Why should i be grateful for life/living?
a lot of people feel like you do. its called the anger stage. hopefully youll get over it and be able to appreciate some of the abstract notions of some kind of religion. if you do not like devotion, why dont you try something with meditation, like buddhism. i only say that, because youre going to give yourself indigestion.
How to have a voice as powerful as Lea Salonga!!? PLEASE READ?
Hello. I am a voice teacher and think I can offer a little advice on singing with more power. First (as I almost always do) I would recommend seeking out a private instructor if that is possible. Individual instruction from someone who is in the room with you to see and hear you can't be replaced by any other sort of self-teaching or book or video, etc. Having said that, for power you have to breathe well, and to place your voice well. To check your breathing try the following 'tricks' and compare them to how you breathe when you sing currently. When you breathe your shoulders should remain more or less still and not rise at all. Instead you should feel as if your belly is filling with air. Pretend to smell a rose and you will get the idea of taking a good breath. Then when you sing your belly should remain firm as you exhale (though it will draw in some naturally as you empty your lungs). Put your hand on your belly and cough. The outward thrust you feel is the same sensation you should feel if you sing out loudly and suddenly. When practicing your singing sometimes keep your hand on your belly to check for that firmness, which is a rudimentary way of saying support. The other issue in power is placement. This is a much more difficult concept because unlike breathing which involves real physiology (lungs, diaphragm, etc) placement is more about visualizing your singing in ways that don't actually relate to real body parts. The best way I can describe my own placement for 'power singing' is that the sound is seems focused outside of my head, just in front of my forehead and hovering above my nose. Obviously this isn't literally true, but the image helps me to take all tension out of my throat while getting high volume and penetrating tone. I hope this is helpful! Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Donny@pecknelmusic.com (800) 868-2275
Why do most people get offended/angry when you give them advice? Isn't it better to share what you know?
I personally do not mind when people share it but I do mind it when they share it when I haven't asked for it and then get upset when I don't take the advice. I have some well meaning people give unsolicited advice and get upset if I don't take it or do it. If I ask for advice and several people give me advice I may take it or not or take a little of this person's advice and a little of that person's advice. Share what you know to willing people.
How helpful and effective is gratitude in changing your life?
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. ~Melody Beattie

Boyfriend chose porn over me. Need some serious advice!?
My boyfriend and I have been dating for two and half years, and he is normally a wonderful guy who I am very grateful to have. However, I've told him before that I don't like when he watches porn when we have sex every day. If I'm out of town or we're apart- fine! I don't mind. Obviously there isn't someone there to have sex with him, so I understand. But I don't understand why he would need to masturbate to porn when he has really good sex with me on the same day! Recently, we've been having sex every day and I've found porn on his computer. When I confronted him, he basically told me to get over it, that every guy does it, and "good luck" finding a guy who doesn't. Does this seem like an addiction? Can we have a healthy relationship if he must look at porn, even on the days that we have sex? I know if he started turning down sex with me for porn, the relationship would be over, but it hasn't gotten to that point yet. I know I am an attractive girl, so I don't understand why he still needs these girls on the computer. It's really beginning to crush my self esteem. Please don't tell me to get over it or leave any harsh comments, it's really unproductive for everyone. I really need some serious advice.. please!
What should I do when someone appreciates me? It's not like I don't say thank you or be grateful. It's just that I dont know if i should laugh, or if I deserve that or not? Also, i feel if I start thinking too much about it I become over confident.
“I’m glad” with a smile and wamth“I am happy to help”“You are worth it”“Thank you. That makes me feel so good!”There is no such thing as “over confidence” if you smile and who's your warmth and kindness/graciousness or magnanimity
