Open-mindedness

Consistency. Why do we procrastinate? I for one do it because I get side tracked. Is it a conspiracy from SATAN? No… Maybe… But for sure we allow the media and all the different things around us taking us away from what we love to keep our focus on. For instance….. We watch the news right now and what are we seeing? Violence, terrorism, war and so forth. We turn off the TV or internet and we keep thinking of that. We worry. We analyze. We are distracted and then we become complacent. We do not continue. WE become inconsistent. There are so many things that keep us from what our focus is. The main thing is our fears. I have spoken about fears.

Fear is the deciding factor in our daily lives. Either we are too afraid to try or we are too afraid to say no or yes. We are too afraid to make a decision to be happy. We are too afraid we might hurt someone to give ourselves a chance. We are too afraid to stand up for ourselves. We are too afraid to have faith. Faith is a very loaded concept.

Faith is a mindset. We believe something that is not yet there and yet we know with all of our strength and courage that it is there, it will be there and there was never a doubt. Faith should be all consuming. Faith is courageous. Faith is a sign of strength. Faith takes balls. Faith is challenging.

Challenges. Wow. One leads to another. Fear, is overcome by faith, faith takes courage, and challenges are a joke when we apply the aforementioned. What a concept. The question is… What are we having Faith in? God, Some form of God, Ourselves, Ourselves as God (like).

We all have our beliefs. I have mine. All I can opinionate is that we all should have faith in the mindset that whatever it is that created and sustains us as a species in the vast universe, We are cut from the same cloth. As a parent gives life to their child, the child grows up to become just like the parent. We are created from a piece of what created us. If the universe is so powerful, hence we are likewise in that respect. There are mysterious things that happen that we only see through a telescope, but we have our universe inside of us in the micro. We are capable of producing the same energy that the macro universe creates. It has been proven that we are very powerful and yet we are too busy worrying about what is less important. We are distracted from our own truth.

If we only knew as a collective species the amount of pressure we could put on all evil we would have a very happy place to coexist. Instead we live in fear, and that is the distraction that keeps us unhappy. Unhappiness breads a chain of negativity. One dominoes another. It all begins with one soul. Since we are all connected all it takes is one bad disease to infect the rest. The opposite holds just as true. One positive smile is infectious. One good deed is rewarded with a pay it forward mindset. Eventually it becomes contagious. But if we allow fear to cloud our perception then any actions taken will be worthless. We can smile, be happy and blow smoke up our ass believing that we can pretend. But if we do not feel it and believe it truly we will always fail. And failure is not an option if you want to break this negative cycle.

Love. Believe it or not, is the answer. What a cliché. But it is the truth. LOVE! Is what holds us together. If there wasn’t a small amount of love in this world left it would be gone. After you read this (all 3 of you) go love someone. Someone you wouldn’t expect to express it too. Make it meaningful and sincere. A small gesture is huge in someones perception of you not loving them. If you do not understand everything I have written then you are not ready. Your loss. I still Love you.

Happiness is Overrated. That is what I have been told recently. I have been told that what I have just started is a waste of time. That it is corny and it is out of my character. I have been told that the YouTube videos I have recorded are creepy and no one will watch. All of that might be true in their perspective, but from my perspective I don’t give a flying you know what they think. I know that I am doing something that will connect with one or two people that are too shy to ask for help. They internalize life in a very different way that is not healthy and they are trapped.

I am not a professional and I never claimed to be. I never claimed to have the answers to your problems. All I have is my heart and soul to express through the mediums I choose. There are so many people to reach that need to be loved. I have taken it upon myself to make myself available to whoever NEEDS to listen. If all I am is a stepping stone to opening up their eyes to something much more helpful then I have done my work. If I can encourage some of you that read this to help others as well then I will be proud to have sacrificed my time and money for this cause.

Depression and sadness is so common among us. We are all hurting souls. We all need a voice in our ear of encouragement. If I am beating a dead horse to all of you about this having a choice to be happy then let it be so. Sometimes I doubt myself and my efforts, the little voices get in my head and they are lies. I start to believe that I am not good enough. I have struggled in the past with severe insecurity which caused me to look for validation through other ways in my life. Ways that were not so healthy for my soul and the people that I love.

We all suffer when a loved one is afflicted with a disease or depression. We all are connected to one another on so many levels. We have to be aware of who we hurt when we are selfish and only think of ourselves.If you are reading this and I have hurt you in some way….I know what I did, I am truly sorry for my selfishness. All I can tell you is I am getting better and working on me everyday. I am loving everyone that I am capable of loving, learning how to release all hurt, guilt and regret to move forward. In order to be there for other people we have to let go of the self deprecation. We have to cleanse our souls on a daily basis. We have to stop blaming others for our hurts and failures. We have to stop thinking of our challenges as failures and count on the lesson that we learned to be there for the next challenge in life.

I love to ramble when I write. I love to get it all out. I love to not plan my thoughts. I am learning. I am learning to transition this way of thinking to my videos. I am so in love with all of my friends, relatives, children, grandchildren that I owe them my life for always being there. I am still alive today because I have not given up on them. I have not made the decision to leave this hurting world. I will be here for all of you because I love you. It is easier to be miserable, give up, make excuses, run away, walk out, turn your back, cry in shame, than to stand firm in your convictions, accept yourself for who you are, make a bold brave step forward and love unconditionally. We all deserve that level of love and we all deserve to experience giving that love.

Where do we go from here? Forward. Love!

Sometimes we find ourselves borderline with death and life. Our minds are always exploring the avenue of depression and misery. We have voices from the past trying to convince us that lies are the truth. That the truth is relevant as a choice. We argue with those thoughts and days weeks months go by and we just get by. We waste time worrying about all the aspects of our sadness that we lose precious time enjoying our loved ones around us.

For those that are alone you waste time feeling sorry and do not ever move on to create a new life for yourself. Free of attachments. Travel and move anywhere to meet new people. There are so many situations we can talk about where there could be a good excuse to be miserable. If we are alive then there is hope to create something special.

I recently put myself in a situation where it is out of my comfort zone. It is scary for anyone that does not have the courage to face something new and is not able to create with confidence. It takes courage for someone to change in stride. I am not saying that we should stop what we are doing and do what we love and are passionate about. That would be absurd. We should never want to re-think our lives to be happier if we are already comfortable. Never!!! We need security. We need low risk situations where we can just settle and be safe. Happiness is relevant isn’t it? It isn’t really happiness it is craziness to want to laugh all the time going to and from work. Laugh when you collect that check from something that you enjoy doing while everyone is working overtime and barely making ends meet.

Do not do that. Do not enjoy life. I beg you. Settle for the people over you that do not appreciate how amazing you are. Do not get out of your comfort zone and make yourself uncomfortable sacrificing that comfort for the payoff of making a living at something you love to do. Do not put the hard work in for a passion where you work for 10-12 hours a day in something that is amazing and fulfilling to you. NO! That would be a bad idea. That is so CRAZY that you cannot even think of it you selfish person you.

You are a hypocrite! Can’t we all just get a long at work and be happy? I made some mistakes in my career and my life where I let my emotions get the best of me, I let my weaknesses get the best of me, I let my temper get the best of me, I let my principles get me in trouble and I did not stick with my principles at times. I got away from going to a place where other people rejoice in life and pray together earnestly and honestly in a non-judgmental way. Don’t look at me with those eyes like you are innocent you hypocrite! I love you! I will always love you even though you think of nothing but hate towards me. I will always stretch out my hands in hopes that you will accept my gift of love and kindness, friendship and goodwill. Instead look at me with those righteous eyes. How Dare You?! I answer in love. I love you. Period.

This is a rant. This is how the mind works when you are in the process of meditating. This is how we can go back and forth from emotion to thought and never get anywhere. We have to not listen to the lies. We have to block out the voices. The voices can be so damaging. The voices of the past and our fears all balled up into one. Relax. Love and be happy.
