“Short stories are tiny windows into other worlds and other minds and dreams. They are journeys you can make to the far side of the universe and still be back in time for dinner” said Neil Gaiman. That aptly describes Tales of the Forthcoming: An Anthology of Science-fiction and Supernatural Short Stories by Steven Blows. You’ll be looking through the windows opening on the worlds of the supernatural/ghosts and science fiction of the future. And rest assured, you’ll also be back in time for dinner!

Sound good? I recommend you check it out immediately.

Do you know the real meaning of 'charisma?' It isn't (of a person) enthusiastic and/or charming: it’s the mark of an astute leader. America was shaped by charismatic leaders since it’s early beginnings.

Posted: 22-Oct-2024

America was founded by Puritan Christians in the seventeenth century. Since then, it was and continues to be a God-fearing nation. However, you may be surprised to know that its leaders have all had an inexplicable, crowd-pulling power called ‘charisma.’ Now, ‘charisma’ isn’t what we commonly think it is; rather, it has a long history dating back to the ancient Greeks, and profound and complex psychological meanings. It defies reason. Otherwise, how did the Germans once choose Hitler, of all, as their leader? Or, did Indians choose M K Gandhi as theirs?

Come, let’s discover the real meaning of the term from Spellbound, a book written an American history professor that traces the origins, rise, and destructive influence of charisma over nearly four centuries of history (1634 – now).

Recommended if you are caught in the maze created by ‘living in the moment’ and can’t find a way out!

Posted: 02-Oct-2024

In our schooldays, we tagged along with our classmates because we craved their recognition and acceptance. This continued when we grew up. We drifted into ‘living in the moment,’ eager to please our peers and family. We didn’t have a plan for the future. Our horizon was today, and never mind if it conflicted with what our minds said was right, we kept doing it anyway... It was a “heart over head” situation that didn’t pay. Living without integrity, meaning, and purpose ultimately took its toll, and we were forced to rethink life when it began to hurt. We were going nowhere but rather round and round in small circles. We weren’t ready for the huge waves that would strike and capsize our life’s boat tomorrow!

Jolted by the realization of the dangers ahead, for the first time, we let our head take control of our lives (of course, the heart stayed, but the head took control!).

That was when the author found the way out by opting for a life of dignity and meaning by doing honest work!

If you’re similarly floundering in life, you may want to take a note out of the author’s life by reading this book.  You too could live a life of fulfillment, dignity, and purpose by introspecting on your situation and applying corrective changes that put you on the path to personal victory TODAY!!
