” Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest ‘

Matthew 11:28

Within this fast paced society of today, that is driven by greed and self righteousness, we do become very weary daily, how do you rest or re-charge your body? For some maybe load up on coffee for plenty of caffeine, maybe a mid day power nap? Or maybe even a weekend away? But these things are simply a temporary fix that passes quickly and the weariness returns, as the faith in Jesus Christ is what gives us the true rest deep within our souls, we just need to come to him, so we than can get the true rest our body needs.

With our daily routines comes frustration and chaos within the world around us as well, When we don’t get what we want, we become frustrated, when our jobs push us to our brink, we then become very weary which brings a whole host of chaos to our lives, when we become so tired from the stress, the chaos and the work from the push, we then will enter into burnout and if we do not handle the burnout correctly, we then will become bitter, have a wide variety of health problems, which then brings us much pain and hurt. Within the fast paced society we forget to truly heal ourselves in mind, body and soul, because we get so caught up in the chaos and our minds get lost within the clouds of our judgments, that we forget to take the time for ourselves, to regain the faith in ourselves and Jesus Christ. When we heal properly and when we get the proper rest we need, then not only can we walk freely of our paths on this journey of life, but we can also walk together with each other, without bringing hatred, chaos or ugliness to all that is around us.

We all will walk our own paths but the journey is the same, throughout this journey there will be many events that will tesgt us, there will be many who may cross our paths that will bring us much pain and hurt, as well as many that will come to us to help us when we need help the most, the problem then becomes we ourselves and when we do not be truthful to ourselves, how then can we be truthful with each other? The bigger picture of this is, not being truthful with ourselves, we then can never be truthful with Jesus Christ, which then becomes the number one reason why, we stop going within the house of God, to not just pray, but to hide deep within ourselves and not acknowledge of who we truly are. When we all come together in unity while being truthful of ourselves, with the faith of ourselves and Jesus Christ, then the love within our hearts will shine at it’s brightest, as all the hatred and ugliness disappears from all around us.

Rest is key for us all and not just resting from the work we put in from our jobs, but the rest that will help us heal from all our troubles, the rest that gives us spiritual healing deep within our soul. Getting out deep within Mother Nature and within her peace and serenity, will help us get the true rest we need, so we can heal within our mind, body and soul, from all that troubles us, so we than can move forward better and stronger. Some may want to vacation in an exotic place, with many others around and become stressed as they try to fit in everything in a short period of time, but thats not true rest, as it does nothing but add to the already tension within us. Step outside, step out deep within the woods of nature, listen to the peace and the sounds of nature, the birds singing their songs, the wind passing through the leaves of the tree, the water slapping against the shoreline, even a woodpecker pecking away at the tree. When you get out within Mother Nature and totally relax, you can feel the stress melt away from your body, kind of like a heavy weight being lifted off of your shoulders, spend a week out there and now you will recieve the proper healing within your mind, body and soul, plus you will also will trust yourself and while this takes place, learn to trust in Jesus Christ once again, as he led you to this special place, so you can truly heal as he wants you to. This is the biggest problem in this fast paced society, we don’t trust as we once did for whatever reason? We then hide deep within ourselves as we think we are protecting ourselves from any or further harm, but as the clouds then over come our judgments, we lose sight of who we truly are as we keep the foot on the gas and speed up further the pace throughout this journey, what do not realize is that while we bury deeper of who we truly are, our trust of each other gets buried as well. So as we move forward throughout this journey, we then hurt deeply each other and never show any love or empathy of each other. All this is on us the people of this society and all this can change if only we the people change our ways moving forward, as we walk our paths through this journey of life.

” Rest for the weary isn’t just falling asleep, it’s the healing of the mind, body and soul”

” The power of mother nature can change everything within it, just simply trust in her and the healing will begin”

The Body and Blood of Jesus Christ

” I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever, and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the World”.

JN 6:51

 

In this picture, some may see the roots of an old tree trunk, but get in closer, really closer, look deeply, now what do you see? That’s right, the crown of thorns that Jesus wore before he died for each one of us through this journey of life. We all have eyes to see everything around us, but even as we all look and see the same things, it’s the perception of what we see that makes what we are looking at so very different from each other. perceive is the word of the day and with all the ugliness within this society, truly shows that we all, with our perceptions, have become isolated from each other, nobody is one the same page of this journey, we all think we are better than one another, which leads us all on a path of destruction, but no one wants to admit to their faults, let alone that what they perceive just maybe a warped way of looking at whatever you may be looking at. There is no wrong way to perceive something, the wrong part comes from the way you may look at something or the way you have been shown or taught to look at whatever you may be looking at.

Jesus Christ the only son of our Father in Heaven, came and walked this journey here with us, he taught us many things, he showed us that when we truly feel his love within our hearts and share that love with each other, there is nothing, not even the ugliness around us today, that will get in our way from the true happiness of this journey. Through our perceptions and through how each of us looks at everything, it will help us better understand all this ugliness, but to truly end the ugliness, we all need to unite together as Jesus would want us to and not turn our backs on one another.

We all are our own worst enemies as we walk this journey of life, we become disconnected from each other, through the world of social media we have lost the true feeling of real interaction, we all hide behind our technology devices, then try to move forward as if we are better then each other when things go wrong we will think nothing to point the finger, while we never accept responsibility of our own actions, accountability is the key, without it, we may always perceive everything in a warped way, which will keep us all distracted and divided as a society.

We of this society have wandered away from Jesus Christ and because of that our hearts have become cold, we have buried the warmth of the love of Jesus, so because of that, not just our perceptions have become tainted, it has turned us all away from one another, instead of uniting with each other, so we can fight like one, there is strength in numbers and when we unite together against this ugliness, then the ugliness has no chance, so in the name of Jesus Christ, may we all pull together, to end all the hate and ugliness, so we then can move forward along our paths of this journey through life, in the peace and happiness as Jesus showed us along his journey here with us.

 

” The body and blood of Jesus Christ is within us all, the time we truly feel his love together”

 

” Perception is how we perceive what we look at, so we can see farther into the future”

 

” When we glance back in the past and fix the error of our ways we then can walk our paths better and stronger”

 

 

 

 

Learn History to be better moving forward

Our memories throughout the journey we walk, plus learning the history of others before us that also walked this journey before us, this is how we grow to move forward better and stronger with each step throughout this journey of life. It is pretty cool knowing those who walked before us and what they did, to make their journey better for themselves. When we look into our history and look deeply into the other societies before us, we can learn of what works, versus what does not work, but when we try to erase History or even worse do not teach history within our schools, now you can very easily repeat history and take huge steps backward instead of moving forward.

These Native Tribes back in Ancient times in the area of Mount Kineo did not have any technology like we of today, they had no telephones but yet they communicated far better than we do today. These people didn’t procrastinate and whatever they found they turned it into something useful to make their lives better. They learned how to hunt so they can eat, they learned how to barter as there were no monies back then, they were survivors and learned how to survive and were not lazy at anything they did. Now unlike those of us within this society with all the technology and gadgets we have, we have become lazy and expect things to come to us, instead of actually getting out and working hard, so we then can move forward better and stronger. We in this society have become disconnected from each other even with all the connections we have, we hide behind all our devices and have no clue as to what true social interaction is? We think that FaceBook is our modern-day interaction, I have a news flash people, time to step out of our comfort zone before there is no more comfort to enjoy.

There are so much ugliness and chaos among us today, so much that it has become hard to see any light at the end of this darkness. Those who are creating this chaos and unrest, quite simply have lost sight of what is around them, plus none of them are looking through their actions before they actually take the action. I am willing to bet that most of these individuals who are creating this ugliness have zero clues of what they are doing? They are simply a follower and will never be a trailblazer as they walk the path they are on, through this journey of life.

The unfortunate part through all this ugliness and chaos is, we of this society are becoming Victims from it, not only are we becoming trapped in our homes from a virus, but we are also becoming trapped within our homes, for the fear of becoming a true Victim from the ones creating all the ugliness and chaos. Very true that the ones with boots on the ground delivering all this ugliness are merely a puppet for an even bigger puppeteer, so with that said…….. maybe it is time we find the puppeteer so we all can escape this ugliness and get back to the true beauty within this journey of life, find the one holding the puppet strings so we then can cut these strings, showing that they can not hurt us anymore and we are done being a Victim of their ugliness. In this society, it is all about three things, the power, the greed, and the control, these three things will have you lose all sight of reality, not to mention the fact that you become a victim of denial and with denial, you then become someone for who you truly are not. Very true there is a silent majority that says not all that much but is much smarter because they let there true actions speak even louder than even themselves, so when the time is right, the silent majority will let their true actions speak and all the ugliness and chaos will leave us, bringing back the true peace, the true love and the beauty that is around us, as we then move forward along our paths of this journey through life.

 

” Open the history books again cause what you may learn will help you move forward better”

 

” Memories become the history and when we do not glance back to fix the error of our ways, then the future becomes in jeopardy”

 

” Ugliness and chaos are ingredients of evil, as love and faith will bring us good full of peace”

 

 

The flow through this journey of life

” God so loved the world that he gave his only son so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life”

Jn 3:16

 

Just as the creek flows down off the mountain, we to flow along our paths on this journey through life. The creek will encounter obstacles to overcome on its journey, so do we encounter obstacles as we walk our paths of this journey. The journeys may differ, but the concept is the same, unlike the creek we the people take so much for granted along our path, as one is the true beauty all around us, there is so much beauty, but as we become so engulfed in the ugliness and the hate, we then become someone for who we truly are not and bury deep within who we truly are, as well as our true feelings and emotions.

This journey through life for all of us will have the same beginning as well as the same ending, but what lies in between determines on the path you choose to walk, some paths will have many bumps and pitfalls that will knock you down, which then will be determined by the way you get up from the many falls, some paths may be well-groomed, which then doesn’t prepare you for the pitfalls, but we still have to work hard along our paths in order to make this journey well walked.

The birds singing their many beautiful songs, the vegetation so alive and vibrant, feeling the true heartbeat of this planet Earth, some of the most beautiful things around us. Each one of us sharing our love and empathy that is within us with each other, this is the most precious thing we have, but yet as we get so engulfed with all the ugliness, we lose this as our hearts go so cold. The beauty of Mother Nature is beyond beautiful, it has the power to heal us from our troubles when the daily grind has us in its clutches, escape within Mother Nature and feel the weight of the grind simply melt from your body. When you become engulfed in your routine, doing the same thing day in and day out, escape within Mother Nature and see new things, the type of things you will never see in your daily routine. We all need to escape the grind that is life from time to time, as this is what heals us and helps us become better and stronger, as we walk our paths through this journey of life.

 

” The journey is supposed to flow like the creek down the side of the mountain”

 

” Mother Nature is more beautiful, its power can change us all moving forward throughout this journey of life”

 

” The journey up the mountain can seem like a lot of work, but it is work that soothes us from our daily struggles when we look deeply into all the beauty around us”

 

 

The Black clouds over this society

These black clouds are coming from a whole slew of issues over time, they come from we the people and the fact that instead of sharing our love within, with each other, we have become lost within the clouds of our judgments. The hate out there is learned from somewhere, from someone? This hate when we let it will control every fiber of our being, it will turn us into someone for who we truly are not, with all that is going on in this society, you can clearly see that we the people within this journey through life, are in the dire need to heal from all this hatred, so we can move forward in peace, with no ugliness getting in our way.

The year 2020 has become a year that we all so want to put an end to and fast, started with a virus that ultimately lockdown many worldwide, has all the so-called leaders getting deep within the power…… the control and the greed of us all, proving that these same leaders care nothing for who they lead and everything for their own agendas, a true leader will lead the herd to prosperity,  a true leader will never put himself above anybody and will always lead by example, to which they will never ask of others something that they wouldn’t do themselves. Through all this virus chit chat and the ones who are looked at as the experts, are they really an expert? Maybe they simply are someone that is trying to fill their pockets, or maybe they enjoy gaining power over others? It really does not matter to which, as they both will turn us into somebody we truly are not, not too mention the fact that, now trust and respect then enter the picture, without these two components, will then have us rationalize away whatever actions we take and when there is zero accountability, the issues then compound one after the other and on top of each other, until the weight of these issues then become a factor as well, as we become someone for who we truly are not.

Then there are the media,  let’s be real here, the ” fake news media”, who hide behind an amendment that they think will protect them as they then ram their agenda down our throats. They also will try to gain control over us with their drama, their twisting of the spoken word to fit their agenda, they too are deep within the power of denial like the entire Democratic party, they think we the people do not see what they are doing, but I have a news flash for all you media types, we do see you, but we the people have been the silent way too long, the time we hold all of them accountable and end all this ugliness, hatred and control before there is nothing more to end.

Now even more ugliness has come in the form of murder by an officer of the law, of a civilian and through the video out there he never resisted arrest, now justice would be these officers involved get what they deserve, but some with the coldest of hearts and full of hatred think that taking justice in their hands is the answer, here is another news flash!!! Two wrongs do not make a right better, it only compounds the issues further, to the point it brings chaos to us all. Rioting, looting, and burning everything up is not the answer, this only shows just how much, we the people have turned on each other through all this so-called, power, control, and greed that has infected us all. This is not the vision God had when he created all of Mankind, this is not what Jesus taught us when he came to us and walked his journey here with us, We the people are not truly like this, we have learned this hatred from somewhere or someone? Our hearts are filled with the love of Jesus Christ, but somewhere along our paths of this journey, our hearts have become cold, instead of the warmth of the love of Jesus, because of all the issues we have buried deeply our true feelings and emotions, leaving us that someone that not even ourselves recognize. We the people have started all this and it’s been going on for some time now, but we the people can end this if only we truly get back to who we are, get back the warmth of the love of Jesus within our hearts, get back our true feelings and emotions we have buried for way too long. We the people need to change our ways, change our actions, feel the empathy we all have within, so the black cloud over this society will pass by and disappear, as we all walk our paths through this journey of life, in the peace and happiness we all so deserve.

 

” The black cloud that hovers above will not last forever, we have to stay strong and get back to who we truly are”

 

” Love and empathy can defeat this hatred and evil, we all need the faith to give us hope moving forward”

 

” We the people started this with our actions, we the people can end this with our actions and being truly of who we are”

Now that Winter is almost fully in the rearview mirror, it is about that time to start switching gears and getting ready to get out within mother nature once again. Enjoying all the true beauty that is around you, enjoying the sweet smell of the fresh clean air, without the smog and funky smells of the city. Get the kayak ready and stretch out the camping gear, plus this season I will be attaching a go-pro to the kayak and taking some great video for my U-tube channel, maybe even attaching to my backpack for some hiking video as well, I also thought I never would, but I have also started an Instagram for another platform to show my adventures in mother nature and share some great pictures as well as videos. so now you can follow my words here, then my adventure trips on my twitter, my Facebook page at tireless freelance writing, my Instagram and let’s not forget some great video on my U-tube channel as well.

I can’t wait to get out within mother nature and leave this broken society in the rearview mirror for a while, spend a week or two within the woods full of adventure without listening to all the drama at every turn, the biggest problem within this society is, we all get so wrapped up within the unwanted print news or the tv news, that we forget there is so much beauty all around us. Then there is this thing called work, yes we all need to work to make the ends meet and take whatever adventures we take, but it is also good to step away from the daily grind, step away from the daily drama and all gossip that we try to avoid, clear our minds of all the crap so we can heal ourselves of our troubles and start fresh with a clean slate, to move forward better and stronger as we walk our paths of this journey through life.

I don’t know about you? But I am done with all this election crap, all the attacking of each other on the debate stage, I mean if you can not run for a public office on your own merits without attacking your opponent, then maybe you shouldn’t be running for any office at all, that is just my opinion. Then there are all the lies and making yourself out to be somebody you are not no wonder why this society is so broken? Now there are some who live for all this drama, the bickering, the attacking and get so consumed with all this crap, that they then forget that there is this thing called life, that you need to actually work at, so you can walk your path as smoothly as you can. Plus there are these candidates that offer free stuff as their pitch to get into office and there are some who actually buy into this pitch, who do you think will actually pay for this free stuff? You guessed it, the ones that actually work very hard and pay their taxes, so those lazy types can buy into all the free talk.

Mother Nature has a lot more to offer you than any so-called candidate, that will offer you the world and never deliver on what they offer, true mother nature can at times show her fury, but also true that she has so much beauty for us all to see as well and even better, with each trip into her back yard, you will always see something different. Then there is all the different plant life, some that you will never see in your daily grind, the so many different species of wildlife for us all to enjoy to see in their natural habitats, now as we venture within mother nature let’s not forget two major rules, 1, we are now in the home of all the wildlife, so we need to respect them as we want others to respect our homes, 2, always leave no trace behind and respect the land for future visits, not to mention so we can always venture into mother nature to see all the beauty and not the crap that some may leave behind. We all walk our own paths through this journey of life, so if we all come together in unity, respect each other, show empathy of each other, then just maybe we can eliminate all the crap, the hatred, and the ugliness, as we all move forward in peace and harmony always.

 

” The beauty of mother nature is all around us we just have to get out and explore”

 

” Respect goes a long way when each one of us does it together”

 

” If you can not run for an office on your own merits then maybe you should not run for that office”

 

” Mother nature is free and unlike what some may say you can actually venture out and enjoy all her beauty”

 

 

40-day journey well worth any sacrifice

da9b9-lent_2013_40days

 

With yet another Lenten season upon us and as the 40-day journey has begun with us going to church and having the ashes placed on our foreheads, let us all sacrifice something within our lives much the same as Jesus did, showing our faith in the Lord and we haven’t forgotten what he did for us all when he walked his journey here with us.

Jesus also walked this 40-day journey and was confronted by many a temptation, with the biggest temptation coming from Satan himself. We like Jesus get tempted by the power of temptation many times through this journey but as Jesus kept the faith in his father as well as himself, showed to us all that even with the power of temptation bearing down on our souls, when we stay true to who we are when we keep the faith in ourselves as well as Jesus Christ, we to can overcome all temptation and no matter how hard we struggle, we can walk our paths through this journey of life, better and stronger and reach for the stars as there is no force strong enough to conquer us as we move forward, just as Jesus did throughout the 40-day journey.

The Lenten season is one of the most special times of the year, but if you have lost all faith in yourself and Jesus Christ, have become a non-believer in any kind of higher power,  then this time of year will have you wondering with no direction and susceptible to any kind of temptation that may come your way. Temptation is a very powerful force that will control everything in its path, yes it can suck you in but it will also spit you out just as fast and it really does not care for the condition it may leave you. We all will be tempted by each other as well. we see one with a lifestyle you dream of, then wonder why you can not have the same? We may try but then end up with much more issues then we can handle, when we just simply be who we truly are, sacrifice when we need to move forward better, so we then can have the strength to resist all temptation that may knock us down and keep us stepping backward instead of moving forward.

Temptation is quite simply Satan trying to take control of us all as well as everything else within this world, temptation at times will come with a sugar coating surrounded by whip cream and cherries, it will promise us the world but never deliver on its promise. When we stay true to who we are, resist all that the temptation may bring to us, never lose the faith in ourselves and Jesus Christ, then we can resist and conquer all that temptation may bring to us, so we may prosper and walk our paths of this journey through life, in the peace and happiness that God envisioned for us all. You can clearly see within this society of today, that there are so many that have given in to temptation, so many that have lost the faith in themselves as well as Jesus Christ and because of that we are all traveling in so many directions, that we all have lost our way and there is no GPS made that will bring us back in the right direction, only Jesus himself can do this, but as we have let Satan control us through the temptations, we do not even give Jesus a thought, let alone even having any faith at all.

So as we walk yet another 40-day journey through lent, let us walk it with a purpose, let us walk it with meaning, as we sacrifice as Jesus did, learn that when we resist the temptation that not all is lost and the world will not end, as with the total belief in ourselves and in Jesus Christ, we can get back to who we truly are, we can get back to walking our paths with confidence, so this journey through life will have a meaning once again, it will have a true direction without wandering in circles, through temptation we become stripped from being of who we truly are and lose sight of what this journey is really about. With the total belief in ourselves and Jesus Christ, we then can truly find that path of righteousness, which Jesus told us about as he walked this journey with us, but right now as we have become overwhelmed with the power of temptation, we are all walking in so many different directions, that we have lost the sight of true reality which will lead us nowhere and further away from, having any faith in ourselves or Jesus Christ.

That old saying of, ” keeping up with the Jones” is so far from the truth, but as we become tempted to do so, we find that what may be good for one, may not be good for another. This journey is full of many paths as well as many temptations, but the only way to walk this journey confidently is, to be truly of who we are and to have complete faith in Jesus Christ, as he showed us in his 40-day journey, just how much he loved us, by the true sacrifice he made for each one of us. It is not about forcing oneself and your beliefs on each other, as it is totally about loving one another, no matter of what may cross our paths and when we walk our paths correctly, then this journey through life will be that of peace and happiness for us all, so as we take stock in our lives in this Lenten season, let us all throw out what we do not need and sacrifice these things, so we then can move forward with what is important, as we then follow the lead of Jesus Christ, away from all temptation, to be better moving forward and as we show respect, dignity, and love toward one another always, throughout this journey of life.

 

” The season of lent is one of sacrifice, much like Jesus did while he showed his true love toward all”

 

” During the season of Lent, we should take stock in our lives sacrifice what we do not need and move forward better with only what we need”

 

” 40 days and 40 nights to get back to who we truly are and move forward better and stronger”

 

” Temptation is a strong force but we are stronger when we stay true to who we are”

 

 

 

 

Sometimes the best precaution is…………..” common sense”

I guess you can say that I am with Mark Levin on this one, Mark is a V-Jay on the Blaze with Glen Beck, saying that he would rather take the advice of a healthcare official and not from Pelosi or Schumer. It is pretty sad when our so called leaders have to politicize even a virus, simply because they are so far in denial, they can not see the true reality of anything they look at. Now in this day and age with all the technology and social platforms, it is very true that everything spreads like wildfire in every direction around us, tragedies and natural disasters can be seen within minutes on all the social platforms, then you add in a media that will stop at nothing to achieve their big drama agendas, now you will have anything the size of a mogul, turn into the size of a mountain or even bigger.

Now I get the fact that this Coronavirus is crippling countries with many lives being lost, but unlike what some on the left are saying, there are safety measures being taken by all the countries, but what we of today simply forget is, when we use our common sense, we then don’t need our Governments to dictate what we should do and only aid us all to be safe moving forward. This Coronavirus is spreading around the world kind of like the virus of 1918, true 99% of us were not around then and maybe very few are still here from that time, but either way, we are not going to remember what happened 102 years ago, which makes it that much more important to glance back to move forward better and stronger, as the virus from 1918 took the lives of 50,000,000 people and what the media of today will not tell you is, both these viruses originated in China, so what is wrong with knowing the truth, so we can truly help fix what we need to fix, as we all walk our paths through this journey of life.

Very true there have been many more diseases and viruses that have overcome us throughout the history of us all walking through this journey of life, so instead of being like those on the far left and pointing the finger of blame in any way that they can for their agendas, maybe we should take a look back within history from time to time, so we then can be a bit more informed, use the common sense that is within us all, as we all move forward and not backward, throughout this journey of life. Yes within this society of great technology and the fact that we the people can be so dumb, that instead of using our social media platforms for good and informing us ahead of time for what may be coming, instead, we let the far-left liberal media dictate to us through their platforms of all the drama of everything, whether that drama be true or “Fake”. It is never too late to change what we may be doing, as change is also a huge part of this journey, the change will come to us in many different ways and when we accept change and adapt to the change, then the change shouldn’t be all that scary and come with minimal pain to us all, as we walk our paths through this journey of life.

 

” Change can scare the crap out of us all, it can bring great pain as well, but when we accept and adapt to it properly can be just as beautiful than this journey of life”

 

” Precaution is kind of like preventive medicine, we document it within our brains and let common sense do its thing”

 

” Sometimes we need to glance back in time to adjust and fix what we may be doing wrong now moving forward”

 

 

 

America the beautiful

America has so much beauty within the borders of this great country, you just have to get out and see it all. No matter where you go there is beauty everywhere, just that within this broken society and with the left bias media spreading its hate rhetoric, it becomes very difficult to see through the clouds of all the crap. Not really are all the occupants within this society all bad, just that the fake news agendas will want us to think that, so they can sell their copies, just to rob us of our hard-earned monies as they live their plush exotic lifestyles.

America was built on blood, sweat, tears and hard work, the founding fathers worked hard at setting in stone the guidelines for their generation and all generations that follow them, so we all can not only experience but enjoy all the true beauty all around us. Right now within this society and what has made it become divided and full of ugliness is, we have one of the two major parties that are so deep within the walls of denial, that they have lost all sight of reality. Now because they are in denial they are trying really hard for the rest of us to follow them within their little corrupt worlds, they have grabbed the media and turned them into their world of corruption and when the rest of us go against or ignore them, we then become an outcast and are now divided from them. I say you know what? let them be all alone in their little world of corruption, so the rest of us join together and get out to see all the true beauty that is around us, so we can walk our paths through this journey of life, in the peace and happiness that God had envisioned for us all.

Very true that there is so much beauty no matter where you go around this planet, but within this great country of America the beauty is endless, especially when you venture out within Mother Nature. Plus we are not the only ones here either, there is so much wildlife around us as well, but within the clouds of our judgments, we only think we are here alone. Our actions of today just may become another’s misfortune of tomorrow? What we do to ourselves, each other and all that we may encounter along this journey does not have to dictate how we walk this journey, but if we treat each other with love, respect, and dignity, then we need not worry of anything or anybody dictating this journey for us.

America the beautiful a country with so much grandeur, you need to open your eyes widely, open your mind without being so close-minded, stop judging each other on appearance without getting to know each other, I remember as a kid we knew our neighbors, not so much now as we walk the streets of our neighborhoods and not only not recognize our neighbors, we do not even give the time of day to each other as well. It is a whole different world today than that of yesteryear and it all starts with, each one of us getting outside to truly see the beauty and not being consumed with all the corruption, the hatred or the ugliness that some may try to force on us. We have to be better than that, so we then can walk our paths of this journey as peaceful and as happy as we can moving forward.

 

” Our actions of today just may become another’s misfortunes of tomorrow”

 

” With love respect and dignity then what may be dictated to us will come in pleasure and not in ugliness”

 

” The true beauty is all around us we just have to step out of the box and truly see all the beauty then appreciate it moving forward”

 

 

Focus in on what is around you

With focus comes everything in its place, but when you are not focused then everything becomes in such disarray, everything is like it is out of place and you constantly keep trying to rearrange things, nothing ever is right there in sight and we always are looking for whatever it is we are looking for. Life itself becomes out of whack because without focus, then even as we walk our paths of this journey, everything around us we then overlook and walk right by without looking deeply at what we are seeing.

When we are out of focus even the simplest things become very difficult to tackle, we become frustrated and out of sorts, we tend to lose faith and confidence in ourselves as we think we can not do anything, which leads to our self-esteem to become nonexistent and disappear. Without the focus, we then lose all sight of true success, the true focus isn’t just looking at something clearly, true focus comes from deep within and is what we have so we then can see clearly of everything around us.

When we are in focus as we walk our paths of this journey, we then can walk with confidence as everything we do is at the very best of our abilities, we can truly feel our true feelings and emotions, everything we tackle we do so with the utmost confidence and succeed at everything we do, our self-esteem is at the strongest it can be, as we then will do everything and anything to the best of our abilities, even if we have never done the project before, nothing we will fear as fear will never scare us, we will see everything with clarity as the focus will have us see everything around us.

Very true that this focus can be stripped from us with the life events that may come to us and as these events whether of our own actions or from the actions of another, they will have us come out of focus until we dig down deep and truly fix what we need, to regain the focus to walk in confidence once again. Depending on the event and the pain/hurt that may overcome us, we may never regain the focus as now we procrastinate in order to hide the pain and hurt from each other and we try to escape as much of the pain and hurt we can, nobody ever wants to be in the clutches of any kind of pain and hurt, as it will change us into someone for who we truly are not, but if we only handle it correctly, then we can escape the clutches much quicker, so we can get back to who we are, get back to being in focus, get back to walking our paths with confidence, then we can truly feel our true feelings and emotions and walk within this journey in the peace and happiness, that Jesus has shown us when he to came and walked his journey here with us.

Even Jesus struggled at times, but when he put his true faith in his father, then the focus came back to him as well, how else you think he sacrificed himself and put himself through all the pain and hurt, so we could be free from all the pain and hurt? Jesus suffered greatly so we shall not, but because we have lost the faith in Jesus, we now have to live with the sufferings and become out of focus of everything around us, all we truly need is to get back to having true faith in Jesus, so we then can be in focus and see clearly of all that is around us and be totally in the peace and happiness, as Jesus showed us along this journey through life.

 

” Nothing we will ever fear, as fear will never scare us”

 

” Real focus will have us look deeply into what we see”

 

” Without focus, we then will become someone for who we truly are not”

 

” When we are focused then everything around we shall see clearly as we walk with confidence”
