Recommended Website and Radio Show: John Tesh's "Intelligence For Your Life"

If you already listen to Intelligence for Your Life on your radio, then you will definitely want to keep up with expert advice from the website. See the links below this article by Ben Harris. Discover ways for a happier, healthy life. Expert advice regarding relationships, love and more are available.

Written by: Ben Harris




The experts agree: It’s easy to be happy. Here’s a list of things we need to give up in order to gain happiness:
  • First, let go of your need for CONTROL. Trying to control people, situations and events in our lives is exhausting, and adds stress. You can’t control anything but your own actions. So accept people and situations for who and what they are. And if you don’t like something, change yourself, your reactions or expectations.
  • Also, give up COMPLAINING and BLAMING. When you blame someone else, you're saying you have no power over your own life. Stop blaming and complaining, and start taking responsibility. Nothing can make us unhappy unless we allow it to.
  • Another thing we need to give up to be happy:The need to ALWAYS BE RIGHT. Educator and author Wayne Dyer put it this way: “Would you rather be right, or would you rather be kind?” Because people who always feel the need to prove they’re right and others are wrong usually bring stress and pain to their relationships.
  • We also need to stop CRITICIZING. Because criticism is just another way of saying other people don’t think, act, or look the same as you do. And experts say the reality is that we’re all different. So, get over it. The sooner you accept that fact, the sooner you’ll be happy.
  • The next thing we need to give up to be happy:The need to impress other people. Because trying to be something you’re not is a lot of work. Actors get paid big bucks to do that, but when we do it, it generally just stresses us out. Instead, embrace the real you, and others will be drawn to you.
  • Finally: Give up your FEAR. When Franklin D. Roosevelt said: “The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself”, he was referring to the fact that fear doesn’t really exist. It’s actually something we create in our minds that holds us back from taking action. But the sooner you find what makes you happy and do it, regardless of what other people think or that you might fail, the sooner you’ll be happy.

How Our Pets Can Make Us Happy And Healthy


  DID YOU KNOW THAT MORE OF US ARE ADOPTING PETS THESE DAYS THAN EVER BEFORE?  IN FACT, PET OWNERSHIP IS RISING FASTEST AMONG SINGLE PEOPLE, THOSE WHO HAVE NEVER BEEN MARRIED, OR WHO ARE WIDOWED, SEPARATED AND DIVORCED. 



AND WITH PEOPLE LIVING FURTHER AWAY FROM FAMILY AND INTERACTING MOSTLY ELECTRONICALLY WITH FRIENDS, OUR PETS MAY END UP BEING THE CLOSEST RELATIONSHIPS WE HAVE, AND THAT MAY NOT BE A BAD THING ACCORDING TO VETERINARIAN DR. PATTY COOLEY, WHO SAYS PETS MAKE GREAT PARTNERS.  


FIRST, SHE SAYS OUR PETS LOVE US JUST THE WAY WE ARE, EVEN IF WE’RE OVERWEIGHT, WEAR SWEATS ALL DAY, AND NEVER DO THE DISHES. ALSO, OUR DOGS AND CATS DON’T CARE IF WE’VE BEEN LAID OFF OR JUST GOT DUMPED.  IN FACT, IF YOU WALLOW ON THE COUCH IN MISERY FOR DAYS, THEY’LL BE THRILLED TO GET MORE ONE ON ONE TIME WITH YOU.  


ANOTHER REASON PETS ARE GREAT PARTNERS, THEY’RE THE BEST LISTENERS IN THE WORLD, WHETHER YOU’RE DEALING WITH A BAD DAY AT WORK, A JEALOUS FRIEND, OR A FENDER BENDER.  AND JUST TALKING TO THEM LOWERS OUR HEART RATE AND STRESS HORMONES. PETS DON’T EVEN MIND IF YOU TALK WITH YOUR MOUTH FULL.  IN FACT, THEY’RE ESPECIALLY GOOD LISTENERS IF WE HAPPEN TO BE EATING SOMETHING.  


ANOTHER REASON PETS ARE GREAT FOR US.  IF YOU NEED EXERCISE, DOGS ARE EAGER TO COME ALONG, AND THEY’LL NEVER CRITIQUE YOUR FORM OR TELL YOU TO RUN FASTER.  


AND THE FINAL REASON PETS ARE TERRIFIC PARTNERS, THEY’LL NEVER LEAVE AN EMPTY MILK CARTON IN THE FRIDGE, LOCK US OUT OF THE BATHROOM, BORROW THE CAR WITHOUT ASKING, OR COMMANDEER THE TV REMOTE. 


IT’S INTELLIGENCE FOR YOUR LIFE!

Sinead O' Connor Letter to Miley Cyrus in Regards to Wrecking Ball Video


Sinead O’Connor’s Remarkable Open Letter To Miley Miley Billy Ray Cyruspon hearing that Miley Cyrus had cited her as an influence, Sinead O’Connor was compelled to reach out to the younger pop star in an open letter. O’Connor, no stranger to controversy, the pitfalls of stardom, or the dark and manipulative side of the music industry, has taken the opportunity to warn Cyrus not to let herself be exploited. O’Connor slams in particular the “Wrecking Ball” video, in which Cyrus appears nude, licking a sledgehammer and riding an actual wrecking ball. We can’t pretend to be impartial here, it is a disturbing and debasing clip. We’ll let O’Connor take it from here (h/t to our friends at Vanyaland):


OPEN LETTER TO MILEY CYRUS (Language)


"Dear Miley,

I wasn’t going to write this letter, but today i’ve been dodging phone calls from various newspapers who wished me to remark upon your having said in Rolling Stone your Wrecking Ball video was designed to be similar to the one for Nothing Compares… So this is what I need to say… And it is said in the spirit of motherliness and with love.

I am extremely concerned for you that those around you have led you to believe, or encouraged you in your own belief, that it is in any way ‘cool’ to be naked and licking sledgehammers in your videos. It is in fact the case that you will obscure your talent by allowing yourself to be pimped, whether its the music business or yourself doing the pimping.

Nothing but harm will come in the long run, from allowing yourself to be exploited, and it is absolutely NOT in ANY way an empowerment of yourself or any other young women, for you to send across the message that you are to be valued (even by you) more for your sexual appeal than your obvious talent.

I am happy to hear I am somewhat of a role model for you and I hope that because of that you will pay close attention to what I am telling you.

The music business doesn’t give a shit about you, or any of us. They will prostitute you for all you are worth, and cleverly make you think its what YOU wanted.. and when you end up in rehab as a result of being prostituted, ‘they’ will be sunning themselves on their yachts in Antigua, which they bought by selling your body and you will find yourself very alone.

None of the men oggling you give a shit about you either, do not be fooled. Many’s the woman mistook lust for love. If they want you sexually that doesn’t mean they give a fuck about you. All the more true when you unwittingly give the impression you don’t give much of a fuck about yourself. And when you employ people who give the impression they don’t give much of a fuck about you either. No one who cares about you could support your being pimped.. and that includes you yourself.

Yes, I’m suggesting you don’t care for yourself. That has to change. You ought be protected as a precious young lady by anyone in your employ and anyone around you, including you. This is a dangerous world. We don’t encourage our daughters to walk around naked in it because it makes them pray [sic] for animals and less than animals (a distressing majority of whom work in the music industry and the associated media).

You are worth more than your body or your sexual appeal. The world of showbiz doesn’t see things that way, they like things to be seen the other way, whether they are magazines who want you on their cover, or whatever.. Don’t be under any illusions.. ALL of them want you because they’re making money off your youth and your beauty.. which they could not do except for the fact your youth makes you blind to the evils of show business. If you have an innocent heart you can’t recognise those who do not.



I repeat, you have enough talent that you don’t need to let the music business make a prostitute of you. You shouldn’t let them make a fool of you either. Don’t think for a moment that any of them give a flying fuck about you. They’re there for the money.. we’re there for the music. It has always been that way and it will always be that way. The sooner a young lady gets to know that, the sooner she can be REALLY in control.

You also said in Rolling Stone that your look is based on mine. The look I chose, I chose on purpose at a time when my record company were encouraging me to do what you have done. I felt I would rather be judged on my talent and not my looks. I am happy that I made that choice, not least because I do not find myself on the proverbial rag heap now that I am almost 47 yrs of age.. which unfortunately many female artists who have based their image around their sexuality, end up on when they reach middle age.

Real empowerment of yourself as a woman would be to in future refuse to exploit your body or your sexuality in order for men to make money from you. I needn’t even ask the question.. I’ve been in the business long enough to know that men are making more money than you are from you getting naked. Its really not at all cool. And its sending dangerous signals to other young women. Please in future say no when you are asked to prostitute yourself. Your body is for you and your boyfriend. It isn’t for every spunk-spewing dirtbag on the net, or every greedy record company executive to buy his mistresses diamonds with.

As for the shedding of the Hannah Montana image.. whoever is telling you getting naked is the way to do that does absolutely NOT respect your talent, or you as a young lady. Your records are good enough for you not to need any shedding of Hannah Montana. She’s waaaaaaay gone by now.. Not because you got naked but because you make great records.

Whether we like it or not, us females in the industry are role models and as such we have to be extremely careful what messages we send to other women. The message you keep sending is that its somehow cool to be prostituted.. its so not cool Miley.. its dangerous. Women are to be valued for so much more than their sexuality. we aren’t merely objects of desire. I would be encouraging you to send healthier messages to your peers.. that they and you are worth more than what is currently going on in your career. Kindly fire any motherfucker who hasn’t expressed alarm, because they don’t care about you."

  • I was listening to the news last night regarding Nation Wide Health Care.... I don't get it - why would anyone fight this?
    Wouldn't it be the most wonderful thing if every woman - man - child had an opportunity to have medical care?
    I have friends in Canada and I have never heard them complain about their Nation Wide Health Care once.... We have state wide health care in Minnesota called MN Care - I used it before, no complaints.....
    So why can't this group of adult politicians sit down and make this happen for us? Seems there's only one party not in agreement.... and that's the party getting the reimbursement/support from the pharmaceutical & such companies....
    It really makes you wonder who we should believe.... the ones that are standing up for "We the People" or the ones representing one of the wealthiest corporation scams in America....
    Just saying.....
