Our Authentic Self

It's curious how we know the outcome of certain circumstances yet we don't allow ourselves to fully grasp or feel what the truth really is. We know the outcome but we don't acknowledge what we know deep inside will be the inevitable outcome. I think we all could use a healthy dose of reality on a regular basis. This life being lived in the realm of denial will only lead to the presdestined conlusions which we surpress. Everyday make an effort to acknowledge different areas or subjects of your life in which you find yourslef repressing the inevitable. Now, I know this is way easier said than done, but by working hard to realize and identify these moments in which we find ourselves in patterns of denial only then can we begin to sober ourselves to the true authenticity of out life. When one finds themselves denying any point take that moment to identify it and attempt to understand the egos reason for surpressing the issue and then we can begin to build our authentic self. Deal with the issus you deny youself and you will find your life to be a more pleasant and authentic place to exist. A trully auuthentic person is someone that everyone wants to be around and more importantly trusts. The truth that lies within us is the truth that will set us free.

Make It Happen

It’s hard for us to realize how lucky we are for what we have at this very moment no matter what that means to each of us. If we could only swallow our self defeating thought patterns and realize that we are worthy and beautiful people who deserve to feel satisfied and significant only then we would be able to allow ourselves to feel true satisfaction regardless of our situation. The attainment and possession of material things only further the need to continue the negative and self defeating pattern of possessions collection. We may even get to a point where we have every possession in the world and only then, hopefully, we would be able to realize that none of these possessions and all of that wasted time could satisfy us in the manner that we yearn. Only the simple decision and proliferation of a positive thought pattern in which we are worthy and currently enjoy everything we need to be truly happy, then we will be able to bathe in the blessing of experiencing the immensely valuable and constructive feeling of gratitude and self satisfaction. Make yourself believe, even if you have to lie to yourself, that whatever you yearn for, you have it now. We have all lied to ourselves in a negative capacity, now it’s time to put that practice of self-deception to positive work. I’m not saying to become completely delusional of reality, but to simply attempt to make yourself believe these positive considerations. Make it happen in your mind and it will happen in your life.

Never Give Up

Perseverance is one of the most important attitudes we can chose apply. We cannot be denied what we truly want when we refuse to give up on it until we have it. No matter what it is as long as we continue to fight for it then it will be close to becoming reality. There is no such thing as dreaming too big. There have people in the past that were considered insane for what their dreams were, but once they attained them they changed the world. We all possess this power no matter what sex you are, where you come from, what your name is, what you look like, or anything else can keep you from what you truly want as long as you refuse to give up. Be true to yourself, work hard, and never give up and you can have everything you can dream of. Limits and fear are something we create in reality they don’t exist. Nothing should ever hold you back from achieving what you truly want. Fear, excuses, and procrastination are tools of a weak person. A strong person understands that these things are there to keep you from what you want so they don’t let these things rule them. Life is short so take advantage of every opportunity you have to achieve, better your life and those of others, and never stop striving for better.

Just For Today...

The harsh reality of our lives is that every moment we live is another moment we may have wasted. If we could really look at our lives in Macro approach we would realize that every moment in our lives is but a pixel in the larger picture that makes up our extraordinary lives. Therefore, we must take this perspective of knowing that each moment no matter how mundane or insignificant we may think it may be is a blessed moment we had the privilege to experience. Also, if we find ourselves in a moment of stress, anger, disappointment, or melancholy we must realize that these moments are merely insignificant and will pass when considering the larger picture of our lives. But, just like a picture, our entire lives will fly by like a snap shot.

Looking back on fond memories makes me realize that we often don’t recognize the significance of a chance meeting, living or even being somewhere, sharing even a simple moment whether alone or with some else are moments that will hold special significance in our hearts once they are appreciated retrospectively. I have been truly privileged to have met and shared countless superb and unforgettable times with some truly exceptional, unique, and beautiful individuals.
I take this moment, as I have taken others before, to feel truly blessed and humbled by the presence and occurrence of sharing moments I have enjoyed with many people throughout my hallowed life. I will sincerely and continually make an effort to let these people know how I feel about them with no agenda or expectations what so ever.

If we can look at our lives and realize the honour we have had to share the moments have and to possess the things that we currently have and have had in the past, then we will realize that we have and have had everything we need. Once we make this change of thought we will experience true gratitude and satisfaction at numerous levels of our lives. Everything we have always wanted we can have now by simply realizing (and maybe convincing ourselves) that we have it all. Most of us have been honestly blessed to have never gone without the things we need to not only survive but flourish and enjoy lavishly in our lives. If we would have gone without then we would have had the experience and hopefully the wisdom to see that we are now blessed beyond expectations. We do not need to go without, suffer, or sacrifice in order to attain the wisdom that allows us to come to the realization that we have it all now.

If we can start, even just for today, to love everyone you can sincerely and without fear then truly special moments will be born without expectations. Those who react negatively to your efforts will have to deal with their own demons.
Just for today love, understand, and experience unconditionally.

I dedicate these thoughts to all of you special and beautiful people that have shaped my life without even realizing you were doing so. I am eternally appreciative for your influence in making me who I am, and more importantly, thanks for being you!

A Few Passing Thoughts...

Do not struggle against the current when down stream is where you need to be.

Not Yesterday, Not Today, Not Even Tomorrow, Life is Today.

The best battle that can be won is the internal struggle.

Happiness is just a decision away.

We...

We...

We move

We meet

We share

Relationships flourish

A sense of intimacy is reciprocated

Memories burgeon

We part

We yearn

We reflect

We...

Live Your Life...

Live your life and walk away

Experience the moment and then get away

Deep inside the memories will never fade away

The reasons will not appear as I go away

Every moment that passes by shows that there is no way

Do not wait any longer, it will not make me any stronger

The tears will fall as I fly away

Always live your life in every way

Tomorrow will become today

This Poem is dedicated to all of those special people that seem to be flashes of brillance that I have been lucky enough to share moments of my life.

Why do I care, when I don’t want to care for you

Below is a poem that has been inspired by recent events......

Why do I care, when I don’t want to care for you

I care but I don’t want to
You get drunk
I care but I don’t want to
You compromise yourself
I care but I don’t want to
You whisper what I want to hear
I care but I don’t want to
You hold it all in
I care but I don’t want to
You open up to me
I care but I don’t want to
You don’t learn from your mistakes
I care but I don’t want to
You don’t value yourself
I care but I don’t want to
You tell me you need me
I care but I don’t want to
You reach out to me
I care but I don’t want to
I yearn for your touch, smell, and look
I care but I don’t want to
We argue
I care but I don’t want to
You are gone
I care but I don’t want to
You love me
I care but I don’t want to
You make me want to be a better person
I care but I don’t want to
I try so hard not care, but I want to

Sometimes we try so hard to protect ourselves from certain feelings and our heart doesn't listen to our plea. One look is all it took and the bricks of the wall that I built around my heart came crashing down. God, give me the wisdom to over come the failures that my heart is too weak to handle.

Lincoln's Prophecy

I would like to start off by thanking anyone who is checking out this blog. Together we can all make this planet and all planes of existence a better place. I have created this blog as a manner for self expression on many topics that are constantly harassing my inner most thoughts.

First, a quote from a man that was extremely spiritually enlightened, and I believe never knew so.

Abraham Lincoln's Prophecy

On Nov. 21, 1864 President Abraham Lincoln wrote a letter to Colonel William F. Elkins.

President Lincoln wrote, "I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned, and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed. I feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst of war."

I can feel the emotion and concern that the great former president felt in the moment he was writing this profound, intuitive, and truthful prophecy. The US was once one of the greatest countries in the world to live, grow up, and work in. Sadly, this is no longer the case. The US has the power, influence, money, and means to indulge it's citizens in free universal health care, affordable housing, employment for almost all it's citizens, and many other completely crucial life necessities. But, the US is a country ran by corporations, lobbyists, and ultimately money.

The corruption that the president wrote of has been a part of business since his days, and continues to threaten the very core of the US and it's citizens. The US, with all the claims it makes of progress of equality for all is still a country ran by white men with money. So, nothing has changed since before his time. The US chooses to believe that the prejudice the president wrote of does not exist any longer, but it is alive and well in every facet of American life.

It is an embarrassment to live in a country that has one of the largest GDP's in the world yet it's citizens starve, go without, and die in need. The US allows a man that can not even handle his own family and life, and who also has sent many companies he was responsible for into the oblivion of history, to still rule. The current president creates war and conflict in order to further his own family and interests, while the US falls deeper into a recession, housing slump, and rising unemployment.

I write about this today because a great man once had the wisdom to see what was to come to his once great republic, but now shamed, greedy, and lost is what he once fought for which is now an afterthought. Freedom, equality, and happiness is not on the US's current schedule. The US citizens must take back the Republic it once fought to create and return it to the path it was once on. The US is filled with some of the greatest people with the best potential, but the current status of it's government and the complacency it's citizens live in must change in order for real progress to take place.
