The Inner Light of Identity

 

Human beings tend to focus on character traits, roles and learned behavior to cope with the world around them, but our true selves exist whether we acknowledge them or not. It’s difficult to separate true identity from the created identity thrust upon us, but when we recognize our divinity, we cannot help but live authentic lives of gratitude and appreciation.

Rediscovering who we are takes courage and it can be difficult unlearning learned behaviors. As we reconcile our spiritual and physical self, as well as our inner and outer worlds, a sense of wholeness will be felt, and our inner light will radiate through. It’s our inner light that unites humankind, and brings love and peace to earth.

The Gift Of Reconnecting With Old Friends

 

Every person that passes through our lives makes an impression whether that is small or big, and whether they stay for a short period or a long period. When a friend from the past reappears, it’s a gift.  

Friends that reappear can act as messengers, reminding us of something we have forgotten to take care of or nurture within us. Friends can teach us to react to an old situation in a new way or solve unresolved issues so that we may move forward in our lives.

When fate brings old friends back, it’s usually for a good reason. Embrace old friends and stay open to benefit from the message. A renewed contact is a gift that should not be taken for granted.

How to Combat Worry?

 

Gratitude is known to affect our brains at a biological level just like antidepressant drugs Wellbutrin, which increase dopamine and Prozac, which increases the neurotransmitter serotonin. When we feel grateful, it activates the brain region that produces dopamine and serotonin.

 

Gratitude makes brains happier, not the achievement of goals. When we achieve a goal, we become briefly happier, but then we look for the next thing to bring us joy. Furthermore, our connection to other people (and our appreciation of others) makes us happier so we must deepen our social investments in the middle of stressful situations or events.

 

Remember, being happier will make us more successful, not the other way around. Simply put, to be happy be grateful and connect with others. It’s all about good habits which will overcome genes every time. I give gratitude a thumbs-up!!!

There Is No Fear In Love

The world defines freedom as a life without any restraint. The world says we can have our freedom, but only by being totally selfish.

Real freedom can be achieved when we’re free from fear, where we’re truly free from guilt, bitterness, and worry. When we’re free to quit pretending, for example, by the clothes we wear and the status we hold then we can be free to be ourselves.

How to get rid of fear? Just remember we are all loved by the source of humankind. That’s the secret of self-esteem. We are loved and there is no need to prove it!

The Hot Dog Is A Celebrity In Its Own Right

The Hot Dog is not just an American icon, but a celebrity in its own right, appearing in hundreds of movies, books, television shows, commercials and more. Show-business personalities and sports celebrities are often seen and photographed eating hot dogs.

A trip to a hot dog restaurant was the focus of a Seinfeld episode created by comedian Jerry Seinfeld. It has been said that Babe Ruth loved his hot dogs and binged on them before his games. Barbra Streisand had hot dogs delivered to London for a private party.

There are many types of hot dogs but the spicy chili sauce topping is all the rage. At Hotdogue Culture we believe the hot dog deserves its own star on the Walk of Fame!

What Does A Greek Poet Have In Common With A Hot Dog?

 

Sausage is one of the oldest forms of processed food, having been mentioned in Homer’s Odyssey as far back as the 9th Century B.C.

 

Although most hot dogs are made from pork and beef, recent health concerns around the nutritional content of traditional versions encouraged producers to provide healthier alternatives. Hot dogs made from turkey or chicken are available in most supermarkets, and many meatless alternatives (vegetables or soy products) are also available.

So, go ahead and choose a healthy alternative and add some nutritional chili sauce from HotDogue Culture. Hmmm, delicious.... Homer would be jealous!!!

Is a Hot Dog a Sandwich?

Hot dogs are processed protein, surrounded by processed carbohydrate so one might call them a sandwich. On the other hand, hot dogs are cylindrical in shape rather than prismatic, and vertical rather than horizontal in orientation. Here are five reasons why the hot dog is not the same as a sandwich:

 

1.   Imagine being at the ballpark with the organ playing, the crowd cheering and a vendor walking through the stands saying “Sandwich, get your sandwich here!”

 

2.   If you were watching a great athlete showing off during a game, you don’t call him a sandwich.

 

3.   Dirty Harry would not have sounded nearly as ominous if he said, “Never ever put mayo on a sandwich.” But when he said, “Never ever put ketchup on a hot dog,” people sat up and listened.

 

4.   Marlene Dietrich didn’t say that champagne and sandwiches were her favorite foods; it was champagne and hot dogs she loved.

 

5.   Babe Ruth wasn’t sent to the hospital and rumored to be dead because he ate too many sandwiches.
