Destiny can mean different things to different people. What does human destiny mean to you? Different people are more opinionated about this than others, some prefer to simply not even think about it. Some of the common responses are things like destiny being the path we’re meant to take, or what you’re meant to be doing. When you have a goal in mind and you’re giving everything you’ve got to chase that goal, it can feel like it is your destiny to achieve it, but does that take away from the credit you deserve for all the hard work? The term human destiny implies that there is some perfect state for us to achieve as a planet. Do you think there is a human destiny for us to fulfill, some giant plan in place that we’re constantly striving towards? Was this all “meant to be”, or just a happy accident for us?

Looking to Darwin’s theories of evolution, it would suggest that rather than there being a destiny or fate for us, where we are and where we are heading as a planet is a direct result of us adapting to what has happened in the past. That is to say, rather than having a set path to follow, instead we are making up the path as we go, based on many factors.

A lot of people won’t have an answer when you ask them their opinion on destiny, at least not immediately. It is not something that everyone thinks about often, however there are others who strongly believe in destiny. It can make it easier to deal with tough times, if you have the belief that everything happens for a reason. If you discount human destiny, it is difficult to console yourself by thinking that whatever happened, happened for a reason. The purpose of this text was not to sway your opinion on the subject, but rather to open a door to you. You can enter this door and continue to think about destiny and what it means to you. If it is something that is difficult to think about, don’t worry – that just means you have an open mind.

Hopefully this text has served it’s above-outlined purpose. Your views on destiny can really shape your views on a lot of things, and the way you live your life. There is no right or wrong answer because whatever works for you is something you get to decide for yourself. This can be an interesting topic to get to know somebody better, so long as both parties are open-minded to somebody with different opinions.

Baby training cups are an essential part of the weaning process, and you will soon discover, that there are many different varieties to choose. The basic design of the training cups are all very similar, with a plastic lid, and unique spout allowing your baby to learn how to drink from cups. However, you will soon discover that your baby will prefer a certain style.

Every milestone in your baby’s life can be a challenge; therefore, you need to ensure that you provide the tools, which will help them to develop further. Training cups are excellent, and allow your baby to drink from a cup without fear they will choke on the liquid. You will also soon discover that a conventional cup can be spilt incredibly easily, causing a mess.

Many baby training cups have a unique spout, which ensures that some suction is required to release the liquid. The valve, which is in the training cup ensures that it can be tipped upside down, with no leakage. Some brands will provide different lids, depending on the age of your baby, which is excellent as the cup grows with your baby.

Initially the spout on the training cup may mimic a bottle or teat, as your baby will need to adapt to the new concept. This design will help the transition from breast or bottle to cup and ensure that your baby continues to enjoy meal times. Introducing the training cup is the first stage of weaning, which every parent needs to go through at some stage.

Parents find that introducing the training cup from about 5 months is the ideal age to begin weaning; this will allow plenty of time for your baby to adjust to the new drinking cup. Many babies find making the adjustment difficult; therefore, you may need to try several different cups. Once you have discovered the cup they want to use, you will find that no other cup will compete.

There is a huge array of different raining cups available, and you will soon discover that they all differ in style and price range. Some have handles, some have hard plastic tops, where as others have soft spouts. You need to be patient, and let your baby try a few before deciding, which one will suit their preference.

You do not need to choose the most expensive cup, and some babies prefer other alternatives. Once you have the right cup for your baby, weaning will be a success, and your baby will move onto the next stage in their life.

Many individuals enter into a healing retreat – known by various names like spiritual retreats and wellness retreats – with unrealistic expectations. The end result is deep disappointment and adamant refusal to ever go to another retreat of any kind, all to the disadvantage of the individual. There are several benefits to getting into a spiritual retreat program, after all, of which the most important is regaining good physical, mental and spiritual health.

To avoid becoming disappointed in spiritual retreats, you must set realistic expectations. You can enter the retreat program ready for its methodologies and its teachings. The time spent in the program should be one of the best times of your life in more ways than one.

What then are realistic expectations from a spiritual program of any length of time?

First, you must work with the coordinators/teachers to attain inner peace, get in touch with your higher self, and strengthe your body, anmong other goals. You alone have the power to make positive changes in your life – neither the teachers who can only provide enlightened guidance nor the mountains that provide the backdrop for the retreat can do this for you.

Second, you must realize that any spiritual program is not intended to “fix” who and what you are at preset. Instead, it is designed to tap into your innate power and energy within your inner self, work with it, and then bring it to the fore of your being. You are unaware of such power and energy but the spiritual retreat program will make you aware of it – and to great results, at that.

Third, you will learn the following lessons but only when you are willing to learn how:

 

• To forgive yourself and others by healing your deep emotional wounds from the past;

• To process intense emotions and to release these in a positive manner;

• To adopt a nutritious diet in order to counteract the buildup of toxins, contaminants and pollutants in your body;

• To identify your self-destructive patterns and then to make constructive changes; and

• To apply the techniques of self-renewal that can be applied in the comfort of your own home.

 

Keep in mind that all of these lessons are for your own benefit. You can choose to apply or not to apply these lessons after your spiritual retreat although we do suggest doing so for your own good.
