You deserve what you get or is it you will only get what you feel you deserve or is it if you feel bad about yourself you will not feel you deserve anything good. So is the moral of the story “do what you feel is the most truthful and the most giving (regardless of any other outside influence) at any given moment and what you deserve and what you get will multiply into something much better”

and this does not happen everynight.
To share this thought makes me feel vulnerable. I am suppose to fulfill the stereo type of tough and macho. And not let my feelings out on these matters, especially in public. Love is most likely the greatest gift in the world. Wow, the profound ramifications that happen when you can give and receive love, in the gracious manner of love. When in love there is no wrong that can be done. In most cases love given is unconditional. The expression of it is where the most joy lies. Make today a day where that expression is made known to the people you really admire and care about and even the ones you do not. Many times love is inhibited, for it is vulnerable and many times the intensity is not mutual, but love has a solvency that can melt away most doubt and fear, so let it flow and nurture it, for total fulfillment. Not just for your sake but for others. Truly experience what may be the greatest joy in this universe. . The majority of us have to work for what we want, there are no real short cuts, and even the rich who have everything have to work for the things money cannot buy. Sure they can manipulate the playing board. But the free will of man knows what is right and no one can steal that away unless we let them. If what you want creates greater survival not only for yourself but for others, do not let the actions of a few corrupt people and groups stand in your way. It never is easy but it is always worth the effort. Break the chains that hold you down from being all you can be. Do not stay a puppet to your mind or others. Do not follow the status quo. Be different. Be proud. Take the responsibility that no other wants to take. Be the first to take a stand or help someone else who is taking a stand to break the bonds of apathy, of fear and of complacency. We cannot be allowed to be sucked in by the greed and power of a few. Help make this a better world help make a better you. Find your way to get what you want and find your way to make this a better world. Work hard, work fast, and enjoy the spirit of the ride, the adventures of good over evil. Just do it and support and acknowledge those who are doing it their way.
To get someone to do what you want you must have agreement. Without agreement you will not produce change. Change without agreement is only superficial. Agreement only comes by really caring for that person, with communication that is strong in listening and with acknowledging what is important to that person. As this is established, affinity with that person should rise. Once affinity rises, this person may allow your ideas, concerns and thoughts into his own world for consideration. Only then can you have a dialogue which has the possibility to produce change. It is not about one’s own agenda You must give in order to receive. Without giving you become effect of your own lack of cause. To be “cause” you must give to others .Self importance is a good way to be effect and not cause. Unwanted effects on self are caused by self importance. To have true happiness for self you must first make someone else happy. “Watching out for number one” is a misnomer. The term should be “watching out for others “. There is more power in helping others than in helping oneself. It is otherwise an illusion. When you despise another, you despise yourself. When you hurt another, you hurt yourself, as it goes. Being cause in life seems contrary to how you feel and how you think you must act for greatest survival. Is there greater joy in proving that you are right or is there greater joy in acknowledging the rightness in others. Should the way you feel be the way you act or is the way you feel at times a trap to greater unrest. Should one not act for greatest survival rather than the way one feels? When you can let others be who they are, understand them, admire them, communicate with them, only then can you be cause and allow yourself to be heard. Does one need to swallow their pride, or be submissive in their nature? Only the greatest of men can be humble in their nature. It is those men that become our greatest leaders. For a true leader one at greatest cause can understand human nature and communicate to those with the least amount of self importance but with the greatest concern and care of others. He grants the greatest of importance to each and every person in his group. If you want to have it your way help others get it their way. This may seem to be a dichotomy but looked at more closely I think not. Many parts of life tend to go in this direction, which tends to confuse people greatly. Only with greater inspection can truth reveal itself. I find it amazing and frustrating how most of us follow the illusion that we have no time to do the things we feel are important, but have the time to chase, what others tell us, what important should be, but also, how we waste time on things, that are really, if you look at it, are not as important as we make them out to be. So it must be some kind of trap to keep us in check. I appreciate the people who keep telling us to look out the window, to remind us, that there is more to the illusion than that of our own cage.
in this world to always look at trying to change a person’s vices. Take way more time acknowledging and admiring a person’s virtues and it does not even have to be just their virtues but can even be just their existence. Have gratitude and be thankful for the smallest of things,
Understand the words condescension*, arrogance* and and contempt* . Look at yourself and think if you might exhibit the smallest characteristic of these traits. Example: Do you ever question or consider someone should be better than they are ,by using the above traits. As you might be hard on yourself don’t do it to others and don’t do it on yourself. Consider instead looking at what you do right in your own eyes consider that others are just who they are, and acknowledge the good and admire it. If you only look, there is a lot to acknowledge and admire. The world needs more love than bringing it to the standards that you deem appropriate for living. If you want to change things be a role model, put yourself in action for the change you want to see. Be It and do It. Do it with others, get others to participate. Others will have no choice but to follow you. They will become inspired to act at some point in time. Think of the people you look up to and look at why they seem to be the catalyst of your own desires. Their actions may not be your own but emulate the direction of their leadership, inspire others around you with acknowledging and admiring the good, even if it is the smallest thing. As the saying goes “what you put your attention on and that what you admire will manifest before your very eyes” and that goes for if it is good or it is bad. *Condescension- treating others as less important or intelligent. the behavior of someone that shows they think they are more important or more intelligent than other people *Arrogance-behavior showing you think you are better. behavior that shows that you think you are better or more important than other people *Contempt-a powerful feeling of dislike toward somebody or something considered to be worthless, inferior, or undeserving of respect We are not in this world to prove anything to anybody. We are here to be the best person we can be, to be who we are. We are in this world to learn how to love, care and help one another the best we can, not just think about what is best for number one. We are not in this world to judge or make a profit, we are in this world with the goal of having the greatest survival for all, in the most positive way possible. When you can say with the utmost integrity to yourself that you are taking on this responsibility and are doing your best at it; then you have something to lean on, which can bring yourself and others to greater heights. Never stop learning, never stop creating, never let circumstances or the environ of people places and things, say it cannot be done. Each and every one of us is a leader to one degree or another. Lead by example and do not berate others around you. Lead by inspiration, guidance and praise
When someone sees something totally opposite from you they are right in their own universe. If I want to have my way, I must see their point of view, if I am ever going to have a chance to convince them otherwise. It needs to be done with sincerity, concern, care, patience, tolerance, and understanding. Sometimes even a lot of Communication. Doing this in apathy is not advised, but doing it in strong interest is most beneficial. Suggestion to get your way then becomes much stronger than demand could ever be. It is all about getting a person’s own willingness to do, be or look than be forced, coerced, or tricked into looking, being or doing. I think if this could be mastered, anyone who could apply it, could have more success in their daily life. Allow people to be who they are, for good or bad it does not matter. Praise them for deeds well done. Inspire them to be more than they are. Acknowledge them for the good things they have done. Understand them for what they do. Give them love regardless of who they are. You are not their judge, you are their brother. A brothers job is to promote peace ,prosperity and happiness for all. |
