Mike, how do you know???

Q:  I must tell you that I believe in God, however, I did spend many years an agnostic. The same question I asked a minister when I was a boy came to mind as I read your answers here. How do you know?

Why is what you say any more true than what a priest, or rabbi, or faith-healer says? What happens at the end of our lives when we might find out that this is all there is? At age 50, and not very happy with my financial outlook, I wonder if I spent all those years struggling and working and worrying, only to die broke. I have a list of medical problems, financial fears, self doubts, and the lot. I read one of your answers which stated that this is all brought on by me?

 How do you know?
 

A:  Simply, my life is proof of what I say, and however difficult this may be to accept at first, I think you’ll find that your life is proof of what I say. Recognizing this will place you in a position of power, from which you can set about to do great things.

You are only slightly older than me, therefore with lots to look forward to. And, with a sense of optimism, you can be assured that the best of your life is yet to come!
