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?

Understanding What Applied Positive Psychology Is

By Jose Morris


A big struggle for many people in this world nowadays is keeping their mind focused on the good things in life. This is not always completely reflexive since so many people find that society teaches them to look for criticisms in order to make improvements. Applied positive psychology teaches that if you look at the things that are good in your life in the world, and for the things that really make life worth living, you will be able to build on those and make something that is even better.

This is something that definitely takes a lot of practice, so you will not want to expect to master it overnight. Things are always more gratifying when you have to work hard for them, and you will feel very good about yourself once you have put in the work to retrain your brain to see things this way. If you are one of the many people who tend to give up on things after the first few days if they seem too hard, you might want to exercise a little bit of patience so that you can actually get to the positive results.

The best way to learn about this kind of thing is from someone who is actually certified to do it. It is such a complicated and vast subject that if you have someone who is not certified to talk about it trying to apply it to your life, you might get a process that is not at all akin to what real psychologists would do for you. That is why going with the real professionals on the first time is always best.

One of the most difficult parts of this process for many people is the idea of keeping their emotions in check. Human beings naturally have so many different feelings that it makes it incredibly difficult to handle all of them gracefully on a daily basis. Noticing when you have a negative emotion makes it easier to sort through them all.

This is something that is not an automatic cure to all of the problems that you face in life. One the contrary, it is something that can help you figure out what your issues might be. From there, you can solve them much more easily.

You might find yourself inspired to do good deeds in life once you are feeling better inside. Making a positive impact on the people around you can feel very good. It will probably perpetuate a cycle of doing more good deeds and feeling even better about yourself.

It is always good to read up on this subject before you get too far into it. That way, you will not have to feel overwhelmed by all of the new terms and techniques that are coming at you at once. Luckily, there are all kinds of sites that you can look at online to help you out.

A huge part of your positivity is what you surround yourself with. If you are surrounded by negativity, it is very hard to block it out all the time. Sometimes, this means putting yourself into a different situation.
