Dr. Randy Wysong's Articles in General Self Help

  • Where To Live
    The allure of greener pastures can fill us with hope and promise. Moving from one's home locale is also often done to escape problems. Pulling up stakes is a serious decision that, more often than not, is not a wise move.
  • Things Mound Up
    Life is not a matter of here today and gone tomorrow. Choices we make accumulate over time to create burdens that eventually must be either psychologically or physically dealt with. Guiding life with intelligent foresight is the key to long term happiness.
  • Surviving Tragedy
    Everyone will suffer the loss of a loved one at some time in life. There are principles to learn and keep in mind so that when tragedy does strike you can take the steps that will speed healing.
  • Self Determination – Making The Most Out Of You
    Modern society makes growing up difficult. Dependence on the commercial world traps us as mindless consumers. Health and happiness require that we break the chains and become more self-determined and -sufficient.
  • Murphy’s Law
    Life never seems to go exactly as planned. However, without surprises, failures and disappointments we cannot grow and improve. Learning and growing is what life is all about.
  • Life’s Predictability
    Although life is uncertain, the stages we pass through are quite predictable. Such developmental stages do not end with achieving adulthood but continue through all of life. Being aware of the transitions makes us more prepared to live a better life.
  • Life Is Uncertain
    Try as we may, life cannot be perfectly scripted. Nor should it. Its ups, downs and surprises create the experience that is necessary to become better people.
  • Learn From History
    We either learn from history or we are doomed to repeat it. The wise not only pay attention to world history, but the experiences (history) of others in order to avoid making mistakes.
  • Decency
    In our age of freedoms it becomes ever harder to draw lines. But if standards are not adhered to society is threatened by a moral meltdown. We must realize that freedom is relative and only possible if there are rules.
  • Conscience
    Conscience is not something that is trained into us. It is an innate potential that each of us has the responsibility to tune to, not a skill that is learned by others imposing their will upon us.
