NO FORT KNOX

There’s a lot of stuff in the world that is easily accessible -If you know where to look -and what you’re doing you’re doing. Camouflage; lack of knowledge; lack of whereabouts – These are the tools guarding… No fortress, no vault, no cameras (well maybe in some cases)…

Sidenote: Man prefers the sort of experience that stimulates pomp rather than humility – But in order to enter the gates of Heaven, humility rather than pomp is what is required!

BEWARE…

Beware of the man or woman who knows how to get things done!! I’m watching the movie “Without Evidence”, And these folks don’t look like they fool around! And 🤔 they appear to know what they’re doing! I WISH I DID 😏

WASTE NOT…

Men in certain areas no longer waste now that they have discovered they can make a profit awful make a profit off of what used to be thrown away. But why not sooner? And why always about money!

The money system or border and trade system is not simply for people to be self accountable in there survival but also to ensure inequality.

GOD ONLY KNOWS

The food of the people in The Bible calm the food specified in history books regarding people in the East, in many cases we’re very spot sparse and unvaried -and yet, people manage to function for decades. This can only be explained by God!

STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS

Ya know 🤔, I’ve had a lot of crazy thoughts go through this head of mine over the years -THAT can be very hard to bounce back from! And believe me -IT HAS BEEN. SOME OLD THOUGHTS STILL TRY TO CTEEP IN FROM TIME-TO-TIME. OLD FEELINGS, STATES, MOODS, CONCEPTIONS… *🤷‍♂️

*For several years now I’ve been saying “I’m about 90% better -the remaining 10 I’ll just have to be content with working on “ONE DAY AT A TIME””.

Sidenote: Very early in my recovery I started to think to myself 🤔 “If you are not happy when life is relatively good relatively good, what is it gonna be like when it’s not?”

Certain aspects of the world around us are largely the same for all of us. Good people, bad people… People with hangups, the world really hasn’t changed much – You can always find a wide diversity of people on both ends of the spectrum and everything in between. The difference is always in the individual not in humanity is a whole! It’s how each of us as individuals choose choose to respond or relate be late to that never changing world -that makes all the difference in the world. Rocky Balboa says “The world is a mean and nasty place!” – Do you think that line is fictional? Do you think some of Sylvester Stallone’s real life experiences are in that line? Are in the script of that movie? Are in the scripts of all the movies he’s written? A person in his position has probably seen as much of life as any of us. As much of every side of humanity as any of us.

If only I could make that one big score -like Rocky! Pay off these bills, get a house….. and mosie off into the 🌇 🌅

OPINIONS ARE LIKE…

Once a person has formed an opinion, it (can) often lead to…

•Judgement

•Criticism

•Conclusions

•Stigmatization

•Stereotyping

•Prejudice

•Bigotry

•Resentment

•Hatred

•Indifference*

The number one reason teens commit suicide -feeling unaccepted.

Perhaps the number one reason alcoholics drink is drink or relapse -feeling judged.

*Contrary to popular belief, the opposite of love is not hate.

TELL N’ SHOW

You show people a little bit of who you are they show you a little bit of who they are… Rocky Balboa “The scene when first meeting Steps”.

Certain words when used in conversation can be construed as demeaning -wirds like “little” or… I’d have to review some of my conversations in real time in order to come up with a couple more at least. Sorry bout that 😬

Relationships require a lot of energy some of us don’t have to spare -and some of us are unwilling despair.

Some people have a gift for bringing others down – While others seem to make it a point of bringing other people up Rocky seemed to carry that trait with him throughout his life Sadly though, some of us don’t seem to have a gift, nor a thought -one way or the other.

Compliment often! I started noticing years ago that people never complimented -ncluding myself. So then, I started doing so. Then one day, I started noticing I was the only one doing so. 🙃

I tried to take people when is it time -but for example, when you’re dealing with a particular race we who exhibits a rather undesirable trait repeatedly… 🤔

I never knew there was such a thing as being too nice -but apparently, that sits a lot of people on their heels.
