Did you know that there are already over 3.4 billion internet users all over the world? Thanks to marketing and digital advertising, even the smallest of companies have an enormous potential audience at the tipos of their fingers. And when looking to increase outreach, there are two advertising solutions that stand out of the crowd: Google Ads and Facebook Ads.
AdWords is the largest pay-per-click platform in the world: without Google, SEM would not exist. Its system is based on showing ads according to the keywords users are searching for. In other words, when using Google Ads you pay for the chance to find potential new customers, based on their searches.
Advertising on Google gives you potential access to over 3.5 billion daily searches. It also has a display option with which you can show your ads on a seemingly endless list of websites.
Its large variety of ad formats. Over the years, Google Ads has increased its list of ad formats, including Extensions, user reviews, location and website links, offering several options to personalize ads.
The size of its audience. Google Ads offers advertisers a huge audience that never stops growing. They are the unarguable leader of search engines worldwide and their competitors don't even come close.
Its equality in opportunities. In Google Ads, it is not always the advertiser with the largest budget that wins, which is big news for small and medium sized companies. Although it is true that some keywords are more expensive than others, the systems put great emphasis on the quality and relevance of the ad. Hard work definitely pays off with Google.
Facebook is the social network with most monthly active users, making it one of the most interesting advertising platforms of the moment. Its system is based on putting advertisers in touch with potential buyers according to their interests and online behavior.
Its high returns on investment. Facebook Ads is a great option for advertisers who are looking to stretch out their budget as much as possible. The average costs per click and per action vary according to the outreach, messages and campaign objectives, but are, in general, quite affordable. For this exact reason, even the smaller brands can also invest in facebook and get great returns on investment.
Its detailed segmentation. There is no doubt that Facebook's biggest strength are its segmentation options, which go so much deeper than simple demographics. This platform lets you filter user based on their interests, beliefs, ideologies and values. Its "Lookalike Audience" tool allows you to look for audiences who are similar to your existing clients, maximizing the probability of conversion. It is a tool that had never been seen before. And as if that weren't enough, the network is constantly expanding and refining the options they offer advertisers, making sure you get in touch with the exact people you want.
It is very visual. Facebook's Ads are designed to blend into users' newsfeeds, the same way their friends' content does. This is a huge advantage for advertisers who are looking to create visually attractive and inspiring ads. In summary, Facebook is a predominantly visual network, and its advertising makes the most of that fact.
Its integration with Instagram Audience. Last but not least, Facebook offers a very unique advantage: the possibility to combine your campaigns with Instagram Ads thanks to its acquisition. Both social networks share that same control panel, making it so much easier to create integrated campaigns. With over 500 million active users and a very young and trendy audience, advertising on Instagram is an opportunity you cannot miss out on.
Here is another article that might interest you: Twitter Ads vs. Facebook Ads: The advantages of each advertising platform.
In terms of potential outreach, Google Ads is in the lead, as it gives you access to 90% of all internet users (compared to Facebook's 44%). The search engine has over 3.5 billion daily searches, while the social network has over 1.7 billion active users.
In terms of segmentation options, however, Facebook is unrivaled. This network lets you segment your audience by location, behavior, demographics, interests, similar audiences and custom audiences, while Google includes location, keywords, negative keywords, demographics, language and device.
Both networks are similar when looking at mobile optimization. 84% of AdWords' revenue and 80% of Facebook's revenue are from mobile devices.
Lastly, the conversion ratios on ecommerce campaigns are similar on both channels: 1.84% on Google and between 1 and 2% on Facebook. The CTR is, nevertheless, higher on Google (2% compared to Facebook's 0.5%).
If, after all this information, you are still not sure which is the best bet for your brand, my advice is to invest in both!
Multichannel digital advertising strategies increase the the audience you can reach out to, creates synergy and increases your points of contact. To the best work you can with each channel, invest in your creative elements and you will see how your return on investment grows.


It Came From YouTube Classic: Mickie James, CM Punk, and Chris Jericho Do Karaoke - WrestleCrap - The Very Worst of Pro Wrestling!
This could be the greatest video I've ever seen. Mickie James and CM Punk (with a cameo by Chris Jericho) belting out "Summer Nights" from the Grease soundtrack. One thing makes this video an all-time classic. Now, it's not the greatest video ever because it features three minutes of my beloved Mickie, looking like she's smuggling a pair of nuclear warheads underneath her pink shirt, doing her best Olivia Newton-John impression. Nor is it because I have an R.O.Hard-on for everything CM Punk does. And it's not the fact that the bizarre lighting makes it look like the two were chasing their drinks that night with Gamma Rays, turning them as green as the Incredible Hulk and She-Hulk.
No, the one thing that makes this video awesome is the random drunk guy who tries to help them sing. That unknown, obnoxious neanderthal who appeared to be challenging for the Undisputed Third Wheel Championship of the World that evening. Not only is he weird, but with that creepy face and shaggy hair he reminds me of somebody – Rocky Dennis from the movie, Mask. After seeing this video, I can now mark "seeing Mickie James karaoking Grease music with Rocky Dennis" off of my list of things to do before I die.
Mask is the word, is the word that you heard!!

Throwing the perfect house party on new year's eve can be a very taxing on the host as you want everything to be perfect. While you may find many such ideas with a simple google search, not all may be doable, especially with the hectic lifestyle. Keeping this in mind, we have prepared a list of things you can do to spice up your new year's eve party.
The invitations you send out will define the tone of your party. They can be classy or tacky, depending on the way you want your house party to be. You can send out the invitations as images or gifs.
Asking your guests to bring such items will definitely make the passing of the year much more fun and you can also record the countdown to make the experience more special.
Selfies are al the rage so making a selfie corner would be a nice addition to your party. You can decorate a corner with new year decorations and provide good lighting to it to create the ultimate selfie corner. This will help liven up the mood of your guests and loosen them up.
You can make party hats with different new year resolutions written on them. This will give a different feel to your guests as they can pick out the hats that match their new year resolutions.
Sometimes, conversations topics can end quick creating that awkward moment. For such occasions, you can make several conversation starter cards which cover topics such as 'The best movie of the year' or 'The most happening event of the year' which will act as great conversation topics.
As the name suggests, the wishing wall can be a board in the corner where your guests can write their wishes for the new year on sticky papers and can attach them on the board.

Snacks are something that are consumed at a frightening pace, so stock up on those snacks and keep a variety of them.
Music is important for any great party. So make sure you have your music system running overtime and blaring out great beats at your party.

About Henri Matisse (Artist)
Whether working as a draftsman, a sculptor, a printmaker or a painter Henri Matisse was a master of color. Although classically trained at the Académie Julian, in Paris, he quickly abandoned traditional techniques and genres to pioneer a style all his own, marked by quick, gestural strokes and fluid contours.
Along with fellow painter André Derain, Matisse was the leading proponent of Fauvism, a movement whose name is derived from the French word for "wild beast." Marked by vibrant hues, Fauvist paintings like Matisse's famous 1906 composition Le Bonheur de vivre, use wild, active brushstrokes and a palette unconstrained by nature, resulting in women with purple skin and trees with orange leaves. Often, these compositions unite pure color with the white of exposed canvas to create a sense of transparency and light.
In addition to masterful landscapes and still lifes, Matisse loved to paint erotic subjects, particularly the female nude. Rejecting strict realism, he distilled the form into its essential parts and then translated these into voluptuous, rounded contours. In pictures like the lithograph Nu Bleu, he explored the expressive power of a body in motion by placing his figures in twisted or conrtorted poses, transforming their limbs into tangles of color and shape that pushfigure painting toward abstraction.
The artwork can be delivered to the address of your choice within 2 to 3 weeks after validation of your order. The work is insured during transport, so it's risk-free.
Henri Matisse, in full Henri-Émile-Benoît Matisse (born December 31, 1869, Le Cateau, Picardy, France - died November 3, 1954, Nice) is an artist often regarded as the most important French painter of the 20th century. The leader of the Fauvist movement around 1900, Matisse pursued the expressiveness of colour throughout his career. His subjects were largely domestic or figurative, and a distinct Mediterranean verve presides in the treatment.
Matisse, whose parents were in the grain business, displayed little interest in art until he was 20 years old. From 1882 to 1887 he attended the secondary school in Saint-Quentin; after a year of legal studies in Paris, he returned to Saint-Quentin and became a clerk in a law office. He began to sit in on an early-morning drawing class at the local École Quentin-Latour, and, in 1890, while recovering from a severe attack of appendicitis, he began to paint, at first copying the coloured reproductions in a box of oils his mother had given him. In 1891 he abandoned the law and returned to Paris to become a professional artist.
Although at this period he had, in his own words, "hair like Absalom's," he was far from being a typical Left Bank bohemian art student. The 19th-century gospel of work, derived from a middle class, northern French upbringing, was to mark his entire career, and soon it was accompanied by a thoroughly bourgeois appearance—gold-rimmed spectacles; short, carefully trimmed beard; plump, feline body; conservative clothes—which was odd for a leading member of the Parisian avant-garde.
Matisse did not, however, become a member of the avant-garde right away. In 1891, in order to prepare himself for the entrance examination at the official École des Beaux-Arts, he enrolled in the privately run Académie Julian, where the master was the strictly academic William-Adolphe Bouguereau, then at the peak of a since-departed fame as a painter of bevies of naked, mildly provocative nymphs. That Matisseshould have begun his studies in such a school may seem surprising, and he once explained the fact by saying that he was acting on the recommendation of a Saint-Quentin painter of hens and poultry yards. But it must be remembered that he himself was for the moment a provincial with tastes that were old-fashioned in a Paris already familiar with the Post-Impressionism of Paul Cézanne, Paul Gauguin, and Vincent van Gogh. His earliest canvases are in the 17th-century Dutch manner favoured by the French Realists of the 1850s.
In 1892 he left the Académie Julian for evening classes at the École des Arts Décoratifs and for the atelier of the Symbolist painter Gustave Moreau at the École des Beaux-Arts, without being required to take the entrance examination. Matisse continued, with some long interruptions, to study in the atelier until 1899, when he was forced to leave by Fernand Cormon, an intolerant painter who had become the professor after Moreau's death. After that, although he was nearing 30, he frequented for a time a private academy where intermittent instruction was given by the portraitist Eugène Carrière.
In 1896 Matisse exhibited four paintings at the backward-looking Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts and scored a triumph; he was elected an associate member of the Salon society, and his Woman Reading (1894) was purchased by the government. From this point onward he became increasingly confident and venturesome, both as an artist and as a man. During the next two years he undertook expeditions to Brittany, met the veteran Impressionist Camille Pissarro, and discovered the series of Impressionist masterpieces in the Gustave Caillebotte Collection, which had just been donated—amid protests from conservatives—to the French nation. His colours became, for a while, lighter in hue and at the same time more intense. In 1897 he took his first major step toward stylistic liberation and created a minor scandal at the Salon with The Dinner Table (La Desserte), in which he combined a Renoir kind of luminosity with a firmly classical composition in deep red and green.
In 1898 he married a young woman from Toulouse, Amélie Parayre, and left Paris for a year, visiting London, where he studied the paintings of J.M.W. Turner, and working in Corsica, where he received a lasting impression of Mediterranean sunlight and colour.He became interested in the Pointillist idea of obtaining additive mixtures of colour on the retina by means of juxtaposed dots (points in French) on the canvas.
He purchased from Vollard the plaster model of the bust of Henri Rochefort by Auguste Rodin, and during 1899 he began to attend an evening class in sculpture. His early work in three dimensions, the first of some 60 pieces he executed during his lifetime, reveals the influence not only of Rodin but also of Antoine-Louis Barye, generally considered the greatest French sculptor of animals.
After 1899 he ceased to exhibit at the Salon and gradually became a familiar figure in the Parisian circles where modern art was being produced and ardently discussed. In 1901 he showed for the first time in the juryless, eclectic Salon des Indépendants, which had been founded in 1884 as a refuge for painters unacceptable to the official exhibition juries. In 1902 he was in a group show at the small gallery of Berthe Weill, and the next year he and a number of his old classmates from Moreau's atelier and the Académie Carrière were the progressive contingent in the liberal, newly created Salon d'Automne. But in spite of such recognition, he was often on the brink of financial disaster. In 1900 he was obliged to accept work on the decoration of the Grand Palais, which was being erected to house part of the new Exposition Universelle in the Champs-Élysées quarter. He was past 34 when, in June 1904, at Vollard's gallery, he had his first one-man show, and it was a failure.
He spent the summer of 1905 with André Derain at Collioure, a small French fishing port on the Mediterranean, near the Spanish border. In the dazzling sunshine he rapidly freed himself from what he called "the tyranny" of Pointillism. The carefully placed little dabs required by the additive-mixture approach turned into swirls and slabs of spontaneous brushwork, and the theoretically realistic colours exploded into an emotional display of complementaries: red against green, orange against blue, and yellow against violet. Representative of this new freedom were Open Window, which was finished at Collioure, and Woman with the Hat, a portrait of his wife painted back in Paris in September. That fall, the two pictures were exhibited at the Salon d'Automne alongside works by a number of artists who also had been experimenting with violent colour. The Paris critic Louis Vauxcelles called the group les fauves ("the wild beasts"), and thus Fauvism, the first of the important "isms" in 20th-century painting, was born. Almost immediately Matisse became its acknowledged leader.
The Stein family in Paris—Gertrude, her brothers Leo and Michael, and the latter's wife, Sarah—became Matisse collectors. In 1906 the artist had a show at the Galerie Druet in Paris in addition to exhibiting again at the Salons des Indépendants and d'Automne. In 1908 he exhibited in New York City, Moscow, and Berlin.
Fauvism was too undisciplined to last long, and soon its adherents were moving, according to their temperaments, toward Expressionism, Cubism, or some kind of neo-traditionalism. Matisse had no liking for these directions, and if "Fauve" is taken to mean simply a painter with a passion for pure colour, he can be said to have remained one all his life. He had, however, too much rationalism in his outlook not to wish for some order in a stylistic situation that threatened to become chaotic, and his search for chromatic equilibrium and linear economy can be followed in a series of major works produced between the revelation of Fauvism in 1905 and the end of World War I. In 1906 he painted Joy of Life; in 1908, The Dessert, a Harmony in Red; in 1911, The Red Studio; in 1915, Goldfish; in 1916, Piano Lesson; and in 1918, Montalban, Large Landscape.
Matisse had been interested in etching, drypoint, lithography, and allied printmaking techniques since his first years in Paris and had produced a number of occasional prints. In 1932 he had published, as illustrations for an edition of Stéphane Mallarmé's Poésies, 29 etchings, in which his talent for supple contours and linear economy was subtly attuned to the "purity of means" evident in the poems. After the outbreak of World War II, he became increasingly active as a graphic artist. He illustrated numerous books and published Jazz (1947), a book consisting of his own reflections on art and life, with brilliantly coloured illustrations made by a technique he called "drawing with scissors": the motifs were pasted together after being cut out of sheets of coloured paper (hand-painted with gouache in order to get the desired hue).
During the last years of his life, he was a rather solitary man who was separated from his wife and whose grownup children were scattered. After 1941, when he underwent an operation for an intestinal disorder, he was bedridden much of the time; after 1950 he suffered from asthma and heart trouble. Often he was obliged to work on his mural-sized projects from a studio bed with the aid of a crayon attached to a long pole. But there are no signs of flagging creative energy or of sadness in his final achievements; on the contrary, these works are among the most daring, most accomplished, and most serenely optimistic of his entire career.
Matisse considered the peak of his life-work to be his design and decoration of the Chapel of the Rosary for the Dominican nuns at Vence, France (1948–1951). He designed the black-and-white tile pictures, stained glass, altar crucifix, and vestments (ceremonial robes). At the time of the consecration (declaration of sacredness) of the Vence chapel, Matisse held a large retrospective exhibition (a look back at the work he created) in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
The ultimate step in the art of Matisse was taken in his papiers découpés, abstract cutouts in colored paper, executed in the mid-1940s, for example, the Negro Boxer, Tristesse du roi, and Jazz. The master died on November 3, 1954, in Cimiez, France, near Nice.

not only is this right on, but it's also really funny…it is exactly how we work, you've nailed it.
and to think that most of us just stop with the bad hair day/ugly step.
Love this post and love the NOW, because it narrows down the complications we've created for ourselves. We can actually see as a result that, the now is not so bad after all, it's even fine. The NOW is as well, the only thing that is tangible, that is real.
Great post! I understand what you say by finding what exactly causes you to worry or fear, but I have a question.
I can't stand some people, the way they talk or just the fact that they talk too much. I know it's a problem with me because I'm the one thinking it's annoying, but I can't stop myself from thinking that. It's not for everybody that I talk to so how do I fix this? I've tried thinking to myself that it's the same as talking to anyone, or that it's not annoying, but after just a small time I find myself being annoyed. Is there a way to fix this?
I'll answer it in 2morrow post.
In the meanwhile, you can analyze the fears that are behind your feelings towards those people.
Love the analogy and the dialogue, but I'm not sure Socrates would approve of your method.
Everything until "WHY does the thought that everyone will laugh at me bothers me now?" was fine. But then we hit the ideas of friends, loneliness and death. At this point, logical progression ceased.
(b) I like being alone most of the time.
(c) I do fear death, but this fear does not necessarily give me a love for life.
Do all fears come from a fear of death? Not sure. What else do I fear? Madness, mediocrity, being poor, not having a meaningful life, not having made a difference to the world (the worst part of my ego simply fears not being rich and famous (puke) ). Yeah, actually, perhaps all these things are tethered to the realisation that my time on Earth is finite. So maybe fear of death is the underlying fear.
Perhaps, ultimately, and really, what we fear is not a physical death but the death of our ego.
In "Living the Wisdom of the Tao", Wayne Dyer uses the story of the parrot to explain this idea (check it out on YouTube by searching for "Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life").
A traveler from India went to Africa to acquire some local products and animals, and while in the jungle he saw thousands of beautiful multicolored talking parrots. He decided to capture a talking parrot and take it back as a pet.
At home he kept his parrot in a cage and fed him wonderful seeds and honey, played music for his pet, and generally treated him well. When it was time for the man to return to Africa 2 years later, he asked his parrot if there was any message he could deliver to the parrot's friends back in the jungle. The parrot told his master to say that he was very happy in his cage and that he was enjoying each day and to convey his love.
When the traveler arrived back in Africa he delivered the message to the parrots in the jungle. Just as he finished his story, a parrot with tears welling up in his eyes fell over dead. The man was alarmed and decided that the parrot must have been very close to the parrot in the cage and that was the reason for his sadness and demise.
When the traveler returned to India, he told his pet what had happened. As he finished his story, the pet parrot's eyes welled up with tears and he kneeled over dead in his cage. The man was astounded, but figured that his pet died from the despair of hearing of the death of his close friend back in the jungle.
The trader opened up the cage and tossed the dead bird outside onto the trash heap. Immediately his pet parrot flew up to a branch on the tree outside.
"What was the message?" the trader inquired impatiently.
I may not be the perfect person to answer, but here I give it a try.
Death may not be the ultimate reason of fear. To live unhappily or live lonely is worse I suppose.
Many people don't like to have many friends. That is fine. But we all have people whom we love and care. It may be the fear of being ashamed in their eyes that may be the concern. Sometimes we fear our elders (parents etc.) as our state or deeds might wrong them and we might loose their guidance. This feeling of not doing wrong to the elders is called respect.
1. We all have aims to be fulfilled in life. Without these, there is no life.
2. For achieving those aims we require help from some other people.
3. It is these people whom we fear.
Now here I would add a subtle point which may serve as an example – about our parents. They were the first people who helped us survive in this world. We are highly indebted to them. Hence we must have a feeling of gratitude towards them. As we grow old, we tend to believe that their help or contribution to our lives has diminished to zero (which may or may not be true). And then the trader within us says "They are of no use; why respect them?", and then starts the story of an arrogant son and sad parents.
The point is why are they sad? Fear of old age and death? Probably not much. The main question bothering them there is "Is this what I wanted my child to be? Where did I go wrong that my child does not respect the input that I put in him?" Here the cause of fear is that of loosing a loved one, of failure in life and that of loneliness. You don't have to be a very social being to feel the feeling of being lonely.
And please forgive me if I have offended you unknowingly.
Not at all, dear Arindam. You are the perfect person to answer because YOU are writing YOUR thoughts and YOUR feelings.
You write well, and I like your angle about elders, parents, etc.
I think that you hit it directly. We don't fear a physical death, we know that this body will die. No matter what we do to try to extend it, no matter how much we exercise, no matter how well we eat, no matter what medicines we take, this physical body will die. Yet, the ego clings to and identifies with everything it comes into contact with. We are not our ego. We are not whatever we are identifying with at the moment. To me that is scary and thrilling. To no longer be an individual, but to lose that individuality and be part of something larger/greater. Like a raindrop falling into the ocean.

Great series Ido. less fear more peace who wouldn't want that?
I think you are correct on a simplistic level….And for those who do view the world that way. But what if you already do accept all responsibility but yet another person who is narcissistic and possibly an alcoholic (at least her behavior is) keeps making bad decisions throws all the bad consequences on you and hence prevent joy/happiness/moving on?
You prevent joy/happiness/moving on for yourself. Nothing external to you can rule your experience of life. It is your choice how to react to changing external situations. No one chooses your attitude besides you.
This approach to solving a personal problem personalize the same approach we use in systems analysis to solving a systems problem. We call it a PERT chart (see http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PERT). As a systems analyst I have come to understand that the best approaches to systems analysis apply to areas having nothing to do with information systems and information technology. Your solution to finding the root cause of a human dilemma just strengthens that theory. Fascinating.
Thank you very much for your posts. A pretty much inspirational approach for me. Could you give me the permission to post them on my blog: http://www.adoradabijoux.wordpress.com? Even for the moment I am posting in Romanian Language, I'm working closely with some of the concepts that you're lauching here. If you'll give me not the permission, I will continue following you 🙂 Thank you in advance for your response, Dodo.
Love the way you are explaining this! I can just feel the angst in myself and your other readers awaiting the next post/#3. I feel like I know what you are going to say :). This also gave me a wonderful idea for my next post especially after reading 'Slayer Muser's comment. I am reading a book right now called Ayurveda and the Mind by David Frawley I think you'd enjoy.
Hope you are have a wonderful day!
I really enjoyed reading your last couple posts. Keep up the great work!
Answering WHY you feel the way you feel by focusing only on YOURSELF and only on NOW gives you (and no one else) control of your feelings. I know we all love that!! Ido, you are helping so many people with this dialog!
I agree! having done the work myself and an addictions/divorce recovery counselor I would say Ido is bang on.
Synchronicity. I just finished a course in miracles lesson 26. It is a lesson in this type of thinking and analyzing the what you really fear and at the end of the exercise you conclude with " that thought is an attack on myself".
oooo! Excited for the next…..
Very, Very, Very, good post!!
Yes, I also believe that every disturbing thought I have comes down to the fear of death. I believe that we are more like dogs than cats. We need to be part of a pack because we don't have the ability to hunt for food, and survive, alone. The pack is everything to most people. To our primitive selves, this is why the potential for being separated from the pack can feel like it will lead to our death.
I'm a little more connected with the fear of death than I think most people are. My childhood, at the hands of a very violent father, involved the fear of death countless times. Also I was victim of a terrifying attack by a crazed maniac with a very big knife. I was sure I would not make it out alive. But I guess God had more plans for me because I survived it.
I have looked death in the face a lot and, for most of my life, have feared it greatly. Then one day God came to my rescue and helped me overcome this fear. One day, I will write a post about how this was accomplished.
It's wonderful in those moments of bathing in the beautiful wonders of life, with gratitude for conditions of happiness available in the present moment. It's also true in moments of feeling our interbeing nature to have deep pain for the ill being of the world. To the extent there is choice, I prefer the pleasant moments, filled with compassion for all, that they be well, happy and safe.
wow, Ido, thank you for your insight! it is just what i needed to read this morning. i will try this!
Love your posts, love life and it will love you!
Ido, It's amazing how deeply you seem to affect people with your words. I've been reading and rereading your last 2 or 3 blogs to get a feel for what I wanted to take from them….again they are timely in my life. You are an interesting man. Thank you for sharing your thoughts….
What I like about what you're up to (new reader here) is the application of philosophical thinking in every day life. Dialogue with one's self has been around forever, and is a ninja skill of the highest order. I'm a firm believer that as humans our biggest challenge is to make joy in our lives and the lives of those around us, and acknowledgement of self (good/bad/confused/weird etc…) is the starting point.
Again, very inspiring. RIght on the mark.

Hello! I appreciate you visiting my blog and liking my most recent post. I was curious why you liked it though. Do you think you could provide some feedback? Have a great day!
This post, along with #1, remind me of a shrink I went to with similar ideas. He really pissed me off because I didn't want to accept responsibility for my problems. I wanted to have him listen while I blamed someone else. Eventually, it started making sense. Thanks for the reminders.
Fear=False Expectations Appearing REal! I LOVE you help people find what's real!
Nice. This is the same method project managers use to find root causes in the breakdown of processes. Should have known it could be translated to personal life.
Interesting! I will put more reading into your blog. Thanks.
Finally, the help I need is written in a way I can easily understand. Thanks!!
I am so glad you found my blog, because it meantI got to find you! WONDERFUL!
Amazing! Can't wait to read more! I wish you were closer! I need a counseling session!
1) Where did you learn this stuff? In other words, what's your source material? Is there a book someone could read?
2) What about subconscious material that one is not going to be able to access on one's own? Do you discount the importance of that? Or are there deeper techniques that you are aware of?
There are many ways to learn, many sources of information. But the best source is just to look at oneself all the time. This is the way for a real understanding. I do it through meditations.
If you would like to start by reading, the first book I'd suggest is "The Power Of Now" By Eckhart Tolle.
The subconscious is accessible if one wants to go there. It is also done by various techniques of Meditation. But it never is the point. We should start with the consciouss which with time become more and more quiet. Than, the subconscious can reveal itself whenever neccassery.
Yes, Ido, yes! Anything by Eckhart Tolle or Wayne Dyer is wonderful.
Great Post! It is so lovely!
Ido, thank you for sharing about this post. Yup, I also fear not being able to provide for my parents who has taken care of me and even let me pursue my studies. So I'm trying to improve my skill.
And I want to thank you for liking my "Abstract" Photography.
Very enlightening post and revealing to those who are in denial that everything external is something that should effect our perception of reality. Fear is a great motivator in life and will tarnish our outlook on life if we let it dominate our mindset. BTW, thanks for visiting my blog today and clicking on the "Like" button to my most recent post. Keep up the good work you're doing here. Cheers!
Completely agree. But people, sometimes even ourselves, don't like to hear it because we're so imbued with the blame culture. We've learnt to avoid escape feeling the pain or fear that is in us by blaming someone.
Great post. I reblogged it.
I admire your idea of internal dialoguing very much, and following each negative thought or worry to its logical conclusion. Great post, and looking forward to reading more from you.
I nominated you for the "Very Inspiring Blogger Award". You can find details on my blog https://kelihasablog.wordpress.com/ …. I hope you will enjoy it, but if not, I understand.
thanks for that-if I "out" myself, I can't control how people react. But I can control my reaction or my attitude about the problem. I'm fearful of losing my friends, being alone and dying.
I been trying to get through to your blog for along time and kept arriving at the page with the duck but now I went into self awareness I found you post ~ I look forward to check out you whole blog , thanks for visiting my blog.
The Brazilian band "J. Quest" recorded a great song. This is a part of the lyrics (free translation): "Hey, Fear! I don't hear you anymore. You don't take me anywhere. If you want to know where I'm going – I'm going where the sun shines."("Ei, medo! Eu não te escuto mais. Você não me leva a nada. E se quiser saber pra onde eu vou, pra onde tenha sol: é pra lá que eu vou.").
Thank you! Again! 🙂 I think you got it all right. Reading Eckhart Tolle is a great way to start seeing things in a bigger perspective.
Sounds a lot like the Downward Arrow in CBT!
CBT stands for Cognitive Behaviour Therapy – in a nutshell it looks at how unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviour can exacerbate low mood and anxiety. An initial first step is working out what exactly our inner commentary is saying – for people who are depressed it's often things like – "I'm useless, I always get things wrong, this is hopeless" Unfortunately, when you get depressed, your brain is more likely to jump straight to these really severe, toxic conclusions about yourself. CBT tries to redress this balance by teaching you to really examine the validity of your thinking and to change thinking patterns. DBT or Dilectical Behaviour Therapy is an offshoot of CBT – hope that makes sense!
"You are the one who has to change." I stopped reading, then I came back.
I KNOW the WHY game… very well.. it works… very well.
But here's a question…. how to find balance from perhaps "too" much looking inward. It can turn, at times, to blame of self, when perhaps another is playing a part as well. (does this make sense?) But perhaps you're saying… look inward, figure it out, then step forward again. Yes?
By the way.. thank you for visiting my blog. It"s nice, meeting new people. Even if it is on the internets.
i came to self awareness a little backwards. i approached from a place of love and peace after years of meditation and emptying my life, my mind, and my heart. and from that place of power, i was able to abandon fear. all fear. then the questions were easily answered. i love that you've actually put together a process for others to use. great job!
Very interesting, Ido. I need to learn this, and i will learn this.
That is by far the best cat photo i have seen in my life and i am not a big cat fan.
But outside of that i really enjoyed the article though i am not that likely to have a bad hair day i understand the point.
So keeping them coming (articles not cats but if they are really that funny keep them too).
Do you believe the root of all fears has to be the fear of death?
I used to think my biggest problem with procrastination is fear of failure but after looking internally I discovered it was the fear of succeeding. Its very easy to fail but it takes a lot of hard work and risk of the unknown to succeed.
"Because, I'm afraid (exactly) that if I'll be alone, I won't be happy.
OK so, you are afraid of being unhappy, so the thought that you might be unhappy is enough to make you unhappy?
Yes we know that this goes on and around. Yet it is a real life common example and I could not help but hear it re-run as I read your part two.
I am sure there is a famous quote/saying about fear trapping you, just can't remember it. Or am I just thinking about Batman Begins? Fear is a difficult "monster" as it comes in many guises and remains hidden most the time. I am a big believer in that everything you do is a "choice" (you may not like the choices necessarily), and a lot of the time "fear" (either known or unknown) will drive this choice. Thanks for sharing, and will read tomorrows post for sure.
Reblogged this on Personal Profiler Ro – Adorada's Blog.
The only opinion of you that matters a damn in this world … is your own.
As for looking for Root Causes: just keep on asking 'why?' until you can go no further.
"Fear death"? Why? Been there, done that—we all have.
You were just as dead before you were born as you will be after you pop your clogs. You already know what it's like (and were actually quite comfortable) so what's the worry?
For myself I do NOT dread the destination (but don't look forward to the trip). So is the 'fear of death' actually 'the dread of dying'?


Download Avast Free Antivirus 2017 Offline Installer - A lot of free of charge anti-virus programs do not use a lot besides simple malware protection, however Avast Free Antivirus is a half-step towards being actually a fully fledged protection set, with several features you 'd usually be actually demanded for. That possesses certainly not merely a security password manager as well as a local-network security scanner, however gives you great deals of arrangement possibilities. [UPDATE: Since this customer review was posted, Avast Free Antivirus has actually added a safe web browser.
However while that didn't sap much from our pc's performance, Avast Free Anti-virus took a number of years to check, as well as its malware protection can be a lot better.
Avast Free Antivirus matches brand-new reports with a constantly updated database from malware signatures. Everything that slips via is subject to behavioral surveillance that searches for indicators from destructive task. If new malware is discovered on your maker, you may decide to publish this to Avast's web servers for further evaluation.
Avast Free Anti-virus evaluates out malicious e-mail add-ons as well as rogue Web pages-- which other cost-free antivirus items don't carry out-- and also offers a dizzying variety of personalization possibilities for each and every attribute. However, this doesn't browse online storehouses of apply for hazards. That uses full and quick system checks, the previous of which can be planned.
The software uses its own Smart Browse function to try to find dangerous internet browser attachments, weak security passwords, being compatible troubles, obsolete software program, system risks and efficiency problems. You can not deal with efficiency problems, however, without registering for the firm's Clean-up product for $23.88 a year.
You can easily use Avast Free Antivirus 2017 Offline Installer to browse any kind of single drive, folder or even report through situating the product along with Windows Explorer or Report Traveler, then selecting and right-clicking the item. Yet Avast will not automatically scan a USB thumb travel when this is actually plugged in.
Avast Free Antivirus 2017 was better at catching malware compared to Microsoft's Microsoft window Defender or Safety Fundamentals, yet dulled alongside the more reliable malware guards of the various other complimentary Microsoft window anti-virus products our company examined.
In Windows 10 analyses conducted by the independent German laboratory AV-TEST, Avast Free Antivirus caught 98.8 percent of formerly hidden, or "zero-day," malware in September 2015, as well as 96.7 per-cent in Oct. Yet AVG, Avira and Bitdefender each ceased One Hundred Percent in every month. Avast came back against widespread, previously realized, malware, quiting 99.8 per-cent in September as well as 99.3 percent in Oct. However all the various other complimentary items our company just recently reviewed, aside from Microsoft's Microsoft window Defender, captured either 99.9 or One Hundred Percent.
In AV-TEST's Microsoft window 8.1 analyses, Avast Free Anti-virus possessed even more excellence against zero-day malware, quiting 100 percent in November 2015 and also 98.3 percent in December. Against widespread malware, that was actually 99.8 per-cent reliable in each month. That's fair, yet Avira as well as Bitdefender did better in both classifications. Avast scored two inaccurate positives-- propitious software wrongly flagged as malware-- in Nov, as well as one in December.
On Windows 7, Avast Free Antivirus did acceptably well in AV-TEST's most recent round, quiting 98.2 per-cent of zero-day malware in January 2016, and also 98.1 per-cent in February. Intermittent label our team just recently assessed came back, except Microsoft.
From widespread malware, Microsoft Protection Must-haveses-- Microsoft window Guardian's older brother or sister-- reached Avast. Both it and Avast stopped 99.7 per-cent in January, but in February, Microsoft bordered ahead of time, along with 99.6 per-cent to Avast's 99.3 per-cent. Avast scored three inaccurate positives over both months. Avast's scores listed below are actually tolerable. AV-TEST assesses over 20 antivirus labels instantly, and Avast regularly places above average. That acquires a strong B in malware protection, while the various other four non-Microsoft products our experts assessed in this particular round-- Avira, AVG, Bitdefender as well as Panda-- simply take place to range off A- to A+.
In exams by a different laboratory, AV-Comparatives in Austria Avast 2017 Free Anti-virus stopped 99.4 percent from "real-world" (typically Online) malware in November 2015, and 98.8 percent in December. That's tolerable, yet Avira, Bitdefender and also Panda were a duration ahead of time. Avast had one incorrect favorable in November and 6 in December, which seems poor up until you find Panda's total amount of 23, and Microsoft's total of 52.

PlayStation 4 sales reach 110.4 million
Mike Minotti@tolkoto	 May 12, 2020 11:48 PM
The PlayStation 4 Pro helped push the PS4 family to massive success in the 2010s.
Image Credit: Sony Interactive Entertainment
As part of its financial results today, Sony revealed that lifetime sales for PlayStation 4 have now passed 110.4 million consoles.
That number was at 108.9 million in February. The PS4 came out back in 2013. Today, the console is on its last legs, with the PlayStation 5 set to release later this year.
During the previous financial quarter, January to March, Sony sold 1.5 million PlayStation 4 consoles. That is down from the 2.6 million machines that Sony moved during the same period last year, showing how sales for PS4 are slowing as many hold out for the newer hardware (or already have a Sony console). But the PS4 isn't done yet. Major exclusives, like The Last of Us Part II and Ghost of Tsushima are releasing this summer.
PlayStation 4 has been a big hit, becoming the No. 2 best-selling home console of all time. It is behind the PlayStation 2, which sold around 155 million machines. Sadly for the PS4, it looks unlikely to pass its older brother.
Maybe that's a task for PS5. And while Sony admitted that the ongoing pandemic has "presented some challenges," the new console is still set to launch this holiday season.

Good morning, kids. Another week and another collection of items that add up to mixed signals in terms of prognosticating November. Meanwhile, the anti-American agitprop being pumped out by the Leftists both at the highest levels of power or just parroted by the average uninformed fool is unsurprisingly leading to incidents of political violence, along with skyrocketing everyday mayhem thanks to the kneecapping of law enforcement.
In the town that birthed CHAZmania USA, aka Seattle...
... A man was shot after he punched a driver through the window of his car. The Democrat-run city of Seattle arrested the driver, but if I were on the jury, I would not even want to hear the driver's side of the story before I voted to acquit. Why waste my time, the defense lawyer's time that he is billing to his client, the judge's time, and the rest of the jury's time after the prosecution stipulates, as it will have to do, that the other man admitted to reaching through the car window to grab the steering wheel and then punch the driver in his face? This, along with the fact that Seattle is allowing looters and rioters to run rampant, is a strong argument for every working person and every employer to move out of the city and let it rot, and elect a Republican governor and Legislature to ensure that state money is not used to carry Seattle...
Amen to that last bit. A similar incident happened in Portland where a driver was surrounded by BLM thugs after he dared drive his vehicle on a street they were occupying.
... Now it looks as if the people are taking the matters into their own hands. In the early hours of July 9th, a person driving a white car in downtown Portland was surrounded by rioters. The "protesters" demanded that the driver "get off the f*cking road!" Within seconds multiple shots were fired in the air from the car. No one was hit. The person who took the video claims that the driver had been with the protesters drinking. The motive for the shooting is anyone's guess, as Portland police didn't respond to the active shooter...
And given the current state of affairs in Portland, Seattle, New York and a dozen other Democrat-controlled urban areas across the country, I can't say that I blame them for not responding.
Portland prosecutors just dropped the charges against Black Lives Matter and Antifa rioters who have turned downtown Portland into a hell-scape after six weeks of rioting. Rioters who are arrested are ticketed and released. There's an old saying from the Bible that has been adapted by management gurus: What gets rewarded gets repeated. Using that logic, Portland has just signed itself up for more riots... A former Oregon District Attorney, Josh Marquis, can't believe the DA's response to the constant rioting. "It is incomprehensible to me that you could have downtown Portland destroyed the way it has, tens of millions of dollars in damage, and say, 'Well, there's no accountability for that.'
What that does is it makes arrests meaningless. No accountability. And that means Portland prosecutors want more of this.
But in Indianapolis, things turned deadly, all because someone refused to rhetorically "take a knee."
Last week, 24-year-old Jessica Doty Whitaker was shot to death following an argument with Black Lives Matter supporters. According to her family, the BLM supporters shouted "Black lives matter" at her and her group, to which they replied, "All lives matter."
After the groups separated, Jessica was shot dead by the BLM supporters. She leaves behind a 3-year-old son. "She shouldn't have lost her life. She's got a 3-year-old son she loved dearly," said Jose Ramirez, her fiance, who was involved in the incident...
At what point will murder not be prosecuted, or at least when will what is now murder be seen as justifiable homicide insofar as the shooter, being part and parcel of the party in power, will be seen by same as a victim - or defender of the faith, as it were, from a filthy infidel who dared challenge the "will of the people!" While all of this resembles government-sanctioned anarchy, if traditional police forces are actually abolished or rendered completely useless, it will not mean the end of law and order. We will have something very much akin to the laws that propped up "the New Order." This isn't localized; the actions of hack-in-black Judge Emmett Sullivan, and worse, the inaction of his colleagues or his superior on the same court to shut his insane power-grab down is part and parcel of the same problem; corruption at every level and in myriad aspects of our government, law enforcement and societal institutions working towards the goal of killing off the last vestiges of America as founded.
And yet it won't be the bedraggled, black-clad thugs with the Molotov cocktails, concrete-infused hate-shakes and bike locks that will be the enforcers. It will be Amazon, Google, Bank of America, your HR department, the Social Security and Medicare administrations that will get your mind right. We are already living in an Orwellian nightmare. To what degree it worsens is anyone's guess, but the writing is on the wall. BLM, ACAB = OBEY.
Whither President Trump? While he had been taking a beating over the past couple of months over the response to the Chinese Lung AIDS - now confirmed by any rational, objective analysis of the data as marginally more deadly than seasonal flu and now over - his response to the insurrection has been spot on. Yet there still is a mood, real or media-created, that his campaign is stalled if not floundering. Personally, that makes zero sense to me given the insane rhetoric and actual physical destruction being brought about by Democrats. Also, the President does not have a party that is lockstep, shoulder-to-shoulder with him and indeed with all of us. In fact, key players are actively working to sabotage the GOP and we could lose the Senate. Whatever missteps Trump may have made, his speech at Mount Rushmore was one for the ages. Coupled with that is his telling Minneapolis to FOAD after the city had the gall to request a bail out for the destruction of the riots - destruction that it alone is responsible for by not only not acting to stop the rioting but actually encouraging and excusing it.
So now, we have the usual deviants and scum in the form of Democrat mayors and governors continuing the drumbeat of lockdowns and forced wearing of worse-than-useless masks to continue the misery and dislocation so as to ensure Trump's defeat. This cannot go on. Trump has to unleash us and himself. Victor Davis Hanson:
... To get back on track, Trump almost alone became the defender of tradition under assault, of security, and safety. He deplored the statue toppling, the madness of cancel culture, the racial obsessions of the Black Lives Matter/Antifa cultural revolution. He praised America's goodness and reminded the country it was good without having to be perfect. And still, the Left hobbled him.
In truth, the media, the universities, and the Left by weaponizing plague, lockdown and riot had found a winning strategy. The mere threat of being called a "racist" in such a Reign of Terror climate could win over unlikely allies, abettors, and appeasers. Corporate America, the retired and serving four-star officer class, local and state government apparatchiks, and many terrified Republican politicians and pundits (hoping to be dismembered last by leftist wolverines) began pledging their allegiance to the Left or staying mum...
... In truth, he needs to eschew "I" and substitute "we." A record low percent black unemployment rate? That translated into job seekers having leverage over employers and with it dignity and value. Gas prices falling due to expanded oil production? That means the minimum wage worker can afford her commute. Returning industry? That means more clout, honor, and a good living for an unemployed middle-aged worker in Ohio and Michigan, and less fuel for the Chinese Communist Party.
Tweeting cannot be about the past, but only the present and future. Trolls, washed-up celebrities, know-nothing pampered athletes, and hack leftists don't deserve mention in the campaign's final 100 days.
Ignore them all and focus on Restoration, 2021 -- and how the president has a detailed plan to focus on all classes and races, while reminding us of what we owe the dead and all that they have given us.
Roger Kimball echoes my gut instinct on all of this.
...Voters whose voices you don't hear in the pages of the New York Times and whose rigged Google searches and Facebook hot spots somehow leave out of account. They're sitting at home watching their cities burn, watching monuments to Columbus, to Washington and Thomas Jefferson be defaced or toppled. They see that, and they hear a nonstop litany telling them how racist they are and how evil America is.
And just about now, a great chasm is opening up. The choice, they see, is not so much between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. It is between the America they love -- that Donald Trump celebrates -- and the out-of-control forces of anti-American hatred that, though he does not understand them, Joe Biden manages to blink and nod and gibber around.
Everything that is happening between now and November 3 is about November 3. But the fundamental choice is not really Donald Trump or Joe Biden. It is civilization and America on one side, anarchy and woke tyranny on the other. The Democrats thought they could ride the tiger to victory. Instead, they will be consumed by the monster they created but could not control.
Inshalla.
