Believe in Life

Let’s start with the end. We will die. 

One can either believe; that’s it, it’s over, there is no bigger field | goal | purpose, just blackness. Or, people can have faith in life, believing: life matters. A picture too vast to comprehend, but life could have a meaning, could make an impact, and therefore could be of value somewhere, after we pass away. 

This is the paradigm of all spiritual traditions; that we are immortal souls temporarily incarnated in these physical forms, to learn and to grow and to develop.” [1] 

I like to imagine; the way I live my life, the way I use this precious gift, paints my Life Painting, which will define me on a greater field, just like an immense ID card. Almost all religions believe in the judgement in afterlife; whatever you do now, effects what happens to you in the afterlife: reward or punishment. 

“...the soul does survive death and that we will be held accountable for every thought, every action, every deed that we have lived through in our lives, so we'd better take this precious opportunity to be born in a human body seriously, and make the most of it.” [1] 

My life defines me, better live it good, and have to make the best out of it. I go all in, to prove myself on a greater field, I don’t even know, exists. 

My life defines me, but I define my life. This is my field. I’m sitting in the driving seat: the only one with the brush; having the decision to pick the colors I’d prefer. “None, but ourselves can free our minds.” [2] 

For me, this is what it means to believe in Life. An urge to be better, of more use

But how? How to paint that painting, as it should be painted? “What is the purpose?” [3] How to find my purpose, the meaning of my Life? 

I believe, as a human, I have been given everything I need, to paint something worthy. I have been given the colors. They are here, I just need to explore them. The engaging diversity of Humanity and Nature: ancient knowledge, unique lessons of religions, views of different people, wisdom of our ancestors, teachings of the Nature, there is so much to learn. There are countless colors to choose from, and the more I see, the better I could decide, which way to go on. “If you knew what you were for - and how you became so informed? Bodies of info performing such miracles, I am a miracle made up of particles”. [3] 

I feel blessed that I get to see so many colors in life. I am thankful. For the decisions people made, for all the lucky accidents throughout life, whatever they may have been, that led me here, made me who I am today; for I have found my way. Had the luck and willingness; I’ve got to live in the tropics, by the Sea, bordered with a rainforest on a mountain, it was easy to see Heaven on Earth. 

Praise the living! Why is it so hard to finally say it? We are gifted with Life and Earth, not to wait to get to Heaven, but to create our own, here! We know deep inside, how it really should be, we all have a picture of Heaven in our minds. “Because the Bible tell you, you have to live in a Heaven. You don’t die and go to Heaven, you got to live in a Heaven.” [4] 

“It is important to have a future which is inspiring and appealing.” [5] It is important to think of the future of Humanity, of this planet, for we are in this together. Help each other, create ways to help each other, don’t hurt or even kill the living, and don’t pollute the Nature. Would you throw your trash on the floor in your parent’s room? Why would you throw it in Your Heaven? That’s Our Home! It all starts with the small things, to live the natural way. How we always supposed to, in symbiosis with Nature and Humanity, not just stealing whatever we fancy in the moment. Don’t be ignorant, we are in this together. “Man is the most insane species. He worships an invisible God and destroys a visible Nature. Unaware that this Nature he's destroying is this God he's worshipping.” [6] 

Change is good. Wherever you are in this world, there will be bad and good around you. Learn from the bad, and use the good to your advantage, by mastering it as a habit. Change with a purpose - find your way; open doors, open up to the world, discover genuine colors, listen to different views, learn new mindsets. And don’t you ever forget: 

Progress is the reason to change.
