70 Karma Quotes, Because What Comes Around Go Around (2022) - Parade Magazine

Image
We've all heard the phrase, "what goes around, comes around." We have probably uttered it once or twice ourselves when on the receiving end of a misdeed or bad behavior and hope that karma will boomerang back and bite our offender in the metaphorical behind for their wrongful action. Karma is a Sanskrit word that roughly means "action, work, or deed." The theory of karma is a cycle of cause and effect: for every intentional action or thought—be it good or bad—there is a reaction that will affect us at some point in the future. When you have a positive attitude and put out kindness into the world, you will be rewarded with goodness in return. Consequently, bad behavior creates negative energy, resulting in bad karma coming back to you. The principle of karma is a driving force in Eastern religions like Buddhism and Hinduism, where the choices you make in this life have an important impact on your reincarnation. But for most of us, karma is more about walking the ...

ENFJ Personality Type: How You See the World and Act in Relationships - PsychCentral.com

Image
Persuasive, empathic, inspiring, and born to help? You may be a Myers-Briggs ENFJ personality, also known as 'the Giver.' Personality is a complex concept. It's natural to want to use a personality test to glean more insight into the puzzle that is your self. And when it comes to personality quizzes and self-assessments, you have lots of options. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is one of those options. It's the popular test behind the four-letter personality types you may have heard about, including the ENFJ personality. The MBTI is one of the most widely used pop psychology systems, says Dr. Elizabeth Lombardo, a psychologist in Chicago. "[It] is a self-assessment tool that helps people figure out their personality type, strengths, and preferences," she says. Once you take the self-assessment, your results will suggest one of 16 personality types. These types come from the possible combinations between four dominant personality trait scales: extroversi...

8 New Romance Novels to Read This Summer - The New York Times

Image
What do these romance novels — featuring ghosts, Greek goddesses, a cardiologist, a fisherman, an astronaut and a Tang dynasty courtesan — have in common? Millie von Platen Is there any real dating in romance novels anymore? Or is it all fake? This is not the first time a trend has reached maximum genre saturation. Think 1990s paranormal (vampires and werewolves and fays, oh my!), and the feverish rise and fall of Goths in the 1970s, to name two. Fake dating is suddenly everywhere you look. Like all romance trends, what's most interesting is seeing the ways authors finesse the raw material to create distinct emotional effects. It's like an episode of "Chopped": Everyone has the same basket of ingredients, but how they work with them makes all the difference. For romantic comedy, we have Nisha Sharma's buoyant DATING DR. DIL (Avon, 364 pp., paper, $12.79) , a retelling of "The Taming of the Shrew" by way of Bollywood musicals and second-generation immigra...

101 Best 'I Miss You' Quotes - Missing You Quotes for Him, Her, Family and Friends - Woman's Day

Image
mjrodafotografia Getty Images Let's face it, being away from the ones you love can feel excruciatingly lonely. Not being around those who brighten our lives and make us feel special is never easy, but often inevitable. In life, various circumstances prevent us from being in the presence of some of our favorite people and we find ourselves searching for "miss you" quotes and sweet messages to express what's in our hearts. The past two years made this longing emotion even more prevalent. Even if you were one of the fortunate ones who were spared separation from your family and friends during the height of the pandemic, just about everyone has missed someone at some point in their lives. Whether it was your family when you left for college, your best friend when she moved across the country, or your significant other when they were away on business, loneliness is never fun. As we know, time is irrelevant when it c...
