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?

Be The Happy Person And Achieve What You Want With This Special Training

By Pamela Scheffler


Many people are trying to figure out ways they can grow as individuals and personally develop. The key to personal development is that you have to constantly be on the lookout for new tips you can learn about personal development growth and you have to constantly apply those tips. When you do that, then you should feel a change within you.

Before you can respect others or be judged worthy of respect, you must first respect yourself. If you take care of your own health and happiness, you can then overflow into the lives of your loved-ones and colleagues to lift them up as well. Putting others ahead of yourself only happens once you have found your own identity.

Building upon your goals and aspirations to become a better person or even to achieve and conquer new things, you must remain educated and keep your knowledge base expanding. This can be accomplished through tradition formal education or non-conventional methods. By stimulating your mind and body, you can be one step closer to becoming the person you want to be.

Personal development can be stressful, since it presents many challenges as you're looking to change old habits. Try to minimize stress in your life during this period. Minimizing stress can prevent overreacting to stressors. This will make every obstacle more likely to be an eventual success, since overreacting makes us more susceptible to missteps.

If you have both a doctor and a therapist, make sure that they are on the same page. Your doctor and your therapist do not necessarily have to communicate with each other. You might; however, want to keep one abreast of what the other is doing with you. It can avoid later confusion and complication.

If you are experiencing depression, you should turn to people you trust. It's important to remember, your family and friends will be there for you and want to help you. You can also join a support group so you can talk to others that are having the same problems as you.

Remove artificially-sweetened products with aspartame from your diet. Aspartame, contained in Equal and NutraSweet, is responsible for blocking serotonin formation, causing insomnia, headaches, and blue moods in people who already have some serotonin depletion. For a natural sweetener that does not affect serotonin, blood sugar or calorie levels, try stevia.

A great way to self help your depression is to help others by volunteering. Many people who are depressed end up feeling sorry for themselves, but lending a helping hand will give you perspective on other peoples lives while making your own life feel more fulfilled. It is also a great way to meet new people.

Every person should be inspired to continually stretch themselves in terms of personal growth. Life is full of wonder and you should be constantly learning new things about yourself. Seeing how much you can really achieve, is definitely a source of inspiration. So try something new today and see just how far you can make yourself fly.
