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?

Living A Positive Outlook In Life

By Elizabeth Ricks

People like to look at life in two different ways, positively or negatively. The hard part is normally how one views life, and that is what matters. Many guys like talking about looking at life through rosy spectacles, to say that one is always positive about life.

One would say am the more optimistic person because I like seeing things positively and harboring great hope that they would turn out perfectly for me every time, and I like giving this same advice to everyone else.

This is because I like to tell everyone to be more positive and to just, "take things positively until proven otherwise." This works for me all the time and it has always been my mantra.

There is something called self-fulfilling prophecy, which means that if you keep busy seeing the dark side of life most of the times, it will surely invite bad luck into your life.

Whatever thoughts you preoccupy your mind with be they negative or positive ones; will attract the things into your life according to the trend of your thoughts. It is the reason it is highly recommended that you look at life positively.

Even though in life things do not always work out the way you would want them to, but that should not discourage you. It is because even your own reaction to things and your attitude either way will do a lot in dictating how life turns out for you.

A positive attitude and a strong will can definitely work better for you and make good things come your way. If you just believe in yourself and refuse to give up soon enough things will begin to change.

When you keep focusing on the right things and are positive about it all, that will be a major step in the right direction to success.
