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?

Two Practices To Help Boost One's Level Of Assertiveness

By Jervis Dickinson

It is very simple. If you are not sure yourself, nobody is ever going to agree to you. Being assertive is an asset. It is good to be assertive.

Two strategies are there to help individual become more assertive. One approach deals with your outwardly demeanor. These techniques has to with how to voice your opinion and how you argue in a situation.

The second one relates to your inner self and your inner confidence. It has to do with your self-perception. What do YOU think of yourself? The problem is that the majority of techniques work on your outer self, and how you deal with people. These techniques are of no help unless you have solid inner foundation.

Only a few work on your inner self. If you have weak inner core, then your outwardly confidence would not get you anywhere.

However, if you are in control your emotions, then you will be able to persuade others better. Your arguments will be logical.

In case, you are anxious and unsure, and you are not feeling in a situation, it is better to postpone the discussion to some other time. This way you will be allowed sometime to calm yourself, and work on your arguments.

Hence, if you want to become assertive, the best way to do this is to change your inner self. Indulge in positive self-talks.

Tell yourself repeatedly that you are worthy of everything. This will prevent you from shying away in challenging situations.

You can do that by doing positive self-talks. Say to yourself that you are in right when you make those requests and that you are good enough to be values.
