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?

The Relationship Between Motivation And Thought Patterns

By Winston Waltz


It is normal for people to start listing things that they did wrong, when they find themselves in some sort of problem. They start thinking about the work out sessions that they missed on due to their laziness; about the extra calories that they ate up just because they could not help it; about the job opportunities they missed on, etc. nonetheless, they find it hard to find the motivation to do the right thing.

In any case, positive motivation works the best. Negative motivation will not get much done.

If you want to stop smoking, for example, you would need to do it yourself.

You are totally aware of the fact that smoking drains on your economic resources. It is not widely appreciated. By smoking, you are also putting the lives of your loved ones at risk. However, this kind of motivation does not work in most cases.

Positive motivation is what you need. Think of all the good things that will happen, once you quit. You can save money and plan a nice vacation for yourself. This sounds a lot better and motivating than telling yourself how bad is smoking.

This is the system of reward. Rewarding yourself for doing something appropriate strengthens the behavior. This is the theory that is being utilized in schools for the longest time. Children are motivated by being awarded with a star every time they do their homework right. This works better than threatening them with expulsion. Punishment can make children rebellious.

Therefore, whatever yourself improvement goals are, always try to motivate yourself in the positive manner. The outcomes will be in your favor,

This way there is likelihood of you getting what you really desire and in less time than you ever imagined.
