Thought for the Moment- 1/27/22

You are going to mess up. You are going to absolutely error in the living of your life. You are going to fall and fail and then find it almost impossible to recover from certain mistakes. You are going to destroy some opportunities, some relationships, and some people. That’s just the truth. You are going to lose. You are going to lose money, time, things, people, moments, sleep. You are going to suffer. You are going to struggle. You are going to find it remarkably difficult to maintain at times. You are going to hurt. You are going to lose faith. You are going to lose hope. You are going to lose more than that. You are going to lose your vision. You are going to lose your dream. You are going to lose your potential. You are going to find it a challenge to smile. You are going to anger. You are going to be miserable. You are going to be depressed. You are going to be sick.

But if you are who I believe YOU ARE, YOU ARE GOING TO BE OKAY!

Because, here’s the thing, YOU ARE GOING!

You are not dead. You still have a chance. You still have an opportunity. You still have a reason. YOU-STILL-HAVE!

You are going to reset. You are going to recover. You are going to try again. You are going to keep trying.

Life is not all love and likable moments. Life ain’t fair. Life ain’t equal. Life ain’t consistent. Life ain’t just.

Life is chaotic. Life is erratic. Life is spontaneous. Life is a fight. Life is a struggle. Life is a competition. Life is a battle.

And life is delicate. Life is fragile. Life is precious.

If you’re reading this, life is available. Because you’re living. And that’s the first and most important part of every story, the part that lives…

Life requires YOUR participation! You have to LIVE IT. And living includes the gamut of these things. Living is down and up, out and in, poor and rich, bad and good, losing and winning, failure and success, challenge and change. Life is the overcoming, and the redemption, and the vindication, that you get to experience. Because YOU CHOOSE TO NOT GIVE UP! Because you choose to LIVE!!!

And if you do…

YOU ARE GOING to win. YOU ARE GOING to survive. YOU ARE GOING to become. YOU ARE GOING to succeed. YOU ARE GOING to thrive. YOU ARE GOING to recover! YOU ARE GOING to benefit. YOU ARE GOING to want it, get it, do it, have it, keep it, share it, and be able to talk about it!

That’s what it’s about- living- the experience. Your life is about YOU living it.

Not just till the end, but to the fullest.

Thought for the Moment. 1/26/22

Our children are lost because we give them instruction without direction, we give them rules instead of respect, we offer them fear instead of freedom, we example rebellion instead of righteousness.

Our children are suffering because we are suffering. Because we are an unhealed and unhappy collection of programmed and systematic responses to hate and evil.

Our children don’t experience love because we lack an ability to let go. We don’t love, we control. We don’t love, we contort. We don’t love, we command. We don’t love, we compete. We don’t love, we compare. We don’t love, we confuse. We don’t love, we complain.

Our children do not have a chance because we won’t surrender our hope of having one. Because we won’t step aside. Because we refuse to stand down when the time requires that. We’d rather have vindication instead of vision. We want redemption instead of renewal. We’d settle for profit instead of progress.

Our children know this.

Our children know that we’re hurt. Our children know that we’re angry. Our children know that we’re jealous of them, of their youth, of their chance. Our children know that we are their biggest albatross. Our children know that we are their most ferocious foe.

We are the enemy. Of our own children!

We are losing our children to inspirations and influences that are the available that we are not. Because they offer access to ideas and impulses that we act like we don’t possess. Because we’d rather be secretive and selfish about our faults. We won’t mention our real mistakes. We hide our issues. We try to protect our identities from the very people that really know us.

Our children know us!

And they’ve exhibited a level of grace and understanding that could only be the power of God. That they’ve chosen not to overcome us, for the respect and regard of who and what we mean to them, is a love that we’ve tried hard to deny.

Because we fail them. We fail them because we don’t love them. We don’t love them because we don’t love ourselves. We don’t love ourselves because we have no idea of who we are.

We don’t know who we are because…

Today’s -see 1/20/23

Your best moments won’t be captured by any camera. You won’t have time to take a picture because you’ll be taking that chance.

Your life is supposed to be lived. In real time, at every NOW moment, present and aware.

The ”good ole days” that we speak of now are the rough and tough times we had back when. Back when there was a curious courage to confront and conquer consciousness. Those moments produced the adrenaline and action that affirmed our attitudes toward imaginative and creative expression.

We’ve been seduced into believing that pain-free is the goal. And it’s not. Convenience is calamitous. The “struggle” is not just real, it is REQUIRED!

The people that you most admire are jealous of who you are. They’re envious of your power. They wish they were you. They want what you have.

You’re the only one that doesn’t appreciate who you are! And there are a lot of people and paranormal energies that rely on that very thing. You being unaware of just how important you are.

You’re allowing your address to determine your destination.
You’re allowing your bank account to determine your value.
You’re allowing your mistakes to determine your movements.
You’re allowing your current state of mind to determine your outlook.
You’re allowing your circumstances to determine your optimism.
You’re allowing your issues to determine your attitude.
You’re allowing your fears to determine your faith.
You’re allowing your past to determine your future.
You’re allowing your silence to determine your success.

While the truth is that most of what is happening to you, for you, in you, by you, around you… is because YOU ALLOW it!

And you’re comparing the life you know to a life (or lives) you know nothing about.

These people that you seek to verify or validate you are going through the VERY SAME things as you! The role models and authority figures and leaders and celebrities and “influencers” that you imagine or perceive to be in such a better place than you, are not. Their situation is just as dire.

Dust in an apartment ain’t no different than dust in a mansion.
(and one is easier to clean).

Social media is becoming (and has been) a dangerous place for our minds. Because these algorithms present a very false narrative of what really is. The compartmentalization of expressive output via the subjugation of categorical formula is terribly flawed. There should be no “like”, comment, or share feature on these images. Those features don’t “allow for” as much as they ”impress upon”. These apps aren’t creating as much opportunity as they are controlling.

We are going to, have to, must, change that.

First, you must change YOU. That’s most, and much more, important.

The monetary capitalization of the human experience has rendered us transactional to an extent far beyond what can allow anything equal. That is why racism, sexism, classism, and many other “ism’s” exist.

That’s another scripture, for a different sermon.

You’re the message today. And you’ll be the message tomorrow, and going forth. Actually, you’ve been the message. You were the message ever since there was a you.

You’re what’s important here. This is about you. Because without you, none of it matters!

When you REALIZE that! Maaaannn.

When you realize that YOU MATTER. When you realize that you are necessary. When you realize that you’re valuable. When you realize that you are the currency. When you realize that you are the commodity.

And that you’re not supposed to be “controlled”. You’re supposed to be connected.

To the source;
To the light;
To the people;
To the land;
To the water;
To the heart;
To the natural;
To the community;
To the children;
To more…
To the present

Always to the present. Aware.
