LIFE BEFORE DEATH

We have but one chance at it before we eventually die, it's called life, it comes without Government Health Warnings, medical health warnings, it comes without conditions and it certainly has no guarantees. It has nothing to do with useless politically correct imbeciles and birth has comes to each and every one of us unrequested, regardless of what New Age people say or anyone else says. If we did make that choice we can't remember so it's pointless dragging what we don't know around with us as an explanation. We can leave all the fuddled messes of today on to politicians who seem to relish in diatribe of the moment. How we start and finish life is the way it is, it's not pre-destined nor luck based nor anything else it's all a series of situations, coincidences (which are concurrent situations) and personal effort, how it comes together given almost identical parameters can be as different as chalk and cheese. Life whether we like it or dread it it's what it all is. As soon as we are able to make our way forward it's down to us, rightly or wrongly it's down to us. Forget others expectations, forget what others do and don't do, forget what we would like to happen, forget what you read in the press and see on television, forget the "self help" books, it's what is in your head and heart that will decide what you do and how you do it. You are the only one to steer your ship - no one else. Advice, well one never ever accepts advice from anyone who has an aspiration less than your own, otherwise you will get a stilted answer full of others failings, fears and insecurities. Only positive people count in life.

As a human being where you are right now is a product of yourself, circumstances come and go, missed opportunities are in abundance, situations come and go too, but you as a sentient human being are here to stay until such a time as you cease to exist anymore as a humanoid, your spirit will have departed leaving a cold fleshy carcass behind. It's all very morbid and grounding stuff but that's the bottom line. How you think from day to day is down to you, what you see and feel and think are only your thoughts never anyone else's, even if you choose to copy others - it's your decision.Whatever breaks or help you ever get it's still you who has to walk the walk and talk the talk. The moment you die you lose the emotions of life, you lose the love element too, it has no place is a corpse as it's literally ashes to ashes - dust to dust in reality. One has the option of making life good or not so good, there are no magic wands out there despite the enormous amounts of money people spend on seeking answers and solutions to life from so called gurus who do little more than collect sad followers who know no better and give up their own thoughts for those of someone else, and of course pay for that privilege. One only has to read the comments on Twitter and Facebook and other social sites to see how many people out there are completely or very nearly completely disjointed with life and spew out diatribe about virtually nothing of value, wallowing in their own plight without any positive elements of seemingly wanting to change. It's not that difficult to change, but if you wallow on where you are you'll always miss out on the solutions, it's not rocket science.

If in this life before death you believe in God (not religious rubbish) then you will have a set of mind constructs as to how you live life and an understanding about where you are any why and the hope of the future and abilities to make it happen. If you don't believe in God then you make it up as you go along as it's all a blank canvass so one does one's best, or hopefully so. Morals are subjective even stemming from the same base, what one thinks is immoral others aren't too fussed about, so we have in society with a dichotomy of provocative thought based structures that tend to make us do and react in certain ways. The base as mentioned in many of my blogs is love, we are a love based society and falling out of love produces some of the most horrific problems imaginable. Love is holistic in that it encompasses everything even in the legal and financial worlds where love is almost seen as an enemy as it's against greed and winning at all costs even if wrong. Love is fair and just and moral and understanding and compassionate and STABLE and wholesome and happy and fun and restful and joyful and great and wondrous and alive and unselfish and trustworthy, it heals and it also makes you smile easily too. Take love away and all the opposite elements of those stated start creeping into life and make it a shell in which one inhabits and in many cases just exists on a day to day basis with a view that tomorrow is empty and nothing to look forward to. Loneliness is an absence of love and loneliness is a vast problem in the world today, nothing to do with the desire for a partner it's an inner self feeling that over rules one's thoughts on life. Living a life with a void almost gives rise to a degree of dysfunctional thoughts and feelings, love fills all voids.

In our world mental health is becoming an issue that it never once was, it's not on an illness based situation but a self caused effect based on too much information from extraneous sources and not enough solutions that have a positive outcome, it's called the "Hour Glass Effect". Our ability to process information within our present circumstances highlights problems but not proportionately and of course all problems when combined with our "emotions" all hell is let loose. It's literally "showtime" in the mind and we get bouts of sleeplessness with the "mind gremlins" coming out to dance and jive to our mental unrest and then the party really starts to rock n roll. We see it first hand with celebrities who just can't hack what's going on then it's booze, drugs, rehab, psychiatrists and it's another life from there onwards. Our life is in our hands, it's not always easy but then there is nowhere that says it would be or will be, if we veer off the beaten track then that's where we will go, if we do nothing then by default life will take us where it wants to go, so if we arrive at a destination which isn't of our choosing then we only have ourselves to blame. We are not talking perfection here just life strategies that effect everyone no matter where they are. Often causes and effects are very hard to administer to and even understand, in areas in Africa children are born by the dozen to families that still can't feed their current children then comes a drought or floods and it's beyond the pale with almost predictable results.

The differences in humanity around the world are what the world consists of. The great nations are great - as such - because of their ideology and world understanding. Many of the poor nations who are sitting on a vast wealth are inept both mentally and educationally to see the bigger picture in global terms, always introverted by greed and self value and there it all crumbles into the dust in which they already live. Life before death for everyone is a complexity of areas that most take well within their stride, but for the increasing numbers of people it is now becoming a problem of understanding that's unnerving and causes untold unrest within. The solutions are there, the release valve is there if only accessed, but it's the self that can only do it, it's not possible to utilise a remote control and then everything will be alright - unfortunately.

THE POWER OF HOPE

Hope is an essential aspect of our lives, it’s not some woolly thought that we have that we win the lottery or it stays fine for the bar-b-q at the weekend, it’s something far more fundamental, for real hope can be our guiding light especially in times of turbulence and darkness. Our hope for life and what it represents in life to us all can differ greatly, some people are gregarious, some timid or introverted, some plane greedy and selfish, others egotistical and bombastic, and at the end of the line of endless possibilities there are those who are just lost in time and space and don’t really know what life’s all about, other than the fact that they are living it. Hope gives us a hook upon which to extend our rope and try and get a catch, it’s that eternal feeling that there is something out there pertaining to our thoughts and despite the setbacks and upheavals and disappointments behind all that lies substance, something that’s there for us and that something is both solid and ours. How we live our lives has a direct bearing on our attitude, if we have love in our hearts we see life differently from those that can’t fathom out what love is all about, those people are often jaundiced and somewhat arrogant, and tend to live a lesser satisfied life that than others. Hope for them is a pure selfish thing and is not really shared if at all with anyone else, whereas those that have love within want to share as the camaraderie gives them a feeling of purpose and humanity and a warm feeling within that makes life feel feel good even if current circumstances are not that great. For those that have a belief, at least a Christian based one then hope is part of the doctrine in going forward, for those that don’t believe then it matters not, you are just biding your time until death arrives.


Whether we are entrepreneurial or quite satisfied with out lot as it is now, hope is always there for us to reach out to, it’s an intricate part of our mind complex where our emotions and logic fuse together to give a stance on life and where we are within it all. If we are emotionally lead we tend to fall into a myriad of negative scenarios as we often do foolish things based upon our emotions, if we are the opposite and logically based we can tend to be cold, insincere, selfish and have little regards for anything or anyone who doesn’t serve a purpose in our own grand plan. A combination of both is ideal, it never is an equal split, but provided we look at life in a timely manner we can assess what lies ahead in a more balanced way and that allows hope to be a positive attribute and not a feeling of just endlessly wishing and hoping and getting frustrated and disappointed when nothing happens. Our input in life is paramount for hope to manifest itself in a way that we can utilise and latch on to, those that dwell on problems miss out on seeing the solutions not giving hope a chance, hope is part of our ’seeing’ process so when we see opportunities we can jump for them, unlike the our mail hope will not arrive through our letterbox and wait for us to open the envelope and read the opportunities that are available, diligence is par for the course.

Our private “wish list” in life can grow or diminish as we progress, maturity seeing a side of life that youthfulness lacks, our “hope” for what is to come can also change and what we once hoped for is now just a redundant memory of past thought as new areas comes to the fore and our wants and needs change. Circumstances play a big part in our lives and at times unless they are good circmstances can throw us off course quite substantially. But with hope it carries a flame of possibilities and leaves us open to suggestions no matter how daunting they may be that guide potential for future prosperity or solace or degrees of happiness that at times we think has eluded us. Hope is contagious, it can elevate those around us that also need encouraging or a change in mind shift to see the better things in life and not dwell in a dowdy mode that percolates our thoughts and feelings and outlook. Hope highlights what sheer mind thought can’t do, we are not privy to the myriad of possibilities that are out there, our tiny minds think we know what’s available but in reality we know nothing, and allowing our thoughts to combine with hope brings to the fore this endless stream of options, ideas, perceptions, understandings, jobs, people, and everything that’s out of the box and beyond that also exists if we are receptive to it all We can be the most blinkered people and thwart our own chances based purely on what we deem we know best. On the other hand we can shine brilliantly, but if you think you can’t - you won’t.
