USE YOUR TIME MOST WISELY

Pray for others constantly. Trust me, IT WORKS -even if we ourselves DO NOT πŸ™ˆ the results!

Prayer is probably the most powerful tool πŸ”§ and is probably the thing least inclined to kep you motivated to do so because -it’s results, so evasive to the naked πŸ‘ defy man’s own logic to act, to find renewed motivation incrementally through the observation of the fruits-of-his labor as they too unfold incrementally -BEFORE HIS VERY πŸ‘€ πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

MAKE IT WORK

Do your best to succeed/excel in all things; Even If God Has Other Plans -EVERYTHING WILL WORK OUT -TRUST ME!

When the motivation for the things you did when you were younger no longer exist -FIND NEW ONES; FIND BETTER ONE’S!

The best reason in the world for staying sober as you. Every other reason can fall to the wayside, children can get sick or die, spouses can also get sick or die, experiences a change of ❀… Many things can change and yet, there you are -stuck looking for another reason to stay sober after-the-fact. The reason I think we ourselves are the best reason for staying sober is that once we’re gone -staying sober no longer matters πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

YOUR REPUTATION PRECEDES YOU

God, Jesus, The Holy Spirit, The Blessed Virgin, The Apostles, The Saints, renowned sinners, satan… They all have a reputation, a set of character-traits, a legacy, a set of footprints, those things they are known and remembered most for. Now in the case of the two diametrically-opposed-polar-opposites above, each would like us to follow in their legacy. While God is known for (I won’t attempt to encapsulate God with words)… satan on the other hand, his chief transgression, his chief legacy is that of placing himself above God -while in the bathroom brushing my teeth just a few minutes ago 😳, I realized that the constant bombardment I have been struggling with is (the struggle to stay down) with a voice inside constantly trying to “E”dge “G”od “O”ut and place me center stage*.

Sidenote: One of the problems among humanity is that we care about what other people think. You know it, I know it, they know it! Jesus took the wind out of everybody’s sails by not caring what anybody thought! Let me repeat that: JESUS TOOK THE WIND OUT OF EVERYBODY’S SAILS BY NOT CARING WHAT ANYBODY THOUGHT (EXCEPT OF COURSE HIS HEAVRNLY FATHER). IT ONLY TAKES THE UTMOST LOVE AND COURAGE TO ACT AS SUCH!

Sidenote #2: What appears to have been a complete waste of time to us to us is oftentimes an exercise thighs in fake or spiritual edification to God. God is no respect of man or things! But to grow and our Creator’s likeness -is Paramount

Oftentimes it’s not the thing itself that is important, but how we come away from it! -who we become through the experience! I NEVER CARED ABOUT THAT -I CARED ABOUT THE THING (Care = anything to make me feel…).

A mind which is subordinate to its body is weak. A body which is subordinate to its mind has learned its place.

Sometimes, the answer (from God) pertaining to “Y” changes; after we’ve gone through “X”; sometimes depending on the outcome of X, sometimes not; Sometimes (being willing to go through) the experience itself is enough-is the point.

β€’Sometimes the outcome matters

β€’ Sometimes simply going through the experiences what matters.

β€’ Sometimes, not going through the experience at all -but simply being willing to do so when called upon is what matters (Abraham).

*God and satan are to be found at the most extreme ends of the (spiritual) universe. They represent the highest and the lowest among all things in, and beyond our universe!

The thing about rocky movies is that you get to see rocky grow through through the years. You get to see how he struggles through life.You get to see the toll it took on him losing Adrian alll the people he has in fact lost in one way or another. And what I see in the end just came to me about a 1/2 an hour later – “If you’re lucky, you get to live out a few of your dreams. And if your like most of us -alot of things didn’t work out the way you planned”. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈπŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ THAT’S ME! I don’t know about the dream part though.

I think πŸ€” people who tell it like it is -don’t get nearly enough credit.

I think the main problem for me and my relationships is that I learned a long time ago about what a relationship could look like.. Possibly what it should look like From an intellectual standpoint-what people had to offer was unacceptable to me acceptable to me -in spite of the fact that what I had to offer probably wasn’t acceptable to them either. Did you know that people can desire the highest standards from others well at the same time walking around with entirely low standards themselves πŸ€”. I mean to say come a person can be entirely aware of very high standards of conduct, expect them from others, yet not have the slightest inkling of them -insofar as they themselves are concerned 😟
