What is Useful? 4-30-10

This is an important question to ask oneself because of the extreme times we live in. I would say that the most useful thing that anyone can do for life on earth right now is to find ways to stay centered and calm. Because the stress on the Earth itself and all life upon it right now is extreme. So anytime you meditate, pray or take a walk or run in the forest, desert or ocean to relieve stress and to center yourselves for whatever might come is a very good thing.

Since many people are just keeling over in one way or another with all the stress it is important that you don't fall and just lose it as well. Take care of yourself, exercise, meditate, eat healthy (organic if possible) and stay away from drugs and alcohol whenever possible so that you become a positive in a world that seems increasingly negative.

I believe we are in a worldwide cycle that we haven't seen the worst of yet(possibly won't be over for 2 to 10 years). So I believe that my father's and grandfather's bywords are the best to live by, "Prepare for the worst and hope for the best". In this way you invoke the pioneer spirit that kept our ancestors alive through anything both in the U.S. and around the world down through history. Now you might say "This isn't optimistic enough for me." Okay. I get this my wife is an optimist too. However, unless you have at least one person in the group (usually a male but not always) saying "Prepare for the worst but hope for the best" often everything comes to a severe end for the group or family group because they weren't sufficiently prepared for Anything.

So to repeat "What is Useful?"  Stay centered and healthy mentally and physically so you will be ready for Anything just like our ancestors who actually survived everything that has come before.
