If you try

"You can't always get what you want,
  but if you try sometimes, you just might
  find you get what you need."
                         - Mick Jagger & Keith Richards

Self and God

Believing in a God, or the God if you want, because you don't believe in yourself won't solve your problems, and will only transfer the answers from yourself to some false imaginary prophet who will only keep you from dealing with the real issue and problem, yourself.

Believe in yourself and you will be stronger than any ideas a God can provide.

Do Not Mistake

Do not mistake discussion for answers,

answers for solutions,

solutions for decisions,

and decisions for action.

Random Chance

Our individual life, our own existence, is random chance. The series of random events which gave birth to us as an individual, a person to live, hopefully, as best we can. The results of our efforts is the result of ourself, the times we live in and the experience we face and then act.

Our life could have been at any time and place in history, and it is only random chance that it occurred when it did, and the real question each of us must answer is what we do with our life, those moments we have. What do we think and feel. What do we decide. And what do we actually do.

And that isn't random chance. We are here by random chance but we don't act randomly or by chance, and we will depart this life by random chance. It's what in between life and death that makes the difference.

Everything else is random chance.

Life and Death

Death is the given, life is the option, and living is the choice.
