as i wonder
as i was sitting in the doctors office for the second time in a week i begain to really wonder about my life and where will it lead me in the end.i am a 48 year old guy active,good looking but haven't been feeling well for a while.i first find out that i have tremers in my hands which i just really noticed a few months back,not really fearfull of old age as well as death i was more concerned about what i would not be able to do down the line not being able to be an active person to see people all of a sudden ride those little go carts as i call them around and a round and around.i hear people coughing in the office as wll as outside the building knowing that its breast cancer awarness month and god know what else.i not real sure at this moment where i am heading with this but for someone who has seen death and seen many friends and family die it makes me wonder why we as human everything we touch or build we destroy or over use because of selfhness to stress us of poisin us from food to water and yet no one does anything till it reaches them to the point of being scared of death.cities are being over populated which means more buildings to build less space to breath andm most of all more anger and stress.i guess im just rambling at the moment but what it comes down to that its so said that whats happening to us is from our own powers as human and we complain and complain but want others to do our work,remeber mother earth is not in the best of health due to us

Just read "as i wonder"
When I start to get into a funk over my personal life and the things that are going on in society and the world, I remind myself that life is good and focus on everything that is positive and beautiful. Rather than stress out over whether or not I will ever find the love of my life, I focus on the love that surrounds me, and how fortunate I am to have healthy and happy kids, a house, and a job that pays my bills. Rather than worry about why people in society do what they do, I try to be non-judgmental, and put my energy into being a good person and try to spread kindness, generosity, compassion and love to the people I encounter each day. I know that single-handedly, I cannot bring about world peace or reduce global warming or pollution, but I do what I can - pray for peace, create peace in my home, recycle, buy green items, etc. I spend a lot of time looking at the sky - star and moon gazing at night, and thanking G*d for rain, blue skies and beautiful sunsets, during the day. I remember reading that happiness, like love, is a choice. Every morning, we are blessed with another opportunity to be happy and touch the lives of others through kindness, love and positive energy. Don’t get the impression that I am Suzy Sunshine. I can be neurotic and find it too easy at times to worry about things that are beyond my control. When I realize I am spiraling downward, I stop, breathe, and switch emotional, mental and spiritual gears to get back on track.
Love and Peace Rule! : )
Lower Expectations = Happiness/
Reading perspectives here is very interesting.
I accidently fell into the pursuit of understanding trying to understand "who am I" and "what does this all mean" about 5 years ago. You learn what you can, read what you find and surf where the browser takes you. I bought a book titled "Who Am I?" by a guy from Chicago, Leonard Ingram, I think is his secular name. A good read!
The idea of ego comes into life so often. What you want, what you need, what you think you deserve. Me... me.. me and the importance of "me" and that the "me" of me, deserves something... better, bigger, more. You deserve an illness free life, so when you get sick you are sad and disappointed. You get old and become unattractive so you are disappointed. Your hard-fought climb up the corporate ladder has resulted in a huge bank loss and now you are mowing yards for a living and the grease on your shirt does not jive with what you think you deserve.
Is this correct? Hell I don't know! What I know do know is that people with lower expecations are happier. People who "expect nothing so they won't be disappointed" are wise.
There are no guarantees in life and the idea that we can even grasp any concept, think, read and experience is a miracle. Try to worry less and expect less. It's hard to do. But when you do all the good stuff is cause for a celebration! Practice and know you're ego is not who you really are.
