To expand on my thoughts from my previous blog, let's look at the world around us. There are people in this world going through some tough times like hunger, poverty, and homelessness. This universe has to be balanced, so it's not good when there are others around the world going through such difficult times. Then the diseases like cancer and other types of incurable diseases are really difficult to deal with. There are no easy answers.
On the other hand, there are some really good things going on around us. People with positive ideas, positive thoughts. Helpful people who want to make this world a better place. Lot's of great charities and non-profit organizations doing some really good things for this world. These charities are bringing people together to improve the world. We want to live a better life in a better world where the next generation have a great place to live. We don't want to destroy the world or create problems for the future. We want a sustainable society.
We should focus on future generations and ensure children get the support they need to be successful. We need to ensure kids around the world are well-educated and have the resources they need to grow in a successful manner. The focus should be on children and education. Kids need the right principles in life to set the stage and grow-up in a positive environment.
Living a Happy Life
There are poor and rich but the real question is about happiness. What does it take to live a happy life? Many people who live within their means tend to be happy. People who desire every materialistic possession in this world may live a life of discontent.
The Effect of Corporate Interests
Looking around recently, I look at what the media and corporate marketing is doing to society. The media has tons of bad news. We need a lot more positive vibes to live a happy and fulfilling life. Maybe the human spirit enjoys listening to all this bad news but that is not good for our society. We need to focus on all the good stuff that is going on and then promote it. Bring out the best in people.
Look at Corporate Marketing targeting the sales of products that end up creating problems for people. The concerns used to be about cigarettes but now look at fast food and junk food. Maybe the marketing has been extremely successful but then it promotes the sales of food that can make you unhealthy. Wouldn't it be great if all we were exposed to was good, healthy, home made fresh food. Maybe our bodies would be alot healthier. We get exposed to chemicals, preservatives, and unnatural ingredients. These end up causing big problems for us down the road. Some people talk about the causes of cancer, is it the exposure to chemicals?
Maintain Balance
We need a balance between the mind/body/ spirit. Here's a quote from the YMCA: 'At the Y, we help build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all with core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility at the heart of everything we do.' That is the right focus as we really need balance in our lives. We need to eat right, exercise and think clearly to live a happy and fulfilling life.
If folks can live a balanced life, you can increase your potential. We spend a lot of time on useless, wasted activities. Why not put the time in areas that lead to a better life. None of us our perfect so we can continue to strive for a better life. If we can follow some of the great leaders in this world who have noble thoughts, maybe we can see results where we can live a better and more productive life.
If we can live a better and happier life, we should then spread that happiness to others so we can see some change for the better.
What do you think? Why don't you share your thoughts and ideas?
Thanks for reading,
