Never pressure anyone or anything to stay in your life. It’s like holding a butterfly too tight… As beautiful as it is …You run the risk of breaking its fragile wings when we apply too much pressure…Which in turn will render it flightless. However, sometimes pressure is needed in order to produce true greatness… The hardships in our lives are like the needed pressure that produces diamonds. You dont have to put pressure on everything or everyone you desire to have in your life. A dog will come back as long as you feed it… but if you encage it …that same dog will see you as an oppressor and no longer a friend… and may eventually strive for freedom over your “supposed” friendship…And may eventually bite the hand that oppresses it. Or if you see a songbird… it doesn’t mean you need to disregard its freedom by capturing it and placing it in a cage it just to serve as your muse. Just as the beauty of the songbirds song blessed your ears and its beauty has graced your vision. You just have to have faith that if you let it go…it will happen again… and if it doesn’t come back… its absence doesn’t make it any less beautiful…But take comfort in the memory of it and that you aren’t the only one that heard its song or saw its beauty…without pressure. Even though the sound may be pleasing…Unbearable is the sight of a caged bird. Ease up a little.

Not everyone will inherit a mental or monetary recipe for success or be handed down guidelines on how to successfully acquire and maintain their personal wealth, health and sanity. Some people will misconstrue euphoria as just an illusion of All Leisure with no sacrifice. A person who has never worked hard for anything…will always be blinded to the utopia of rewards of overcoming obstacles, which before seemed to be impossible. If you weren’t born with a silver spoon in your mouth… then surely your future stability will have uncertain adventures, unfamiliar ingredients and uncharted waters… in order to create your own success from scratch. Even if we are given the map to the treasure… we must travel many challenging and uncertain paths to obtain its riches. There are many rewarding lessons to be learned by carving our own path; much more than if someone gave you a manual or wrote a script for you to play in their movie. B Thankful~ B Driven~B Giving~B Kind to others…but 1stly…B Real with self.

The mental connection we make with another persons heart…. is much more meaningful than the connection that we make with their mind. True that we should make a mental connection to one another firstly, but I also believe that it’s possible to make a mental connection with someone’s heart… in the same instance that you are taking mental notes. Even if you’ve never someone face to face…its possible to truly understand a person, by mentally connecting with the spirit of their heart. When someone is caught up on self; so much that they disregard the heart of another… its usually because “BIG-ME vs. little you” has set in… and then our interactions become all mental/mechanical/scientific. Not natural, free flowing or unconfined in nature. Someone with a strong mind should make no apologies for being right…but the second we make an attempt to step out of the realms of empathy…we seemingly disconnect with the heart and become vilified or labeled unjust, self righteous or non sympathetic. A selfish nature has a chance to take over a pure heart, if it’s not feeling the importance of mentally connecting with the soul of the heart. Don’t allow mental weakness, fear and hatred to be the fertilizer and water that grows our overall spiritual garden. Although we may sometimes have to disconnect our emotions from logic…If we don’t sympathize we can never know what’s behind the eyes of lies & flies. While motivating…Ego/Pride can be kind of lonely and like depriving self of the beauty of the connection between the Mind and the Heart of self and with those who cross our path.
Absorb and Project…Me~WE

Sacrifice is uncomfortable… but it is necessary to obtain that of what we truly desire. Pretend-Kickin-it… Is seemingly pacifying to the way we actually want to Kick-it… My apologies to the host… but I dont spend a lot of time in excessive celebration. The victories that I hope to celebrate are broad and require much hard work and diligence. True that waking up daily is a blessed thing and a valid reason to celebrate…But If you spend more Time & Energy presenting an image of someone who is happy instead of actively pursuing your dreams… then you still have a lot of learning to do. Money & Success are fulfilling because of how it makes people look while spending it… But when youre out of it… you want to destroy something, LOL…All too often people hurt their own pockets behind Vanity and Image. Im also not saying that being stingy and saving money is the only sacrifice needed for happiness. Learn how to sacrifice your comfort zone for the sake of more than just yourself…so that you need not sit in a lonely Kingdom, on a lonely throne. Sacrifice excessive indulgence for self now…So you can Real-Kick-it Later
Signed…I Got’s Work to do.

Not everything you see is what it seems… If a person is homeless…it doesn’t make them any more ignorant than a person who has a home. Just because a person has a home it doesn’t mean that that home is a happy home. I have seen people living out of tents who are more content and at peace than someone with a big chunky mortgage payment. And just because a person has a degree… it doesn’t make them smarter than a person without one. It simply means that they are possibly more learned in a particular field of study. Nothing beats the education that life experiences bring about. And just because a person is born with a silver spoon in their mouth… it doesn’t mean they will have an abundance of friends when they pass or that they will be buried in a gold casket. Unfortunate circumstances will eventually meet the fortunate at some point in life. But it’s a matter of how we adapt to the situation that will determine the outcome. Every person that walks through the fire won’t stay there. Some people have mental issues and don’t even know it yet…and may need assistance. And there are those who do know they have issues but are mentally in denial. Its true that some peoples appearances are enough to question their sanity. But you should never treat people foul because of our own internal fears or insecurities. Give a fearless approach to your interactions with others…you may be looking down on a millionaire and not know it….or you may be looking up at a bum who’s pretending to be a wealthy.

Some people may feel as if  i do things that they wouldnt do… or that i may speak not so close to their own way of thinking. I may not speak in a desired direction for all… but i would much rather speak in a way that frees the mind and heart… then captures them like a prize of some sort. Its hard to choose the correct path to ones own self righteousness when we have so many false profits and people who are driven by motive but once they build an audience they forget who to deliver on their promises they made at the podium. Leading people in the direction of one ideology. I understand the passion that exists inside of a person who believes they are doing the right thing. But all too often ive heard some truly inspiring words from preachers, teachers, politicians, and so called leaders that do great things for the community. So im not chastising anyone religion or methodology of fulfillment to villify anyone… but all too often ive seen the human side of people (who appear to be seemingly mortal) fall from grace, because they were either not living by the words of which they spoke, misinterpreting their teachings for mere gain. or simply lying to promote a devious agenda. I simply wake up every morning and think of a thing or two to write …just to hopefully inspire on or two and hopefully motivate a few. I welcome conversation that is progressive, but if it aint what you want to hear… go ahead and find another person to complain about or to…because im not here to tear down …but build and promote a positive mindset… Thats all. Lbs. & Hugs to the mentally needy and spiritually unfulfilled. See the need…Meet the demand.
