It is foolish to run from a problem. You may run into a bigger monster around the corner.
This day's truth. Yesterday's consequences.

July 21 "going slow is the better way to go - sometime "
Don't try to force something that isn't working because something's just aren't meant to be. Let somethings appear then disappear so that something better can take its place. It's not always easy to decide, going slow is the better way to go - sometime.
July 20th forgiveness
~ to forgive. for-give. Forgiveness is " for giving " them and yourself peace of mind. ( and give for good because good is for giving) papajohn

July 19th "Because when YOU heal then YOU stop hurting . . . . . . yourself and others".
Some things don't matter at all. There are times when what we see going on around us isn't what our mind tells us it is. What we see is not the same as what we think.
What we think we see could be based on an underlying fear or feeling of guilt. I don't know anyone who hasn't done a few things that they aren't ashamed of. I'm not talking about socities moral scale like crime - I mean what WE know is right and wrong, what we feel we did that was hurtful as a human being or a boundary that we crossed of a religious nature.
You think something has to be going on RIGHT NOW to cause fear but that's not the case. If you've damaged another human being unjustly and you have no remorse about it then you've change the nature of your DNA because it wasn't the first time and it won't be the last - unless . . . . . you change and change drastically!
People think everyone will notice when we " change our ways " to use a familiar term but that's not the case. Sure you could change your hair style, your clothing style and your job but that's the external which anyone is capable of doing. NO, that's not change and besides, change is a process which leads to transformation. Who truelly knows about OUR change? WE know it and I'll tell you why, because unwarranted fear will leave us- that paranoia. Who truelly knows about OUR change? WE know it and I'll tell you why because needless guilt disappears - shame!
It doesn't matter who OUT THERE knows we've changed AND if you're going around announcing how different you are compared to " who you were " then you've completely lost your mind. You only THINK you have the ability to see the world through compassionate, loving and peaceful eyes. Yes, you're on a mission underneath that thick skin of yours to redeem yourself and redemption and transformation don't live in the same village!
AND if life seems to be handing you the proverbial " bad cards " then the deck is still stacked against you and here's why - underneath it all you're still a coward with merciless motives. And the hatred that you exhale through your pulsating nostrils is poisoning all those around you! You're a fake and those who don't know it RIGHT THIS MINUTE will know it eventually because THE TRUTH is a mighty Goddess and her sword is Justice.
So, take your eyes off everyone else and look NOT into a mirror! I tell you not into a mirror because you LIE to yourself!
Meditate, self-examinate, look into your soul- go deep. Get rid of YOUR fears and get rid of YOUR guilt and heal. Because when YOU heal then YOU stop hurting . . . . . . . yourself and others.

Juy 18th We don't ever truelly have complete control over what happens in this world. The best we can do is put forth a good effort
The idea I get today about how I might improve a situation or solve the matter at hand may for all intents and purposes be the best idea or notion that anyone on this earth has!
The concept I would like to infuse, my answer to the problem may be the result of long and serious contemplation with everyone's best interest in mind. However in this life I have learned things turn on a dime and in directions I never considered or imagined.
When do we just make a suggestion and when do we insist or make a demand ? Truth is, there are times we must needs make demands based on our experience and with considerations like safety or if someone's life is at stake.
The question usually arises, " am I forcing my will into this situatuion? " Human beings under these circumstances make decisions based on past experience and NOT ALL past solutions will apply to the current situation. There's a trade off.
I think we should consider this "what we would like to happen and what we don't want to happen needs to be removed from the equation! " Feelings and emotions blur the picture, they are predjudical and judgemental and lead to a reckless or inconsiderate decision making process. So how to proceed?
I say first have a discussion with the person whose guidance you trust. I've found I prefer someone who doesn't always give me a straight answer and instead tells me a story from his or her book of life experiences.
The decision is mine and mine alone which brings me to my second point - make the best decision I can with all the information available. We can't afford to rely on anothers input because it gives us a FALSE sense of security presently and IF things don't work out we will blame them for it. We don't ever truelly have complete control over what happens in this world. The best we can do is put forth a good effort.

July 17th The answer isn't in the past it's in the future!
When we reject something "new " that has been brought to us by the Higher Order of things we pause. In pausing we have doubt and doubt creates fear.
You become fearful and you don't realize it at first. You think that there might be something wrong but you dismiss it. Instead of reflecting, serious reflection, serious meditation, constructive examination of self you go on a intellect binge.
" EVERYTHING is pretty good in my world " you spout to all who will listen AND
you add, "what is not good I can't do much about- huh, it's all good though " but you are lying to yourself. It's not ALL GOOD.
You are tripping and you don't even know it! Oh you'll soon know it when you fall completely and it will be more than skinned elbows! " How the hell did this happen?" will be your mantra but you're not asking the right question. Your focus is on the wrong direction.
"How do we prevent this from happening again?" You probably won't ask this and therefore never know which direction to go next. At a time when we should move forward we move backwards and look somewhere into past for the answer, for the reason we tripped up and fell.
The answer isn't in the past it's in the future!
