I search Conclusion ( Quest for my life’s Purpose)

•April 23, 2008 • Leave a Comment

                                  Here I am now still confused asking myself what is my purpose in life?

        Many may say that The Meaning or Purpose of life is not to only obtain knowledge but to as well as learn from mistakes that you have made to better one’s life experience.                                       

         Though, I say believe that the true Meaning and Purpose is to pursue life with a passion and everything will fall in place naturally. This way you don’t have to speculate nor justify anything that has happened or may happen in the past or near future. Just understand that everyone can make a difference in the world.

              Generalizing  on the aspects to the meaning of life . I would say  that there are four element s in which ever man,woman and child should follow in their life.

               One is to live life to its fullest. The second is to learn everything possible there is to learn about you and what you want out of life. The third thing is to love so that you are able to take full advantage of the meaning of life. Last but not least laugh which is an action to do when you are happy. Laughter can take away the bad and bring forth the good in any man and it is said to be good for the soul.

               The meaning of life is not found in nouns that describe places or things nor is it found in adjectives that describes experiences. But it is found in verbs that tend to show some type of action.       

          As we are people who determine our own destinies we have free will.  I am saying  all of this to say that “no matter what your belief system may be, it is what you do with your life that determines its ultimate meaning”.

 

           How do I know that I have not already served my purpose and that my meaning of life was to go through the things that I went trough to reach where I am today  Clearly, wisdom is not our final purpose in life but is just  one of the  many characteristics just as respect, love, honesty, loyalty and acceptance of you. Love you for you; love your parents, your strengths, your weaknesses and your nationality because they all have a purpose. When you understand who you are then the ability of allowing your emotions and feelings to flow naturally comes without any hostility or blame.

      Hope and pray for richness in your life without trying to draw a conclusion on what if’ I had not have gotten shot or why is it that I have turned my life around but I still feel like there is something that is missing. Go through life with an opened mind along with a childlike simplicity and enjoy.     

    Moreover, allow yourself to trust your inner voice that guides you to content and happiness. In conclusion as you live in the now you are living in the present for the future. Therefore, every decision that you have made this far is for the future. This in return could lead you to your meaning or the purpose of your life.  Which is a lesson learned on my behalf about the fast life and all it’s obstacles’. It has been that we live the life that has been dealt to us. But on the reverse side I say that we live the life dealt to us with choices that have to be made throughout life and some of those choices we make are the wrong ones but in order to put things in perspective you learn from those mistakes that you made and move on. Life does not at any time stand still for you nor does it stand still for me.  We are the ones that make the difference and from that one change the world is viewed different through many eyes.

     

Critique 3: FAS among the African American Women Culture

•April 2, 2008 • Leave a Comment

                            Fetal Alcohol Syndrome among the African American women is on the rise. Many are aware of the fact that FAS is considered to be the largest preventable cause of birth defects as well as mental retardation among the black culture. Dully noted that 15% of women drink during their pregnancy and 9.5% drink after their pregnancies.  In the past couple of years these percentages have increased drastically to a whooping 22.5 percent.  Based on a strict opinion of mine women who continue to drink during pregnancy suffer with severe variety of issues such as depression, self worth, low self esteem, acceptance issues, peer pressure and the fact that the father has become an absent parent in the roll.

         On the other hand the fact of misconception information among blacks is directly

 for to those that are considered to be heavy drinkers. Just in the same women who think

ignorantly try to justify their assumption amounts by saying “some alcoholic beverages are

safer than others”. Based on this I think that women need to give thought to decisions thatthey are choosing to make because the wrong decision as we see is the foolish decision.

           Unquestionably, African American women need to stop deceiving themselves with

false interpretations of alcohol assumption but in return practice abstinence from alcoholic

 beverages. Undoubtedly, this is the only way to control FAS  among the African American

women culture in addition drug use as well need to be addressed among the African

American women because this soon will be the next addiction that will not be tolerated for that matter.

                                The Meaning of Life with a Purpose                 

        Many may say that The Meaning or Purpose of life is to obtain knowledge as well as

learn from mistakes that you have made to better one’s life experience.  However, I say

 believe that the true Meaning and Purpose is to pursue life with a passion and everything

will fall in place naturally. That way you would not have to second guess anything that has

happened or may happen in the past or near future. Just understand that everyone can

make a difference in the world. Clearly, wisdom is not our final purpose in life but is one

of many characteristics just as respect, love, honesty, loyalty and acceptance of you. Love

you for you; love your parents, your strengths, your weaknesses and your nationality

because they all have a purpose. When you understand who you are than the ability of

allowing your emotions and feelings to flow naturally comes without any hostility or

blame.  Dream of richness and beauty in your life without trying to draw a conclusion on

why or why not this has happened. Go through life with an opened mind along with a

childlike simplicity and enjoy.  Furthermore, allow yourself to trust your inner voice that

guides you to joy and happiness. In conclusion as you live in the now you are living in the

present for the future. Therefore, every decision that you have made thus far is for the future.

What is death? Death is the end of a living orgnism
Why do we die? We die due to the evaluation of age in evolution which aims to explain why all living things deteriorate and die of old age.

Part 2 How is death categorized in todays time?
Death is and can be known as a chronological attempt to determine the exact minute or moment of death. Death was once seen as the cessation of the heartbeat along with breathing problems , but that is not trus that is now known as a heart-attack. Although even when the heart stops it can be restarted. In todays term that would be considered as “Clinical Death”.
This is when the electricity activity of the brain discontinues with no consciences. However suicide is the act of intentionally taking your own life. It has been expressed by many that suicide was only used by narrow-minded people with various culture views such as religion,honor,and what was the meaning of life. Suicide is also look out upon a “cry for help” and also attention.Althought the statistics show that a million die by suicide annually. Capital Punishment is also viewed as a form of death. However it is the execution of a convicted criminal by the state as punishment for crimes known as capital offenses. Even more so among countries the use of the “death penalty” is common ,but not universal.
Death being considered a poetic nature or of a great mystery, death presents both the living and the deceased,. Although this has been glorified in many cultures through many different means. What i am saying is that war,crimes,revenge,suicide, and many others related to violence involving death is all to well used by media to be glorified in todays modern times. Meaning the perception of death is subjective and even differs from aone person to the next or better said to be one gruop of people tp another.

I Believe that Life . . .

Has a meaningful insight for all of GOD children’s. We as humans set the path for our lives, we determine if we go forward or standstill. I believe that we were put here for a reason unknown to many but in life, you find out what your calling is better yet your plan in life from god.

In addition, the only answer is that you are to learn from your mistakes henceforth it may have been a lesson to be taught to you by GOD.

Why do they not believe that Life. . .

This statement was taken from a text written by “Galileo Galilee”.

 ” I do not feel obliged to believe that the sane God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use”. . .

This famous quote was written by a man whom did not believe in a higher being that allowed us to endure hurt, because of what seemed to him senseless due to the fact that God gave us a devouring intellect of right and wrong. He thought that life was meaningless sought after virtue to that ended as soon as it was to start. Thus, this belief is what most people think when nothing seems to go the way that they want it to go. . .

However, in the reality whose choice is it over all seeing all things that are done by man in mind as well as in your life. God sets the path and it is your choice to follow through with your destiny.

Statement that was written by a man named Ralph. . .

I heard this arguement before, But i am sorry ! I don’t believe it. For one, just because God knows what is going to happen does not mean that we don’t have a choice in the matter.

This statement has no belief in god or the predestined thought of life. His belief is that if we have no choice on how to live our lives than God has lied to  us as people having the free will. He also states that God only picks certain people to be saved and reserved for him and unto his word not all people are prompt to  be  saved…“GOD”has his picks . The belief that if god knew what choices we were going to make that means that he had made the choice for us.

Walk in Victory in 2008

There are people who can walk away from you.
And hear me when I tell you this!
When people can walk away from you: let them walk.

I don’t want you to try to talk another person into staying with you,
loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you,
staying attached to you.
I mean hang up the phone.

When people can walk away from you let them walk.
Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.
People leave you because they are not joined to you.
And if they are not joined to you,
you can’t make them stay.
Let them go.

And it doesn’t mean that they are a bad person,
it just means that their part in the story is over.
And you’ve got to know when people’s
part in your story is over so that you
don’t keep trying to raise the dead.

You’ve got to know when it’s dead.
You’ve got to know when it’s over.
Let me tell you something.
I’ve got the gift of good-bye.
It’s the tenth spiritual gift,
I believe in good-bye.

It’s not that I’m hateful, it’s that I’m faithful,
and I know whatever God means for me to have
He’ll give it to me.
And if it takes too much sweat I don’t need it.
Stop begging people to stay.
Let them go!!

If you are holding on to something
that doesn’t belong to you and was never intended for your life,
then you need to ..LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to past hurts and pains ..
LET IT GO!!!

If someone can’t treat you right, love you back, and see your worth…
LET IT GO!!!

If someone has angered you …
LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and revenge ..
LET IT GO!!!

If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction ..
LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or
talents ..
LET IT GO!!!

If you have a bad attitude…
LET IT GO!!!

If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better…
LET IT GO!!!

If you’re stuck in the past and God is trying to take you to a new
level in Him…
LET IT GO!!!

If you are struggling with the healing of a broken relationship….
LET IT GO!!!

If you keep trying to help someone who won’t even try to help
themselves..
LET IT GO!!!

If you’re feeling depressed and stressed ….
LET IT GO!!!

If there is a particular situation that you are so used to handling
yourself and God is saying ‘take your hands off of it,’ then you need to…
LET IT GO!!!

Let the past be the past.
Forget the former things.
GOD is doing a new thing for 2008 !!!
LET IT GO!!!

Get Right or Get Left .. think about it, and then
LET IT GO!!!

‘The Battle is the Lord’s!’

During the next 60 seconds, Stop whatever you are doing, and take this
opportunity. (Literally it is only One minute!) All you have to do is the
following: You simply say ‘The Lords Prayer’ for the person that sent you this message:
The Lords Prayer

Our Father,
who art in Heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name,
Thy Kingdom Come,
Thy Will be done,
on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day,
our daily bread
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the Kingdom,
and the Power,
and the Glory,
forever.

Amen.

Next, stop and think and appreciate God’s power in your life, for doing what you know is pleasing to Him.

If you are not ashamed to do this, follow the instructions!

Jesus said, If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before My
Father’

If you are not ashamed, send this message…only if you believe.

‘Yes, I love my God. He is my fountain of Life and My Savior. He Keeps me going day and night. Without Him, I am no one. But with Him, I can
do everything, Christ is my strength.’

God loves you and watches over you every day.
