My comments on the choices of life.
Published on June 10, 2006 By jesseledesma In Personal Relationships
Today, I plan to share the messages of choices. I have been talking to people who give me the impression that they must have life the way they want it.

One of the things I have recently learned is that part of our hardship comes from not wanting to accept our real life.

I would say dreams are nice. Accomplishing our dreams is even nicer. However, dreams with out any real work can be a source of stress.

Look, I have been trying to write an essay on why I write in this blog. There was a time that I wrote to get an audience for my business page.

Now, I have to come to realize that I am going to die and what I wanted out of life is not going to happen.

In fact, I am even questioning if I ever wanted what I pursued so hard.

I do know one thing whatever time I have left I would like to tell people life could be a blast.

For some reason the troubles of people concern me. In this age of information at out fingertips, I cannot see spending time suffering mentally for any reason.

Sometimes I even criticize myself for my writings. I tell myself why am I writing on such simple subjects that every one should know.

The answer is that currently many people grew up with out hugs, kisses; I love yous, and words of inspiration.

What many of us take granted some people have trouble with. Well I am here to tell you that having a good life free of stress and anxiety is possible.

You just have to figure out whom you are, where you want to go, and start working at getting there.

Yes, there will lonely days and lonelier nights. In addition, sex is not the answer.

There are to many people praising all the joy they get from all sex they claim to be getting.

I have yet to meet the person who is having their cake, eating it to, and who is truly happy.

Most people using sex as an answer seem to be the most depressed and dead to the world people I have ever met.

However, everyone chooses his or her reality. All I know that it is a waste of time to look for joy where there is none.

I wish people could see what I see, maybe then they would start making changes.

Either way, you are a good person and have every right to a good life.

That will take hard work and it will be worth it.

You have to declare your independence day. Say I have had enough of being hungry and thirsty and it is time I got mine.

You are not a bad person. Therefore, you will pursue good things.

I have come know the value of having a life partner. People may not like it but we where built for human contact and procreation.

Ask people starting out in life about their goals and you wont here much talk about marriage and kids any more.

I have had some of my best days in the company of children. In my opinion, children rock. You ever want to laugh for a good while, hang out with kids. There is a certain honesty and genuineness in kids.

It is sad how many people miss the joy their children can bring them

It is even sadder how many people miss out on life period. People are right life is what you make it.

I would say instead of money and careers invest in family, friends, children, and marriage.

Very interesting.

I have often heard the priorities (obviously the religious sort) as being
1. God or Faith
2. Spouse
3. Family
4. Friends
5. Work
etc

Yes I think Adventure Dude has it right. I believe those things too but it's entirely another thing to live by it.

As for sex, it's a natural drive that when exercised in the right way, brings children...so joy in sex leads to joy in having (and spending tons of time with) children!

It all sounds very idealistic, but life really can be that sweet and uncomplicated if we let it be (in a perfect world)

Children, Spouse, Family, and friends.  Marriage is just a government idea.

I came to that realization about 10 years ago. All of the material crap I had been chasing and had aquired didn't mean squat.

I do know one thing whatever time I have left I would like to tell people life could be a blast.

Yep, that's the real point to life. Have fun, enjoy the simple stuff, and try to stay perpetually amused.
