I forget, in the course of my long life as a Christian, how many times I have heard people assure me that “God will never give you more than you can handle”. By this they seemed to mean that God knows my emotional limits and capabilities, and will make sure that no disaster befalls me that will tax me emotionally beyond my present strength. Sometimes they affix a Bible verse from 1 Corinthians 10:13 to it to make their case: “No temptation has overtaken you but such is common to man, and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, that you may be able to endure it”. I must report however, on the basis of my long life as a Christian, that the assuring notion that God will never give anyone more than they can handle is nonsense.

Fr. Apostolos talks about the difference that Christ's resurrection makes in our lives.

This is my usual Christmas/New Year reminder to never trust Google’s answers (or Bing’s) on opening times of shops over the holiday season, especially if you are thinking of visiting small, local, independent shops.

LONGER LIFE EXPECTANCY  People are living far longer than they did in decades past. Dr. Roizen says life expectancy in the U.S. has increased 2.5 years every decade for the last 170 years. For example, a woman who was expected to live to age 42 in 1850 is now likely to see age 80. One reason for this, he points out, is better sanitation, public health measures, and vaccines which produced an increase in the survival and health of the young in the first half of the 20th century. In later years,...

Before her husband died, Mrs. Wang was a stay-at-home mom.  She took care of her daughter Yuwen, who was sick a lot. “She caught colds easily,” Mrs. Wang shares.  “The doctor said she was just malnourished, so her immunity was low. He said if I gave Yuwen nutritious food, she’d get better.” As an illiterate widow, Mrs. Wang had no choice but to collect garbage on the streets so she could get groceries for Yuwen. “I bought Yuwen eggs and milk,” Mrs. Wang explains.  “I hoped it would build up her...

At the beginning of the last century, the news about the death of Afghan Emir Abdur-Rahman made headlines all over the world. It was reported that his death could lead to most unpleasant consequences for both Russia and England, and, consequently, for the whole world politics. Kabul - Russia - Kabul Everything flows, but nothing changes. The topic of the Afghanistan crisis has become important again, especially for Russia. England is no longer the same, and the successor - the United States - is a far cry from the current rulers of Afghanistan. After Shir Ali Khan's accession to the throne in 1864, Abdur-Rahman participated in the troops of his father, Afzul Khan, and uncle Azim Khan in the fight against his other uncle, the powerful Emir Shir Ali. He conquered Kabul in 1866, where his father established himself.

If you’re ready to break free from fear and unlock your creative potential, you’re in the right place. Recently, I hosted an epic 5.5-hour live event that brought together some of the brightest minds in creativity, innovation, and personal growth. If you couldn’t join us live, don’t worry—you can still catch the entire event right here. Inside the 5.5 Hour Experience One of the core themes of the event was how fear often holds us back. We explored the idea that “avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.” In other words, playing it safe might just be the riskiest thing we do. I dove deep into how we can stop letting fear dictate our decisions and shared strategies to help you push past that resistance to achieve your best work. But it didn’t stop there. We were also joined by a series of amazing guests including Gary Vaynerchuck, Austin Kleon, Jasmine Star, Adrian Grenier, IN-Q, Stephan Moccio…and Seth Godin joined us LIVE to kick it all off. Seth, a multiple-time bestselling author and marketing genius, launched us into an incredible conversation about creativity, risk-taking, and finding meaning in our work.
