Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Live in the present. Be yourself. Stay true to yourself.

Answer: Let past experiences be a lesson to you while letting future dreams guide you, but live your life in the present. If you want to live an exceptional life you must discover who truly are by not worrying about things that have not happened yet. Concentrating on the here and now will have a positive effect on your emotional well-being.  Spending too much time thinking about the past or pondering the future limits your ability to move forward at the present time. By living in the present moment, you are accepting everything for what it is worth, that things are complete or whole. At this point, you can forgive yourself for mistake and achieve a piece of mind knowing that all things happen for a reason. Refuse to engage in fearful thinking about the future. If you worry too much about potential disasters in the future you will get mired in doubt and this thinking will impact what you believe to be your purpose in life is. Do the things in life that make you happy so that you can continuously engage with life and the world around you. When you know and understand yourself, you know what you want in life and don’t have to hide behind a mask. In this way, you will build a more meaningful life.  “Self” in this understanding is your unique, individual, and special self who exhibits passions, strengths, and desires that come to life, not the “self” of what others expect of you. Relinquish expectations so that you can focus more on yourself rather than on the tasks of a project or conversation. Examine your own expectations and then let them go so that you can be the real you. The same goes for conditional relationships. Trying to live up to someone else’s expectations gives you little time to discover what you really want. Expectations will only force you to move further away from your true self. By taking care of your “self” and passing up expectations, you will align yourself with your true purpose and meaning of your life. Take off the mask and stop living lies to please others. Lying to others is, in reality, lying to yourself. Don’t try to live someone else’s dream and get off the path that other expect you to take. Instead, find your own authentic self by expressing the truth and confronting your fears.  Suppressing your feelings or following a path that is not your own is not living your “authentic self.” For example, keeping your sexual orientation a secret, living in an abusive marriage, or working in an unfulfilling career are all paths that were not chosen. Once those barriers can be overcome, then pursuit of the true self can begin. First, admit the truth and, second, express the truth to yourself. If you cannot express the truth verbally, keep a journal for your thoughts and self-reflection. Truth is often concealed out of fear, but keeping fear inside without confronting it could create mental, physical, and emotional trauma that will form barriers to discovering the real you. Stand up for what you believe in, not what you were taught to believe. Discovering yourself is finding out what you truly believe in.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Find someone appropriate to marry you. Attend the ceremony, unless you meet the military exemption. Follow the time limits.

Answer: Texas law has specific regulations as to whom can marry someone legally in the state.  Those who qualify: A retired judge of a municipal court and a retired judge or magistrate of a federal court of Texas; a justice of the Court of Appeals or Supreme Court; judge of the Criminal appeals; judge of the district, county, and probate courts; judge of the county courts at law; judge of the courts of domestic relations; judge of juvenile courts; and retired justice or judge of those courts or current or retired justice of the peace. Others qualified to marry people in Texas are a licensed or ordained Christian minister or priest, a Jewish Rabbi, or a person who is an officer in a religious organization authorized by the organization to conduct the marriage ceremony. Seems obvious, but, yes, you have to actually attend the ceremony and so does your partner or you won't be able to get married in Texas.  The exception is if you or your future spouse is a member of the United States military who is stationed in another country in combat or another military operation. After the ceremony concludes, the person who conducts the marriage should record the date and county where the ceremony was performed on the license, and return it to the County Clerk who issued it no later than the 30th day after the date the ceremony is conducted. To be married in Texas, you need to have the marriage ceremony before the 90th day after the date your marriage license was issued.  If you try to get married after that, you won't be able to do so because the marriage license will be expired. Be aware that you have to wait 72 hours after obtaining the license to have the ceremony though. There is an exception for military personnel. The 72 hours is waived if you go through the State of Texas approved marriage education class as a couple and have a completion certificate.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Put a hand on each side of the ball with your fingers spread apart. Bring the ball up over your head. Step forward with your dominant foot and throw the ball.

Answer: While some people prefer to to throw an overhead pass with one hand, utilizing both of your hands will make it so you have more control over the ball. Make sure that your thumb is behind the ball and that your fingers are tightly gripping the sides.  Use an overhead pass if there is a large distance between you and your teammate, if there is a potential for a break down the court, or you need to pass the ball over defenders' heads.  The grip you use on an overhead pass is the same as you'd use for a chest or bounce pass. Lift the ball over your head so that your fingers are pointing towards the ceiling. Your elbows should be pointed forward, in front of you, with your legs slightly bent and your hips squared up. Make sure your dominant foot is slightly behind your other foot.  Do not put the ball behind your head. This is the perfect opportunity for the opposing team to steal the ball from behind you.  Make sure you have identified your target before bringing the ball up over your head. Release the ball by bringing your arms down and snapping your wrists forward.  Keep your elbows in, and aim for the chest of your target. If you need to really get the ball far down the court, a large arc on the ball is good, especially because you want to keep it over defenders heads. If you are closer to your teammate you should limit the arc because it can be easily stolen by a defender.  The bigger your step, the more power you put into your pass. For more accuracy, use your wrists, as opposed to your arms.

Combine chamomile oil with aloe for a pleasantly scented astringent. Mix witch hazel and aloe together for an excellent pore-clearing astringent.

Answer:
Put the aloe into a blender or food processor to get a smooth product to use on your skin. When blended, it will create a thick aloe juice perfect for astringent purposes.  Use as much aloe as you like. However, 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) is more than enough to cover your face and neck. Once blended, pour it into a sealed container and store it inside your refrigerator for up to a week. Place 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of aloe gel into a blender or food processor along with 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) of fresh lemon juice. Lemon juice is another astringent, which will improve the astringent qualities of your aloe juice. Moreover, the lemon juice will prevent your aloe gel from oxidizing.  If you want to create a larger batch of aloe juice, simply use more aloe gel and more lemon juice, maintaining a ratio of 2 parts aloe gel to 1 part lemon juice. It should stay fresh for about a week in an air-tight container in the fridge. Discard it at the first sign of browning or oxidation. There are many things that you can put in your mixture to add more astringency and chamomile is a great choice. Put 10 drops of chamomile oil and 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of aloe in a blender or food processor. Combine the ingredients until the mixture is smooth, which usually takes just 2 to 3 pulses of a blender or food processor.  Chamomile oil is another astringent. It also has a nice smell and contributes vitamins and antioxidants that prevent damage to the skin.  This mixture should stay good for at least a week if stored in an air-tight container in the fridge. Combine and blend together 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of aloe and 6 tablespoons (90 milliliters) of witch hazel extract in a food processor or blender. Put the mixture in an airtight bottle and store it in your fridge, where it will last for 2 weeks. Witch hazel is widely available at pharmacies and natural grocery stores. Look for a product that doesn't contain any alcohol though, as many witch hazel products are highly diluted with alcohol and that dries out the skin.
