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?

Poor Self-Esteem - An Issue That Can Be Resolved

By Evelin R. Ratliff


It is very difficult to have confidence issues when the world is full of it. People around you exude confidence and you find it difficult to find it yourself. In a world where confidence is the key to getting everything, it makes it more important to regain your confidence as fast as possible. The following are tips on how you can get your confidence back.

There are several aspects as to why people who have high self-confidence crashes to the bottom. One of which is their insecurities to other people. When someone much better and have all the skills that you want to have appears, you hide under yourself and get discouraged.

Begin to trust yourself with everything you do rather than doubt yourself with the things that you are doing. The reason with insecurities is doubt and when you begin to doubt you begin to lose confidence.

Another major aspect about confidence is the physical aspect. In a society where people are being judged with their physical look, it is easy for one to lose their confidence. If you have a physical flaw, you are easily ridiculed. But now, thanks to science, you can easily hide that flaw or better yet, remove that flaw and regain your confidence.

Most people are not able to handle criticisms very well. They are narrowed down next to nothing when people throw criticisms at them. The next time you hear someone criticize you, listen up and ask yourself why they criticize the way you walk or the way you talk. There must be something that other people noticed that you did not.

Learning how to accept yourself for who you really are makes up a lot of ground in recovering your inner confidence. Knowing yourself and knowing your limits makes you feel good about yourself and when you feel good about yourself, your inner confidence surfaces.

It is sometimes good to go back to your past and see which ones have been able to get your confidence up. For instance, if you found out that people love the way you look back then and it made you feel confident, do get back on that look and see if it still works for you.

Having your confidence restored will ultimately mean having your life restored. When you are able to face any adversary with confidence, you know that you are able to take it down and make it your own.
