What's going on blog world? I had a quite interesting dream last night and it really inspired me to get up, at 9 in the morning to write. So you know this one will be good lol. The dream consisted of me going back to my old church and delivering a speech. I don't remember the particulars of the speech but I just really remember the effect that it had on the people. The church was packed with old friends and new friends and it was just good to see everyone looking as if a load had been lightened from their shoulders with the words I spoke. That's all I really want to do with this blog, help people have an easier road in life even if it's just a small change. I'm an idealist in the sense that I believe that simple words and actions can have major impact and today, I plan on passing on some of the simple actions that I incorporate into my life and see making a major change in my life.
1. Try to pray every morning and every evening. I believe strongly in the power of God/prayer/faith and thus I suggest it to all of those around me. For those that don't believe in God, of course I am impartial to my belief and therefore refer you to it but at the same I respect that. I just hope that you do realize that there is a higher power that has control over your life and I just hope that your life leads you to the same conclusions that I've reached about God/prayer/faith and that you use them to enhance your life.
2. Take time to pat yourself on the back. At times we all struggle with making the next major move in our life because we lack the finances to do it, we lack the faith to do it, or we lack the desire to do such. This is when it's beneficial to simply take a moment, look back at where you are now in life and where you once were. I guarantee that you will see a change and incidentally you should use the change that has already been manifested in your life to motivate your future. Positive change is not like lightning. It can strike twice as long as you are willing to fuel it.
3. Eliminate repressive forces in your life. This is a problem that I see a lot with people and myself. This can be addressed in a simple manner of STOP ANSWERING CALLS/TEXTS FROM PEOPLE YOU KNOW FRUSTRATE YOU. Just like there is a reply button and an answer button on cell phones, there is a decline button and an exit/cancel button in the text message section. Those that simply call people for favors, for gossip, for drama, for self empowerment at the cost of depreciation of others are what are scientifically defined as leeches. Stop being host sites for drama if you truly want to be, want to be succesful.
4. Set a goal for yourself. There is a truly repressive ideology that I hear floating around that says, 'If you never set any goals, then you will never be disappointed.' On the surface level, I suppose that this is correct because if you never try to do something, then you can't fail at that something. This does not mean however, that you will never fail in life or be disappointed because no matter what, cconflicts, trials, and issues will constantly arise in our lives and must be addressed. It is a great feeling to know that you've set a goal and accomplished it. Also, let's say it's some chance that you don't succeed...who is to say that you were meant to have that goal. Your work on that goal can be used towards achieving another, perhaps greater goal. Let's all try to place our dreams in the sky and begin working on our ladders toward the sky. We're all closer to our dreams then we can see.
5. Assume responsibility. Now while I'm an idealist, I am still very realistic at the same time. There are forces in our lives that we have no control over, racism is still very well alive, as well as sexism and classism. Even with all of these repressive ideologies surrounding in our lives, you can't allow these to define what you will achieve in this world. You must take responsibility in the sense that you will not allow yourself to remain stagnant in this world. You must constantly work towards acheiving something greater for yourself, your family or your lineage and just know that along the way the road will be bumpy. Your responsibility is not to try to smooth the bumps out of the road. Your responsibility lies in your ability to manuever around the bumps and define a less bumpy road for the next person. There is no greater feeling than to know that something you have done has helped change someone else's life for the better because the domino effect of that is immeasurable. Hopefully, I began some sort of domino effect with this note blog and as always...
