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?

Tools To Develop Self Confidence

By Shaz Mkenzy

Being confident in who you are what you can do can make you happier as it allows you to do more and achieve more in life. Although there are some people who do not have a problem in being confident, for some people, confidence is not something that just comes naturally. If you are wondering how you can build or increase your self-confidence, here are some great ideas that you can try.

1. To start with, try carrying out a challenging activity or sport. Should there be something that you've never thought you would get into or accomplish, then this is the time to get out and take action. Be it a new sport or perhaps a difficult activity, doing it and achieving something while accomplishing this would certainly enhance your confidence.

2. Try to help someone else once in a while. Through helping others, you would not only manage to do good things for other people, however you would also feel that others appreciate what you're doing for them. This may ultimately make you more confident in yourself and in what you are able do for others.

3. Another way to increase your confidence would be through exercising. Exercising would not only improve your overall health but also make you feel good about yourself. This is because engaging in physical activities release endorphins that can uplift your spirits.

4. You may also try expanding your knowledge through reading more. Make it a point to keep yourself updated with all the latest news and information about various subjects. By knowing more, you'd probably feel more confident about voicing out what you know and how you feel about different topics.

5. Do something new. By engaged in a new activity, you could find out what you are capable of and moreover develop the abilities that you already possess. New activities may also serve as a terrific way to meet and interact with other people, allowing you to build your confidence in socializing with others.

6. If there is someone that is constantly putting you down or causing you to feel small, it is about time to let that person know your feelings about what they are doing and you will be expecting something different from now on. If that person continues to deal with you in the same manner, just avoid them and make new friends with other people.

7. It also helps to spend more time with the people who would love and support you for who you are and for what you can do. This is because they would always be there to encourage you and help you build your confidence in whatever you do, whether you fail or succeed.

Through doing these things, you would be able to be more confident in yourself and in your abilities. When you are confident, you would notice that more opportunities are opening up around you and that you are able to do more, ultimately leading to happier and a more fulfilling life.
