Born to be blonde (2)

Cleopatra

The famous Egyptian pharaoh was a natural blonde originally from Macedonia. Her father, Alexander’s general Ptolemy was blonde. Historians record those seductive skills she owed not to beauty but intelligence. She successfully ruled a large country. With skilful tactics she managed to seduce Caesar and Marcus Antonius. She had excellent knowledge in the mathematics, chemistry, literature and philosophy. Her knowledge of poisons was famous far and wide. Marcus Antonius was so afraid of that talent so that even in the most intimate moments did not want to taste anything before tasters. On one occasion she poisoned the wine in her cup and told his lover to toast to their love. She took a first sip, so she forwarded it to her beloved. When Marcus Antonius wanted to drink, Cleopatra insisted that it first rehearsal taster. A few minutes later the poor man fell dead. Cleopatra had explained to terrified Antonius that the two were already drunk the antidote and the key thing in a relationship is trust, that he have to believe that she is so clever she can poison him whenever she wants.

Keep your balance.

First off, I should be perfectly clear about something. If your life is perfectly balanced – all forces evenly balances and not playing off each other – well, you’re dead. Life just doesn't work that way.

Life is always forcing different areas of your life in and out of balance. Some days, it’s your family that requires more attention. Some days your job requires so much time, that you can’t see your family as much. Life is dynamic and constantly moving and growing and changing.

The trick is not to try to get everything balanced, but just try keep one aspect of your life from tipping everything else over. It’s a constant juggle. Work hard then pull back and enjoy yourself. Spend time with your family but leave them to go to work when you have to. Love your partner, but don’t smother them with attention and don’t base your happiness on them.

Eastern philosophies refer to this as detachment. That doesn't mean you don’t care about outcomes. It means you detach your identify from your roles in life and the effects of life.

When you detach from the particulars, you can see the big picture. This way, you can help to see where you’re at and how to avoid tipping over. Finding your centre helps you maintain your balance – especially when one of the forces of your life is trying to tip you over.

Take some time to find your centre. Pull away from things. Relax. Reflect. Meditate. Take some deep breaths. Remind yourself that you aren't the forces in your life.*

Born to be blonde.

It has long ceased to be that being a blonde is just a a genetic thing.  It is an attitude. The message that you’re sending to the world. Many smart blondes crushes widespread stereotypes about their stupidity. They love to be seen as inferior, air-headed women easy to handle, like to be underestimated, so that people get unpleasant surprise when blondes fight back. Must admit, it’s a good tactic. The birth of stupid stereotypes about blondes actually belongs to a brunette. A brief overview of the history of smart blonde women starts today:

Life is full of magic....

Those of you that know me, will attest to the fact that I completely believe in magic.  But not the magician kind, the magic that comes from within.....  The magic that happens when you just give a little bit of yourself, and watch the returns of that giving.  The smiles, the sighs of relief, the wonder on some people's faces, for me, that is the best feeling in the world.  

It completely amazes me how all this works.  I have noticed that for every smile you give away, you get tenfold in return.  For every helping hand you lend, you get tenfold in return.  So I completely believe in magic, because, it is just so amazing how so little can lead to so much........ well this is my opinion anyway and I am sticking to it... so have a magic day everybody......

Some wise words from one of history's most famous blondes!!!!!!!

Not such a blonde mind after all?????
