Seriously? Enrique Iglesias publicly discusses his package? I don't care how handsome or talented he is, some information needs to be kept private. Do you agree? Obviously not everyone will.

What people are living proof that size doesn't matter?

Spanish-Filipino singer Enrique Iglesias is 6′2″ and incredibly good-looking, a great singer and artist and in a long-term relationship with gorgeous Russian tennis star Anna Kournikova. Prior to dating her, he had his fair share of romantic conquests and even now that he’s settled down, a father and by all accounts a committed man in his forties… he still makes girls swoon everywhere he goes.

Yet in spite of his great looks, his marvelous features and his fame… Enrique Iglesias is a humble man. He does not brag. He does not embellish himself or make himself look better, or ‘bigger’ than he really is…

In spite of his looks, his features, his voice and his fame… Enrique describes himself as having a “very tiny penis”, in his own words: “possibly the tiniest in the world”.

Not the type of admission one would expect from a world-renowned hearthrob and Casanova…, but Iglesias is unashamed. He doesn’t give a damn…

…and why should he? He’s Enrique Iglesias.

What is the heaviest recorded weight for a Nile crocodile?

A specimen shot just after the turn of the 20th century is the largest Nile crocodile considered authentic by the Guinness Book of World Records. This specimen, shot near Mwanza, Tanzania, measured 6.45 m (21’3”) in total length. It’s weight was calculated at 1090 kg (2,401 lb). Scarcely smaller, a specimen from Lake Victoria reportedly measured 6.1 m (20’2”) and weighed around 900 kg (2,000 lbj. Another very large specimen of Nile crocodile killed in 1968 in the Okavango Swamp, Botswana measured 5.87 m (19’4”) was found to have a head (including jaw tendons) alone that weighed 166 kg (366 lb). The piecemeal weight of this specimen was around 816 kg (1,799 lb) and it’s stomach contained 2 goats, half of a donkey and the clothed torso of a woman. Close to 20 specimens have been reported as exceeding 5.5 m (18’2”) with varying degrees of veracity in some cases.

A large Nile crocodile approached and handled on a cool day to limit risk of attach.

A specimen of Nile crocodile estimated to be a very large 5.5 m (18’2”) with a smaller Nile croc

Forced perspective was used with the large deceased crocodile posed considerably in front of this crowd to make it appear gargantuan. In actuality this specimen was not much over 5 m (16’6”).

Few specimens approaching this size are known in Nile crocodiles. Male crocodiles of the species are considered exceptional if they exceed 5–5.5 m (16’6”-18’2”) with few weighing over 590–700 kg (1,300–1,540 lb). An average adult male Nile crocodile may be close to 4 m (13’2”) with a corresponding weight of about 280 kg (620 lb), still a very formidable size and rendering them Africa’s largest continental predator.

A large but unexceptional Nile crocodile is hand-fed. / very risky endeavor with this ornery species.

What are the bitter truths about smart people?

Story Of A Smart Girl Sarah:

As a child, Sarah had always been told that she was special, that she was different from other kids because she was so smart. Her parents and teachers always encouraged her to excel academically, and she worked hard to do just that.

But as she got older, Sarah began to realize that being smart wasn't always easy. She felt pressure to constantly perform at a high level, and she often struggled to fit in with her peers. Despite her intelligence, Sarah found herself feeling lonely and isolated, like she didn't quite belong.

As she entered high school, Sarah began to feel the weight of her own expectations. She was determined to succeed and be the best, but sometimes it felt like no matter how hard she tried, it wasn't enough. She started to feel overwhelmed and burnt out, and she began to question whether being smart was worth it.

One day, Sarah had a breakthrough. She realized that being smart wasn't the only thing that mattered in life. She began to focus on her relationships with others and started to prioritize her own physical and mental health. She learned to be humble and appreciate the strengths and contributions of others, and she found balance in her life.

Sarah realized that being smart came with its own set of challenges and drawbacks, but she also recognized the value of her intelligence and the potential to use it for good. She learned that there was more to life than just being smart, and she found happiness and fulfillment in a way that she never thought possible.

Despite these challenges, being smart also has its rewards. Intelligent individuals often have the opportunity to pursue challenging and rewarding careers, and they may have a natural curiosity and desire to learn and grow. However, it is important for intelligent people to recognize and address the challenges they may face and strive to find balance and fulfillment in all areas of their lives.

The Drawbacks Of Being Smart:

There are several drawbacks of being smart that intelligent individuals may face:

• Arrogance and entitlement. Intelligent individuals may feel like they are entitled to certain things or that they are superior to others, which can lead to arrogance and difficulty in relationships.

• The potential for burnout and mental health issues. The pressure to constantly perform at a high level can be overwhelming and lead to burnout or mental health issues.
• The risk of being misunderstood or underestimated. Intelligent people may be misunderstood or underestimated by others who do not appreciate or understand their intelligence.

It is important for intelligent individuals to recognize and address these drawbacks in order to avoid negative consequences and lead a balanced and fulfilling life.

The importance of humility and balance cannot be overstated for intelligent individuals. Some of the benefits of humility and balance include:

• Humility allows intelligent individuals to recognize and appreciate their own limitations, as well as the strengths and contributions of others. This can lead to more productive and collaborative relationships.

9 Things To Give Up If You Want To Be Happy

Some things prevent us from being happy. We need to notice these things and give up on them to be satisfied.
We need to be serious about it, or we will miss the opportunity to be happy.

1) COMPLAINING- We spend a lot of our energy on complaining, but complaining just exhausts us.

2) LIMITING BELIEFS- These are the source of self-doubts, fears, worries, etc. Most people are prisoners of self-limiting beliefs.

3) BLAMING OTHERS-If something can create endless fights and discussions that are blaming others. Skip this habit, and you will avoid a lot of negative emotions and useless fights.

4) NEGATIVE SELF-TALK-Make a little experiment. Avoid negative self-talk. Try it for one month. And you will notice more positivity in your life.

5) DWELLING ON THE PAST-You can’t change your past. Accept it, learn the lesson, and try to create a life worthy of living.

6) RESISTANCE TO CHANGE-Be open-minded. Learn to adapt to the environment. If anything you need to learn that is to know how to overcome resistance to change.

7) THE NEED TO IMPRESS OTHERS- If you want to impress others, you become the servant of these people. Try to impress yourself.

8) THE NEED TO ALWAYS BE RIGHT- It is normal to not be always right. Perfectionism can create a lot of problems. Don’t take it tragically if you are not right, during our whole life we learn something and improve ourselves.

9) THE NEED FOR OTHER’S APPROVAL- Be free and independent. Approvals of others will make you passive, dependent, and reactive.

The Manifestation of Your Soul to All

January 26, 2023 Thursday of the Third Week in Ordinary Time Readings for Today Saints Timothy and Titus, Bishops—Memorial

Video “For there is nothing hidden except to be made visible; nothing is secret except to come to light.” Mark 4:22 What a fascinating little line in the Gospel for today! What does this line mean? Though many have offered various commentaries upon the meaning of this line, let’s turn to the Catechism of the Catholic Church for some insight: In the presence of Christ, who is Truth itself, the truth of each man's relationship with God will be laid bare. The Last Judgment will reveal even to its furthest consequences the good each person has done or failed to do during his earthly life… (CCC #1039). This passage comes from the section on “The Last Judgment” rather than “The Particular Judgment.” The Particular Judgment will come for all of us at the moment of our passing from this world. It will be an accounting of our sins and virtues before God in a personal and private way. But the Last Judgment will come at the end of time and should be seen as a universal judgment upon all in a very definitive and public way. Thus, this line from the Catechism seems to suggest that both our good actions and evil ones will be revealed for all to see. If the Scripture passage above, as well as the passage from the Catechism, are properly interpreted to mean that during the Last Judgment even our deepest sins, including those that have been forgiven through the Sacrament of Confession, will be made manifest for all to see, this idea can, at first, be a bit frightening. But it shouldn’t be. It should be liberating. If every action of our lives, both good and bad, will be made manifest for all to see at The Last Judgment, then this will result in one thing and one thing alone for those who are in Heaven: the glory of God and much rejoicing! In other words, if God reveals every sin we have committed, then He will also reveal our repentance from those sins, the purification we endured, and the forgiveness we received. Therefore, those who make up the Communion of Saints will not look upon us with judgment; rather, they will glorify God in the same way we glorify God and thank Him for His abundant mercy and forgiveness. We must always remember His forgiveness and continually rejoice in that fact. Therefore, if all truly is made manifest, then it will be so that we can all rejoice together in the incredible mercy of God and can look at each other with gratitude for all that God had done for the other. Reflect, today, upon the possibility of that glorious moment. Imagine the freedom you will experience by allowing God to share the deepest sins and the deepest virtues of your life with all who share Heaven with you. Shame will be gone. Judgment will be gone. Rejoicing and gratitude alone will remain. What a glorious moment that will be! My glorious Judge, I thank You for Your mercy and forgiveness in my life. I thank You for freeing me from all sin. Please continue to purify my soul and free me from even the attachment to all sin. May I never forget all that You have done for me, and may Your mercy become the cause of my eternal rejoicing and Your eternal glory. Jesus, I trust in You.

Becoming an Evangelist

Wednesday, January 25, 2023 Feast of the Conversion of Saint Paul, Apostle Readings for Today

Video “Saul, my brother, the Lord has sent me, Jesus who appeared to you on the way by which you came, that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” Acts 9:17 Saint Paul (who in Hebrew was known as Saul of Tarsus) was a devout Jewish Pharisee who vigorously defended the law. After Jesus’ Ascension into Heaven, the newfound Christian faith began to grow rapidly. As a result, Saul of Tarsus vigorously tried to end this new religion which he perceived as erroneous. He traveled about looking for followers of Jesus to arrest and imprison. Saul even gave his consent to the stoning of the deacon, Saint Stephen, the first martyr. However, on one of his journeys, Saul had a vision of the risen Christ Who spoke to him gently, saying, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?” (Acts 9:4). It was in that encounter that Saul was left blinded for three days. The line quoted above are the words of Ananias, a devout disciple of Jesus. Ananias had also received a vision from Jesus Who told him to go to Saul of Tarsus and to lay his hands on him so that he would be healed. Ananias was also told that Saul was “a chosen instrument” through which the Gospel would be preached to the “Gentiles, kings, and children of Israel.” Though there are many fascinating aspects to the story of Saint Paul and his conversion, it is also inspiring to reflect upon the way in which God first converted him. Jesus was not harsh with Saul. He was not condemning. Instead, he saw the goodness and vigor of Saul and knew that he would respond if he were given the opportunity. Though Jesus used the powerful action of striking him blind, He did so because He saw so much potential for good within Saul. This same truth applies to our lives. Each one of us has incredible potential for good, and God does see this. God is aware of all that He can do with us and is seeking to draw us into His mission of sharing the Gospel with those in need. The question to ponder is whether or not you have responded to the ways that God has spoken to you and invited you to serve Him with your life. Saul’s encounter with Jesus was powerful and transforming not only because he was blinded by this vision—it was powerful and transforming, first and foremost, because Saul wanted to serve God but was trying to do so in an erroneous way. And once that error was corrected, Saul responded in an immediate and complete way. As a result, Saul became one of the greatest evangelists in the history of the Church. Reflect, today, upon the desire in the heart of Jesus to invite you into His mission. Though you may be unaware of the many ways God can use you, Jesus is fully aware. He sees all of your gifts and knows who He wants to draw to Himself through you. Say “Yes” to Him this day and do so with every fiber of your soul. Doing so will allow God to do great things through you. Lord, I do love You and desire to be used by You in the way that You choose. Help me to convert my heart more fully to You so that I can be led by Your gentle and powerful hand. I accept whatever mission You give to me and pray that my life will give You true glory and further Your glorious Kingdom on earth. Jesus, I trust in You.

Doing the Will of God

January 24, 2023 Tuesday of the Third Week in Ordinary Time Readings for Today Saint Francis de Sales, Bishop and Doctor—Memorial

Video “Here are my mother and my brothers.  For whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.”  Mark 3:34–35 Jesus said many things that caused people to pause and think. Today’s Gospel passage is one of those times. Just prior to the passage quoted above, Jesus was told that His mother and brothers were outside looking for Him. After hearing this, instead of going to greet them, He asked those around Him, “Who are my mother and my brothers?” Then He looked around and answered His own question with the above quoted Scripture. What may have caused some people to pause and think at that time, and even now when this passage is read, is that Jesus’ comments can easily be misunderstood. Some will conclude that He was distancing Himself from His own family and that He was even disowning them to a certain extent. But nothing could be further from the truth. First of all, we know that Jesus had a perfect love for His dear mother Mary and that she loved Jesus with a perfect reciprocal love. As for His “brothers,” it was common to refer to one’s extended family (such as cousins) as brothers and sisters. Therefore, these brothers who were coming to see Jesus were relatives to one degree or another. And though our Blessed Mother, the mother of Jesus, was perfect in every way, Jesus’ extended family was not. Recall that some of them thought Jesus was out of his mind and tried to prevent His public ministry. But back to our question: Was Jesus disowning His family members in some way? Certainly not. Instead, He was establishing a deeper context for His new family in grace. Though biological bonds are a gift and must be respected and cherished, the spiritual bonds established by our joint conformity to the will of God is of much greater importance. Jesus simply pointed to this fact, elevating the spiritual family bond over the purely natural. Of course, it’s also important to point out that Jesus' mother was first and foremost His mother, not only because she gave physical birth to Jesus, but primarily because she was in perfect conformity to the will of God with Him and, thus, the most intimate member of His family by grace. And the same can be true for all of us. When we conform our wills to the will of God, we become Jesus’ “mother” in the sense that He enters our world through us. And we become His “brothers and sisters” in that we become intimate members of His eternal family and enjoy a profound and spiritual union with Him. Reflect, today, upon the fact that you are called to be so much more than just a physical brother or sister of Christ Jesus. You are called to the most intimate and transforming familial union imaginable. And this union is more fully accomplished when you seek to fulfill the will of God with your whole heart, mind, soul and strength. My dear Lord, I desire deeply to become more fully a member of Your most intimate family in grace. Help me to always dedicate myself to the complete fulfillment of the will of our Father in Heaven. And as I conform my will more fully with that of the Father’s, draw me deeper and deeper into union with You. Jesus, I trust in You.

Life Is Beautiful

Live your life the way you want. For me I always listen to my heart and here are key and essentials of my life.

1. Live with gratitude- When things are going bad in your life, it is easy to focus on all of the bad (instead of how lucky you are that things are not even worse). For me, gratitude has become my magic fountain of happiness.
2. Love- Love fearlessly. I try my best to do what I love for as many hours possible every day. I love my loved ones. I love my friends amd family. I love reading. I love traveling. It is no surprise that you will find me doing all of those things in a given year with people I love. We cannot control many things in life, but we can control how much love we embrace in our lives.
3. Purpose- When you find your true purpose in life, everything starts to make sense. You stop living for the weekends. You stop thinking about what you are going to do after work. If you examine the happiest people in the world, there are no artificial boundaries between their personal life and their work life. Life is just life. There are no boundaries. There are no limits.
4. No comparison- I have learned that what others are doing in life has absolutely NOTHING to do with YOUR happiness. True happiness comes from unleashing your true greatness in life by doing what you love with people you love. It is evolving into the best version of yourself. Each person has a different destiny. We are all on different paths. We all have our unique gifts, talents, and opportunities. And we are all alone in the quest for our truths. Happiness stems from living an authentic life that truly ignites your soul. Everything else is meaningless. Chase your greatness. Live your life.
5. Forgiveness- I realize that inner peace is one of the greatest treasures in life. For me, forgiveness is the elixir of the soul. Forgive yourself. Forgive others. No one is perfect. We all make mistakes. We all fall down. We all fail. Forgive. It takes strength to forgive. Only the weak cannot forgive. Ironically, when we carry negative energy in our hearts towards others, we can never fully be happy. Let go of everyone who has wronged you. Let go of everything that has brought you misery. Let go of those negative emotions. Embrace the lessons and look toward the future with hope.
6. Happy people- I believe in the Law of Attraction. If you allow negative people in your life, you will become negative and attract more negative people in your life. The opposite is true too. Surround yourself with happy people who live with gratitude and you will see that your life will be happier too. When you are happy, you attract other happy people. Happiness begets happiness. Positivity begets positivity.
7. Never lose your inner child. Nothing is impossible to children, and no one is evil. Yet, somehow when we become adults, we lose that magic. I choose to protect my inner child and live as freely as possible. It would be sad if we all let the bad things and bad people in our lives destroy our inner child and belief in the goodness of the world. Life is beautiful.
8. Don’t chase material things- Happiness is true inner contentment and spiritual peace. Pleasure is fleeting and empty. When you buy a new toy, it brings you pleasure for a few days until you need the next new toy. It is an endless cycle of chasing fleeting things. I prefer to spend money on experiences with my loved ones. Memories are forever.
9. Do good- Give more than you take. I believe in doing good in the world. When we do good, it fills our hearts with happiness.
10. Live in the moment- Life might be full of suffering, but it is also full of beauty and love. I don’t want to miss those moments in life.

That's all.

Hope you'll like it.💫
