HOW TO LIVE THE GOOD LIFE
Every day and in every way become better, better and better. Learn to love life and everything that God created so that you see everything becoming fulfilled. It is only by being a child of God that you will become fulfilled.
Life is about knowing what to do and then doing it. The Bible is the best written source for you to know every day the Priest starts the 6 AM prayers by saying "You can not love God and Mthe truth and be set free of human errors. You will not find happiness if you seek fame or fortune, or gold or glory.
In Saint Andrew's Seminary ammon. Either you will love one and despise the other, or you will take one to your heart and neglect the other!"
The heart of prayer is to be yourself when you talk to God. You do not have to say anything when you pray. Just center yourself and give praise to God for being alive. You do not have to do anything when you pray. You are human beings not human doers.
If you think you really know something, you are wrong because knowledge is incomplete. The greatest minds once thought that their knowledge was complete, but they thought that the world was flat, and that the earth was the center of the world.
Even Einstein thought that he could figure out the mind of God; but then he said that his greatest discovery had been his greatest blunder, however even this is being revived with the understanding of dark matter and dark energy.
Many say that Socrates was the wisest man because he knew that he did not know anything. The Greeks taught that the most important thing to know is to know yourself, but not many of them knew of the Jewish religion early in their civilization.
Today most of the world has heard of school and yet still most do not have an education. The goal of education is to teach an individual how to learn how to learn. Yet we all know that we need to know the right things to know to be truly successful human beings.
There have been many groups that thought they knew what was best for us to know. No matter what they where called, all of them fail if the student does not learn about the true way of life. Teaching, books, media, and culture all have a place in our learning. However, no one can tell another that this is what you need to know to be perfect, fulfilled, self realized, or successful.
The Buddhist answer to the question, "What should you do, if you meet a perfect teacher? You should kill him." is too harsh for some to imagine, yet our Lord sent us the Holy Spirit to guide us to eternal life.
The key is to always seek goodness; and all those good things that our Lord has done will become ours besides all the good things that the world has to offer, for that is what God has promised to us all, who listen to his word and seek the Holy Spirit to guide us to eternal life!
