IJS

Again I sit still and from out of the bluest skies someone whom I know mentions this to me again.
The Idea has crossed my mind several times and even this time it leaves me wondering.

It's funny how others see you in a certain light even though you may see yourself in another. The thing about it is this, even if you never see it in yourself it certainly doesn't mean that it's not your DESTINY.

Many times I've been called an instructor or was told that I should be a teacher of some sort yet I've never taken it to heart. I'm wondering today........

Being at peace with yourself will bring vision as well as realization to your present situation. Even those things that appear to be a great distance away can become nearer than you think once you listen to your inner self appeal to you and remove the clouded or impaired roadway to the next level of self.

Find your moments of inner peace with prayer, meditation or which ever essential tools you prefer. I don't know of anyone of those are greater than the other however this is the best voyage towards inner peace one can adhere to.

Wishing you all the best of peace on your journey......

Evening Post

Since I was a young boy growing up in the East New York section of Brooklyn I can always remember how I would think of our ancestors. There was always this need or yearning feeling to hear them talk or speak to me. I wondered what they would say and how they would have taught me to deal with life issues. The thought of their tones and accents ringing so far deep in my spirit that I could feel exactly what they meant by each syllable they spoke.

That mystery still lives on today.

What saddens me is the thought of embarrassment and disgust they would feel if they were alive today. What would they say to the many ills that we support almost religiously just to fit with what society says is acceptable.  Again the thought alone is horrifyingly distasteful and beyond acceptability........

One of the greatest titles one could tattoo or brand on any man's life-line would be FATHER.
Father - hood with all of its challenges and obstacles certainly tops the iceberg, if you may.

Today I'm watching the movie Mandela with my family. Together we're sitting and watching how one race of people oppress another race of people because of the shade of their skin. The ignorance that plagued those persons back then have also remained embedded in the hearts of many of those with lighter complexions today. So as the questions ring out, the ears remain at full attention looking for answers.  REAL ANSWERS

As a father it is my obligation to make the truth known to them and give them the necessary tools needed to do better and be better than those before us. I refuse to water down the truth because that would be the lie that condemns them to death. A spiritual death. One that could sentence them to a life of darkness because the truth would be hidden...... I cannot subject my babies to such.

Let today be a starting point for you and your family. Share time with things that have validity rather than the obvious so called entertainment foolishness deemed fit by that status quo. The best judgement is made by those whom take time to reflect on what's being asked, just as well as the answers that should follow. It's a must that we create the future and create those that are HEAD STRONG and properly fueled with what we need to help our people and help all of humanity.

HUMANITY NEEDS HELP

UNTITLED

Another day another shot.......

As they say 'there is power in numbers' so who am I to disagree. I can whole heartedly go along with this statement and even sings it's lullaby from the core of my diaphragm but at the end of the day I have to realize there are quite a number of challenges that I have to go at alone.

My journey today consists of me seeking that inner peace and the preservation of self (meaning mind, body and spirit). Keeping in mind that this is one of the many solo road maps to the beginning of ME.

Today's message:

Channel all energies positive and negative in a direction that will become a road map for success.  Remember that you control your destiny by your decision making and the ability to make all things relevant to the betterment of your life's path.  You are in control of your actions and your thoughts. Think of your route, think of your success. Remember that there are positives and learning points in each and every event that you experience. It's up to you to deal with them as such.

Challenge yourself to be a better you today..........

Selfishness

Interestingly enough I used to struggle with this topic. Internally. Why? Well because most people present the word selfishness in a negative manner or its usually taken as such.
Here's the funny thing about it, if you take for example anyone whom you have looked up to or attached any level of admiration to (if that person is successful in some form or fashion) trust and believe the word selfish had to find a way it trickle down their journey.

Self reflection allows acceptance of responsibility. Responsibility of all the many things that happen in accordance to one's plan and those things that cause disruption and interference within your plan.

Everyday should be a challenge to/for yourself to become better at what you do in whatever capacity that appears fit for your lifestyle.

Become involved with self. Become selfish in the aspect of self improvement and self elevation.

SELFISHNESS isn't a a bad thing when it doesn't have a negative affect on good vibes; righteousness; and those things that are in order with divine intervention.

OBSERVATION

A wise person told me that the best religion to follow is to treat others as you would have or expect them to treat you.

I had no idea how much this statement weighed until I actually sat down and thought about it. And then there were two words that came to mind:

Implementation and humbleness.

Actually there were several other words that sprung up and grouped together like a collage besides the pair however they couldn't supercede them.

The marriage or union between these two words cannot be denied and I realized that they are the essential components needed in order to accept the proposed statement. Going forward I knew I would need to adopt  them and utilize them both in order to bring this practice into fruition.

Accept the task laid before you today and all of life's challenges as merely learning or training lessons; for these obstacles courses are only set to enlighten you and teach you about your path. As it is writing there is a cause and effect theory so you have to choose your own path with your own decisions keeping in mind that what you use and how you choose to use it to motivate your forward motion WILL impact your next move. 

With that being said as you received you paths remember the decisions you make should be solid and thought through without any emotional connection. There are no good choices made when your emotions supercede rationale.  Learn from your choices in your decision making process. This will present a better look at the obstacle course we call life.

I always wonder how the many journeys we travel mold our paths. Seems like all the to's and fro's of life present some constants while at the same time they introduce many many uncertainties leaving us to answer questions and tackle obstacles both welcomed and unwanted.

So what are we left to believe or hold our high hopes on?

May your struggles and burdens only last small moments in your lifetime...............
Either way smile through the turmoil. It makes it easier to stomach when the going gets too tough......

Self Hatres

I'm not sure if it hurts more than it angers me. For the life in me I can't understand how someone can hate who they are.  I can understand how certain abuse (depending on the severity) can redirect someone's self esteem and the way that they vision themselves but it's very confusing to understand how one black person can address another black person as an ape baby.

Lack of education is the absolute master key to the destruction of any group of people and the so called Negro or African American is a prime example of such.

Even as I sympathize with those that are lost in the self degradation mindsets I cannot allow the "babooning" in my presence.

The Mirror doesn't lie and at the end of the day you can't lie to your reflection.

Love thyself

The Opening...............

Interestingly enough, as we get older (wiser, as we should) the avenues of life present themselves very differently; and rightfully so. I guess it's the perception that matters most but I wonder sometimes if it's the perception of others that hold more weight to the individual as opposed to the idea of self-perception. With that being said how many times have we become redirected by the opinion of someone else when we've repetitively convinced ourselves that "this is it"? Today there should be no sheltering of emotions of feelings; the bottom-line is this Happiness resides in self. Truth prevails of falsehood and if the truth be told and you are in the land of the living; that alone should give you a reason to smile at the idea of having another chance. Note to self...... Someone didn't wake up this am and someone is in a critical situation as we speak. If neither of these apply to you I suggest you find a way to redefine what your TRUE aliments are......... reach for the divine in yourself. It lays in your spirit. Your spiritual self cannot be silenced. It is your TRUE SELF. GET TO KNOW YOU...... #SAYWORD
