Belief System by R. E. Smith

Faith

The entire globe is made up of complex belief systems that have developed as a result of human interactions with nature and the need for us to try and understand our existence. The idea of an all-powerful supernatural being or life force that guides us allows us to come to terms with the fact that despite our dark nature we have hope for a better life and a future without pain or trauma. It reassures us that good will ultimately triumph over evil.


How is this achieved?

Our ultimate reward is dependent on our actions throughout life and how we follow the precepts and principles that guide our being. It is widely accepted that our actions or deeds will ultimately be rewarded, this is referred to as karma or judgment. This means that each of us holds the power to determine how we live, how we influence those around us, and how we will live out immortality when the mortal body perishes. One thing for sure is that whatever we put in will ultimately be our reward. Hence, don't allow the pressures of society to deter you from doing a little good, having faith and belief that there is a GOD that gives us a choice.

I leave you to ponder these questions:
1. What is your choice?
2. Are you firm in your belief?
3. Will your actions and deed be rewarded in good karma?

The choice is yours today make the right step and give your life to GOD and he will direct your path.

Life untapped a mirror to Success by R. E. Smith

Humans are like computer-based applications programmed for a specific reason or purpose and like these applications, humans are programmed with the innate drive to seek out and find the meaning of life. We often engage in conversation about life and what it really is and it comes to this single fact that life is a gift. Humans beings are granted this special gift, the gift of life and many do not appreciate it, life should be cherished and preserved. Ever so often we read and hear biologists and medical practitioners describe life as the characteristics that set us apart from inanimate objectives. These attributes include the ability to grow, think, reproduce, and ultimately die; the Circle of Life. The biological composition of plants and animals are unique though they are separate state of beings. One has the ability to think while the other relies on external stimuli. Humans have long been considered to be the most advanced organism on the planet due to our varying cognitive ab

The Wisdom of Life by R. E. Smith

 Each life is Sacred Our lives are made up of countless experiences and like all living things, we pass through various stages of growth and development. Many scholars and medical practitioners argue over the exact moment when life begins. Though this is important it may not be the easiest thing to argue because it is subjected to countless opinions and views. Nonetheless, let us examine a few perspectives put forward by individuals and religions about life and when it truly begins. What is Life?  Life is often referred to as the essence of our being that innermost part that makes up our state of consciousness. It takes into account our spiritual, physical, and emotional development. These are the qualities that separate us from other species and this is what it means to be human. Our ability to think, reason, and solve complex problems sets us apart from all other life forms. This ability is referred to as knowledge, understanding, and emotional intelligence. When does Li

Sacrifice for Success by R.E. Smith

Recently I was asked, "Can a man be successful without making sacrifices?" and my immediate reply was, Can a man know true love without heartbreak? The answer to both questions can only truly be answered by each individual striving to attain success or love. We are cultured from an early age to identify a career path and work towards it. This advice is a very good one but not the perfect advice to give. In identifying the career path we want to pursue and setting our minds to accomplish the task will result in us becoming productive members of society. The reality is everyone can succeed in whatever career path they chose whether it be medicine, law, education, politics, logistics, engineering or aviation. The question then stands are they truly successful or are they just being productive citizens? This question pushes us to think about what true success is because accomplishing a task or goal is not true success. It is merely completing a task while on the road to suc
