mistake or
having a problem is “bad.”

Instead of looking for ways to SOLVE the problem, they try to live with it, cover it up or condition themselves to accept it.

This is silly! There is no problem that can’t be solved. There is a solution
to every single problem you can think of.

The solution may not always be what you want it to be but it’s a solution just the same.

And covering it up is like putting a piece of foil over a piece of spoiled
meat and expecting it not to draw maggots.

You have to dispose of the entire thing before you are finally rid of the problem.

Attack the core of the problem! Dig until you uncover it! Face facts! Admit you have problems!

Stop trying to make people think you are problem-free. It’s unnatural!

When you solve a problem that most people try to avoid or can’t solve, you get recognition and their admiration.

You may become a hero or heroine.

So, next time you have a problem, look at it logically and with enthusiasm.

That may sound a little strange but most problems can be dealt with this way.

Love the fact that you have problems because they will give you something to work on and solve.

They also will give you a way to invent new ways of doing something, new ways that will save you time and make you happier with your life.

And when you solve problems, you not only gain experience in solving other problems as they occur, but you build respect for yourself.

Then you can have the admiration of all those people who encountered the same problems but didn’t do anything to solve them.

You also will find that when you look at problems with a POSITIVE mind, you
will accomplish more, relieve stress and succeed.

May these insights about problem solving help you to succeed in life and be all you can be.

Warmly,

To Clark A. Smith [Arriving in Hell]

February 12th, 2009

When CAS, made his decent,
(Paid his toll, before he left
Earth’s crust)
Proud he was when he appeared
At dock #666 Hell’s Northern Pier.

There stood Satan himself
Opening the gates, “Drop the oars,”
He said, formal and brief: “You are
Amongst friends, the Dead, who
Never die, nor ever sleep…!” And
His ten-wings snapped insanely.

There was the Henchman, Agaliarept
Ruler of an army in Hell; he leaped to
His feet, held out his handsaw the
Scorn on his face, said:
“Welcome, you are home my friend!”

His eyesvile, a hoary-red; he
Stepped up onto the dock, over the
Ash-dark canopy (called a sky)
Saw Satan taking off his ten-winged
Ring, said: with a whisper to CAS:
“Wake thy eyes, and make me a
poem that will never die…!”

#1122 1/29/06

Note: Clark A. Smith, was of the old stock, yet he rose above his day, and went from
Imagery poetry, such as George Sterling used, who was Smith’s teacher, and that of Robinson Jeffers, and Lovecraft, along with Baudelaire, to cosmic and fantasy. He perhaps went as deep, if not deeper than Poe. From symbolism to modernism; he did adjust to the times, but he also would not leave what was considered leaving the demonic roots of imaginative freedom Pure Poetry allowed.

I am sure if I had asked Mr. Smith, had the chance to edit this poem, he would perhaps have himself sitting down with Robert Howard, Lovecraft, and Satan himself, at a dinner table talking about verse, meter and other elements of poetry. And would tell me: I’m too soft with the imagery.

Bound in Bundles

February 12th, 2009

“…The life of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of the living in the care of the Lord your God…” (1 Samuel 25:29 RSV). “Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn” (Matthew 13:30 ).

“The bundle of the living is the precious package of those for whom the Lord cares” (Oxford Annotated Bible). We slip out of the bundle when we insist on going our own way. Our self-assertion pokes a needle through the seal of love God has so carefully wrapped around us; finally and slowly, out seeps the preserving fluid of God’s Living Water. We can’t understand why we are in a dry land of self and left to face the world alone.

Life is bound in bundles, starting with our family. There is no island, physical or spiritual or mental, where we can isolate our “self,” much as we wish it at times. God has declared that we shall not live alone (Genesis 2:18). Our growth depends on and is proved by our ability to bundle with–to get along with–others. Every person who touches our day becomes bound with us and we with them. It’s a grand concept that should help us to interact with loving concern for all.

We are bound in bundles with all who have come before us, too, for we share in their genes and their ideas. Every time we read a great book, we are bound with the author. We are bound to the past and bound to respect the past, as well. If not, we are indeed doomed to repeat the mistakes that have caused weeds of war and wrong to proliferate through this poor, sad world.

O Father, help us to remember that we are your precious possession, wrapped in Your bundle that we may not be lost!

Can YOU Come Out and Play

February 11th, 2009

When was the last time you caught a snowflake on your tongue or let snowflakes coat your eyelashes? Sound like fun?

It is!

Last weekend I was up at my favorite coffee house when it began to snow and snow hard. It was an amazing and welcomed event…until last weekend we had not seen any sign of moisture for 143 days and where I live in Arizona, snow is rare.

Not only was the snow a beautiful sight to see, but what was even more beautiful was watching 30 adults (myself included) darting in and out of the snow…catching snowflakes on our tongues and on our eyelashes, giggling and laughing like little children. The result was energizing and uplifting!!

It was then that I was reminded of how important it is to stay in touch with our child sides. (You know the part of each if us that loves to do silly things and enjoys being playful.) We all have the capability to be child-like and it is more than OK to embrace that side of yourself, letting it come out and play. Heck, it is what keeps us young and helps us to recharge our batteries.

So, can you come out and play?

I challenge you to…

have a snowball fight or make a snow angel (if you have snow)…
turn some cartwheels…
sit on the floor and play jacks…
skip down the sidewalk…
jump rope…
sing and dance in the middle of your living room…
spin in circles until you get dizzy

Whatever you choose to do, have fun, re-energize, because you deserve it!! Oh, and one more thing, try and make a play date with yourself on a regular basis. I promise you, you will be glad you did.

Life is Art

February 10th, 2009

In my years teaching people to be successful, I have seen that basically people break their lives down in to two major parts: Wealth-building and the rest of their lives. Having done a lot of reflection on these two topics - wealth and life - I am coming to some new conclusions about how to perceive the two.

Until recently I thought that there was a significant difference in how we should tackle the two areas. In fact, I thought that the two topics should be addressed in almost opposite fashion.

You see, wealth-building is just math. While life — Life is art.

Think back with me to high school. Most of us were required to take math and most of us probably took art as well.

Now, think about your final exams in the two areas. Your math paper was graded on hard facts:

Ten times ten is always one-hundred
Thirty divided by three is always ten
Seven plus seven is always fourteen
Fifty minus twenty-five is always twenty-five

There is always just one answer in math. The answers are hard fact, set in stone. Math is a science. It is formulaic. You can know the outcome before it happens, every time.

But what about your final art project? Art is much more subjective. “Beauty,” they say, “is in the eye of the beholder.” There is no one right answer.

Think of the different styles of the famous artists:

Renoir
Monet
Picasso
Rockwell
Warhol

Different people find different styles beautiful, and that is what makes art, art.

So how does this fit with Wealth-building and life? Wealth-building is like math:

If you add $1000 to your retirement account each month and gain seven percent interest over twenty years, you can know now how much you will have then. It is math. If you buy a rental property for $200,000 now and it increases in value by three percent a year, you know exactly how much you will be able to sell it for in ten years. The beauty of math is in the knowing. You can work the system, set it on auto-pilot and the math does the work for you, and you know the outcome.

But life? Life is art. And that is the beauty of life. You do not know how it is going to turn out. Life, like art, is always changing. Different people provide different colors. When you make a mistake you can go back, erase it or even paint right over it. You can change the scenery. Life, like art, is ever evolving, and what looks good to one person is of no interest to another. And that is what makes life beautiful.

Another lesson I think we can draw is that in life we should do our math, of course, but life isn’t made up of just wealth-building. Wealth-building should serve our ability to live our lives. Jesus, the master teacher, said that our lives are not made up of the abundance of our possessions. He didn’t mean that possessions aren’t good, just that wealth isn’t what life is all about.

So let me ask you: Are you spending more time on your math or your art? Do your math. Everybody should do their very best at their wealth-building plan so they can take care of themselves and their families.

But life is about the art. What does your canvas look like? What kind of picture are you painting? What kind of pot are you creating? What kind of statue are you sculpting? Take your time, make bold strokes, use brilliant colors, and make of your life the most beautiful masterpiece that you can.

In other words, do your math so you can focus on your art.

To Your Success,
Jim Rohn
