This post is one of a series based on the book, Life 101: Everything We Wish We Had Learned About Life In School — But Didn't.
This book is a very powerful inspirational and self-help book without being pretentious about being powerful, inspirational, or a self-help book.
If you're interested in doing something about your life and don't have the money right now for a life coach, try this book.
There are used copies at amazon.com for pennies on the dollar.
Maybe something here, or in this series, will be the inspiration that can help you through a particularly tough day or time in your life.

The chapter in this book about death is quite interesting, and even enlightening if one can tolerate reading about death. Therein lies the quandary.
One section is about a child's view of death since many children, if not most children, are exposed to death when grandma or granddad dies, or a favorite pet dies. Life goes from having a loving pet or family member is now a cold, silent corpse.
The more people a child asks, the more conflicting the answers might become. Perhaps only sex is cloaked in more mystery than death.
Adults cry, or withdraw from the family. Visits to the hospital. Unpleasant sights and smells. Religion provides a list of sins by which, after death, there is fire and brimstone, burning sulphur, and hell. Death must hurt. Death is terrible. I'm going to hell.
Is it any wonder that children put death on hold after their first experience? If they don't have to think about it, they won't. Just another unpleasant task that can be put off, like homework.
What kind of homework are you putting off? Analysis of your business, income, expenses, marketing, time with family? Is it time to sit down and think about things that you don't want to think about. Time to do your homework?

Russell it is human nature to procrastinate. If we would just deal with things as they come it certainly would take stress away.
