Your gift to the world,
Current mood: creative
Category: Goals, Plans, Hopes
Everybody Knows, You can’t be all things to all people. You can’t do all things at once. You can’t do all things equally well. You can’t do all things better than everyone else. Your humanity is showing just like everyone else’s.
So, You have to find out who you are, and be that. You have to decide what comes first, and do that. You have to discover your strengths, and use them. You have to learn not to compete with others, because no one else is in the contest of "being you".
Then, You will have learned to accept your own uniqueness. You will have learned to set priorities and make decisions. You will have learned to live with your limitations. You will have learned to give yourself the respect that is due. And you’ll be a most vital mortal.
Believe, That you are a wonderful, unique person. That you are a once-in all history event. That it’s more than a right, it’s your duty, to be who you are. That life is not a problem to solve, but a gift to cherish. And you’ll be able to stay one up on what used to get you down. .. --> HTML Markup endspan -->
Everything happens for a reason

Category: Life
Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, they serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become.
You never know who these people may be; your roommate, your neighbor, professor, long lost friend, lover or even a complete stranger who, when you lock eyes with them, you know that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.
And sometimes things happen to you and at the time they seem horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles you would never have realized your potential, strength, will power of heart.
Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments or true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of the soul.
Without these small tests, if they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smooth paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. Safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless.
The people you meet who affect your life and successes and downfalls you experience, they are the ones who create who you are. Even the bad experience can be learned from... Those lessons are the hardest and probably the most important ones.
If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart... forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart.
If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you would have never seen or felt without them.
Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again.
Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen, let yourself fall in love, break free and set your sights high.
You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it.
Imagine you were going skydiving for the first time. Your heart would be racing as the instructor gives you final instructions before you jump from the plane.
You ask an important question, " Are you sure this parachute will work?"
Now, which answer would you prefer your instructor to give: "I believe it will work." or "I know it will work."
The word belief implies question. By definition there is a degree of uncertainty. Think about it, if you believe with certainty, then you wouldn’t say, "I believe", you would say, "I KNOW".
To know is to be certain. There is no question in knowing. There can be no doubt found when you KNOW something. Take time to analyze your internal dialog and perspectives. Do the words you use imply empowerment or disempowerment? I’m reminded of a story I once heard about a community.
This was a test between believing and knowing.
The story goes like this...
Several years ago, a small farming community was experiencing a terrible drought. The leaders of the community called a prayer meeting in hope of everyone attending and holding a group prayer for rain.
One man was in attendance with his small son. As everyone was praying, the small boy reached up and tugged his father’s shirt to ask, "Daddy, what is everyone doing?" The man explained that everyone was praying for rain and then went back to his prayer.
The boy looked around for a few more minutes and was puzzled. He tugged again on his dad’s shirt and asked, "Daddy, if everyone is here to pray for rain, why didn’t anyone bring an umbrella?"
Think about it...
Do you believe you can reach your goals or do you KNOW you can?
It really is that simple my friends, YES we have been decieved by organised religion by people who seek wealth, power and control but who is stopping you from finding God on your own??? No one but you.
Its one small step you take and its really easy when YOU make it easy......I am not here to sell you anything, God does not need a sales person to sell the truth. Remember that one thing from this whole message....GOD DOES NOT NEED TO SELL HIS MESSAGE FOR PROFIT!!!!
To understand the message of our creator you just need to read ALL the holy books and YES the Koran is the final message and continuation of the message of Jesus and the prophets before him, trust me ...read it and see for yourself....its free and no one is gonna force you one way or the other to become anything lol.
It saddens me that we are suppressed to believe the lies about Islam, jews, christians and muslims are all children of Abraham, he prophecised many of the things we see and also built the holy mosque of mecca. Yes the prophet Abraham built the site that mulsims pray too.
So if Islam is evil then you also mock the word of jesus, abraham, noah, jonah and many more. People can be in denial all they want but the Koran is really the continuation of the SAME message.
I see thousands of people selling their theology and seminars to show people how to seek the truth....mmm one simple question I ask myself everytime.....did Jesus ever sell the message for profit??? Did he charge for any of his sermons or was the last supper a VIP only event lol.
Did Jesus have a publishing deal or pay per view seminars lol, what alot of nonsense!! I also do not pretend to be a prophet or a messenger of God, I am just a guy who has walked the path of sin and the path of truth and see the light and I also do not judge others for I know that sin is very tempting, I just dislike the hypocrites lol.
C’mon if you’re gonna sin then do it openly and honestly and say I’m here to make a buck out of mindless morons cos god knows there are enough out there lol. So hear me clearly I am not even mocking the capitalists, heck yeah make money I get that we all need to eat, but at least keep it real!
Religion is NOT a business and thats where it went wrong!
I am also sick of athiests and there little PR game...how come whenever an athiest is in a near death experience they always whisper "dear lord help me" lol. That has always made me laugh, cos surely if there is no God then lets at least sin like there is no tomorrow....I mean why not have the ultimate anarchy party and do whatever the hell you want then, why even have morals???
Cos it won’t matter what you did when you die then.....surely?
Exactly.........deep down they just want to hold on enough to belief cos they are not sure either lol, so again I simply say believe if you are gonna believe and if not then go wild with sin and commit every sin lol, have some fun at least, there really is no middle ground....thats just boring and cowardly!
Finally for the few that still believe the bible has not been changed a thousand times over, re edited and parts removed, check the early scriptures and the stories that the early church leaders deliberatley wanted excluded!!!
Again I am not here to judge anyone or anyones beliefs but I am suspicious of why people change and edit the word of God!!!! and I am shocked that millions bought the new product lol.
God does not require proof readers and translation work should always be done with meticulous care, don’t believe the hype and don’t use the negatives to say that there is no God cos of your own negative experience of religion, for that is all it is.......YOUR own bad experience.
If you had joined a bad gym, you would not say working out is bad and walk away from it.....sorry to sound negative but thats a quiter in my books....you would seek a gym that gave you what you wanted.
Find God by yourself, trust me on one thing.....there is a creator of all that we see, start from there and you will find peace and love and the answers to your questions....and not cos I am telling you either lol. You will find it for yourself!
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw out anybody.
Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!
Take me away!

The shining light Another day turns into Eternal fire Waited all my life Take me away A million miles away from here Take me away Find a place for you and me
You’re taking me higher High as I could be Take me away Forever you and me Take me away! The tears I’ve cried
I’ve kept them all inside
I needed time
To make up my mind
Take me away A million miles away from here Take me away Find a place for you and me
You’re taking me higher High as I could be Take me away Forever you and me Take me away! A million miles away from here Take me away Find a place for you and me You’re taking me higher High as I could be Take me away Forever you and me Take me away!
It still brings back memories to me everytime, even now!
After a thing has been done, everybody is ready to declare it easy. But before it has been done, it is called impossible. One reason why people fear to embark upon great enterprises is that they see all the difficulties at once. They know they could succeed in the initial tasks, but they shrink from what is to follow. Yet 'a thing begun is half done.' Moreover the surmounting of the first barrier gives strength and ingenuity for the harder ones beyond. Mountains viewed from a distance seem to be unscalable. But they can be climbed, and the way to begin is to take the first upward step. From that moment the mountains are less high. As Hannibal led his army across the foothills, then among the upper ranges, and finally over the loftiest peaks and passes of the Alps, or as Peary pushed farther and farther into the solitudes that encompass the North Pole, so can you achieve any purpose whatsoever if you heed not the doubters, meet each problem as it arises, and keep ever with you the assurance It Can Be Done.
Somebody said that it couldn't be done, But he with a chuckle replied That 'maybe it couldn't,' but he would be one Who wouldn't say so till he'd tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn't be done, and he did it.
Somebody scoffed: 'Oh, you'll never do that; At least no one ever has done it'; But he took off his coat and he took off his hat, And the first thing we knew he'd begun it. With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin, Without any doubting or quiddit, He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn't be done, and he did it.
There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done, There are thousands to prophesy failure; There are thousands to point out to you one by one, The dangers that wait to assail you. But just buckle in with a bit of a grin, Just take off your coat and go to it; Just start to sing as you tackle the thing That 'cannot be done,' and you'll do it.
If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you. If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master; If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat these two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
Open your eyes to the truth, lets aim for peace in the middle east.
Stop the Occupation
No legal argument
Open your eyes to the truth
Ask yourself, how would you reclaim your home, land, and community, if no one was listening. It's not politics, it's really simple and you know the answer as well, freedom fighter/terrorist? Stop violent abusive occupation and give people the chance of a free, loving lifestyle to educate and protect their children and families in. Regardless of race, creed or religion all people seek peace and tranquility. Give them peace and watch violence, anger and hatred disappear like a bad dream. The right to a homeland does not give you the right to take someone else's.
The truth
Killing us one by one
I saw this originally as a news clip and wept for hours at the absolute cruelty of gunning down a father protecting his son, who was killed first, it took me a long time to get rid of the anger and hatred that I felt for the people who did this, but I did, and now I pray that they find God and may God forgive them for forgetting that genocide or murder is not an answer.
Men, women and children are killed every day in Palestine yet we don't hear this side on the news, only when the anger rises do we get a story about another suicide bomber. I DO NOT TAKE SIDES, NEITHER AM I TRYING TO JUSTIFY KILLINGS IN THE MIDDLE EAST ON EITHER SIDE, BUT UNTILL YOU HAVE EQUALITY OF LIFE, LET ALONE EQUALITY OF WEAPONS THEN ONE SIDE WILL ALWAYS RESORT TO THE "BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY" TACTICS, so let us not be harsh with our words when stone throwers turn there anger into something else.
How do you tell a man holding his dead two year old daughter not to take revenge? We have to speak up now as a Global Community and stop the killings on both sides. Peace, spread some love.
We stand alone under flags of disjoined countries Manipulated by leaders prepensely dividing humanity
Under grey skies filled with stealth bombers of peace That loom over stark patriotic lies
In a war torn world marred by greed Littered with corporate profiteers of death
Who punch holes in our wall of peace With their iron fists of war
Brick by brick, they're trying to knock it down As we fumble with words and stumble over weapons
In shopping malls brimming with sweatshop goods That are bought with oil soaked greenbacks
While bloodied bodies float in the sands of Palestine Rotting flesh picked at by hungry vultures
Outraged Umms search amongst the carnage Heart wrenched, wailing out for lost sons and daughters
Above them angels with crippled wings won't look down Their eyes are shamed by what they've left behind
Surely no Medal of Honor pinned upon their dead bodies will stop familial tears They will flow freely from Mothers' eyes who are left behind to bury their children
With scorned hands that pray for an end to these non-sensical wars Behind veils of mourning that mask their sunken war torn eyes
"Be the change that you want to see in the world."
Peace and Freedom?
Israel and Palestine
The Middle East is the cradle of our civilization. This is an important core ingredient to our civilization. It is our past, our present and it will determine our future. The way that humanity deals with the middle east will determine how humanity deals with all of its issues: human rights, environment, weapons manufacturing, war, and ultimately how we obtain peace and prosperity.
THIS IS OUR HUMANITY, and every body, every life, every soul, has to go through what can only be desrcibed as a birthing process. What will be birthed? A universal environmental accord - a universal disarmament - global unions - an equalitarian society ????
If you want me to be really cynical, at least the early Europeans who colonised America and Australia had the sense to kill of the indigenous peoples of those lands in the millions before making new countries. Can't we stop killing one another and give peace a chance.
