Flowcharting is useful not only in computer programming but in organizing all aspects of one's life in a useful way

Why?

Because we are human beings and most of us cannot think of 10 to 25 things at once and then usefully talk about all those things in a coherent manner effectively.

So, trying to describe multiple logical empirical elements in one's life in a useful way often can be overwhelming for anyone to actually deal with.

So, learning to logically flowchart some of the aspects of one's life often is useful in navigating and staying alive ongoing.

For example, as a college student this might have been a flow chart I would have written regarding staying alive rather than taking my own life.

Flowchart:

My life is too painful to continue:

But, if I take my life it might destroy the lives of those around me especially my parents and friends.

So, am I such a selfish person that I will not only destroy my own life but also the lives of those I love around me?

My response:

I must soldier on no matter how much I want to die right now. I must bite my lip and continue for the 

sake of the others in my life that I love.

end flowchart.

This flowchart describes exactly how I chose to stay alive when all I wanted to do was to die then from about age 21 to 25 years of age off and on.

Then when my son was born and I got married I had another reason or reasons to continue living and starting businesses to support them both. I had no trouble staying alive after that because I am a natural caregiver for others in my basic personality. Owning businesses and taking care of my family and friends gave me peace and happiness in my life to where ending my life was not something I wanted anymore starting at age 26. By 30 I had gone beyond the unrealistic expectations of my 20s and I was actually happy from 30 to 37 when my father died and then I had a difficult 13 years until I almost died too. Then I took a different attitude which was: "I'm grateful for each moment of life of Grace that God gives me here on earth".

I have lived in Grace now for at least 24 years now if not my entire life living with the angels.

By God's Grace
