Organic Thoughts

       Be a witness someone said, so the next man won’t walk blind, but in my eyes the process feels incomplete like 15 minus 9, or a highway without a sign, for it was on the 7^th day He rested, but when logic forces me back to Earth the roads are still congested. Vision vandals rewrittin’ the message in my own screenplay, ad libin and tryna play a part telling me the he say she say. It’s like the more I seek the target the more I hear the arrows coming, you are what you eat, so pack light to reach the summit. No shortcuts to the peak, and If you waste your time searchin’ you’ll be in great company, everyone takes Easy Street. It’s right next to the corner you once cut while in a hurry, the idea had a ring to it, now to that habit I pronounce you married. I rid my thought process of processed thoughts and ordinary, cut out the middle man found extraordinary. Without a witness the time spent was never bought, keep it light and simple with Organic thoughts.

Great Expectations

Are you good enough to get mad?

“Not doubt, certainty is what drives one mad” -Nietzsche

                   Robert Rosenthal performed an experiment in a school one year to disclose the extent expectations have on people. He had the principal of the school call in three teachers into the office at the beginning of a school year. These teachers were told that they had been chosen as the best teachers in the entire school based on performance tests and likeability from the students. Because of this they were told that three classes were set aside for them consisting of only the brightest students in the school. They then told the teachers that they weren’t allowed to tell the students of this special accommodation in fears of discrimination suits. The teachers were told to use the same teachings, curriculum and that they expected great things to come of this......Click Here for more

“The Man”

“As a rule, men worry more about what they can't see than about what they can”. -

Julius Caesar

  

                    The reasons behind this can be attributed to many things, but one reason stands out in my mind and is kind of personal to me. My mother was diagnosed with Breast cancer a year ago, right around the time of Breast cancer month. My next-door neighbor had died from breast cancer two month’s prior. With this entire situation happening I had no choice but to be aware of this tragedy that is attacking women at an alarming rate. My mother was able to recover. During a long car ride with my brother and I, my father sneaks in that his doctor informed him that he might have prostate cancer. Now I was facing two parents with a deadly disease, and thinking back, I had more information about breast cancer than I did about prostate cancer. There were a couple commercials about prostate cancer, but no prostate cancer month as far as I know, nothing else about it. When I was aware of my mother having breast cancer, I knew statistics about it, there was a month devoted to raising money to help the cure, people were wearing pink at sports events, I knew so much just by watching TV........

Why Do You Still Love Us?... Attraction!

“What makes electricity? ... A positive and negative energy”

                

             If someone isn’t attracted to you with his or her first impression, there’s nothing you can do about it. If someone is attracted to you with their first impression, there is nothing they can do about it. Whatever it would take for you to reverse these actions is simply not worth the time end effort. .......

If These Walls Could Talk

          

         
              The tea kettle was boiling with an elixir so potent it made the paint chip. Floors creaked from constantly measuring the weight of matter, and the pressure of high expectations sometimes made the ceiling cry. "We're not movin" she said as the appraiser downplayed the value of the house that had walls strong enough to handle the tyrant outrages of four adolescent boys fighting to become men and prayers cried loud and Sunday hymns and door slammed so tight evil could never enter in. The shadows in the yard changed as branches fell from fit's of rage, but God said that it would never rain again for 40 nights and 40 days. This house was no Ark, but sparked by an embark, few thought would ever stand the test of time. "Be patient" became the motto as four brothers packed the carload, there was always something about being in the front seat. With water in one hand, and a glance at some sand, she knew they had the tools to form their own concrete. "Don't be fooled, play the game, their resources are the same", filled their minds when the clouds blocked their shine. For she knew of the tricks, manipulations, conflicts the same brew that made the paint chip. It's not the gloss in the color, or the mood that you get, or a picture hanging high in a frame. If these walls could talk, they'd refused to be covered, cause a great story could be told through pain.

Untitled (Reader Requested Topic)

　

          No one can see the scars left behind. Her I.D. only shows where she is headed. She hopes they see it too, so they can quit asking about her job or purpose. She’s running out of excuses trying to explain each step she takes. She knows she’s on the right path, they may laugh, but she’s just executing a plan that was given before birth. Her I.D. symbolizes her purpose and she somehow gets satisfaction by just knowing she has a job to do. The superintendent, often reminds her, just like her superiors once did, that she can only become a pawn in someone elses chess game and if she’s lucky the king will put a ring turning the queen into more than “That Thing”. These morals were always taught by those she looks up to and have been stained in her brain since birth and shadow her around and become even more evident when the sun is at it’s brightest. Its gotten to the point where she sees it being spoken through other people and even situations. Its as if everyone’s in on the joke. She stares at her I.D. which says that she‘s fully capable of completing the job by herself. No man required. Dreams start contradicting each other. Something about the super doesn’t make sense. Failed attempts at the job make her wonder if she should change the description on the I.D. Chaos ensues, until she remembers what got her through the last time this happened. She knows that it’s drive that brings her pleasure and a voice deep within says “Ebony go”. The chains that locked her into that dark place of confusion break loose. “Ebony go”. She needs inspiration to keep going faster than she can say her name, so she just chants “E-go”. She now has a defense against anything that would even attempt to embarrass her. She found the key to success. Her “ego” is no longer just a chant, but can now be seen in her clothes and material possessions. Her ‘ego” is now a force field, and anyone that doesn’t know her agenda now, she would be glad to let them know. Friends become intimidated, everyone else irritated, no one understands. “Better them than me”. She says “Understand what I’m fightin’ against and you’ll understand my ‘ego’”.......PART 2 COMING SOON.

Love

          

             "When love first happens, the individuals are giving each other energy unconsciously and both people feel buoyant and elated. That's the incredible high we call being ‘in love.’ Unfortunately, once they expect this feeling to come from another person, they cut themselves off from the energy in the universe and begin to rely even more on the energy from each other--only now there doesn’t seem to be enough and so they stop giving each other energy and fall back into their dramas in an attempt to control each other and force the other's energy their way.                                        — James Redfield (The Celestine Prophecy)

The Man Who Didn't Believe In Love

                  I WANT TO TELL YOU A VERY OLD STORY ABOUT the man who didn’t believe in love. This was an ordinary man just like you and me, but what made this man special was his way of thinking: He thought love doesn’t exist. Of course, he had a lot of experience trying to find love, and he had observed the people around him. Much of his life had been spent searching for love, only to find that love didn’t exist.
            Wherever this man went, he used to tell people that love is nothing but an invention of the poets, an invention of religions just to manipulate the weak mind of humans, to have control over humans, to make them believe. He said that love is not real, and that’s why no human could ever find love even though he might look for it......Click here for more.

Daily Motivations

“Problems cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them.”- Albert Einstein

　

                 The world isn’t getting worse. God isn’t punishing his creation. it’s the thoughts you thought you had tapping you on your shoulder, its just a different view of the same situation. Energy is never created or destroyed, It’s just the tough YOU circling back around giving the feeling of intimidation, now all of a sudden you don’t want to be tough no more. It’s the happy YOU represented by someone else excited about the promotion, but you cant promote it to the ones devoted to your cause, and the pause created is the perfect habitat for envy. Ill prepared for the boomerang you threw to come back. Defenseless against your own creation. iRobot. The game is played within the same 5 inches between the ears, no matter how inflated the head gets. The vacant esteem we were born with is now vacant with the introduction of highs’ and low. The Creator created creation in order to continue creating, yet have the power to restrain without blame. Life isn’t hard. Life is.

Notice

      I had to remove the labels at the bottom of each writing asking whether you agreed, or was it good etc.  I'am not sure as to why I put it there in the first place, because I never really liked pat on the backs anyways.  The purpose of the blog is to create thought, whether you convey it to me or not, but just to open a cavity in your brain that allows you to think outside of your normal thought pattern.  Keep reading, thanks for visiting.

Let's Eat

         

               If life was a bowl of fish or roasted almonds, I wouldn't of made it to my first birhtday.  There isn't enough epidural pens in the world to stimulate the adrenaline needed to fight the antigens that would eventually take over.  Lucky for me, the bowl of life can be altered into a smorgasbord, as some say "Life is what you make it".  In order to make it year after year, I found it necessary to restrict those things from the diet and opt for foods that aided the immune system and didn't cause the allergic reaction fish and nuts would.  As life advances for us all, it's not a matter of what we eat.  Even if we're not in the best shape, we know what to eat in order to bring us back to the ideal.  What happens when we get so far along and lose the will to eat.

              

             Hunger gives power to vision.  Don't believe me ask a person that fasts.  At times you must go without and restrict yourself in order to understand what you're feeding and whether you should be feeding it.  An appetite for destruction could lead to much more than "The Itis". An increased appetite is a side effect, just like a pregnant woman eats for two, you're likely in the embryonic stages of birthing a new stage in life.   In order to gain, you must change your eating habits.  In order to gain you must have the attitude that your sight means more to you than the relationships with your friends.  You must risk having a vision and losing friends, than to be blind with them.  You got to be able to risk the intimidation factor of having people around you that know more or better that causes you to read more and understand.  If you want to lose, be the smartest person you know and surround yourself with those with lowered expectations.  Be the person everyone looks to for answers and have them accept that your point of views are the end all be all. 

                        3 Basic Types of People You’ll Interact With In Order To Inherit Destiny.

1. Confidants- You will have very few of these. They are into you for who you are. Whether your up or down, right or wrong, you can open up to these people without fearing a judgment.. They are with you unconditionally. They are intimately intertwined in your life. If you have 2 or 3 of these people in your lifetime you are blessed. You’ll never inherit your kingdom unless you find your confidant. You cant be David without Jonathan. Need to be around people that can feed you, so you can feed someone else. They are there to make sure you reach your destiny.

2. Constituents- They’re not into you, they are for what you are for. As long as you are for what they are for they will walk with you, work with you and labor. They are not with you, but what you have and what you are for and will leave you for somebody else that can advance they’re agenda. Typically when you fall enamored with these people, they will leave you for someone else that can push they’re agenda. If you’re not careful you will mistake your constituents for your confidants.


3. Commrades- They aren’t for you, or for what you are for, but are against what you are against. They team up with you to fight a greater enemy. They are only with you until the job is done, and chances are whenever that teamwork is no longer there, they will use that same negative attention towards you. They are like scaffolding. They come into your life to fulfill a purpose, once the purpose is done, the scaffolding is removed, yet the structure still stands.

*Be careful who you tell your dream too. Don’t be surprised when the constituents and comrades desert you once you reveal you’re dream. Constituents will try and steal your dream and try to complete it by themselves, comrades wont support it because they were never for what you were for.

Daily Motivations

John 15:18

"If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first".

"Adjustment"

                Made in central Ohio, Joe McVicker created a white goo and used it to remove soot from wallpaper caused by old fashioned heating.  With the invention of  electric heating there was no longer a need for the soft clay-like goo and he was going bankrupt.  His sister, Kay Zufall, noticed kids in her nursery liked playing with it rather than modeling clay and suggested he color it and call it Play Doh.  This is just another example that "We're all just one small adjustment away from making our lives work".  From the movie "How Do You Know When".

Advice From Rabbi Nachman

            All physical medicines are bitter, and the same is true in the case of the soul. The soul is healed through bitterness. You may have to overcome many obstacles and endure much suffering in order for your soul to be healed. With physical illnesses there are times when the body becomes so weak that the invalid cannot bear the bitterness of the medicines. The doctors despair of ever curing him and simply abandon him. Similarly, when a person falls under the influence of sin -- which is the sickness of the soul -- he may be unable to bear the bitterness of the remedy. There may seem to be no hope for him at all. But God is filled with love. When He sees that a person wants to return to Him but hasn't the strength to bear the bitter remedies made necessary by his own sins, then He takes pity and casts all his sins aside to save him excessive suffering. God sends him only as much as he can bear. Many people find that as soon as they try to return to God and follow the ways of the righteous, they suddenly encounter obstacles and hardship from every direction. At times it is impossible to bear the bitterness and overcome the barriers. There have been cases where people were so discouraged that they fell back into their old ways, God forbid. But a person who truly desires to draw closer to God should have faith that whatever the bitterness or suffering he has to endure, everything is being sent to him out of love. If the suffering were really in proportion to the magnitude of his sins it would have been far greater. He would have been much too weak to bear it and he would have been totally lost. But God in His love only sends as much bitterness and suffering as a person can bear. This much he must bear, and it is certainly within his power to endure it (27:7). -Fram Azamra- Torah For Our Time

Coming This Week- Exploring The Mind of Malcolm Gladwell



         Malcolm Gladwell is a writer that deals with psychological factors.  He explores the fine lines of details, as to why things or people become successful and how social epidemics start.  He is a very interesting speaker and has helped me with my books.  In this clip he translates the maturation process of spaghetti sauce into how we should think when trying to market a product and ourselves.

Connected

             

              What is it that makes the eyes open after a night of subconscious thoughts that possibly took you away from the stresses you dealt with the day before. What makes the blind walk when the thought of another step wont help his chances of enjoying the scenery that dictates the moods of those around him. What makes the deaf smile when they can never hear the music that blends the lines of culture that many cling too in order to be understood. The universal drum that beats without the essence of time vibrates through us all carrying different rhythms of motivation sending out a message of passion and enthusiasm not always translatable to everyone in proximity, but bringing those with awareness to this pursuit closer, people helping others who are closer, and those helping those who can’t relate.

          A Roman divorced from his wife, being highly blamed by his friends, who demanded, "Was she not chaste? Was she not fair? Was she not fruitful?" holding out his shoe, asked them whether it was not new and well made. "Yet," added he, "none of you can tell where it pinches me.                                                                                                                                         -Plutarch



Classroom Thoughts

          
            I knew the answer many a times, yet passed up the chance to answer to keep sketchin’ on my blank piece of paper that took me miles away from any timed mile, bench press, or linear thought that was to teach me all this was supposed to add up to a sum. The blank canvas quickly turned into a collection of abstract objects which turned into a thought about a house that shadowed a beach out somewhere in a place I couldn’t pronounce, then I turned that paper into a plane I imagined would take me there. The only problem was the thought of if the paper plane could withstand the invisible opposition some call the wind and land in the trash cause it was another wasted thought and the teacher was wrappin’ up the lesson of widgets and supply and demand. I shoot, I miss, but the plane stayed together now on the ground to be swept away and disgarded. I should of paid attention, but the professor doesn’t understand that my brain has been trained to think best when my pulse is at 160 or better, in an instant, at an impulse, and when most, decline the added pressure. He doesn’t care and he shouldn’t, his class his rules, his paycheck on Friday whether or not I paid the cost of attention. Mr. Adversity teachin at the university.

LION OR GAZELLE

             
                 “Every morning in Africa, a Gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a Lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest Gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn't matter whether you are a Lion or a Gazelle... when the sun comes up, you'd better be running.”

               I’m not from here, and its not hard to tell, yet as I walked to the stadium, I was just another one of the thousands of fans going to show support for the green and yellow. I’m not yet at the stage in which I can call myself a fan yet, holding on to my hopes of playing on the grandest stage in which they play, I guess apart of me believes that if I enter the realm of the fan that it will tarnish my dreams of being the player. 
Don’t enjoy it too much, stay hungry, repeats in my mind as the atmosphere intensifies the closer we get to the stadium.......Continue reading here.

            Faith, love, and sex are the most powerful of all major positive emotion.  When blended they have effect on coloring thought.  Faith is the head chemist of the mind.  When blended with thought the subconcious mind instantly picks up the vibration, translates it into its spiritual equivalent and transmits it into infinite intelligence as in prayer.  Prayer works.  I challenge you.

Daily Motivations

          Bruce Barton says "Most successful men have not achieved their distinction by having some new talent or opportunity presented to them. They have developed the opportunity that was at hand."  Dale Carnegie says "The person who gets the farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. The sure-thing boat never gets far from shore."  One obvious interpretation of it all is that some amateurs built the ark, and professionals built the Titanic. Experts have been predicting the worlds end since Saint Clement 1 in 90 A.C. declared it would end in the first century, but what makes a expert entitled.  Your reputation always precedes you, and your work reverberates into any future considerations anyone will offer you.  What kills a skunk is the publicity it gives itself.  The best expert is the reflection in the mirror, stay humble, and remember the most resilient parasite is an idea.  Your amateur ideas.

Top 10 Reasons You Wont Succeed This Year

10.  You procratinate.  You leave too much room for other things to "come up", which allows more important tasks to be put aside and more excuses for you to justify it.

9.  You're not educated.  A college degree doesn't secure success, although it can be a first-class ticket to be hired sooner.  Either way, not having a college degree doesnt mean doomsday.  Self educate.  Learn from past experiences, take notes on quotes or great advice and most importantly learn from those that are already succeeding.  In order for one to win, one must be educated.

8.  You look up to the wrong people.  All throughout life we idolize certain people so that they can be role models for us, not understanding their full journey to where they are at.  Study how one fails, just as much as you do on how they succeed.  It will help you when you come across a roadblock.

7.  You're too easily influenced.  You sway from one idea to the next based on one's opinion about your idea.  One of the most resilient parasites of the mind is an idea, and you will accumulate more gratitude out of following through with your ideas, whether wrong or right, more than taking advice from everyone than lends it.

6.  You don't have a game plan.  The only thing more important than Plan A is Plan B.  And the only thing more important than Plan B is Plan C, other than that, thats all you should be focused on is executing your well thought out plan.  If you're strong enough to handle rejection and you feel Plan A is great and the end-all be-all, than you should put all your attention into the first plan.

5.  You're too afraid.  Eisenhower said the only thing to fear is fear itself.  Mark Twain said that the reason he always went out on a limb is because that's where the fruit is.  Being afraid will keep you from evolving into that successful person you dreamed of being.  It should be easier to accept failure, than to accept not trying.

4.  You limit yourself.  The world has as much confidence in you than you have for yourself.  No more, no less.  People would rather see you fail than to see you succeed, get over it.  While people conspire against you to lose, you help them out by saying that you can't/wont do something that could potentially open doors for you simply because it's too hard or unfamiliar territory.  Just think if you were a one-person army "how strong would you be".

3.  You dont think past tomorrow.  You must be aware of the worst that could happen, yet feed upon what's the best that could happen.  Whatever you dwell on will end up driving you into a state of positive or negative thoughts, which in turn will be the determination of how much effort you put into your work.

2.  You're affraid to be passionate.  With great effort comes great reward, but what about those days when you're not feeling up to the challenges like you were.  You must set goals when you're doing less than favorable tasks or when working somewhere you dont want to be.  The sky should always be the limit, but until then you must set goals so that you remain passionate on the journey.

1.  You're emotionally weak.  Everyone with a college degree knows deep down they aren't smarter than the average of those without.  They may use it to their advantage, but even they might not have the most important tool it takes to be successful.  Emotional Intelligence.  Doesnt matter if you have a high IQ or a 4.0 gpa, if you can't manage your emotions you will not succeed.  Life is unpredictable, so at any time things you have no control over, or things you do have control over can try and consume you.  Thats why you hear of stories about people that would of did this or that if it wasnt for this or that.  They might be geniuses, but they were unable to harness their emotions in order to continue their journey.  They relied on drugs/alcohol/relationships in order to get their emotional fix.  Your ability to overcome is the ability to succeed.  If you can't control yourself, then somebody or some circumstance will.

Welcome To My Page!!!!!!

        Welcome To My Page!!!!!!        Thank you for taking the time out to view my page. This will be an incredible journey, as you will be able to see through the mind of someone who may not look like you, may not be where you're from, but you may see a reflection of yourself in the accounts of my life, as well as my surroundings, family and friends.
        Many times in life we get caught up in the life we live and don’t take the time to reflect on the life we once dreamed of. In my attempts of trying to outlive myself, I hope to inspire or ignite that same passion if only for a second in those that cross paths with my site. If we subtract every physical possession we have, our jobs and the other opportunities we have to gain financially, the only escape is mental peace. All that’s left to gain is energy, whether bad or good, which determines our attitude, which in turn determines our latitude. I want to climb heights so high my fears second-guess questioning me and bring those who look to me for inspiration with me for the journey.
         I was born creative, the youngest of four boys, the only thing that allowed me to be the first in the family to graduate was my ability to imagine things before they happened. I've been creating scenes before they've happened or analyzing things I've seen ever since I would watch my older brothers play little league sports. I would come home and sit on the floor with a straw I would bend in half for a waist and use this makeshift man to recreate baseball, football, or basketball games. Little has changed since then and this same vision has helped me picture reactions during presentations I had to give in my business classes as well as picturing myself staying calm as I was tackling the quarterback in front of thousands on Saturday.
         After college my vision became blurry. With a college degree in one hand and the murky vision to financially secure my family through professional sports in my eyes, I decided to pursue this opportunity that no one in any of my inner circles in my entire life had done before me. Although I haven’t been able to buy my parents that dream home, I've seen the two of them survive cancer while successfully running a church, my uncle started seven years ago.
         I find solace in counting blessings, not counting friends, or money cause the two of them would take a couple seconds and most times I need a lot of time to rebound and put the smile on that most people note me for. I find solace in hearing success stories of those who never had anything. I find solace in this creative spirit I've been given that doesn’t exactly make sense, but it's worked for me. I find solace in knowing that on my class ring in high school, nothing about athletics was mentioned, yet I purposely had an emblem that read "Success" on the side. I envisioned a purpose-filled life, and this is my journey for "Success".
