That's Why I'm Here

I've always felt that one of the reasons we are all here is to help each other to grow. I know that sounds very simplistic and corny.

OK, I'll give you that.

So is being patriotic, believing in God, telling people you believe in Jesus Christ, having an "old fashion" work ethic, believing that we live in the greatest country in the world and believing that all people are basically good. This blog is more an exercise of trying to put into the cyberworld my thoughts of what makes us all good people, what can help us to be better people and thoughts in general of this state we call life on earth.


It is easy to give in to all the people saying negative things, all the horrible things people do to each other for the sake of money, all the innocent children hurt because they happened to be born to a parent or parents who don't know how to deal with a child and the wars people fight because one side doesn't believe the same thing as the other side. It seems we are bombarded constantly with negativity.

Don't Believe it!

There are so many good people everywhere. Good is all around you. You notice the guy who cut you off on the freeway. Did you notice the 10 others that slowed down to let you change lanes, or didn't honk at you when you inadvertently strayed into their lane?

You want to see courage, go visit the pediatric cancer ward at the hospital. You'll leave saddened for the kids, but uplifted by their spirits. What courage!

Visit the Randy Pausch video. He's "The Last Lecture" guy. Wow! Following is a link to it.

I'm into cycling and Lance Armstrong is a hero for me.

The man overcame serious cancer to become arguably the greatest cyclist in history. At least the greatest of our generation.

Not into positive thinking genre, goggle Brian Regan, the comedian. He in a riot. He is also clean, makes fun of life in a way that you feel great after watching one of his videos.

Life is great!

Look for the great in life. You'll find it. It is all around you. As you look for it and realize how great life is, you will help others to see how great life is. What a fantastic circle to start! Do It Right Now!

P.S. "That's Why I'M Here" is a great James Taylor song from his greatest hits, vol 2. Check it out.
