Trying To Do Handstands For The World…

I set out to write something big, inspiring and uplifting tonight, but with these light headiness (being sick) I have failed to even write a sentence…

One thing which does come to mind is the chase we seem to embark in keeping up appearances, maintaining our own social abilities and responsibilities to one another along with the very basics of communication.

The ironic thing is we all strive for the very same thing one way or another – that being love, acceptance or the self esteem quality of feeling adequate in society's eyes.

Anywho… just a quick little rant or ponder or rantponder <---- I think i am tired…

The Riddle…

JUST TO CONFIRM – this is an analogy or anecdote, which either one you want to see it as. It is a slab of context which describes the answer.

I have found that through the moments in which we endure, we seem to always go through endless notions of rewrites of what we call life. Life does go on, however do we? We say we are going forward, changing things, setting goals or making a difference… But all that really happens is we seem to slowly progress on this so called journey, but seem to encounter repeats of moments, repeats of times when things were good, when things were bad and when choices had to be made. Having thought we had gotten past this, it seems to come back around and give a quick nip on the rear end or a quick slap on the face as a wake up call, a reminder to say… Hey, this isn't over yet! There is still so much more to come, so buckle up buddy or “sister” life is going to keep going on, keep throwing things at you and yes it may seem to be a constant reoccurrence of what you have seen before, but get use to it!

Now, with that in mind, we also do attain wisdom, we will always grow from our experience both through thick and thin! We will gain knowledge and the understanding of how things work, how people think and how these two together will react or result in. The thing that annoys me is how people have the guts, let alone the nerve to go ahead and think they will get away with things. People must not understand the common understanding of logic or common sense. If you haven't heard of it before; we learn from mistakes, we learn to pickup and things which seem to take us down these notions. Don't you worry I can play your game too, but are you ready to play with me? Once you start there is no going back? You need to realise what is said is done, yes it can be forgiven but trust, dignity and respect are shattered into pieces, lost in the past. Forgotten.

Its happened before and was bound to start again, but why would you? If you think manipulation can spiral your way into this, then you have another thing coming. You can run and hide, you can play and fight but you will lose. Learning is the best experience anyone can obtain, and what I have learnt is… I can read you like a book, so stop shuffling your pages and let me tell you how it ends! You may think your smart which is great but I guarantee you will be out witted, out moved and put in your place. When I play this game I play for checkmate!

Riddles, puzzles and a collection of tricks you will present, but answers, solutions and results is where I am at. You think you have outwitted me, when really your playing right back into your own little twist! Deception you chose, but only you were deceived. You think your calumny will fool me – I doubt it! Yes aggression has been stirred as a good defence is always a good offense. So be on your heels, or maybe the edge of your seat because the game of guile has just begun!

What is it???

The Overstatement of Expectations…

Through life we go through a series of events, cycles, journeys, mistakes, building blocks and so on and so fourth – in which we find ourselves venturing through hope and faith with exceeding expectations, obviously goal driven, but sometimes we overstate ourselves in the sense that things will just happen when we want them to happen.

We get so tied up in what is going on and become focused on the past things and the things we want in the future… but what about now? What about the things of the present? The people, the friends, the society around you! What about working on the how and why we are going to get something and somewhere rather then the what.

I'm not saying don't set goals, or pursue ambitions or dreams, but don't overstate yourself with things which need a reality of time to happen. Not everything is going to happen as planned, so be prepared for it! Be ready to let yourself be vulnerable. Its ok to make a mistake, to feel a bit of disappointment or failure. Because without these how can we find true success or achievement?

I'm just saying don't pursue something which is running away from you, from who you are, from who you are meant to be! But chase after the things you can capture with empowerment and through the knowledge that this is building you up to move you forward rather than around in circles or lower…

“To move forward it takes not a crawl on all fours, not a single step nor a jump but stepping into the motion with two feet”

Dream Cycle of Continuity…

Have you ever had a dream which doesn't just last those final moments of your sleep, but a dream which continues every time you sleep, a dream with chapters or different segments of a prolonged story, or a hidden agenda…

Have you ever had something on your mind which seems relentless to let go of? It seems to latch on to you and follow you around like a bad smell? Once you forget it, you remember that you haven't thought about it – then bam your thinking about it. So your going through this long cycle of  an un-needed repeat which gets you no where.

What if you if finally you found something which did make you forget, that made you finally seem a peace once again and all knowing. Not a feeling to cover it up, but rather something which blocks out that endless cycle…

So what is it? I don't know… once you find it please let me know

There is one peace we can turn to… Jesus

"So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today.” – Matthew 6:34

“You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you! Trust in the Lord always, for the Lord God is the eternal Rock.”
- Isaiah 26:3-4
