I think I am a believer in self mind control. By this I mean that, at least to a degree, we can control how we feel. Be it physical or mental. For example, if it is cold outside and I am not wearing much I don't really feel cold because I can think about something else or ignore it. Same thing with manual labor or running, weight lifting, etc.
Controlling the mental part is where it becomes interesting. I've convinced myself that we have.. say.. 80 years or whatever in this existence. I am not CERTAIN there is an afterlife and I am not convinced that anyone else is either. Simply put, it is a nice thought. Therefore my goal is to enjoy every bit of life I have to live. Little things use to get on my nerves, I use to regret things I did in the past, I use to worry a lot. All this has changed. I've lived this new way for about a year now, and I really believe it has changed me. I use to get depressed, use to have a lot of stress, but not much at all anymore... life is just too short.
I'm not trying to convince anyone to live as I do, just saying this to present a different look on things. I guess it boils down to what is important. To me, enjoying this life and helping others to enjoy their lives are easily the most important things.
Anyway, enjoy your life. It really is a gift, every second of it, I look at some people that don't realize just what they have been given.
Maybe someone will read this and think about it. I've enjoyed saying what was on my mind. Onward we go.
