Division

 


Division

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?

Void To Fill


Void To Fill

If you're not content and happy being alone, no one else will fill that void for you. I see it all the time in life and on social media, both men and women. When I find the right man I will be happy, when I find the right woman, I'll be happy. Then, a few months later, the same complaints and problems begin to show and the pattern continues. Too many people tend to think that a significant other in their life, and the love it's suppose to generate will somehow magically fill this hole inside them and everything will be perfect. As far as I can seen, I don't think it works that way. The same goes for material things in this life we all struggle and strive for with every waking moment. No amount of money, cars, house, bigger house, cars or faster cars will ever fulfill your need for peace and fulfillment.
 I know it probably sounds cliche, but your happiness and peace of mind truly lie within you. What's within you is a much harder thing to face, and be truly honest with yourself while doing so. We all have a past, we are all damaged to a certain degree, and recognizing those parts inside us and dealing with them properly is a whole other battle. Most people just deny that there is anything wrong with them, it's always someone else's fault. This kind of mindset pattern either destructive or not, tend to continue. Repeating mistakes especially when it comes to relationships, will make your life miserable. The thing is, we tend to attract similiar personalities or what we think we deserve. If you keep dating the same type of person and the results are the same, then you might want to take notice to the characteristics your attracted to and settling for. If you keep settling for people who take advantage of you or worse. You might want to take a look inside and see your self worth and what causes you to keep finding these same characteristics. Know yourself, know your path, set your goals, know your worth, and surround yourself with the right people. Whether it be friends, family, wife, or co-workers, you have to have the right people around you. Chose people who respect you and are there for you. Do not chose people who back stab you and take advantage of you.

Words and Drive


Words and Drive

There were many people through the course of my life that in one way or another told me that I would be nothing but a ditch digger in this life. I've been picked on and looked down on for being myself and being different. I was bullied from time to time, but I would always stand my ground win or lose. Looking back at all this, I'm glad it happened. It made me stronger and more determined to make something of myself. It somewhat gives you an "I'll show you" attitude and gives you the determination to go down your path fearlessly. For me, it caused me to look deep inside and figure out who I was, what I wanted to be and what made me happy. It also inspired me to be more strong willed and put the blinders on, shut off all the negativity around me, and stay focused on my goals. Actions speak louder than words, so I used their negativity to drive me and inspire me. In the famous words of Les Brown's teacher "Someone's opinion of you does not have to be your reality" a very wise statement. Everyone is going to have their own opinion of you. People are going to try and put you down because you are different, and possibly be jealous, thinking you'll be more successful then they will. Be yourself and stand up for yourself. Figure out who you are, what you want, and go down your path fearlessly. Use all the pain, suffering, happiness, wisdom and knowledge to inspire you and fuel your fire.
