Purpose Driven Life

It has been sometime since I last wrote an entry on this site, but due to my sister-in-law, I am feeling creative. So I will like to dedicate this entry to she and her purpose driven life, because she is a Gem. :-)

Today's post is dedicated to random times in life that make the biggest changes for our future.



My last official post was in July of 2010, and I can truly say that what appeared to be huge obstacles two years ago have subsided to nuggets of wisdom in my noggin. Two years ago, I was still mourning the lost(break-up)(dwelling) of a loved one that I'd held so dearly to my heart, I'd also mourned the lost of a broken friendship and the frustration of living life as I knew it by myself. It was a damning affect on my self-esteem, because I honestly had no idea who I was without those people in my life. However, I am a firm believer in dying parts to create a new start. Parts of me had to completely die out in order for me to inhale fresh air again. I had to let go of that annoying pain of failure that I'd confused with concern in order to get to MY next step in my spiritual journey. I so wanted to lay in my sorrows though I had a valid reason, but it was killing my softly and I was ok with it, because of what I perceived my role to be in the situation. (Such an Aries)

I literally 'Set Fire to the Rain' and freed myself of a mental prison that only allowed me to indulge in acts of self-mutilation by simply jogging. Jogging in my neighborhood saved my life, and kept me focused on the overall picture. As the old saying goes "It's the little things that count most in life" and that could not be anymore true. We all have our golden roads to salvation, but it is ultimately our duties to find out what that road is. I was blindsided, left on the side of the road of my destined path, and then God spoke to me, told me to get up and jog until I found my way. Now two years later, I still jog to get the monkey off my back, but more importantly I make sure that I see and recognize people for who they are, receive their energy and if it does mesh with my energy then we don't have to force a pairing. We both or all can go on with our lives without disrupting the natural balance of harmony that God so effortless created.

If I could use any free form object to describe my attitude right now it would have to be a star. My presence is bright, because of the love that I feel with in. Walking with my back straight, head held high, I have already become closer to The One and it makes me beam with gladness. I shine not for attention, but as a beacon for my lost brothers and sisters of the world who's light has dimmed with passing time.

It feels good to be back.

We were once kings...

This entry is to all my African American brothers and sisters... Growing up in the south one tends to see life in a different way. Some will say that southerners' thought processes are slower than most, but we tend to fair better in life, or maybe that's my own personal opinion lol. One issue I will say that looms in the dark, no pun intended, is race. First off race in America is one of those issues that have not been discussed in a effective way... Still to this day is the race card is played, old wounds will resurface and hate still is the driving force behind any view point... Well instead of discussing who's right or wrong I would like to speak to my African American siblings, and ask some pertinent questions that just spin my mind sometimes... I've always had a hard time understanding why are we so hard on each other in a negative way? It's almost as if we have the inability to see people as they are... As a people we don't ever take the blame for the ...

What is it about past transgressions of the heart and mind, that binds us to situations that we've considered resolved? This entry is for the pure of heart, who feel that situations have tainted their souls in a sense, but the true redemption comes from acknowledging your position in the situation and moving on. Forgiveness is key... True character comes with experience, and in those experiences we see ourselves, truly for who we are; not what we describe. Living in this ever changing world can lead one to believe that old adages of wisdom have long died with the social norms of yesterday. However, as a developing human and adult, I've found that those old adages, if taken to heart, can absolve your life's of many hardships. What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us - Henry David Thoreau There will be many situations that will come to past, and are waiting in the future that must not change who we are internall...

What's it all about...

For the Alfie's of the world.... "Sometimes you have to ask yourself, what's it all about," simply stated by Alfie (played by Jude Law) in the 2000ish remake of the classic movie 'Alfie'. Many times I do ask myself that, "What's it all about? I ask myself this question daily, but not in the same context of the movie, more so on the level of breaking habits that can have you chasing your "Tail"; for lack of better words. I, like most red-blooded American men relish in chasing my "Tail" to a certain degree, because after all, isn't this what we were put on this Earth to do? Especially being young, with great looks and a sense of style, why not chase your "Tail" every now and then... Ok, I am wearing out the "Tail" reference, but you do understand where I am coming from, right?! As a young man, sometimes I FEEL I want more than just the immediate gratification of a quick lay, but there is always anothe...
