what do you want from life? (check out 71 things that others want)
by mary jaksch
What do you want from life? Many people struggle with this question. Maybe you do too? Life can get so busy that we don’t have time to really think about what we want out of life. And when we do find what we want, it can seem impossible to achieve it.
I’m planning new eBook. So I’m keen to address what you want to know and what would make a difference to your life. I recently emailed participants of Virtual Zen Retreats and asked, ‘What is the one thing you want from life?’ I got some fascinating answers and want to share them with you. Below you can find some of the responses.
Here’s what other people want from life. Which responses do you resonate with?
spirituality
to have some clarity of mind;
to feel each day more nearer to my inner self, be centered;
to know myself;
to have a greater level of spiritual joy that raises me above our human burdens;
to live with intention and purpose;
to be in the ocean of love and wisdom;
to get a meaningful glimpse of the spiritual good side of everyone I come in contact with;
to learn how to meditate when you do not have a lot of time to do so;
to know how to abandon the shallower world around us to reach greater levels of peace;
to really feel alive. I know that feeling. It doesn’t matter if you feel sad or happy there is a richness to it that is sometimes missing and I feel a dullness;
to feel connected and not separated and lost would change my life;
to stop searching answers to unanswerable questions and just live;
meaningful life
at the end, to be able to say I made a positive change that had a major effect on a large community (leaving the world better off somehow)
the one thing I want out of life is purpose. To find my calling and live it;
by Eric Ward
to know that I am on the path to finding and following my calling;
to help people heal old wounds;
to live with intention and purpose;
to live my life as I do and want, to grow my soul through the lessons;
to be creative;
to learn how to stop myself from being short with my loved ones when they try to be kind;

it would drastically change my life having a clear objective and a clear way of pursuing it;
happiness

to be in touch with life;
to be intimate and less afraid;
peace of mind

by Wonderlane
to honor our bodies, our minds, our spirits – and each other;

to be peaceful so I may be free of these knee jerk responses so that I may act from compassion and wisdom;

to stop my perfectionism and actually do better at work and in everything else;
to have silence in my head;
to turn off that inner voice always talking;
to get rid of unwanted negative thoughts;

how to control anguish, frustration, and not to let others harm you;
not to compare my needs with others and be attached to outcomes to look good;

to achieve my fullest potential in terms of skills that I have;

to feel like I’m not just ‘going through the motions’ at work and remove the feeling that my ‘real’ life is lived outside of work

happiness
to feel more free, and that my many, many obligations would not be an obstacle to feel free.
to know that what I’m doing is worthwhile – raising kids, the work I do, the way I live my life and interact with people.
to make a positive difference for people close to me. and therefore be happy.
by Steve Sawyer

In the light of these responses, it seems that what most people yearn for is to feel peaceful, to be relieved of self-doubts, and to engage in meaningful work.

Bad ‘supermoon’ rising?
Tokyo Japan's devastating earthquake comes a day after a warning that an extreme "supermoon" would spark chaos across the globe.
While astronomers and other scientists suggest everyone just take a chill pill and enjoy the prospect of a larger moon on March 19, internet is abuzz with doomsday prophecy - termed by US astrologer Richard Nolle as moonageddon.
Supermoons are closer to Earth and occur every 10 to 20 years - the most recent being in 1955, 1974, 1992 and 2005.
On March 19, the moon will be 356,577 kilometres from Earth, the closest it has been since 1992.
And weather bloggers noted that the last monster tsunami in Asia on Boxing Day 2004 was just a week before the January 2005 supermoon.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On March 19th 2011, the moon will make its closest approach to Earth in almost 20 years, possibly triggering earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other disasters.
The phenomenon, called lunar perigee or Supermoon, happens when the moon reaches its absolute closest point to Earth. On March 19, the natural satellite will be only 221,567 miles away from our planet.
There were Supermoons in 1955, 1974, 1992 and 2005, and these years had their share of extreme weather conditions, too. Although there are scientific laws that say the moon affects the Earth, it's still ambiguous whether the lunar perigee and natural disasters is coincidence or not.
Two days after online warnings that the Supermoon might trigger disasters, the devastating Japanese tsunami forced everyone to think - could the movement of the moon cause natural calamities?
"Supermoons have a historical association with strong storms, very high tides, extreme tides and also earthquakes," the Daily Mail quoted astrologer Richard Nolle, who first coined the term in 1979, as saying in an interview with ABC radio.
However, scientists dismiss this as utter nonsense.
Dr David Harland, space historian and author, said, "It's possible that the moon may be a kilometre or two closer to Earth than normal at a perigee, but it's an utterly insignificant event."
Professor George Helffrich, a seismologist at the University of Bristol was equally dismissive.
"Complete nonsense. The moon has no significant effect on earthquake triggering. If the moon triggers "big" earthquakes, it would trigger the many of millions of times more "small" earthquakes that happen daily. There is no time dependence of those; hence no moon effect," he said.
According to Dr Roger Musson, of the British Geological Survey (BGS), the devastating earthquake occurred because the Pacific Plate is plunging underneath Japan.
However, while hoping for a non-disastrous ‘moon giant’, point your eyes and camera lenses toward the night sky on 19th. If the sky is clear, you’re gonna get an exceptional celestial treat.
On March 19, moon will be closest to earth since 1992
Japan's quake comes just three weeks after the earthquake which devastated Christchurch in New Zealand killing hundreds.
However, experts deny that supermoons are responsible for these apocalyptic events.
Pete Wheeler, of the International Centre for Radio Astronomy, explained: "There will be no earthquakes or volcanoes erupting, unless they are to happen anyway.
"The Earth will experience just a lower than usual low tide and a higher than usual high tide around the time of the event, but nothing to get excited about."

Cricket World Cup

The Cricket World Cup is an international One Day International (ODI) competition in men's cricket. Organised by the International Cricket Council (ICC), the tournament has taken place every four years since it was first held in 1975 in England. The number of teams and number of matches have increased since then, although the ICC has declared an interest in reducing the format,[1] following criticism of the most recent competition, the 2007 World Cup.[2]
Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar holds an array of individual records in the World Cup. One of the Wisden Cricketers of the Year in 1997, and "the most worshipped cricketer in the world",[3] Tendulkar has made more scores over fifty, hit more centuries and scored more runs than any other cricketer in World Cup history. Australian Glenn McGrath dominates the individual bowling records, having featured for his country in four World Cups.[4] He has taken more wickets at a higher strike rate with a better economy rate than any other bowler, and has the best individual bowling figures in the history of the tournament.
Australians Ricky Ponting and Adam Gilchrist lead the individual fielding records. Ponting is the leading fielder in terms of catches made, in both an individual World Cup tournament and in the competition's history. Wicketkeeper Gilchrist has made the most dismissals in a single match, an individual tournament and in World Cup history. Australia hold several team records, including those for the most wins, the highest win percentage, the most consecutive wins and are the current holders; they were undefeated in the 2007 Cricket World Cup campaign.
Records are also kept of unsuccessful performances. These include Canada's lowest score in the history of the tournament, Zimbabwe's record number of matches lost and Canadian Nicholas De Groot's three consecutive ducks.

Lowest score Canada v Sri Lanka (2003) 36 Namibia v Australia (2003) 45 [6]
Highest successful run chase Sri Lanka v Zimbabwe (1992) 313-7 England v West Indies (2007) 301-9 [7][8]

Lowest winning margin (runs) Australia v India (1987) 1 Australia v India (1992) 1 [10]
Highest win % Australia 74.63% South Africa 65.00% [11]
Most wins Australia 51 England 36 [11]
Most losses Zimbabwe 33 Sri Lanka 30 [11]
The result percentage excludes no results and counts ties as half a win.[11]
Both of the closest margins of victory occurred in matches featuring Australia and India. However, there have also been three tied matches in World Cup history.[12]
The first was in the 1999 Cricket World Cup semi-final, in which a run out in the final over with only one run required prevented South Africa advancing to the final instead of Australia, who progressed on head-to-head record against South Africa.[13] The second tied match, in the 2003 Cricket World Cup in South Africa, was a case in which the Duckworth-Lewis method caused a South African loss against Sri Lanka. With the onset of rain, the South African batsmen achieved the score they believed was required to win the match and then blocked out the last ball of the over to avoid losing wickets, however, the score they believed indicated a win actually indicated the score required to tie the match. This tie meant South Africa could not advance to the Super Sixes stage.[14] The third tie happened in a group match between Ireland and Zimbabwe at Kingston in the 2007 Cricket World Cup.[15]
In 2007, South Africa scored 353/3 in a rain-shortened match against the Netherlands. Their effort came from a shortened game of 40 overs, a run rate of 8.83 runs per over.[16]
The highest team total in a World Cup took place in the 19th match of the 2007 World Cup, when India scored 413 runs against Bermuda (a run rate of 8.26). Having lost to Bangladesh in their first match, India needed to win and their batsmen responded, also equalling the record for most sixes (18) in a match.[17][18]

The trophy awarded to the winners of the Cricket World Cup
The Cricket World Cup is an international One Day International (ODI) competition in men's cricket. Organised by the International Cricket Council (ICC), the tournament has taken place every four years since it was first held in 1975 in England. The number of teams and number of matches have increased since then, although the ICC has declared an interest in reducing the format,[1] following criticism of the most recent competition, the 2007 World Cup.[2]
Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar holds an array of individual records in the World Cup. One of the Wisden Cricketers of the Year in 1997, and "the most worshipped cricketer in the world",[3] Tendulkar has made more scores over fifty, hit more centuries and scored more runs than any other cricketer in World Cup history. Australian Glenn McGrath dominates the individual bowling records, having featured for his country in four World Cups.[4] He has taken more wickets at a higher strike rate with a better economy rate than any other bowler, and has the best individual bowling figures in the history of the tournament.
Australians Ricky Ponting and Adam Gilchrist lead the individual fielding records. Ponting is the leading fielder in terms of catches made, in both an individual World Cup tournament and in the competition's history. Wicketkeeper Gilchrist has made the most dismissals in a single match, an individual tournament and in World Cup history. Australia hold several team records, including those for the most wins, the highest win percentage, the most consecutive wins and are the current holders; they were undefeated in the 2007 Cricket World Cup campaign.
Records are also kept of unsuccessful performances. These include Canada's lowest score in the history of the tournament, Zimbabwe's record number of matches lost and Canadian Nicholas De Groot's three consecutive ducks.

The result percentage excludes no results and counts ties as half a win.[11]
Both of the closest margins of victory occurred in matches featuring Australia and India. However, there have also been three tied matches in World Cup history.[12]
The first was in the 1999 Cricket World Cup semi-final, in which a run out in the final over with only one run required prevented South Africa advancing to the final instead of Australia, who progressed on head-to-head record against South Africa.[13] The second tied match, in the 2003 Cricket World Cup in South Africa, was a case in which the Duckworth-Lewis method caused a South African loss against Sri Lanka. With the onset of rain, the South African batsmen achieved the score they believed was required to win the match and then blocked out the last ball of the over to avoid losing wickets, however, the score they believed indicated a win actually indicated the score required to tie the match. This tie meant South Africa could not advance to the Super Sixes stage.[14] The third tie happened in a group match between Ireland and Zimbabwe at Kingston in the 2007 Cricket World Cup.[15]
In 2007, South Africa scored 353/3 in a rain-shortened match against the Netherlands. Their effort came from a shortened game of 40 overs, a run rate of 8.83 runs per over.[16]
The highest team total in a World Cup took place in the 19th match of the 2007 World Cup, when India scored 413 runs against Bermuda (a run rate of 8.26). Having lost to Bangladesh in their first match, India needed to win and their batsmen responded, also equalling the record for most sixes (18) in a match.[17][18]

Sachin Tendulkar holds numerous batting records, including those for the most centuries, most fifties and most runs. He also has the most Man of the Match awards.[33] Tendulkar's exploits, together with those of Rahul Dravid and Sourav Ganguly, mean that Indians hold the top three highest partnerships in World Cups.[34]
