As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

"Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God." (Romans 15:7 NIV)

I saw a movie last night that really moved me. I don't want to call it out because it will only lead to hypocritical assumptions.

Anyways, I have to come to realize how easily people can be manipulated with the simple act of acceptance. As a child we are most vulnerable and prone to the idea that the first mission we are given is the only option we have for life! We can fight every day and every night for the causes we believe to be true to ourselves, but at the end of the day nothing that consists of space really matters.

Matter itself, is what it is, and emotions towards something that doesn't exist only leads to unnecessary thoughts and habits. Imagine being the possible to the impossible, and leaving all doubt behind. You begin to realize that nothing is in your way of life.

Life doesn't mean you have to set goals and achievements in order to obtain satisfaction, because that is all a learned behavior through society. The need to feel successful comes into play through the desire to please the thought of people looking up to you as a model of what is supposed to be.

Being isn't defined through success, being is displayed when a person no longer plays the role of the "sheep" in our society. Individual thoughts and knowledge is measured with the idea that those who tend to feel emotional discomfort are generally weak to individualism.

Motivation is something within.......

"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom." (Ecclesiastes 9:10 NIV)

Why can't some of us find it? Why as human beings, do we believe that self discipline is something your taught?

Actually, it's more like something you use. Waking up every morning can be tough, believe me I know, especially due to the lack of sleep I have been experiencing lately.

What pushes us to get up and tackle the day? Are we forced to get out of bed where it's warm, comfy, and just so accepting of your body's every desire, or do we enjoy the presence of the waking sun and give thanks for the beautiful day that is in store for us all?

We must be grateful! Grateful for the fact that we HAVE the ability to get up out of bed, the ability to WALK to the bathroom, the ability to HAVE a wardrobe to choose from, the ability to MAKE breakfast, the ability to WORK, the ability to HAVE a VOICE!

I have come to the point in my life where I just want to be so brutally blunt to those who take the little things in life for granted, and explain to them why their choices in life are resulting from their insecure perceptions of reality. If you're overweight, than WALK. If you're broke, than WORK. If your hungry, than COOK. If you have heart issues, than take the INITIATIVE.

If NOT then give it to someone who will utilize these gifts, and not take the lack of motivation fore-granted.

All i'm saying is that we ALL have problems and issues that seem to be a factor in our decision making. Just do it! Nothing else should be said. We are who we are, by what we do! Learn to take the initiative and start living up to the expectations you have for yourself, and stop giving up when times get a bit hard. We are fortunate to even have the capacity to understand this concept! BE GRATEFUL FOR IT.

Mighty lion, Gentle Bird.......

You should never allow anyone to have the benefit of assuming your value.

Capability is the essence of knowing your passion, and overcoming any obstacles that keep you from achieving desire.

Pleasure is what one seeks after realizing their desires are too difficult to achieve, or require too much effort. It's easier to desire pleasure, than to desire the hard work it takes to get there.

Loneliness only exist in an unproductive mind!

"On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you." (John 14:20)
