There are times when the only reason people are together is because of sex and have no other commonalities. It was just based on great orgasms from the start and maybe a fear of being alone and both settled. The other side of the equation is that two people get along very well, have a lot in common, and are on similar paths but the sexual chemistry isn't there or has been lost over time. Have we stopped to ask ourselves why? Is it because people grow at different rates? Change at different times in their life, want something different, or become complacent? We are sexual beings whether we want to admit it or not and we all change over time and at different rates and levels. I believe that is why marriage is so difficult to maintain, along with relationships. We are always changing or at least should be growing and maturing with age and seeking new goals and levels. In our twenties and all the way back to our childhood, we are young and foolish and want what we see from our relatives and peers around us and what we see in the media as love. We all think we should be married, have kids, a nice house, a great job. Then our thirties come and we realize that we want something different out of life. More passion, adventure, goals wisdom, knowledge, and taking risks that should have been taken earlier in life. By then we are already in debt, have kids and your partner is growing at a different rate and in a different direction than you, or becoming more successful at their career than you and it creates turmoil. A lot of factors add to relationships and can cause greed, jealousy, envy because of success and growth. I believe we are at the turning point of what was considered traditional relationships and marriage. We have more understanding now of how the human mind works and how we grow, how we react to each other, and what we can become. There is also the aspect of mental illness, we'll get to that at a later date. We are essentially primates and no primate is monogamous. Now we come to the marriage aspect of human nature. There is a reason why men fear marriage, other than the fact if that's the only person he gets to have sex with while in that marriage. The man fears losing what he has worked so hard to obtain. Ladies, before you start your hate mail, let me finish. The system we have with marriage and divorce is set up in your favor. You get the alimony, half of everything, and child support if you have kids (I'll save the income equality for another time). Not completely your fault though, the lawyers step in and want their cut and start putting it into your head that you deserve more and telling you he is trying to screw you over. Then the battle begins and the lawyers start making money, and the man typically ends up covering both those bills as well. That is the other reason why men fear marriage, they fear losing everything. Both sides need to remember that your partner will change and grow over time. And you may grow apart and in different directions. It's a simple fact of human nature, it will happen. Don't get me wrong, you can work it out, come to common ground and keep going if you are willing to work at it. For the most part how we are designed in today's society. We always look for the easy way out or the way to obtain the most money. Or just desire the excitement of starting over or being with someone new, which is just as exciting. Whatever the case may be, it's all on the individuals in the relationship. Knowing what they want, where they are going, and whether or not they want to stay together and work it out. Or go their separate ways peacefully. To put it more simply, communication and we all lack that in today's society. We always throw this idea of love into the mix as well. We all think that it is eternal, which in some cases it may be. But in reality, the true concept of love is not being selfish. It's saying I care about your happiness as much as my own and if you're happier without me, be adults about it and allow each other to move on and be happy. Therein lies being civil about it, talking it through and not being selfish and greedy, and taking every last dime before they go. In other words, just be selfless in each other's happiness.</p>Eric Valhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11490928428738501417noreply@blogger.com0Pennsylvania, USA41.2033216 -77.194524712.893087763821157 -112.3507747 69.513555436178848 -42.0382747tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540886068719707634.post-86853704362894825422021-02-28T16:25:00.002-08:002021-03-01T15:48:02.873-08:00Selfish Sex <p> <span> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHml0F2joJ9dD13pRqcjIHjcxq6IvADVEDI2xf1A4PBuVVDC8_duu0zYdbMoMrhfQaBgLqa0PT1vD-znh6-oR1nYCfGSJzp99VY4wPhJUgZHLS2DD9WYSiYPpwJOkXc0QQuOywN6XKHcg/s1600/Eric+Val-Die+An+Original.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="725" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHml0F2joJ9dD13pRqcjIHjcxq6IvADVEDI2xf1A4PBuVVDC8_duu0zYdbMoMrhfQaBgLqa0PT1vD-znh6-oR1nYCfGSJzp99VY4wPhJUgZHLS2DD9WYSiYPpwJOkXc0QQuOywN6XKHcg/s320/Eric+Val-Die+An+Original.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p><br /></p><p><span> A </span>common thing I've heard from women who I have talked to about sex is that men do not care if a woman has an orgasm. They only care about getting her into bed and getting off. They never take the time to figure out what turns a woman on, what fantasies they have, and what makes them orgasm. Men tend to lean towards the primal side of sex and that is to be domineering and above them. Then there is the other two factors. Single men are just looking for a notch on their belt and married men are just looking for a release when they cheat. Men also typically don't have the stamina to keep up with women and just worry about getting them into bed, getting off, and leaving them disappointed. What men do not realize is that learning and discovering what turns a woman on and gets her off will be empowering for both of you. It's a give and take that is rarely discussed and probably makes men feel inferior. Most women have the capability for multiple orgasms and longevity. While men have the capability for stamina but typically can only have one orgasm at a time and the woman has to wait a few minutes for the second round or the third for that matter. Women, however, can go for a long, long time. Hence why it is important to find all the things that turn her on when it comes to foreplay, sex, teasing, and everything else that comes along with female orgasm. Allow her to be open and tell you what she wants and follow through with it. You won't believe how much of a turn it is to get a woman to orgasm and get turned on by what she likes. And in all reality will bring you two closer together. Now there is a give and take to all this. Men have their fantasies too and should be able to talk about them as well. Therein lies the other half of the battle of sex, communication. Both sides are so afraid of talking about sex and being open with it that it creates a barrier between the two sides. Men and women are wired differently, we need different things sexually. And the more both sides are willing to listen and try things out and quit being so selfish the better off we will all be. </p>Eric Valhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11490928428738501417noreply@blogger.com0Pennsylvania, USA41.2033216 -77.194524712.893087763821157 -112.3507747 69.513555436178848 -42.0382747tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540886068719707634.post-55905118171454495342021-02-02T14:04:00.000-08:002021-02-02T14:04:30.354-08:00I Don't Care by Eric Val<iframe frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/U_j_WInmKFA" width="480"></iframe>Eric Valhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11490928428738501417noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540886068719707634.post-10676068256799169202021-01-16T10:21:00.000-08:002021-01-16T10:21:23.793-08:00Division<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHml0F2joJ9dD13pRqcjIHjcxq6IvADVEDI2xf1A4PBuVVDC8_duu0zYdbMoMrhfQaBgLqa0PT1vD-znh6-oR1nYCfGSJzp99VY4wPhJUgZHLS2DD9WYSiYPpwJOkXc0QQuOywN6XKHcg/s1600/Eric+Val-Die+An+Original.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="725" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHml0F2joJ9dD13pRqcjIHjcxq6IvADVEDI2xf1A4PBuVVDC8_duu0zYdbMoMrhfQaBgLqa0PT1vD-znh6-oR1nYCfGSJzp99VY4wPhJUgZHLS2DD9WYSiYPpwJOkXc0QQuOywN6XKHcg/s320/Eric+Val-Die+An+Original.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Division</u></b></p><p style="text-align: left;">At a time in our nation's history when we could have had peace and moved forward with a better plan of prosperity and humanity. We are divided and at odds with each other. We have allowed ourselves to be pushed apart by two sides of a government that in all reality does not care about us and a very rich one percent above them that certainly do not care about us. The only thing any of them care about is money, power, and control or in other words full-blown narcissism at its finest. Our rights disappearing at a rapid rate, our fears all pushed by a media who is in the same category as the money-hungry, control freaks above them and no one wants to look at the big picture. Most just want comfort and security and the powers that be a feed on that fact and use it against you and at this moment, are using it to turn us against each other. The problem is big but the solution is simple. Find balance and common ground on what is best for humanity. No one wants to do that though, everyone just wants to be on a side and be right, no matter what the cost. Which in itself is just another form of narcissism. Everyone wants to be right and recognized for words and/or achievements. No one wants to be wrong and humbled and then gain wisdom. For certain, no one is asking where we as a collective people are heading and what is the best route and common ground that we can all stand on. We remain divided by people who don't care about us. Everyone is fearful of change and looking to choose sides. Instead of realizing that it will take a massive change with all of us on the same page looking to better ourselves as people, a nation, and for future generations. A hard road for sure and most are not willing to take the hard road to better themselves, are they? We always look for the quickest, simplest solution in our here and I want it now society. It's always easier to tear people down than it is to build with them and work together with a common goal in mind. In reality, we will never completely achieve a utopia, it would always be in the building, growing, and learning process as the times change and people evolve. But if you break it down to just common sense, wisdom, and humanity and build from there, we might have a shot while standing together. As of now, we are divided. Lincoln said it best " A house divided cannot stand." So how long till we fall? </p>Eric Valhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11490928428738501417noreply@blogger.com0Pennsylvania, USA41.2033216 -77.194524712.893087763821157 -112.3507747 69.513555436178848 -42.0382747tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540886068719707634.post-6193964972985852922021-01-16T09:02:00.001-08:002021-01-16T09:02:35.244-08:00The Struggle<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHml0F2joJ9dD13pRqcjIHjcxq6IvADVEDI2xf1A4PBuVVDC8_duu0zYdbMoMrhfQaBgLqa0PT1vD-znh6-oR1nYCfGSJzp99VY4wPhJUgZHLS2DD9WYSiYPpwJOkXc0QQuOywN6XKHcg/s1600/Eric+Val-Die+An+Original.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="725" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHml0F2joJ9dD13pRqcjIHjcxq6IvADVEDI2xf1A4PBuVVDC8_duu0zYdbMoMrhfQaBgLqa0PT1vD-znh6-oR1nYCfGSJzp99VY4wPhJUgZHLS2DD9WYSiYPpwJOkXc0QQuOywN6XKHcg/s320/Eric+Val-Die+An+Original.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><u><b>The Struggle</b></u></p><p style="text-align: left;">Eighty percent don't care the other twenty percent are glad it's you. A true statement about how other people feel about your problems and struggles. Yet we all tend to vent and complain about our problems whether be on social media or to each other and it never solves anything. We tend to forget that failures, setbacks, loss, heartache, and pain all show our true colors and will build character if you allow it to. Everyone has their problems and not enough time and patience to help others deal with theirs while dealing with their own. So in short, it gets left on the individual to help themselves and use all their failures as lessons and fuel to the fire of getting up and getting better. I regress a little, there are plenty of podcasts, vlogs, blogs, articles, and books written and said of successful people who have had similar problems and worse and have found a way to overcome them. If your willing to listen, read, and take the advice from individuals who have been able to overcome similar struggles, then you yourself can do the same. Complaining and wanting sympathy and pity solves nothing and only makes you look weak. Only recognizing who you are, what you've been through, your weaknesses and strengths, and having the determination to better yourself will get you to a better place. Learn to appreciate the struggle and the lessons it brings to you. Definitely keeps life interesting.</p>Eric Valhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11490928428738501417noreply@blogger.com0Pennsylvania, USA41.2033216 -77.1945247-38.831345731554869 142.18047529999996 90 63.430475300000026tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540886068719707634.post-15551110600143693242020-12-26T13:00:00.001-08:002020-12-26T13:05:59.632-08:0027 Grams<p> <span> </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHml0F2joJ9dD13pRqcjIHjcxq6IvADVEDI2xf1A4PBuVVDC8_duu0zYdbMoMrhfQaBgLqa0PT1vD-znh6-oR1nYCfGSJzp99VY4wPhJUgZHLS2DD9WYSiYPpwJOkXc0QQuOywN6XKHcg/s1600/Eric+Val-Die+An+Original.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="725" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHml0F2joJ9dD13pRqcjIHjcxq6IvADVEDI2xf1A4PBuVVDC8_duu0zYdbMoMrhfQaBgLqa0PT1vD-znh6-oR1nYCfGSJzp99VY4wPhJUgZHLS2DD9WYSiYPpwJOkXc0QQuOywN6XKHcg/s320/Eric+Val-Die+An+Original.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span><br /></span><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span><b><u>27 Grams</u></b><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span><span> </span>There is one question that neither science nor man truly has an answer for and that is what happens when we die. No matter who you are, what you have, or what you have done, there is only one thing that leaves this earth when we die and is unaccounted for and that is 27 grams. No matter the intellect, size, or shape of the human being, for all of us that is what is leaving. Whether you want to call it an energy, soul, spark of life, no one really knows what it is and it cannot be seen by the human eye. Yet most religions tend to have a theory on where it goes but no one has ever been back to tell the story. Religion has created, over the years, their concept of heaven and hell. Giving us fear and guilt over what we do in this life and having to follow strict guidelines in order to attain heaven. For some, there is the comfort of thinking that there is a better place to go after death and a fear of hell that keeps them on the straight and narrow. All the good you've done and being a loyal servant to your religion and god gets you on the golden streets. With that comes a sense of moral superiority and power from the ones pushing it on you and a way to turn free thinking into control. And a sense of superiority for the individual thinking that anyone else in any other religion is wrong and hell awaits if you do not follow their beliefs. Yet we can trace back the origins of this concept of heaven and hell back to when the Jewish people were in Babylon and met the tribe who practiced </span><span style="text-align: left;">Zoroastrianism</span>. Their beliefs and practices state that heaven and hell is something that lives inside your mind. A battle of good and evil daily and the way to defeat it, through good thoughts, words, and deeds. With these teachings, years of being passed down, and rewritten, and people needing an explanation for the afterlife. Priests and governments alike now had an explanation for the afterlife and a way to control the people through fear and condemnation. Now granted there are certain things that we can take from all religions and use them to be better people. But using anything to put fear into people and use it as a controlling mechanism, same as government, media, and most major corporations do is a strict violation of our free will. Yet the patterns continue. Whether it be with religion, government, or media they all more times than not, are controlling and fear-based to keep us in line, wanting comfort and stability and not thinking for ourselves. Not to mention the division both government and religion cause among us. Instead of everyone finding some common ground, respect, humanity, common sense, and wisdom, we stay divided and at odds. All this in the search of where does the 27 grams go when we die. </p>Eric Valhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11490928428738501417noreply@blogger.com0Pennsylvania, USA41.2033216 -77.194524712.893087763821157 -112.3507747 69.513555436178848 -42.0382747tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540886068719707634.post-27502416723353394602020-12-20T18:21:00.003-08:002020-12-20T18:22:23.372-08:00Against The Wall<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHml0F2joJ9dD13pRqcjIHjcxq6IvADVEDI2xf1A4PBuVVDC8_duu0zYdbMoMrhfQaBgLqa0PT1vD-znh6-oR1nYCfGSJzp99VY4wPhJUgZHLS2DD9WYSiYPpwJOkXc0QQuOywN6XKHcg/s1600/Eric+Val-Die+An+Original.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="725" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHml0F2joJ9dD13pRqcjIHjcxq6IvADVEDI2xf1A4PBuVVDC8_duu0zYdbMoMrhfQaBgLqa0PT1vD-znh6-oR1nYCfGSJzp99VY4wPhJUgZHLS2DD9WYSiYPpwJOkXc0QQuOywN6XKHcg/s320/Eric+Val-Die+An+Original.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><u><b>Against The Wall</b></u></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span> It's amazing what you can accomplish when your back is against the wall and you have no choice but to accomplish the goals and tasks set in front of you. When the money is low ad the bills are stacking up or a deadline that was set for you is fastly approaching. You'll find ways and possibilities you would never under normal circumstances to accomplish a goal or too just plain survive another day. These times allow our minds to become very creative and fear goes out the window, in all because there is no other option but to make it and survive. When you're out of your comfort zone and money and time are at odds against you. The human mind does what it does best, finds a way to survive and keep going. There is another half to this battle though and that is knowing what your goals are, setting them, and following through with them. Setting the fear and doubt aside and going after it with daily persistence and never giving up. There are days where it seems the whole world is against you and thinking no one wants to see you succeed. In reality, it is a battle against your own mind and the solution is just getting out of your own way. Your mind is designed to protect you from anything that is uncomfortable and or appears to be dangerous. So essentially, self-doubt is your mind trying to keep you safe and in your comfort zone. It's a hard fight, but one that is worth the struggle to overcome and make something of yourself, bettering yourself. Go after everything knowing that success and failure play hand in hand and both will have their lessons to offer. It will all help you grow and learn, gain wisdom and knowledge. The trick is not to forget the lessons these trials have taught you, if you do your bound to make the same mistakes again. On your death bed, regret will be the worst pain. </span><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span>-Eric Val</span></div><p></p>Eric Valhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11490928428738501417noreply@blogger.com0Pennsylvania, USA41.2033216 -77.1945247-13.281295056089128 -147.5070247 90 -6.8820247000000023tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540886068719707634.post-41304506048362509152020-12-06T17:36:00.003-08:002020-12-06T18:18:45.938-08:00The Art Of Balance<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHml0F2joJ9dD13pRqcjIHjcxq6IvADVEDI2xf1A4PBuVVDC8_duu0zYdbMoMrhfQaBgLqa0PT1vD-znh6-oR1nYCfGSJzp99VY4wPhJUgZHLS2DD9WYSiYPpwJOkXc0QQuOywN6XKHcg/s1600/Eric+Val-Die+An+Original.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="725" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHml0F2joJ9dD13pRqcjIHjcxq6IvADVEDI2xf1A4PBuVVDC8_duu0zYdbMoMrhfQaBgLqa0PT1vD-znh6-oR1nYCfGSJzp99VY4wPhJUgZHLS2DD9WYSiYPpwJOkXc0QQuOywN6XKHcg/s320/Eric+Val-Die+An+Original.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"> <u><b>The Art Of Balance</b></u></div><p></p><p>There is an art of balance in this life and many times can be hard to find. Having one soul passion and goal may sometimes just not be enough. When just focused on just one goal and task it can be become stagnate, then it is right back to square one. There are many avenues to go down that will provide a release from the anger, depression, pain, confusion that we all feel at one point or another. Whether it be art, music, fighting, writing, adrenaline junkie. It's all a way to relieve the pain for a minute, get peace for a moment, and finding perspective through the task. But in reality, all that we do to overcome these feelings only lasts so long. It always comes back around. A never-ending battle, that you yourself will have to accept and deal with your entire life. But once you understand it, know that it is a part of you and can be controlled by you and only you. Then use it as fuel to be creative and channel it all into something beautiful or even better, something that can inspire others and help them. Then your pain has meaning. We all think at one point or another that we are alone in this life. This is only happening to me, no one else understands, there is no connection. Well, I would like to venture a guess that is a wrong statement. We all have our tragedies and pain and on different levels. But there is always someone who is going through something similar or who has it worse. In reality, it's all on you to fix it, no one else can do it for you. The people around you can advise you, help you where they can but at the end of the day it's your fight, and getting up is up to you. So how will you find your balance in this life? What avenues will you try, fail and succeed from to not only relieve the and anger and pain but find clarity, a moment of peace, perspective, and above all a connection and maybe some inspiration to the people around you?</p><p><br /></p><p>-Eric Val</p>Eric Valhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11490928428738501417noreply@blogger.com0Pennsylvania, USA41.2033216 -77.194524715.044381768452514 -112.3507747 67.3622614315475 -42.0382747tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540886068719707634.post-17730851388277283132020-12-06T17:05:00.002-08:002020-12-06T18:21:21.545-08:00Eric Val-Your Demise<iframe width="480" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/lbzGiDGiAYo" frameborder="0"></iframe>Eric Valhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11490928428738501417noreply@blogger.com0Pennsylvania, USA41.2033216 -77.1945247-35.3835050854558 142.1804753 90 63.4304753tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540886068719707634.post-278912842211506732020-12-06T17:04:00.002-08:002020-12-06T18:22:49.300-08:00Saying Goodbye by Eric Val<iframe width="480" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/g0SIIKLdsJA" frameborder="0"></iframe>Eric Valhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11490928428738501417noreply@blogger.com0Pennsylvania, USA41.2033216 -77.194524712.893087763821157 -112.3507747 69.513555436178848 -42.0382747tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540886068719707634.post-23194917597311453262020-12-06T17:03:00.002-08:002020-12-06T18:24:07.115-08:00Eric Val-Granddad's Lessons (Lyric Video Official)<iframe width="480" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0Tbtw0Hm7nw" frameborder="0"></iframe>Eric Valhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11490928428738501417noreply@blogger.com0Pennsylvania, USA41.2033216 -77.194524712.893087763821157 -112.3507747 69.513555436178848 -42.0382747tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540886068719707634.post-39189127307586025792020-12-06T17:02:00.002-08:002020-12-06T18:25:28.533-08:00Eric Val-Slow Decline<iframe style="background-image:url(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/VcZlUjNZ3eU/hqdefault.jpg)" width="480" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VcZlUjNZ3eU" frameborder="0"></iframe>Eric Valhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11490928428738501417noreply@blogger.com0Pennsylvania, USA41.2033216 -77.194524712.893087763821157 -112.3507747 69.513555436178848 -42.0382747tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540886068719707634.post-84097633371653337982020-06-14T17:01:00.002-07:002020-12-06T18:27:36.655-08:00Live On The Couch-Episode 8<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/y3aKKINlhI0" width="480"></iframe>Eric Valhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11490928428738501417noreply@blogger.com0Pennsylvania, USA41.2033216 -77.194524712.893087763821157 -112.3507747 69.513555436178848 -42.0382747tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540886068719707634.post-69952272298991998262020-02-18T12:00:00.000-08:002020-02-18T12:00:00.784-08:00Talent Attained <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>Talent Attained</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I discovered that myself and others are guilty, at one time or another, of being jealous of people with natural talent. A talent that they were born with and discovered that they had a natural ability of doing a task without much effort or trial and error to accomplish. While everyone looks at them with a bit of jealousy, I see the other side of the coin. Most of the time people tend to take something like this for granted and let it go to the way side. The reason being is that they did not have to earn it, it was just a gift. And how do humans act with a gift? Typically it gets used, abused and tossed to the side. There was no time, money, trial and error, failure and success attached to it. Therefore, there is no appreciation to have earned it. There is a lot to be said about earning and striving for something, you will at the very least, respect it and have less of a chance to take it for granted. In all reality our money and time our among the most valuable things we have. And when we use them to attain something rather then have something given to us, we appreciate it more. There is a reward there and a deeper connection to what we have to strive for. So if you have a natural ability or talent to do something, learn to respect it and appreciate it and try not to take for granted. For the ones on the other side of the spectrum, leave the jealousy at the door and go earn it. You'll have a deeper respect for yourself and a appreciation for what you have earned.<br />

<b>Inspiration</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When a moment of inspiration hits you, do not waste it. Do not wait for a more convenient time to try and use them to create, do not think they will stick around to wait on you because in all reality, they won't. These moments are fleeting and are few and far between compared to the entirety of life. They come when you least expect it and more then likely when you are not prepared for it. Seize them, no matter what you are doing and use them to every advantage you can. Write it down, record it, repeat it a hundred times, whatever you have to do to retain them and keep them with you. They are a gift from your mind, the universe, god or whatever mindset or belief you want to pin it on. And what you do with it and how you use it, is truly on you. Do not take it for granted, do not cast it aside and assume it will come along again at a more convenient time, it won't. Seize the moment of inspiration and make the most of it. I truly believe that myself or anyone else living and breathing can't truly explain inspiration or what, why or when it comes into existence. You just have to except it and do all you can with it while the moment lasts. The thing is, it never lasts as long as anyone would like it too. It typically comes and goes within the matter of moments and then is lost into the ether. Then, if not taken full advantage of, you are left with regret and always wondering what would have become. It is truly a beautiful thing and I believe we all have these moments. Question is whether we recognize them and make the most of them or just let them slip away.<br />

<b>Helping Others</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Helping people can sometimes be a pointless venture. Before you jump to conclusions, hear me out. Though it is a great and noble thing to give and something we should all aspire to do and not take for granted, nor neglect to do but it all boils down to this. You can't help someone who doesn't want to help themselves, it's that simple. Think of it this way, you could do everything in the world for someone. Give them advice, money, a place to sleep, food, clothes, the list goes on and yeah something that we should all aspire to do for each other when someone needs it. But at the end of the day though, people need to learn to help themselves and take lessons from their past, present and future. Learn to recognize the repeating, self-destructive patterns they are in, learn from it and change it. Or to put it simply, self evaluation, acceptance, learning and growth. But there is the problem, most people are in denial of what they are doing wrong, can't come to terms with their past, are in denial of their own faults and do not want to except change. No matter how obvious it all may be. A part of this may be that they fear change or their pride is getting in the way. In any sense, you can give a person all the advice in the world, all the motivation, all the love and support but if they do not want to do for themselves, then it's a pointless venture. It's all on the individual in a world filled with knowledge, opportunity and caring people. We all have our faults, strengths and weakness's, how we deal with them and learn from our past them that will determine our future.<br />

<b>Bored? How The Hell?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I hear this a lot and I don't understand it, "I'm bored and I have nothing to do." I have no concept of how anyone could be bored in this day and age. There is a world of entertainment and knowledge to be had, right at your fingertips. Let alone what other physical things you could be doing, (Go ahead, get your mind in the gutter for a second, it's fun). Netflix alone has more documentaries then most could watch in a lifetime, let alone everything else that could entertain you on their for decades. I do get one thing though, that people do get bored with routine and become stagnate. The good new is that it's an easy thing to fix, simply try something new. I would say the best way to overcome boredom, the same old routine or feeling uninspired is to first get a thirst for knowledge, it will definitely make your life more interesting and fulfilling. Not only that, but it will make it better by gaining useful knowledge to not only understand the world around you but to understand yourself and what you might be looking for in life. Another quick cure to this boredom and stagnation is to venture out and take a look at the world for a minute and keep your cell phone in your pocket for a few minutes (your not that important, none of us are). The outside world is a beautiful place, regardless of what you see on the news every night and by the way, turn off the news while your at it, it's poison. People are not as bad as what the media makes them out to be but hey fear sells and everyone is buying so why not? Anyway, take the time to explore the world or your home state for that matter. If your money is low and you can't get out, see the museums in your home town or discover it from your digital device. Each place in this world has it's own beauty to offer. So do yourself a favor and go see it and yes take the phone out of your pocket and take a picture. I'm not that cynical for bitchin out loud. There are rivers, mountains, fields and incredible cities that are designed by some incredibly smart engineers and built by the most down to earth, the blue collar. Take the time to see all this, learn about it and appreciate it. You'll never be bored. Oh yeah, read a book once in awhile, they do help with boredom.<br />

<b>New Year, New Me, Why Wait?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Why does everyone wait until January 1st to start changing themselves for the better? To set goals, to start working out, or to make a major change? It's never made much sense to me. Why waste all that time waiting on that day? Get started the moment you feel inspired and never stop. The thing about all this is people get discouraged quickly, they expect instant results. Life never works that way, everything worth having takes time, effort, setbacks, failures and learning. With that comes great appreciation for what you have accomplished and a very low chance of taking it for granted. Think about it, when someone just gives you something you tend to not appreciate it for the simple reason that you didn't earn it. You did not put the time, effort, knowledge and or passion into achieving this, so you have no reason to appreciate it. Right? Yet we know all this and still give up so easy on what we set out to do once it gets too hard or failure presents itself. It all boils down to you and what you are prepared to go through to achieve what you want and have a true appreciation for it in the end.<br />
