I am cause and I am affect when I choose to be. Let it be known I make my own bed. Let it be known the power of one can forward the ultimate victory of our civilization or be as simple as forwarding the success of our relationships with others. It does not take two; it takes you and/or me to make the difference needed for success in any endeavor embarked upon in this game of life. Carry it forward. It is a new moment, a new beginning. Yesterday is gone, today is here, and tomorrow is yet to be built. There is no better time than this moment, be who you are, and carry on with great purpose. This purpose is one of creation, one of aesthetics, one of love and understanding. It is one where as a group we need to help each other, be better than we are, we need to cut the chains that bind us from achieving what could possibly be a utopia. This may be far off, but it always starts with the present moment, persistently staying in the moment, as you carry out your highest order of purpose.

The reason why most people do not succeed is that they are to comfortable , nothing is truly threatening their survival to exist .The discomfort of stepping out of the comfort zone is just a touch to much for most all people. To much work, to much energy, to much randomity, to much unknowingness , to much risk, to much fear, to much pain. Why step out when the so called security of not reaching out will keep you warm and safe, but yet still a prisoner. People who are successful, lay it all on the line. All or nothing. It is only when you can muster up the guts to do this, will you win. If you cannot, the odds are extremely against you, to go where you truly would like to be. It becomes a dream without an ending, without the fulfillment. Or you buy in on the idea of taking less than you really wanted. There is nothing more in this life than to fulfill your passions. The truth of anyone’s passion when considered as pro survival is one of aesthetics , one of fulfillment, one of promotion, for the fact dreams can become true, we can have a better world, we can be successful, we can be happy and experience all the virtues of life.
You do have to be able to let it all go to get there. No I have to much to do. Now No I need to get ready. Now I need to sleep. Now When I get a little more time. Now After we get through with this party. Now I am working it. Now I have to finish everything I am doing. Now I am just not ready yet. Now I am getting to it. Now Maybe it is to late. Now I have more problems to handle before I start. Now Yes I can go on and on with possibly a million excuses why not now, but if there is something important in your life you want to accomplish the time is NOW not later, !! NOW not later!!!! NOW not later!!!!!! When life gives you blow after blow and the going gets tough. What do you do?. Some say when the going gets tough the tough get going. But really what takes the toughness out of tough?
How about a hug, the touch of someone’s hands, and a smile. The eye contact of a thank you, which comes out of the blue. Admiration and acknowledgement for trying to help whether you succeeded or not . Appreciation of effort. It is not that we demand this , but when it comes from someone via their freewill to give it, it takes the toughness out of tough. It gives validation. Let me say from my perspective and it is not everyone’s . When I do a job, half my pay is money the other half is appreciation. It is not a must have, it is a bonus that makes working that much more fun and satisfying. I think it is a good thing to remember and consider the next time around. When people fight about money they may have overstep the bounds of so called budget policy. Solution is not to fight about it but just go out and make more. Then spend most of it on making more, some of it on maintaining your location of operation and a bit on pleasure, and a small amount for the rainy days ahead.
Fairness- you are taking on the world you are moving like a locomotive, your partner in life or in work looks like they are fooling around, you seem to be the one making it all go. Kudos to you, you get tired, you work hard. Is your partner working as hard as you? Maybe not. You say maybe I should just go play and you bring in the money. You might even feel , exchange of your partner is not in. You are the one kicking so called butt and now you want to feel like a victim. You want to make yourself less. Say what? duh… wrong attitude, wrong answer. You are the machine, you are power, and you are cause. Maybe your partner cannot go at that speed, maybe confront is low, maybe more fear than they can handle. They may be suffering, just thinking they cannot come close to keeping up with you. They might even be having a hard time because of it. They might even have a completely different path they are following that could be completely foreign to you. But you are a leader and you need to take that role on. Leaders inspire, encourage, admire, acknowledge, understand, and make it safe for others to take their path and fly. There is no praise, approval or sympathy that will possibly come with this territory. Carry on friends. You have taken the lead and must know what goes with it. You do it because you can you do it. Because you love the game. You do it because you want to experience all what life has to offer. You take on that responsibility because you are a being that has high values, high integrity, you know under all the junk that you really do have the power to pull it off .You want that rush. You do not have to play victim. Keep rising to the occasion and take it. Pointing fingers is not part of the game. Bottom line :is to admire the good , to acknowledge the good, ……in people. When you do this, something happens inside them to where they want to rise to what you admire them for. Who are you to judge what is right for anyone, we all have our dreams, our hopes and desires. We also all have our deep seated fears that tend to keep us from being all we can be. Tell a person they are wrong for being who they are and you will send them deeper into a hole, or if not that, they plain and simple will not want to be around you. When others are not following the plan you think they should follow, you can say,……. it makes you wrong,…….. you do not want to be wrong …..so you try to change them to make yourself more right. This is not logical thinking. This seems to be inbred in most people to cause conflict. This is only my observation. To one degree maybe there is some truth to it and maybe some untruth. I guess the moral of this story is support those close to you , people you know , be excited for them ……., feel their passion……….., you do not have to convert them. The understanding, the affinity, the reality and the communication will grow quicker and faster than you can ever possibly imagine. Not only they will be happier but so will you. You know the hardest thing in life is to confront your own bias, your own preset aberrations, your so called consideration of expected performance , When you can have the ability to exhibit a graciousness of allowing another to be who they are instead of demanding they meet certain expectations, you most usually can experience a closer connection to that person . It is like gender bias , racial bias, this can be called beingness bias. You do not think they should be who or how they are. We are all looking for the answers to happiness and success. Others find it faster than others, others claim they are close, yet you wonder how that could be when it seems to you, they look so loss. You seem to know the answers that they cannot see. And they may never see, what you see when you demand it from them. For they have to defend their rightness. So they will be steadfast and possibly hold on to what is wrong or in reality, what they see as truly right, the best you can do is inspire, and even acknowledge what they see as right.Only then can you gently present something that may have a little more truth in it .When you can do this you operate more at cause rather than effect. It is a great ability when one can do this. I cannot say I have mastered this. Most obvious is that in a work environment you must come up to preset standards but as a human being it is an individual thing, that in most cases should be respected. Most difficult is when they are close to you. Experience life as if there were no tomorrow Set aside the bias of yesterday and live in the moment Considerations of rancor holds no happiness Make it your job to beget a smile Admire and acknowledge the good efforts of others Feel the excitement of life Be able to experience anything without discord Understand the area where others begin to experience discord and do not push them further If one can follow the above easily and consistently you can possibly experience the life that people only dream about |
