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?

Learning Ways To Acquire An Optimistic View In Life

By Carol D. Carrico


Optimism is a good aspect in making life better for you. You need to be a positive person so that you can do away with any challenges that comes your way. Take the following steps to ensure you have a positive attitude in life.

Sometimes, we land ourselves in a dire and hopeless situation. We try to think of ways on how we can further ourselves in life but we are too caught up being on the negative side that we forget that there is also a positive side to everything.

Take advantage of the power of the mind as it takes over matter. Think of happy thoughts and you can find different methods to get yourself out of a sticky situation.

When you wake up in the morning, say affirmations to yourself. Tell yourself that you can do a lot of things today and there is no one in this world that can stop you from doing good things. You can achieve great things just by thinking this way.

Do an act of kindness everyday. Even if it is just a simple errand for your mother or saving a kitten from a branch, it will make you feel good about yourself and make you feel even more positive too.

Be aware of negative habits. Although you are currently practicing some positivity in your life, you will always hit a road bump and resume your negative ways. Observe what happens when you become pessimistic and see what you can do to turn it back around.

Learn to admit your mistakes and the lesson it gives you. You might feel that you can overcome all obstacles but there will always come a time that you will falter on your mistakes but you can always stand straight again when you learn from your mistakes.

Optimism is one of the hardest qualities of a person to maintain. It is always easy to give up and throw in the towel. But, you become the biggest loser in life and you only let yourself down. With optimism, you get to see another side of you that can do whatever life throws at you.
