Life's little secret

moderndayhippie (56) in philosophy •  11 hours ago

Over the past year I have been on a journey to find true happiness and I've learned some pretty cool things about life along the way. I didn't know where to start this journey or how to get where I wanted to go, but damnit I was determined to do it! I knew if I just kept moving forward everyday, bettering myself constantly, the future me would be a much happier person.

When you start trying to find happiness and begin chasing your dreams your whole life will change for the better. Yes, it will be hard and there will be many days when you want to give up because it is hard to go against the norm. But trust me when I tell you the rewards far outweigh any potential negatives. Not only can your dreams come true, but you also will find your passion in life and that is what will make you truly happy... but that's only if you follow what you love.
Someone once said to me:

you can fail at what you don't want, so you might as well try at something you do want.

What I think he meant was, yes I can stay in this "secure" job that has benefits but whose not to say that one day I won't get fired or the company doesn't go out of business or a natural disaster or whatever unforeseen event occurs. You can't control the outcome of life, so you might as well try doing what you love and just enjoy the ride. That way if you fail, at least it was at something you felt was worth trying.

Truest advice I could ever give you is once you find your passion in life, master it. Don't ever worry about the money, I promise you that it will come if you master your passion. So stop worrying about what any job pays and start worrying about what makes you happy, because life will pay you if you find your happiness.

There are many old quotes that people don't realize are totally true about life. These little secrets are all around you, you just have to pay closer attention to what is being said. I am sure most of you have heard atleast some of these sayings:

Life doesn't really happen to you, life happens for you.

If you can see it in your mind, you can hold it in your hand.

If you learn to change how you see your life, your life will change.

Ask and you shall receive.

These quotes and so many more like it are everywhere. But for some reason people have stopped paying attention to them?
What I'm trying to say is there are signs everywhere around you, pointing you towards happiness if you just take the time to see them. Think outside the box if you want to find happiness. It is not going to be easy, there is no prescription drug to get there. You are going to have to work at it, like a muscle, everyday. Truth is most people who try to give you advice on happiness aren't even happy themselves, to me that seems like the wrong person to get advice from.

Im not saying I know much but the secret I have found to life is Everything good in life is free! That's it, that's the secret!
I know this sounds tacky but it is so true it is ridiculous. Laughter, love, happiness, joy, family, friends, relationships and beauty are all free. We don't need to buy all this extra stuff we have these days, we just need to appreciate what we already have more. Things don't equal happiness!

The entire beauty of this world surrounds us. Do yourself a favor and take the time to stop and look around one day, actually appreciate the magnificence of nature. The sunrise and sunset, the mountains, the forests, and the oceans are always truly amazing to enjoy, the beauty of this world is everywhere! And guess what, it's all free!

Have you ever listened to older generations talk about life? If you do you'll realize that they rarely talk about the size of their homes, the cars they have owned or the money they have made throughout life. No, they always seem to talk about family, friends, life experiences and love. All of which are free! They have all been through the same journey that we are on and have learned one of the best secrets to life without most of them even realizing it: the greatest parts of life are always free! We humans have just made life so confusing we have forgotten that.

So stop worrying about the Mercedes and mansions and just worrying about smiling and being happy, because the truly important things in life are Free!

New York Metropolitan Museum: tourists will now have to pay the entrance

rezzouk.elabiad (50) in museum •  12 hours ago

It's a fifty-year-old tradition that is disappearing. It will no longer be possible to return for free to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Until now, a rule has prevailed: pay what you want. Admittedly, the suggested price was 25 $ ; Of course, you had to wait in line at the ticket counter and assume that you did not want to pay the full price to enter the museum.

Nevertheless, since 1970, you could visit the museum according to your financial means. The new rule, announced Thursday, January 4, will apply from March 1 and is essentially for tourists, since residents of New York State can continue to pay the obole they like. Mandatory paying entry will affect 31% of visitors to the museum.

17% of visitors pay the suggested price.
This decision was announced by Daniel Weiss, CEO of the Metropolitan Museum, who has been striving to restore the museum's finances over the last two years. Inflows account for only 14% of revenues (out of a budget of about $ 300 million), and the share of people who paid 25 $ divided by four, from 63% to 17% since 2004.

The average price paid by the visitors was only 9 $, Weiss said in an interview in Le Monde at the end of December, tourists paying more than New Yorkers.

The museum, however, has developed a membership policy (9% of the museum's revenue), which pays 100 $ for the year and invites a guest for each visit. As a result, by adding schools, 41% of visitors do not pay when they enter the museum.

Above all, the temporary exhibitions do not give rise to additional invoicing: it is currently possible to admire four major exhibitions (Michelangelo's drawings, an Edvard Munch retrospective, a Rodin exhibition and an Edward Hopper retrospective). Mr. Weiss refused to return to this practice. Paying for temporary exhibitions, according to his expression, favored "blockbuster exhibitions", which are not in the tradition of the museum and would penalize New Yorkers, who come more frequently.

New York City, which funds 10% of the museum's budget, will reduce its contribution by 3 millions $.

Intimate revelations of stars

red-rose (41) in life •  7 days ago

As a rule, celebrities try to keep their private life secret, so it's rather difficult to find out the juicy details about famous personalities. However, some stars do not hesitate to share their intimate preferences with the public.

Kate Hudson

How the actress shares, in her life, sexual energy plays an important role. In addition, the celebrity often talked about sex with her parents, and could consult with her mother on some issues. At the same time, Hudson added that she prefers to be given only to someone she is in love with.

Kim Cattrall

The star of the series "Sex and the City" is a bit like your screen heroine, because in the intimate terms she considers herself to be quite liberated. Most importantly, the actress is convinced, it is to love yourself, which she had to learn for a long time. So, sometimes she even bare herself in front of the mirror, studying her body and trying to understand him.

Robert Downey Jr. The

Star of the "Iron Man" once told reporters that at a younger age he was too addicted to self-gratification. Masturbating actor could in the most unexpected circumstances, and did it very often.

Drake

The rap singer somehow shared the reasons why he decided to give up promiscuity. At some point in his career, he found a woman in every city where he went on tour, but after an orgasm he felt exhausted, and wished that next to him was someone with whom he did not even want to talk.

Eva Mendes The

actress shared with the press that she was helped by the journey to gain new sensations in sex.

In the more recent years, the celebrity managed to surrender to passion in almost every state in the United States, but, the star suggests, perhaps the whole thing was in the fresh air.

Jennifer Lawrence

A young actress in her life does not look like a modest girl and has the glory of a brawler, but admits she is embarrassed by the frank scenes on the screen. In particular, during the participation in the film "Passengers" her partner in the set was Chris Pratt, and she was embarrassed to kiss a married man.

Lady Gaga

On the stage, this star behaves shockingly and uninhibitedly, and it seems that nothing is able to embarrass her. She confessed that she once managed to have sex right in the back seat of a taxi, and she liked this experience. The singer is sure that good sex should be spontaneous.

Christian Bale

A famous actor, impressed by his transformations for the sake of the role, admits that he does not like pretense in girls, preferring naturalness.

In his opinion, there is nothing less attractive than a woman who makes a lot of effort to seem sexy.

Amy Schumer

Comedian and movie actress, like some of her colleagues, on the screen does not seem constrained during the frank scenes. However, in real life, Amy Schumer has its limitations in intimacy, for example, before closeness she always turns off the light in her bedroom.

10 Golden must do rules, before buying a COIN

mcurly (47) in cryptocurrency •  3 hours ago

Here are 10 things I think you should do before buying cryptocurrencies

I have been thinking about how to make my trading more efficient and I came up with this.

1. Obviously, the first step would be to find a coin you think you could trust
2. Take a look at its website
3. Learn about the technology it supports
4. Make sure to find whitepaper, and at least open it ;)
5. Go to Reddit! Twitter etc. Read at least a few articles about it so you can see what people think/ talk about your coin -to- be
6. Think about your decision, do you like what you see? Do you trust in the project? Would you HODL if it went down for more than 50%?
   If not, I'm sorry your coin is probably classified as ShitCoin, (as most of them),
   Abort mission! Return to step 1) and try again
7. Make sure not to buy on the day it went like 50% up, that's not a good decision, wait for it to calm down, corrections after big gains are likely to happen
8. Find an exchange you trust, register, wait for your account to be verified it might take a while. Oh, that might be step 0, but I don't recommend you that if you are buying for the first time. While you wait for your account, make sure to follow what's happening with the coins you want to buy, this will eliminate !some! bad decisions you might make as a new player.
9. This step is important!! Get the money you want to invest, think about it, do you need it? would you throw it in the toilette? If the first one is NO and the second one is YES, you are ready to go! Crypto market is a wild thing, you don't want to invest funds you will need for food the next day.
10. Looks like you are ready to go, buy your ideal Coin and kiss your transaction goodbye, since you most likely won't be getting the gains you were hoping for!

And a bonus:

MAKE SURE: Don't let go, remember you trust in your coin, corrections happen, HODL it's going to be worth a fortune one day !

That's how I do it, I'm not saying that you should do the same, but just wanted you to read it :)

Good luck with the trading!
And for those of you who think I'm trying to make you not buy the coins, yes I am.
But not because you wouldn't be able to earn on cryptomarket, but because the gains are HUGE but the losses might be even bigger, That is why you need to think about your decisions twice.

If you liked my article, please share it, like it, let the people of Steem see it :)

Take care friends!

p.s. buy the dip, you know how it goes ;)

How to convert from steem to payeer or PM or PAYPAL easily without any risk? BEST FOR ARABS , INDIANS, PAKISTANI , BANGLADESH ASIANS AND CHINESE

red-rose (40) in steem •  34 seconds ago

I will be short in my post as I have tested this method many times and it is not risky and the exchange party does not need from you any verifications .

FOR ARABS USE SYSTEM 2

FOR INDIANS AND ASIANS USE SYSTEM 1 AND 2

Well there are two exchange websites I have been tested them for many times and they are honest not fake and not scam

They will charge you very simple fees and i promise you that you will be happy.

one process is very fast , let me say within 2 minutes your steem will be funded into your ewallet or payeer, advcash or PM.

the second process is longer , let me say in 2 days, but this system for arabs , and middle east people, where you can get your money from steem to PAYPAL and many other systems and ewallets

but I must warn you all, do not try to use conversion to visa or master cards in these 2 systems as they are from russia and we in asia and middle east mainly arabs our credit cards issued from USA so the trx will not be correct, you will not lose your money, but you will feel delay and some pain in the telecom .

Process 1 - Exchange from steem to PM, ADVcash and Payeer or any other cryptocurrency in the ir system

make your sbd in steemit market steem
get sell steem button in your wallet
register in the website using my link please to get faster and more discount
changer.com
go to changer.com, and use the link here then register freely no need for any verification and then to get address for doge and address auto for payeer or bitcoin or pm or what so ever, for example to payeer, then you type your payeer account number, the changer.com is secured and this site if you exchange the funds from inside the dashboard you will get good discount
sell your steem to DOGE in blockgate in steemit , then you will see that the steem is changed to doge in blockgate, then doge is changed into payeer in the changer.com
do not use any other fake exchangers you will lose your money.
i used this system many times and please you can see my pictures here

===============================================================================

Process 2 - Exchange from steem to PAYPAL FOR ARABIC PEOPLE or any other cryptocurrency in the ir system

the process here is longer as there is not direct exchange from steem to paypal

in this process, you make process 1 to payeer
then from payeer to paypal
i hope this is clear

here we use another trusted website, I use it one time, and I made a mistake, I asked them to exchange my money from bitcoin to visa card, but it was not proceeded and hanged up for three days, it was my mistake, as i did not know at that time this site and all other real sites are using russian visa and master card as a recieving process, so the customur service are agreat and they helped me to change the trx into PAYPAL, it is long process, but secured and your funds will reach your paypal account in 12 hours after they confirm the trx, I did it and i got my funds,

here is the picture

you need here to register and for arabic people it is better to verify your passport or ID. ( optional)
use my link here please for faster process
changex.com
when you send to paypal you will save 3.5% fees of paypal as they have a direct agreement to give you this discount
the process is exactly the same as the above
change your sbd in steemit market to steem
in blockgate sell steem to doge
send your doge to your payeer wallet using the process 1 above
then trx your payeer dollars to paypal account using this exchange

in both links I do not have any referral , it is direct

i done many trxs with both of them and i advise these two websites to be used by ARABS , INDIANS, PAKISTANI , BANGLADESH ASIANS AND CHINESE
