Life Is A Guarantee Everything Beyond This Life Is Conjecture

 Life Is A Guarantee Everything Beyond This Life Is Conjecture - Kenny Felderstein

My 90 year old, love of my life, Grandma (Bubby) was in the hospital while her years were coming to an end. My family and I were at her bedside saying our goodbyes. I leaned my 13 year old body over to her ear and said: "Bubby, you're going to a better place." With all the strength she could muster, she said: "What better place, I'm going into the ground. I learned then, 

Everything Beyond This Life Is Conjecture.

Some believe they will go to GOD after this life. Some believe it's good to blow themselves up because they will be praised by their GOD in the afterlife. Some believe they are going to Hell. Some believe they are going to someplace in the Universe. Some believe they are going to another dimension and some believe they are going into the ground.

Everything Beyond This Life Is Conjecture.

I say: " your life now is a guarantee. Stop speculating where you're going to go after this life. Find a way to make this life good for you. Make tough choices to get all you deserve in life. Take risks that might lead to a better life. Don't worry about the risk because you will recover if it doesn't work out and you won't be dead. 

It may be comforting to believe you're going somewhere nice after you're dead, but, don't count on it. That's not to say I believe I'm going into the ground. Because of my technical and logical brain, I do believe there might be something my five senses can't understand. I also believe I have a soul. However, I also know:

Sooo, I'm living the best life I can right now. I don't want my Bubby to be right, but, 

What If She IS?

His light comes out from the inside

 His light comes out from the inside

I heard this saying from somewhere or someone, but  because of my CRS (Can't Remember Shit), I don't know where. However, I like this saying because it's what I strive for personally. 

You all know the saying, "she lights up the room." That's not because of what she is wearing or that she has Christmas lights on her head. It's because of her inner light. 

Sooo, where does that light come from and how does one get it? Some call it personality. I believe it's deeper than that. I believe it comes from love of others,  love of life, true happiness, confidence in oneself and love of oneself. 

That person projects those traits on others. Others connect with that person like a moth attracts to a light. That person does not have to be the smartest or the largest or the most dominate one in the room. He only has to connect with others.

OK, how do I become the bright light in the room? It's not easy. First you have to see life in a positive way. If you have physical or mental pain, you have to deal with it by believing this too will pass in a positive way.

If you lost confidence in yourself, accept who you are, love who you are and take the steps necessary to regain your confidence. If you're unhappy, get to the root of your unhappiness and read some of my blogs. Remember "Happiness Is The Forgotten Ingredient In Life."

Most of all remember, your life today is much better than death. It's probably much better than some of the people you know. Sooo,

Put Love Of Yourself And Love Of Others As Your Goal.

One Must Find The Truth From With-in

 One Must Find The Truth From With-in  Hercule Poirot

I've always said that I don't lie. No matter what the situation, I always tell the truth. It's against my moral compass to lie. It's the core my father built into me. One little lie will generate another lie than another lie then another etc. I believe "the truth will set you free."

However, I also understand the truth is my truth. It is the truth that is with-in me. It's shaped by my strong belief in something, my upbringing, my experiences, my knowledge, my environment and my logical mind.

My truth is not shaped by what others say, the media, the internet, what I read or any other input from the outside. I have a brain. My wonderful brain is independent of outside input from others spouting "their" truth. 

My brain is not a follower of others. It calculates its truth based on what it believes is just, fair, reasonable, honest, peoples freedom, logical and the right thing to do. My truth is what I want the situation to be, not what it is now.

Sooo, what about you. Does your truth come from others? Does your truth come from people who just make shit up? Does your truth come from people who have a financial incentive to say things even they don't really believe? Does your truth come from people who have a political incentive?

The truth is not the truth. The truth is your truth and it comes from with-in. Don't let it be the truth that others want you to believe is the truth.
