Me or You?

So... it’s been a while since I’ve been doing these things… Writing is not one of my biggest likes, however, for the purpose of changing lives or maybe spreading love, why not write till ink is extinct?

Do you ever think about what life would be like if we ever asked questions about other people rather than ourselves?

Most of the time we reflect and hear questions like:

“I wonder what I’m going to wear today?”

“I wonder how I look because (name(s)) is going to be there.”

“Why am I having such a rough day?”

“I want this….I want that…I …I…I”

It’s funny how subconsciously we tend to think about our own needs and then feel bad when others don’t have what we have.

OR

It’s funny how we can even pretend to think of other people with the motive of self-gratification. What do you mean? I mean that we THINK we are about others, when we really just want to make sure our points get across. Instead of being that person to make sure others are cool and understanding, we get the internal glory and it ends up putting us back to square one of how to get over “myself.”

What the heck am I saying?!

You’re given what you’re given to be given to others. Ever heard that phrase, “blessed to be a blessing”?

THAT’S what you are.

That’s WHO you are.

That’s why YOU are.

That’s how you ARE made.

So start thinking a bit different now…

“how in the world can I encourage someone?”

“What do they need that I can help with?”

“If I’m blessed to bless others, how do I start?”

Maybe we got to check motives before we start the day. Then when you check them and they are right, You’ll find big-time satisfaction every day.

Blessed

To be

A blessing!

There it is!

Hey Readers,

There are times where I wonder why things just don't click the way they should. Have you ever pondered as to why some people just don't get things right away?

Ok, it can take time for people to understand stuff because not everyone learns right away. However, what if the people have heard the same advice or words repeatedly, then it takes days to weeks to months for them to get it.

It's almost like a true understanding never takes place until there is a conscious decision made to be open enough to receive it. Then a decision has to be made to let the words actually sink in.

Then there is a period of meditation or pondering. It's like the questions of,

"What can I do different?"

" Am I not doing that now?"

"How in the world do I change if I'm jacking it up now?"

Maybe not in those specific words, but similar to it...

It's like a scene in most movies where the child or the adult gets lost in the jungle...

What happens?

They can either do 1 of 2 things:

1. Decide to quit and dwell in the jungle

2. Decide to go through the jungle and find a way home

You can almost picture this footage in your mind. You are walking through and about to get confused and lost. You keep going. The scenario gets thicker and thicker. It almost captures a moment of hopelessness if you see nothing but the same stuff around you with no glimmer of exit. You keep walking, looking left and right. You keep talking and convincing their mind that there is a way out.

Through the branches, rocky roads, wet grounds, creatures great and small, there finally comes a point where a small visibility is gained. It looks like an ocean or an open land. So you keep walking towards this hindsight picture and trip a bit here and there. Finally your as close as an arms distance. You swing away the branches and trees and you reopen your eyes! THERE IT IS!

It's freedom,

It's understanding,

It's Joy

It's what you've been waiting for and that was simply to find a way out.

Why? Because there was no way you want to sit in a deep hidden forest area just consuming all you know to a moment under a tree.

People have to make those choices!! THERE IT IS!

The choice to go after the "There it is"...too many times we quit right when we are near the finish line. Get determined and go harder! Now like never before is the time to peek through and seek the other side. Get through the crap!

When you get to the other side, you can say, "There it is!!!" Then you can turn right back around and help more fellas that are following you or looking up to you.

Go hard!

Go forward!

Go clear!

Most of all...........................DON'T GIVE UP!!!!

What's new

Hey!

So the $5 question is: What's Old?

IF the answer is everything, then you got to get rid of some of that stuff to welcome in something new. Why do you want to hang on to the old?

Old Clothes

Old shoes

Old sheets

Old cars

Old papers

Old food (i have a knack for leftovers)

JUST OLD!!

How come the world gets to change and acclimate to new developments that are continuously evolving and birthing?

How come we don't want to change?

Are you saying that the same process will work forever even when the trends of the world are ever changing?

Maybe in some things that are principle oriented, things will can be the same cause you operate by the principle rather than the scenario.

Principle's always work!

You got to work them though.

So take out the moth balls, cobwebs, from your mind! Get your mind open and implement some new trends, new vibes, new fashion.

That way............... .when people ask, " Hey, what's new?!"

You can simply respond, "Everything!"

Make room for the new. It'll be worth it. Trash the old.

My walk changed, My talk changed, My life changed and I'm not the same!

Much love

What's New?!

My, Oh My!


It has truly been a minute...actually I like to think more like days and months since I have last wrote.

There was the dawn of a new year that arose.

So much has happened since November of 2009.

New additions to the church.

New additions to lifestyle.

New additions to the family (not babies).

New additions for cash flow.

Newness all around.

My questions is, What's NEW with you?

Many people that I ask that question to give a couple different responses...

"Nothing much, Same old, Same old."

"Nothing new happens in this area."

"New?! I haven't done anything new since I was a kid."

Then you got those people who have responses everyday!

"It's a new day!"

"Got some new material/clothes."

"My family is doing so much better."

"Life"

Of course, random folk are like....

"My dog shocked himself!"

or

"I don't have to walk with holes in my jeans cause I got a new pair!"

What's Your response?! It's a brand new moment for you. What are you gonna make out of it?

If you've been given 1,440 minutes in a day. Do you seek to be a good steward over that time?

I just took 30 of those minutes writing this to encourage you to get out and be the moment!

Live now!

It's your time!

The best way to make the day go great is by accomplishing what others can't! All because you are telling yourself that "you can."

Be to others what you want them to be to you!

Make a new choice, a new decision to live like you got it all!

Then make another new choice and another new decision to live to give it all!





Peace,


Much Love,
