Some children’s lives are characterized by humor; while others…

DO THINGS THAT MAKE YOUR PARTNER RESPECT YOU “MORE AND MORE” NOT “LESS AND LESS”! And always increase their yearning for you! How:

•Enormous respect

•Enormous consideration

•Constant attention

•Constant building up

Most people in the town I live in; if you scratch “the surface” they will resort to being a bit of a jerk!

It sucks that we meet someone and fall in love with them; then, without looking, nor welcoming it, someone comes along and touches us in a place our partner seemingly can’t, seemingly never has! IT SUXX! But we humans undergo such experiences as a species, regularly -WHY GOD?

I’ve had countless things happen with family and never get an apology. Not like stealing or hitting or anything like that. A lack of consideration or thoughtfulness or giving. These things can be harder to own up to by we human beings. It’s easy for us to say when I’m doing anything wrong because it’s not so much overt or intrusive, as it is lacking. But it can be just as damaging or perhaps more so due to the lack of empathy that ensues from it because it’s lacking rather than a word or intrusive. The more subtle something is the less inclined certain human beings will be to take responsibility for it I think.

The more we practice being in the moment the better we will become at staying in it -and the better we will become at functioning in it. MAKES PERFECT SENSE. It also appears to be my own personal experience.

Rational to the point of being irrational.

NEVER make your partner feel rejected! Ever!

Something is either occurring within us or outside of us. Both demand our attention and both demand to be taken serious

Fear can come from different places within us! From the moment before us. From a past experience. When the 2 get confused…

Never let anyone person have too much power.

Money Is finite; Principles are infinite -when is man going to get this through his head!

People who believe in GOD but are mean to others-how do you take that?

FACEBOOK “George Bush “They will not change the way we live”. Is that a joke or a lie or just plain ignorance of a man who’s supposed to be running our country? In whom our very lives were dependent upon? Since things did change I guess the terrorist won? We can hardly call ourselves a free country while giving up rights and freedoms at the hand of terrorist acts – Whether we want to admit it or not, they made us flinch. Everyone in our country is being watched -so how is that freedom? Because we can still move around and do the majority of things we want to -that’s freedom? Or is that merely freedom compared to what other countries have to offer?”

FACEBOOK “With human beings it usually comes down to material things based on survival or on thriving; Along with, personality [emotional survival], and ego [emotional thriving]. These are the things we tend to quibble over.”

Maturity and Character in relationships

Stay in the moment &Trust in GOD. ONE IS THE FOCAL POINT OF TIME -WHILE GOD IS OUTSIDE OF IT! The two extremes which encompass all!

When partners in a relationship take seriously things that might seemingly be minister… this sort of attitude is what creates and lays the foundation and a path for a long term future together. Of course the opposite attitude is the way to pave a foundation and a path for a very short term or at the very least, miserable relationship.

Even though it has been said that the greatest trick the devil ever pulls was convincing people he didn’t exist… people continue to believe it doesn’t exist in many areas of the world! WTF????? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

I don’t need to be forgiven; I don’t need to be made amends to. My program is within my own control; GOD’S grace is completely within my reach. Attitude; gratitude; making amends; forgiving; CONSTANT THOUGHT OF OTHERS are the counter-measures we take against such things as self-pity; depression and so forth!

Trying to be OK in a society that isn’t -IS AN ENORMOUS CHALLENGE! THESE ARE CONCEPTS MANY WILL CHALLENGE! Trying to recover from a turbulent childhood while existing in a society which continues to exhibit the very traits that effected us adversely to begin with. What is the common thread with people in my childhood and people in my adulthood; people in the home, and; people outside of the home. THERE IS A COMMON THREAD ALMOST ALWAYS!

Making a big deal out of little things and making a big deal out of big things and a little deal out of little things. Does that compute? Not making a big thing out of my own things. Not making a big thing out of other people’s things in a negative way. Making a big deal out of things that are a big deal to you rather than minimizing them. Making a little thing out of big things in order to comfort others and make them feel safer.

Is it true that there’s a lot of money to be made in war? That when governments don’t have to protect their people that they begin to appear obsolete? Do we honestly live in a world predicated upon the need for death and destruction? Is there not money in death? We need to change that. There shouldn’t be money in death. There shouldn’t be anything gained through tragedy where it invokes in us a desire for more of “it”!

Sometimes God doesn’t answer prayers because we’re right where we’re supposed to be and functioningjustice were supposed to function. I’ll miss trust of one another for esample, we want to have a remove so we can have relationships and function in society. But this is a separate issue, perhaps a subordinate issue to the fact that we have mistrust in a society that is not worthy of trust.

Most people would not be able to live with a relationship day after day where they thought they were going to die if something happened to or in that relationship.

When you’ve spent much of your life crossing, overstepping MORAL-BOUNDARIES.. it can be difficult to do “the right about face”. Or if you’ve got thru life cheating, it can be very difficult to live life ON LIFE’S TERMS!

Want to really know about a person -ask their partner!

Where I live is A GREAT PLACE TO PRACTICE SPIRITUAL PRINCIPLES!

Old ideas… is unity one of them? Our country is divided!

it’s not that I wouldn’t be devastated, I just have a sense that if the relationship ended, if I was betrayed…. THE FEELING OF HOW I WOULD FEEL, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN… IS CAUSING ME TO “WIG-OUT”! “IT” IS THE PROBLEM! NOT WHAT I WOULD NOT FEEL IF THAT RELATIONSHIP ENDED, OR HOW I MIGHT OR WOULD FEEL DIFFERENTLY! I WOULD BE DECASTATED -4SURE!.

So once again, eliminate system, assistant limited to rectify its own mistakes by only correcting that mistake or undoing it so far. Today synchrony bank was an error and was charging me interest on an account that was supposed to be 0 doubt back in October, it is now may of the following year. They removed everything including the credit report but could not reinstate the account ugh

Could never figure out why once you have heart surgery done you can’t go back to living life for another 20-30 years the way you like? Clean those pipes out and get back to enjoying life and fine cuisine.

Do you know what it is to TRULY LOVE YOUR FELLOW MAN? To TRULY LOVE MANKIND?

A problem for man:

●To change where he should;

●To not change where he doesn’t need to*

*Man starts out wonderfully many times in his relationships and then -goes down hill from there. Your partner [boss, co-worker, friend] should grow in respect for you from day one!

Sometimes we shouldn’t be a certain way, even though it’s [appropriate or] understandable to be a certain way. The funny thing is with regard to my attitude towards humanity; maybe my attitude has affected humanities attitude towards me; But, if I use my partners*, throughout history as a guage of my attitude at any given time throughout my life, for most of my early life I PROBABLY DIDN’T INSPIRE PEOPLE TOO POSSITIVELY; and now, based upon my partners attitude towards me, I probably have some things you would think would inspire others, but still 🤔 aside from NOT bringing about a negative attitude from others, I really don’t seem to have a very positive impact on others out in the world, aside from my girlfriend!

*Your partner is an excellent g(u)age [<-had to look up and correct from “gage”] of your progress, even your current “state” or “condition”.

It’s apparent to me -GOD’S not going to interfere with my “free-will” [thinking] corrupt or otherwise. WHICH IS WHY IT’S SO IMPORTANT TO HAVE “THE STRONGEST POSSIBLE CONNECTION WITH GOD” in the hopes of having the “purest train-of-thought” I am capable of attaining!

Some people are genius with me how other people are going to receive it -most of us are not lol

I have a lot to offer it’s just not a lot of what a lot of other people generally have to offer.

What are people without principles? Hint : Even animals utwise principles.

Can you just imagine how many companies would have gone under, how many more companies would have gone under if people were not quarantined through covid with cell phones to continue to pay bills and spend money lol Is the time in coincidence?

A lot of times the bank is happy but we’re not happy!

I don’t think watching everyone is freedom. So what do we do? We live right and we stop getting involved in other countries business for personal gain. I don’t think our grandparents had quite as many or certain kinds of conflicts with the countries that were experiencing today. Most countries genuinely had a respect for American citizens.

We go for what we think we can get. We go for what we think we deserve. Some people of course book this trend and the results are very interesting

With most people it’s not a lack of money regarding getting out and enjoying life even though they think it is.

You could be the same good person in your relationship day in and day out and still your partner could evolve an attitude that is not positive because they want more.

The problem I have with the majority of humanity is they don’t apply PURE PRINCIPLES!

No matter how consistent you are your partner is observing you and evolving continually with regard to their feelings about you. No matter if you’re the same person from day one to the end of your relationship your partner is observing you and evolving continually with regard to their feelings about you.

There’s a combination of people at work here in this town I live in that bring each other down and another group that doesn’t bring each other up and the combination together…

False self worth is killing our country. People running around with all these nice toys and money thinking there somebody simply based upon that and nothing internal.

GOD will make it up to us some other way – Not necessarily financially. Ask man how he wants to be compensave it and 9 times out of 10… It won’t be the way GOD would. 9/10 man chooses “an inferior form of compensation”.

We arrest little satisfactions here and there out of things we see and things we think. Rather than doing. Or refraining and doing.Why is it that man cannot sin? Does it keep him sane? How is it that 1 man can refrain from sinning in one area but not another but yet another man can?Everyone has a code-including God. But God doesn’t flinch every time the situation changes – Man not only does but he wants God to as well.

Terminal illnes You don’t have to know what’s in a person’s heart, maybe you’re not meant to -but if like JESUS- you act to save a soul in either case; you will save those souls that are open. Point, JESUS KNEW WHO WAS SAVEABLE. I KIND OF THOUGHT MY LACK OF KNOWING WAS A DISADVANTAGE. BUT, DOING THE WORK IN EITHER INSTANCE… I GET TO ACT JUST LIKE MY HEAVENLY FATHER -AS HE WOULD HAVE ME ACT!

MAN IS A “COMPULSORARY CREATURE”!

Alot of people “think their normal” who are not! Alot of people!

Some people are likable and some people are not. But everyone wants to be loved. People however tend to lean towards the likable people. JESUS did not. It’s a problem for our kind though!

Imagine going through life never really feeling uncomfortable. Arranging everything [everyone] in such a way continually calm a particularly… Some people are quite good at this.

When your partner no longer sees you as a value or as a bargain…. Not everyone will dump their partner under these conditions but a lot of people will.

We look at things with our eyes and it helps to take the sting out of life where otherwise we would act to actually do something worthwhile to take the sting out of life. Actually take right action to address the true problem.

People are alluring

A weak society and a big government vs a strong society and a small government!

Ask Maggie!

The more the dynamic shifts from “giving” towards “taking” as is the case currently in American Society -is a recipe for “DISASTER”!

Our NOW, whatever that happens to present itself as, is always PRECEDED BY [triggered by] something!

Some people seem to make a decision once; others have to make “it” repeatedly!

I think I have a little bit of that little man’s complex

■I don’t think things are the way GOD wants them to be -were not getting what we were intended from each other. I don’t think God is happy with the way things are but he definitely has a plan for how he wants us to behave in that world!

■Having and Alcoholic mind doesn’t help. We need to prepare for each new day and seek GOD’S help

■But when we take a certain approach, and attitude toward life, we will ignite in others such an attitude and approach to life within themselves, though this is “hit-and-miss”

■I think sometimes what we want is what GOD wants; I mean i’m not completely crazy [am I lol]. When I say I don’t think I’m completely crazy, that’s speaking for myself. I’ve worked through a lot of issues over the years, perhaps you still have a ways to go! A ways to go in your thinking.

■I don’t think life would be wonderful if everyone did what we wanted WE STILL HAVE TO WORK ON OUR SELVES.

■ Regardless of the state of society; THE APPROACH IS THE SAME -LOOK FOR WHAT WE CAN CONTRIBUTE “AN ATTITUDE OF GOODWILL TOWARDS OTHERS” IN ALL OUR AFFAIRS!*

*I think BILL W. skewed it way over, because if you even hint at something that implies a way out for we Alcoholics…. give us an inch, we’ll take a mile!

**Everybody wants to be treated with respect and consideration, but we can’t go around responding with non spiritual principles to people who do not treat us as such

In the beginning we want may want to practice the AA program is if we are completely at fault.

We don’t want to take responsibility and practice diligence on our own part to the point where we’re taking responsibility for other people and their part

Happy people don’t think this way..

In the God-made world God is king. But certain men believe that if they can manufacture a completely man made world he will be king.

●The SELF [beware of] what self is going to surface today? Not everyone faces this predicament. The best possible self requires proper preparation -seldom does anything perform at its best without proper maintenance and adequate preparation.

●STAY IN THE MOMENT

●TRUST IN GOD

●CONSTANT THOUGHT OF OTHERS

Sometimes what we want is what God wants. We’re not entirely selfish or crazy or anything else. Sometimes we want what we want, it’s what God wants, and when we don’t get it it’s right to feel sad or hurt or even a little angry, even lonely 🤷‍♂️

Perhaps the worst thing the human being can experience is killing the one they love. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Man is prone to make decisions he shouldn’t and fails to make decisions he should. He lets things in he shouldn’t end doesn’t let things and he should.

When a person can’t think of anything else to say, falling back on self-centeredness is always the topic one can rely on.

In the beginning there was more land than people and now there’s more people than land. People in this country who were born here should be given land and give me The Choice to keep it or sell it and then be done with it. That is the one thing the capitalism and commercialism should not reign over is the birthright to own land and build a house on it if you were born on this land. Anyone born on this land is a NATIVE-AMERICAN. Indians were granted land because they were natives of this land. The fact that we don’t do that for Americans is just a ploy on commercialism and capitalism. Frankly, the same rules for the Indian should apply to Americans born here. It’s all b******* is what it is -Man places himself above God but acts beneath God.

We pay companies money for their products and services and then they turn around and use that money against us. Are those the kind of people you want to do business with? If you don’t care maybe you should!

EXPECTATIONS -SOMETIMES WHAT WE WANT IS WHAT GOD WANTS!!!!

●There’s something wrong with me -out of love not hate. And there is something wrong with me from the perspective GOD WANTS ME SERENE AND GRATEFUL NOT BITTER, RESENTFUL, UNMINDFUL OF HIS INFINITE BLESSINGS.

●When somebody dies, you don’t feel happy, but you remain serene. We have feelings for a reason.

●We can stay serene when others hurt us, we should only lose our Serenity when we ourselves act against GOD’S laws.

●It’s like a game, and sanity dictates we, as often as possible dwell in “THE SUNLIGHT OF THE SPIRIT”. NOT “self” or “a world gone madd”! The game is screw chaos [sew peace] and being restless, irritable, and discontent -right or wrong!

●Do you want to be happy or do you want to be right? And for me… ego?

●Serenity and Happiness have never been a priority of mine

●We can not always be happy, but serene…

●Worrying [taking my eye off of GOD weakens me; Faith [keeping my eyes on the world with all it’s chaos, all it’s injustice] strengthens me!

●Long-term pain [even short-term], discomfort of the negative sort is a threat to my sobriety; good pain can also threaten an Alcoholics sobriety!

●I pity the fool

●Learning to be happy with life happening to us!

●Rivalry between self and the 🌎 STOP IT!!!!

People think happiness and serenity are something you pursue not something you choose. They are so convinced of this they are even willing to pursue it when it brings them only unhappiness and anxiety/chaos!

I can be relatively serene without people in my life; Maintaining Serenity with “the world” apart of it however… 🤷‍♂️

A few Disappointments & Surprises

When people have phones in their homes it was an advantage over people with ill intent. When people everywhere acquired cell phones calm but that advantage was taken away from people in their homes. It was compromised..

I grew up in a time where love and family were all about the movies.

I can go down-the-line with you Steve and go over what we paid for each of these items and your jaw is gonna drop when you start hearing what we paid for these. We didn’t add anything to it on the amount that we have invested, we accurately tallied up the bottom line on each one except in about half the cases we didn’t even include the tank. We might be off $5000 or so but that is negated by the tax we have yet to apply to about half the items at 8.1% New Mexico tax that would be 4000 so that negates the difference more or less. $365 for the pink sapphire. A $160 for the ladies wedding ring with a 1/2 carrot diamond. $250 for the 60 point solitaire and your 80 point is going for 6500 and ours is probably VS2 or VS1 one or even better. The chain we 1st brought in $7250. Some places are selling 18 caragult for $300 a gram. That would put that on a $150000

We’re making 200000 on the deal and you are someone else can make another 200000 were confident. The only reason we don’t go for the extra 200000 is we don’t have the clientele we don’t have the reputation we don’t have the shop for people to come back with their items if they have aggrieved. People would rather go to JC Penney and buy a s***** pair of earrings for 3000 then buy up awesome quality pair of earrings from us for 2000 because we don’t have the business we don’t have a building that they can come to if they have an issue-people are weary. The 2 twins, the one with A45I paid $640 for the 1 with the 60 I paid $460 for. Based on what you have in your case these rings are worth 7, 8, $9000. You look through the top of them and you cannot see anything. Half the stuff we have is just like this. 1/10th-1/20th of the value or selling price is what we paid.

I have a lot of thoughts that are just nonsense -and I have to tell them to just go away.

Don’t waste your time on that aspect of people!

People who don’t like people very much respond very differently to people who do wrong than people who like people do.

Make 2 things a priority in the world:

● Do your best not to hurt yourself or other people;

● Make Peace and Serenity you’re priority!

3 things which are indispensible:

● Trust in GOD and always be grateful to HIM;

● STAY in the now where we are apt to be most conscious of GOD’S presence;

● Continually seek ways to be helpful to others!

* Always remain teachable and flexible.

It’s not our responsibility to INTERNALIZE what the world does to us, how it acts…..WE BECOME VICTIMS OF AN UNGODLY WORLD

The way around humanity has devmonstrated by Jesus is not to squabble over material things, yourself leave ego out of it though it will at times be unavoidable on the part of others [principles before personalities], and love absolutely!

If GOD IS LOVE, then in the face of adversity, or anything else, this will more or less be HIS default approach -but with so much of humanity not being such, their default approach… [what’s on the inside -generally comes out]. . 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

Speaking of things that lack depth is where a lot of people get themselves into trouble.

___________________________________________________________

☆☆☆☆☆You can add a 0 to most of this stuff comfortably*

☆☆☆☆☆We’re not just thinking of ourselves here

☆☆☆☆☆*I always figured if we could just split the profit -that would be reasonable. Your time and building and connections and our product. $100000 invested come 200000 profit on our end, and 200000 profit on urine. $100000 invested come 200000 profit on our end, and 200000 profit on your end! Granted we’re keeping some of the pieces, this formula will still hold true. The collection is not only indicative of “sheer volume”, beauty as we as variety, but quality-which is actually it’s saving grace! Which is actually its most outstanding feature.

☆☆☆☆☆Even if we don’t meet our end goal here, you can still have a lot of fun sharing

☆☆☆☆☆There’s quite a few “10-granders” in here!

☆☆☆☆☆ Quality and Sustenance

☆☆☆☆☆People are more inclined to buy a piece of jewelry that is overpriced but within a certain price range they than pay for something out of the price range that is properly priced.

☆☆☆☆☆Quality never goes out of style

☆☆☆☆☆This stuff sells itself

Believing is such a crucial part of any relationship; Not believing is such a crucial part of satan’s plan!

Birthright should not be inferior to capitalism or commercialism. Every person in this country should be afforded to land. And if they should decide to sell it to the land grubbers then so be it. Let these land bears pay for their Empire from red blooded Americans born on this soil. A bunch of people bought up a bunch of land years ago and that leaves all of us out?

Alot of unhealthy people ate successful! But almost invariably, their relationships tend to suck!

people don’t get what they need, among their fellow human beings by being good human-beings! They get them by their labor -this rule holds true even among assholes -unfortunately!

What’s the difference between the way you were raised and being spiritually fit. Years of self-will-run-riot likely demands spiritual fitness. If you’re raised well, you could appear to be more spiritually-fit with very little time sober than someone with years, even decades of sobriety with an inferior upbringing! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Money seems to make all the difference in the world, but don’t so do spiritual things. If you ask most people calm but they will tell you they can’t live without money but they can live without spiritual things. If you ask me karma wanna allow you to stay alive while the other allows you to be alive. There are a lot of people out there staying alive who aren’t really alive.

America is becoming a very selfish country.

Just because something bad happens doesn’t mean something good or even great will not come from it. But in the moment that’s not what man is thinking -or necessarily believing!

If this country is of the people, for the people, by the people…. And people hate paying taxes or people feel that they are being taxed unfairly or disproportionately compared to other people and they’re incomes… then why or how was it that the IRS and the government have power over us in these instances? Division, among other things -that’s how. Or we vote people into office and give away our power and then end up with something completely different from what we thought we were voting for. Who we thought we were voting poor. Again, a guy who screws up at McDonald’s is out of there in 5 minutes. A guy running the country and in whom our actual lives depend on, it takes months and years to get rid of them -Why?

So if someone loves pain, how does satan punish them?

Once you buy into satan’s lies you become a part of the scheme.

Always make the most important thing the most important thing the most important thing. When we do this we will always find that gratitude is the most appropriate emotion or state of mind.

Just stay humble and grateful!

End the world when the maximum number of souls return to you LORD!

☆☆☆☆☆ If you should see anything else you think we should keep…. TYTYTY LORD MY GOD 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

☆☆☆☆☆Q.N.G.O.O.S.

☆☆☆☆☆☆The store owner opens up a shop and pays rent for many years until he no longer pays rent -everything is cream off the top from there on. Steve Thomas since you’ve been in the business for 40 years I wouldn’t be surprised if you own this shop, I wouldn’t be surprised if you owned this mall lol

☆☆☆☆☆ “One might argue the volume isn’t quite there – This may be true ☝️ But once one takes into account the diversity, the uniqueness, and the quality [and overall CONDITION]…..WE BELIEVE “THE COLLECTION”, EVEN WITH THE PIECES YOU HAVE RECOMMENDED WE KEEP -CONTINUES TO UPHOLD “THE INTEGRITY OF” THE ORIGINAL ASKING PRICE OF… $300, 000.00.

☆☆☆☆☆ Back when things like choice and creativity, the 2 “C’s”… actually meant something in this country! Steve on mixing and matching watch faces with the housing for a pocket watch

☆☆☆☆☆ If you can’t make it to 5, even $600000 -WE believe you’re selling yourself short! On the used… Whoever heard of used gold? Besides, isn’t it all used? Lol Gold is the one thing that has been used and reused throughout history -ad infinitem! Ad nauseum!

☆☆☆☆☆ The wife is still trying to figure out how I got away with “paying so little”:

“I came in at a time when you could buy a $4000 gold chain for several $100”!

I remember when I was younger it was so difficult to be good and respectful to my partner:

🤔If you’re going to think one way; why not think the other way🤔 Never under us to make the value of a missed opportunity. Maybe it saved you from losing a leg somewhere down the road.🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

To GOD it’s a challenge! GOD LOVES “(UN)DOING THE SEEMINGLY IMPOSSIBLE”.

Easy? Automatic? It seems like it’s in our nature, passed down from the first, this defiance, this difficulty in trusting and relying on,, and believing in GOD!

I’m not sure GOD listens so much to our mouth as to our hearts! 💕

●Don’t internalize the world [KEEP IT SIMPLE -the simpler my life is the less opportunity for my alcoholism to come out and play].

●KEEP my time in the world to a minimum & time with GOD to a maximum [alone in my room focused, not distracted].

How often man responds inappropriately?

Alcoholics choose to run towards rather than away from; Alcoholics choose self-will as a means of dealing with life’s problems rather than choosing PEACE & SERENITY as a priority!

We live in a society largely void of spiritual principles. Society is not operating from the plan GOD intended for us in order to meet our needs! We tend to downplay that! Soldier on through it! Soldier on through it; even use numerous excuses, justifications, judgements while sloshing thru it -as opposed to simply recognizing this great, and terrible fact! Old saying “I never returned home after a day out in the 🌎 “A BETTER MAN”. I’m so preoccupied with the world for two main reasons:

1] SELF <‐> FEAR/EGO

2] FEAR/EGO (stemming from self)

ONCE WE DIVORCE OURSELVES OF BOTH, WITH GOD’S help… 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

I think a lot of this going through life being bedeviled by it comes down to making a decision! Reasoning in our own minds and in our own hearts and in the recesses of our very own souls…

Too much of a good thing…. NO GOOD!

Resources and things, ego, self preservation… these are the things in general people tend towards violence about.

Sometimes it’s necessary to recalibrate emotionally or even spiritually.

“I CAN BE THAT MAN TO MAGGIE-LOVE”. I may- in my case- need to have a little ❤️ to ❤️ though! But doesn’t every man “NOW & AGAIN?

If GOD did for us what, how, and at what pace come we do for him and ourselves and others.. Is it any wonder “Our prayers get answered as they do?”

“Oh come on now, she’s smarter than both of us”. Lol

“If someone can make a billion surely I can make a million”. 🥱

“Maggie & myself are living proof that 2 people can build each other up, raise each other up from the lowest depths in spite of a world bent on tearing us and itself down calm bent on indifference!”

G & H

●We think we can do it w/o GOD [EGO]

●We think we can do it better than GOD [INGRATITUDE]

Just because I have a thought* doesn’t mean I have to buy into it. Still have thoughts [entery mind]; but I really don’t GO DOWN THAT PATH VERY OFTEN ANYMORE!

For example, just like The Bible, you ask people about the world and they’ll give you different opinions about it. What I know about the world is the less time I spend in it the better off I am -but that’s just me.

There are a lot of unattractive people out there that have things simply because they have a beautiful spirit and nothing more. Now why shouldn’t you who have much more going for yourself the name have those very same things and perhaps even more due to your beauty? Do you understand the concept?

There are many different minds and attitudes out there in the world, which one do you most resemble? Which 1’s would you like to exemplify if you could? Experience if you could? And remember to use your imaginations, within our world however, they’re probably contains, encompasses people like it. Ohhhh the possibilities!

There’s a difference between a $3000 ring that’s ugly and a $3000 ring that’s beautiful. There’s a difference between the reaction of a person who runs into trouble with another person who loves people and a person who runs into trouble with another person who hates people. There’s 2 kinds of people in the world: The 1st is the kind of people who have problems, this basically entails everyone; The 2nd are the kind of people who have problems and are willing to do something about them. Which kind of person would you rather be with, a person that doesn’t appear on the front end to have too many problems, but later you find out they do -but are unwilling to address them? Or, a person that does appear on the front end to have problems, but later you find out is willing to address them? Far too often we choose the form rather than the latter.Because we’re thinking of ourselves in many instances and end up paying a price for it. Women make this mistake with men far too often. They end up choosing the man who pretends to be “all that”, when in fact he really isn’t. When in fact he is anything but. And they end up paying the price every time. It’s not until much later in life that women begin to change in their attitude. And in many cases I believe they end up unhappy either way because as is so often the case with many of us, it’s all about us!

Stop worrying about the world, You’re not responsible for it!

Do you give a d*** about what I think or feel question do come I’ll start giving the d*** about what you think and feel -how does that sound!

Some people believe in respecting people only after they feel they’ve been respected, not before. Some people believe in giving respect only after it has been earned.

When we take from awhile and don’t give back to it, when we take from a well and don’t give it a chance to replenish itself, eventually runs dry and sometimes irreparable damage ensues. It’s the same with much of anything in life and relationships are no exception. Notice how your partner reacts when you replenish and build them up as opposed to sucking them dry or neglecting them.

When struggling through life coma when struggling through your own issues of the past come a great partner means everything in that quest or journey. I know the difference now between a good partner and a bad partner-this wasn’t always the case!

GOD doesn’t strike his children down every time they hurt each other-what good parenthood?

Isn’t that what we did when we drank karma tried to drown out the world and feelings about it and our interactions with it and it’s victimization of us and our victimization of it? In sobriety we have to not let the world get into our heads. But we need to do so in a healthy manner. When it does get in our heads we have to deal with it in a healthy manner unlike the wind which we dealt with it by drinking and drugging and acting out.

We have to protect ourselves from debilitating thoughts focus on both the inside and the world around us.

People not being aware can keep them in places they shouldn’t be for a very long time, this includes our relationships Awarenesses and realizations are everything to us -and yet so elusive. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Are we dictating fate or is fate dictating us?

You think just because it’s the way the game is played that it excuses immoral or unethical behavior?

More time with God less time with the world 👍👍

While it’s true that some things in sobriety we need to learn how to deal with, some things we need to heal from, other things we need to learn to forgive, other things we need to learn how to avoid. *And many things we need to avoid repeating. **We have in each of us a “RESEVOIR” that is everchanging & finite WE MUST CONSTANTLY BE MINDFUL OF AND MAINTAIN!

If JESUS needed hours in prayer with “HIS HEAVENLY FATHER” and we who are so weak, lackluster in our devotion [and love], is it any wonder we fall prey so easily?

GOD as I understand GOD; not as I would have HIM be!

People don’t rebel against changes they prefer -but what if your neighbor does? Doesn’t that mater TO YOU?

It’s better to become love then to receive love. When you are love, you respond as such under any and all conditions because you have no ther recourse!

I believe GOD cares about what’s on our hear first, and what comes out of our mouths second!

“OVERINDULGENCE”

It’s what GOD does; not what I do that is most important! Most pertinent!🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

“UHM” is for people whose brains work slow or are uhnfocused.

It takes all of us to make a complete human-being!

When you begin to be sick and tired of “the real problem” 👍👍👍 SELF… AMONG OTHER THINGS

Over time I get strong & more sane [less apt to create more & deeper problems].

“GENTLE” on my mind. What a term; concept!

As consumers we send messages to Corporate America all the time, they pick up on those messages and raise their prices. They don’t care about our attitudes or our grumbling they care about our actions. “Oh we don’t want to pay these prices [attitude], but we need them [actions]. Do you have any idea how many things they’ve convinced you and me we need that we really, really don’t? 90% of the [financial] system is being supported by things we don’t actually need! WE NEED TO START SENDING A DIFFERENT SORT OFMESSAGE TO CORPORATE AMERICA TJROUGH OUR ACTIONS NOT JUST OUR ATTITUDES IF WE WANT THINGS TO COME BACK DOWN TO NORMAL AGAIN!

We should have a system in this country where if you don’t get the service in the product that you are paying for then they screw the amount of money that they’re gonna get paid for. But then people are gonna be running around getting 100% satisfactory service and saying they’re only getting 50% so that they can only have to pay 50% because human beings take advantage like that. The bottom line is that the consumer is always the one that gets f*****. Any prices that get added to corporations budget end up falling on the shoulder of the consumer never the company.

90% of human beings have a potential addiction of some kind.

Just because you’ve been drinking doesn’t automatically mean you’re at fault.

Give very little way to the world

Is corporate America is always looking for indicators. And they will test Americans by throwing something out there. Once it works they start thinking about the next step trying to get more money thereafter. If they’ll swallow egg and maybe they’ll swallow bee. That’s the way it works. I mean doesn’t the cost of bags already come with the charge for the food and stuff we buy at Walmart? So why are they charging for bags now instead of not just including it in the cost of everything we’re paying for? The answer is because it’s an indicator. Information is more valuable than even Profit itself.

Whether we want to look at it that way or not, situation support us opportunities to learn things about our partners and increase or decrease our trust in them. Even if we’ve already made certain determinations beforehand.

There’s only one thing we should internalize completely-God! There’s only one thing we should internalize completely-God!

Human beings are all over the place, on both sides. That’s why men and women can’t match up for s***

…AND WAS BASING THE PRICES ON JCP QUALITY, NOT THE QUALITY WE BRINGIN’ STEVO -SO GOTSTA TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT!”

“It’s ok to “talk less”!

One gets so tired of life, even the little things start to irritate you!

“The world may not have been very good to you; but you can always be good to it! And as difficult as that may be to comprehend, it makes all the difference in the world!”

I think the 4(5) most difficult things in sobriety are:

● Living life on life’s terms*

● Forgiving one’s self

● Achieving long term sobriety

● Faith in GOD and acceptance of HIS plan on HIS terms**

● Practicing these principles in all our affairs* [with people who DO NOT]!

* This world is broken -so don’t expect it to work properly. It has been practically from the beginning. Alcoholics are not the only ones that are broken. The world has been almost from the beginning. I find it very interesting that we couldn’t make it through the 1st generation without defying GOD! ONCE YOU ARE THOROUGHLY CONVINCED OF SOMETHING, YOUR APPROACH, ATTITUDE, EVERYTHING ABOUT IT CHANGES. IN MATTERS WHERE YOU ARE HANGING ON FOR DEAR LIFE, EVEN YHE TINIEST BIT OF DOUBT CAN KEEP US FROM LIVING IN REALITY AND SEEING THINGS REALISTICALLY [ACCEPTING for example]!

** Mankind has rebelled against what is in his best interest from the very beginning!

Mankind does a terrible job of determining who is a risk and who is not. So much so, to the extent of being paranoid or completely self-serving/absorbed!

GOD grand sister abilities and we choose how to use them.

Wild animals that get going and can’t be stopped even after being severely injured. These are some of the worst kind of opponents for a human. There are even some humans this way. I met some pretty incredible human beings that can’t be stopped seemingly.

Based on our research, this stuff is worth a lot of money. I think the problem is finding someone who doesn’t want a rob us blind -because there’s no question of the tremendous value of these things. There’s 2 kinds of people in the world; honest people and everyone else. There are plenty of people out there in the world that would love to get this stuff for as little as possible rather than give us a fair price.👍👍👍👍👍

I remember going to a jewelry store and looking at a ring and then handing it back to the girl and her testing it. Doing so with every piece of jewelry she handed me and took back-how insulting!

GOD does all sorts of wonderful things for HIS children -HE wants us to start doing all sorts of wonderful things for each other though!

The more perfect something is the more way you can and should give to it while the more broken something is the less weight you can and should give to it. The world is a very broken place and anyone who gives a lot of weight to it is following a couriddled with pain and disappointment.

People are becoming more and more isolated in this country which is exactly what satan wants.

If you’re not gonna give any weight to God’s word then what are you going to give weight to? Man and a generation after generation after generation that maintains its own ever changing truth? One generation something’s in the next generation something’s out! Is that what you want to aspire to?

Amongst all the imperfections between ourselves we lose something. Or once we place ourselves among perfection, we then can more clearly see our own imperfections. Free from excuses and blaming and confusion.

For those of us who have lost the luster for the brokenness of life or who never really had it in their blood. I think I’m really angry of God for how he handles things. But it’s just on to me that it’s our fault for the way things are and God is simply doing the best you can with it. But once again [and I’m not included in this lot: For those of us who have lost the luster for the brokenness of life or who never really had it in their blood.

We’re either escaping life or trying to enhance it or alter it! This is what we do when we take drugs. So in sobriety should we be trying to do this as well through spiritual means? To some extent in some areas?

Man picks and chooses what he cares about and therefore is subject to scrutiny over just how much he really cares about anything. How can he claim to care about his fellow man when he picks and chooses carefully or not so carefully who he cares about more than the other. Who he cares about in doesn’t care about!

Back then during the zodiac it wasn’t common practice to arrest somebody just so you could yourself look good as a politician and keep your job. Why is the success rate of certain important no? Because a lot of it is fabricated.

☆☆☆☆☆ There’s 2 ways of looking at this thing?

■How much can I get the same things for?

■How much can I make off of these things? $200000 profit is $200000 profit no matter how you slice it! You want to turn down an opportunity to make 200000 because you think you should make 300000? Or because you think another opportunity will afford you 300000? $200000 is $200000. That’s arrogant thinking!

When the numbers are in your favorite you don’t need to know a lot. When the numbers are not in your favor you need to know a lot. You have to be smarter. When the numbers are in your favor you don’t have to be smarter necessarily. I’m talking about the struggle between rich and poor. But you do have to do something!

Ten men versus a thousand, who wins? That depends on who’s more organized, who’s more unified, who’s got a better plan.

☆☆☆☆☆ Other people are not going by eBay prices in order to sell their goods so why the h*** should we? You think Steve is over there selling his stuff based on prices on eBay? HELL NO!!!!! He’s selling that 12 g white gold 14 care chain for 3600. What do you think the Piaget is worth?

90% of what they’re selling in this country we don’t need and when the public wakes up to that fact finally…

Many things serve a purpose for a time by making man money, than they are discarded and forgotten. Turns out they weren’t really needed after than deserve man’s purpose monetarily.
