Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Manifesting For Beginners

By Claire Skaysbrook

We have all heard many new age gurus tell us that life is what we make it. If most of us spent a few moments and thought about it, we heard those sentiments before. Perhaps it was our grandmother that was trying to encourage us when we were down and out. It may have even been a Jiminy Cricket as he sang when you wish upon a star.

The point is that at some point in our life we have each had someone tell us that we are the masters of our own destiny that we can make our life be whatever we wanted. The power to manifest abundance is within you and only you can manifest abundance in your life.

The reason our life is the way it is, is because we made it so. We need to face this fact of reality. All those mounting bills, the jobs that go nowhere and all our unhappy relationship are things we created all by ourselves.

You need to realize, it is you who has created the life you live. Then you need to know that the power is within you to make a change. You can begin right now to manifest abundance in your life. You simply need to change your way of thinking.

Your thoughts are you most powerful possessions. The way you think creates the life you live. If you think about how to pay all those bills while worrying about them, you will simply create more bills. You create money problems when you worry about money. You create relationship problems when you focus only on the bad things in a relationship.

The key to manifesting abundance will depend upon your positive thinking. You need to concentrate on the good things in your life. Waking up this morning and breathing on your own, having a roof over your head, something to eat and clothing to wear are all good things to concentrate on while creating abundance. You need to realize you are fortunate right now and then be thankful for all those good things. Being thankful for these things opens you up to manifesting more good and worthwhile things.

Do not blame others, since in reality it is the way you think and say is that which creates your current life. You may say that you want happiness, success and wealth; however, you must focus your thoughts and words on being happy, successful and wealthy.

They these experiments, they will work for you. They can help you change your life. Do not spend another minute worrying about money or even how to pay the bills. Start right now, thinking about how much money you do have and how it helps you pay for the things you need.

You need to think and believe that you have all the money you need. Pay close, conscious attention to your thoughts, so that they do not slip away and allow your old thinking patterns to sneak back in. You have to think that you already have everything you want in your life when you want to manifest abundance.

Like attracts like, which means if you are focusing on the good it is going to bring more good in your life. You can improve your life, you can have the life you want you and only you can manifest abundance in your life.
