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?

Can We Have Abundance In Our Lives?

By Ingrid Courts

Do you have the perfect life? Then you are probably one of the lucky few in life that gets to experience that awesome feeling of abundance. Or you may think that you do. Many people mistake being rich for this feeling as some think that endless amounts of money can buy you anything. That famous saying, 'money can't buy you love' also applies to feeling abundant. It is like baking a cake you need more than just flour to make a cake.

Material things cannot create a state of true happiness in one's own self for any lengthy period of time. They can create a source of insecurity and in some cases replace feelings of love or guilt. Have you ever heard of a mega rich tycoon being happy with just one super car? Probably not. If you had abundance in your life there would not be this need for constant self gratification.

Having abundance is one of the greatest feelings in the world. You will understand your own heart and be able to train your subconscious into a better way of thinking and feeling. It is a sensation we all deep down want to achieve in life. It is a feeling of being at peace with one's self and of those around us.

We don't want to earn more money or chase the dream of winning the lottery neither are we embarrassed if we earn more than those around us just because we are good at our job or enjoy doing our job. As demonstrated there are many ways of reaching this feeling of wealth once you have reached this stage and understood its true meaning can you begin to understand that true feeling of abundance.

So now you say well I am financially well off I can afford what most people can't, I should count myself lucky right? Wrong! If you said well I am well of drive a nice car, own my own house have a great network of friends and a gorgeous wife and three kids. Surely I must have abundance in my life if I have money and friends and family? You still probably do not.

Ask yourself these questions: Do you feel happy inside? Do you worry about your health? Are you overweight or suffer any medical issues like high blood pressure or even stress? In all probability you may feel that not everything now is rosy in your life.

Looking after your body is only one half of your health and getting closer to achieving that feeling of abundance. You need to look after your mind. Stressing out over the littlest things or worrying about those things which are simply not in your control, will not help you. You need to find a way of healing your mind and reaching that abundant feeling.

Imagine you were wealthy with lots of money and a picture of physical health but with no true love or friends that cared about you? Now think what it would be like to feel satisfied with your income, feel healthy and have great family, friends and a partner. Still want to be rich or do you want that awesome feeling of abundance?
