It's Not The End

        


I was reading my Townhome newsletter today and it started with the following saying:  

Everything will be all right in the end

                                        So if it’s not all right,

                                                            it’s not the end.

I love that saying.  I don't know who wrote it, but it says a lot.  What it means to me is, no matter how bad things are today, it's not the end and therefore, will get better in the future.  A negative person might read that same saying and think it says, everything is sh.. today and because it's not the end it will only get worse.  What do you think it says?


If you believe it's the former, you are reading my blogs and you get it.  You're probably happy most of the time.  You probably give positive energy out to the universe.  You probably are getting some mentoring or seeking it.  You probably hang out with happy people.  You probably make your friends happy.  


You probably get what you need and try to get what you want, but don't demand it.  You probably accept what's happening to you right now, but believe you can change for the better  it if it's not going in the right direction.  You probably believe life is great and want as much life as you can get.  You probably believe you deserve a happy life because you've paid your dues.  You probably love yourself just a little bit more than anyone and anything else in this world.


If you assume this saying means everything is sh.. today and because it's not the end it will only get worse, you probably are an unhappy person.  You probably hang out with unhappy people.  You probably don't believe life is a journey where some things that happen are good and some things that happen are bad, but either way you plan to enjoy the journey. You probably believe that what comes after this life has got to be better than this one.


What if a higher being told you this is as good as it gets?  What if a higher being told you after this you go to ashes or in the ground?  What if a higher being told you the end is near?  Would you just be miserable the remaining years of your life?


I want to believe there is something better after this.  However I have set my mind to believe this is as good as it gets and if something better happen after I'm gone that's a bonus.  I want to believe that my soul will still be alive after I'm dead and resurface in another life, but just in case, I believe I'm going to ashes.  I want to believe I will live forever, but I know I'm going to die in 2038.


Wanting life after death to be special is good, but that's no way to live life today.  Because I believe the end is near and there might be nothing after it ends, I focus on my happiness now.  I do the things I can do today to make me happy.  I attack life and try to get everything I can out of it.  I'm willing to risk everything to make me happy today.  


I say what I want to say and don't worry what others think.  I do what I want to do knowing that the people who care for me like what I'm doing, I believe money is freedom of choice not for showing off what I can buy (I currently have a $22000 Honda CRV and I love it), I buy less stuff (that I probably don't need), I eat, drink and be merry at low cost happy hour bars with my friends, I live in the same house for thirty years, I only hang out with the people I like, I make sure my needs are gotten, I root for happiness for the ones I care about, I do my part to make them happy and I believe I deserve all the good things that are happening to me. 


The bottom line is, I just don't want to be unhappy the rest of my life while counting on life will be better after I die. If today is not all right, It's OK because:

It's Not The End!!!!
