---I’m not much on telling people what to do, or giving advice that hasn’t been asked for---

-But because of the many who are caught up in a lack of appreciation for life or circumstances beyond their control I thought this would be a good starting point as a first article. It also becomes an appropriate expression for the life I've been given by using it to express my appreciation of living now. - Since if it wasn't for life I wouldn't be writing this. - -- Whatever the load is, Attitudes of appreciation lighten it.

Please consider the wisdom of the article and do whatever is necessary to make the moves to enrich your life by doing things to make you feel better about living --there is a way and if there isn't, soon there will be.

Whatever you can say about life and all its intricacies or complexities there is one central ingredient most everyone can agree on. ------ And that’s the one that states you are the only one that can live your life.

You are the central force in experiencing everything you can conceive of; in fact you are the conceiver of whatever your life is. You interpret all it means to you, you decide if its good or bad and you choose the things that make it what it is, you choose to make it better or worse. —

Life is given to each of us as something that is exclusively ours- and whatever life’s experiences are good, bad or indifferent we are the recipients –its like the song you gotta walk the lonesome valley-no one else can walk it for you – you have to walk it by yourself. Of course you may be one of the lucky ones and be on top of a mountain

The more you have accumulated a lack of appreciation for being alive now –the more you have been exposed to the pains & suffering and all the miseries of living in and being part of and unproductive unfulfilling life; the more you have gotten caught up into stinking thinking and bad habit patterns. --

The trauma caused by living a life full of hate anger and disapproval; of sadness and sorrow from loosing loved ones to war-- of being the planners and perpetuators of violent acts against your fellow man or being the victims or witnesses of it.

The more you are into bad habits that decreases your awareness and appreciation caused by negative lifestyles, the more you cheat your life out of what I consider the greatest time in the history of man to be alive.

Perhaps your resistance to the conflicts of our time, and the seeming difference get you down, perhaps the clash of the old and the new are too much for you to handle—perhaps the stress those before us created and we maintain through ignorance is too much for you

Become aware of the time you have entered reality and instead of letting these massive changes get to you because of your inability to cope with them, find a way to cooperate and approve of them and be an instrument of the change itself. ****This should lift your spirits by empowering you with hope, and inspiration.

There are many that have committed horrible acts of cruelty and indecency and just as many that have been the victims of or witnesses to the acts.

What can be done to heal those traumatized by these unspeakable things; things buried so deep that the causer's deny committing them and the witnesses block them out.

This is especially for those whose flame has faded and their dreams shattered, to give them the courage and determination in facing the future.

To enhance and expand our senses and become more deeply aware of the religious and metaphysical, to become more spiritual in our soul by increasing our desire to experience life especially now. Allowing us all to move forward now into creating a marvelous reality where theirs no thought of doing anything that might deaden or decrease the senses to get in touch with reality. – While it may be true that drugs can have beneficial effects and expand or enhance an awareness of life -'in a certain respect'- and certain negative experiences can become positive, - we observe that the end result of the continual use and abuse by participating in negative experiences is a devaluing of life. So we see that it is not drugs per-say, the experiences, or anything else we do or use, but the way we use them –the results we get from our use of and participation in anything. Keeping an appreciation of life or learning how to regain and maintain life is the first step to controlling the conditions of your life. - The continual lack of appreciation leads to life's demise, and affects everyone that surrounds you.

To become alert to the time frame you are alive in and thereby increase the value of experiencing your life especially now. What’s the point in devaluing your life, that’s the only thing you really have - love yourself- if you do, you may find that the unlovable person you may be now will become loveable to others. And the experience of life will become enriched and rewarded. -Just stop the mess in life from messing you up. -

* Also its purpose is to increase the value of the articles by giving immediate up front results to its readers.

By giving them something to reflect on and look forward to and enrich their lives by developing hope and expectation for their lives to become better; far beyond what they believed possible.

That the blessing of the future may be much better than many have a vision of.

Let us move forward with a new voice, let the spirit of man soar and engulf whatever the darkness is.

Let us stand in the light as shinning examples of the best not only of ourselves but also of what we are as a group in forming and molding societies. To move beyond the beliefs and attitudes that trap us as we are now.

Can you imagine being alive at a time when the mysteries of life were being revealed?

The most exciting thing about our time and being human is not only are we the species that questions what we are but the species that finally will recognize itself in ways we could not have imagined before now.

Our cognizance or awareness of things will move beyond the level of questioning what we are and what existence is. --We will move beyond the need to find ourselves because we will have found ourselves.

If you feel helpless or incapable of changing your life, like its out of control and unstoppable (take heart) there's a reality already in the process of being created that will give relief and allow you to regain control.
