I don’t understand it, the greatest leaders throughout history were broken down into 2 types:

•Resoect and fear of…

•Admiralion and love for…

Which is the more effective of the 2? In the military I didn’t have admiration and love for my superiors -most certainly not during boot camp!

What is it with the swinging karma hip hop world we got going on in the United States these days? I’m not in the swinging! And I’m not in to hip hop! I’m into self-improvement, and creating a better world!

“You’ll never get there with a self-serving motive Rick!”

How do I say this regarding the will? It’s something of a contradiction but I’ll give it my best anyways. People don’t tend to get better, stronger, faster by acting upon their will.. The thing they desire moveh desire most in life. But the fact of the matter is they do. Otherwise they would not be able to get better, stronger, faster.But the fact of the matter is if we could do it while laying around eating donuts and chocolate all day long, most of us would. What’s my point? In order for most of us to get what we want out of life that is truly meaningful, as as opposed to truly satisfying, we have to act upon our secondary compulsions as opposed to our 1st ones.

If I appear to be needling on every little thing, harping on every every other… Just think about it for a moment, there’s not a sprinkling of human beings with issues on this planet here and there, every every single human being walking this planet has one or more issues they are struggling with within.

There are people in the world who are constantly thinking, amazing people in fact. The problem is, their line of thinking never seems to leave the Earth’s stratosphere perit’s always about earthly affairs, fully affairs, human affairs, conquests, accomplishments and so forth. I on the other hand, appear to have the opposite problem. I never appeared to conquer or accomplish much of anything in a worldly sense. 🤷‍♂️

There’s a difference between inspiration and perspiration. When man lacks inspiration, he tends to choose against that next step, perspiration! He forgets perspiration is only a spark, perspiration is the engine -and that man’s will is not solely dependent on inspiration-it’s BIGGER THAN THAT! Man’s will, in the pure sense, is not dependent upon food, shelter, or clothing; he has proven this time-and-time again!

All those years of false love, comma when you find the real thing ill thing you never let go of it! I can’t imagine finding true love with 10 different women come having all of them in the forefront of my mind for the remainder of my life. I guess I should think God..

It doesn’t matter if we find a different reef source to pump man with karma to make a profit and to exploit… It isn’t just a matter of limited admitted calm or exhausted resources which is still a very real issue in our world, it is what this trend is doing to man’s soul bull that is the greatest threat of all!

There has been growing international concern about Peng, a former top-ranked doubles player, since she disappeared from the public eye after accusing a former top Chinese official of sexual assault.

HELL MOST OF US DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT’S REALLY GOING ON WITH OUR NEIGHBOR ACROSS THE STREET -it’s the intrigue that gets most of us going with stories above, not concern! Since our neighbors seemingly hold little intrigue, in most cases, our level of interest [not concern] is minimal. Stories like the one above get us out of ourselves for a bit. Or make us feel something for a moment in time -until the story comes along and does the same! The fact of the matter is most of us don’t even have time to properly tend to our own children let alone be genuinely concerned with somebody halfway around the world. And even if it were the case, don’t you think we would do better to tend to the people under our own roofs which we are responsible for! With a lifestyle that we lead here in America, the fact of the matter is that without these stories coming through periodically, scratching the surface on our humanity, we would simply be walking drones. It feels the need. A need within us, and a need with a newspaper who report these things. It’s tiring observing these things and writing about them; the emptiness; the pretense; the lack of knowing one’s self and thus recognizing the truth behind… … … … … … … … … … SO MANY LIES, SO MANY UNTRUTHS, SO MANY VEILS, SO MUCH DENIAL!!!!!!!!!

Sadly, if there isn’t anything in it for us, in most cases we show little or no interest or effort [that’s what it is to be human, that’s what it is to be selfish]. That’s the beauty of love, it has nothing to do with us, and everything to do with the object of that love -which few of us truly understand in this country -especially now that stocks are up… We’ve lost the element of necessity to love and care in a big way in this country! Like Jesus said, “The world is going to grow colder” -AND IT HAS! And most of us are just going along with it! How can you do anything about something if you can’t even see it, If you’re unwilling to acknowledge it!*

Why make attempts at being connected with someone halfway around the world when we’re not even connected with the people surrounding us at the coffee shops, at the mall, in some cases even within our own homes? The United States is a disconnected society. And we’re concerned about a tennis star in China?

“Yeah, some of us; but not all of us!” 😔 PROVE ME WRONG! NOTHING WOULD MAKE GOD HAPPIER THAN FOR TODAYS POST TO BE ALL WRONG!

How does it make you feel knowing that satan said “man is easy to trick, to manipulate, to tempt”?*

There’s a difference between concern and interest!

*It is true, satan has compromised the gifts God is given to meven to me to fulfill his plan in the world -even though I am merely one small part of it. He has exploited my ego, my fears, my defiance, my self-will… Turned much of it to his own benefit -I’m ashamed to say!

Who is more dangerous, a person with nothing, and an attitude of nothing to lose, or a person with everything, and an attitude of nothing to lose?

How much do we really care about each other??? We’ll come without any real template template in view…. The answer to that that question is rather ambiguous/dubious. We hear stories of peoples devotion to others, and the extraordinary lengths they go to. Now using that as a template, most of us look pretty sad!!!

“No vorries Budd! Fine machine… I noticed two things that should be killing business, taxes and ridicules shipping rates!! Sooner or later people are going to grow tired of a system basing prices on what it can get away with rather than what is sensible; the shipping is almost as much as the machine!! Kept running into same issue with a weedeater on here. It was cheaper (or came out about same) to buy it at Lowe’s by the time you pay the shipping. With a warranty and a return policy. The system in America -pardon expression- SUCKS!!!! BLEEDING US ALL DRY”. Email to an individual selling on ebay

Stop wasting your life waiting, and start living your life living! If it happens, it happens!

People who have mastered relationships have the best of it and the worst of it..

Some people are great at uncovering the opportunities surrounding them while others are seemingly oblivious.

To dispense with any ambiguity in future, I believe myself to basically be a decent human being with some very bad character traits [perhaps most learned -the result of a jaded lifestyle early in life]. But I must concede to the argument that something within me personally, took rather well, eagerly to these traits -hence, not all with my history latch on so vigorously to negative traits such as I. As my sponsor in Alcoholics Anonymous pointed out to me it out to me some 29 years ago, “You’re in the middle Richard” meaning not the worst, not the best!

It’s a terrible thing not to be able to give the person or the people you love what they need. But sometimes we can learn.

If you wish to make the rules or change the rules, in many instances you have to rise to the top 1st.

Much of these writings are perhaps a manifestation of the subconscious, the way God-made me. For example, many of the writings talk about unity and it’s vital importance in turning around the human race. Which in part, probably manifested itself long ago in in a line from the song “We Are the World”, where it states “Change can only come, when we stand together as one” [among other experiences throughout my early life]. The same perhaps holds true for most, if not all writings which have come to me over the past 30+ years. Some people process, formulate numbers, equations… simply, my mind do so with scenarios, concepts triggered by, based upon experiences. 🤷‍♂️Voila!

I’m gonna try something interesting, I’m going to ask godo ask God to point out to me each each of my 7 deadly sins by flipping a coin. Heads will be yes and tails will be no. I will start 1st by writing each of them down below. Once written, I will attempt to flip a coin for each.. No no, I will flip the coin 7 times spoiled 7 times and document each one as heads or tails, Then I will write down the 7 deadly sins in the order they are spelled out in accordance with The Bible? Then we shall see.

1. HEADS

2. HEADS

3.HEADS (SEE PIC 11/21 7:47ish)

4. HEADS (SEE PIC 11/21 17:50)

5. TAILS (SEE PIC 11/21 17:52)

6. HEADS (SEE PIC 11/21 17:53)

7. HEADS (SEE PIC 11/21 17:55)

6 out of 7 I am Blatantly guilty of 😔

OK, now I will fill them in from top to bottom In accordance with the order spoken in The Bible just as stated prior to flipping the coin for each. There are different orders of them depending on where you look. In my case let it suffice to say that I am pretty much human in every regard!( Nothing exceptional here 😏

JESUS wasn’t sent here to solve our problems -HE was sentt here to show us how to solve our problems. To show us what the real problem is to begin with! Well, HE did open up the gates for us! DIED FOR OUR SINS! ASK HIS HEAVENLY FATHER TO FORGIVE, AND TO GRANT US HIS DIVINE MERCY! WHAT MORE COULD ONE POSSIBLY ASK!

When you see a long standing feud, you cannot get an accurate outlook by by stepping in midway-forwards; you have to go back to the very beginning.

When dealing with troubled or problematic people, it is crucial that you have a clear cut understanding of what is and isn’t important, what matters and what doesn’t matter, what is of grave importance and what is of little importance! This will greatly reduce your anxiety and frustrations. Most times, when we get angry or frustrated at people -it’s because of things of little or no importance to God, but of grave importance to us personally. This I believe, and base upon personal experience! Which is one reason Jesus really never lost his temper in spite of so many trying experiences with we human beings. Also, because he had the sense to know that anger, frustration solved nothing!

We have all faced situations in varying degrees, whereby we are forced to choose between our perceived welfare and doing what we know to be right. Choosing our own welfare versus the welfare of others. In situations like this, it always comes down to us or others.

Some people will actually put down negative reviews for job opportunities which in reality are fantastic. Humans are fully capable of doing this, thus trying to ward off any competition.

That is one of my/GOD’S saving graces, I’can be in error over here, and be completely right over there [look for this in any errors you may find [It may be wrong with regard to the forest -but surely not from the trees; or visa versa as the case may be].
