The Power Of Words

     Those of us that have a voice, also carry a gift that is undeniable. That undeniable gift that we carry can never be seen but it’s often felt each time we open our mouth to speak. This gift is called,… the gift of words.
     
     The amazing thing is that; those words that are held within the compartment of our vocals, have the ability to either create life or create death. We also have the ability to speak and create some of the most beautifully designed words that ears may ever hear. That’s right, our tongue have the ability to deliver either the best of us or in some cases, it can deliver the worst of us. It all depends on what you choose to say…

      Onward, many of us walk around and never realize just how powerful words are. We often take our words for granted. Some people even boldly speak (to others) what they desire to speak, without thinking about who’s being hurt or the emotional backdraft others may endure behind our spoken words.

       For example, how many times have you found yourself in disagreement with someone you cared about. When your temperature rises, do you take a moment and think about what needs to be said, or do you become defensive and use your tongue as a weapon?

      My point is this. That small organ that lies within the root of your mouth is so powerful, that it can take on every other organ within the body and easily talk itself away as the winner. That’s why when we speak negatively to others, our feelings, which is the front line of our emotional defense, becomes rattled. After this rattling occurs, our mind holds on to what’s being said only to remind us of the verbal damage long after the argument.

       In other words, when we yell, curse, or insult others, we slowly erode their feelings. This is like a slow death for the heart. Not only does the heart feel it, but our emotions become aroused and the mind rejects the very thing that has birth the argument.., a foul tongue.
So, when we curse or shout at the ones we confess to love, think about this.

• we erode their feelings
• our heart gives up a part of truth
• and their mind recedes to a place of protection, leaving us to be the beholder of our own foul tongue.

     Finally, we all have the chance to speak life. Speaking life entails bringing out the best within ourselves, only to share it with others. Speaking life entails being selective about what is being said, even when we are hurting. Speaking life entails, turning an argument into a situation that not only allows others to see the purity within “self,” but it gives us a chance to bring the best of our character to the forefront of our own senses and display real LOVE…

Perception of Many

             

 

                   What Do You Think?

     What is it to perception? Perception is one of the greatest experiences that one can create against another. In the eyes of the beholder, this word called perception is enlarged based upon what is seen by the natural eye and above all, those actions that are displayed before the masses.    

     Furthermore, without perception, which is something we all create within our mental faculty, we sometimes hold a veil against the inlets of our mind. Sometimes our belief, is that others will accept how we present ourselves. No matter how we look.

     To add to this, one other great value we experience in life is the freedom to express. It’s our freedom that liberates us to be whoever and whatever we desire for that moment, but our morals mustn’t be forgotten. This is a problem I see time after time and with this problem comes character degradation. 

   However, one must also understand that there is a cost for the freedom in which we walk in during this walk of life. In other words, one of our quest in life should be the discovery of self. “Discovery of what?” you may ask. Well, discovery of the following.

·         Character

·         Morals

·         Respect of Self

·         Respect of Others

·         Ambitions.

     With all due respect, as I’ve worked with youths in the past, I’ve addressed and moved the minds of young men from a dilapidated state, to a higher level of thinking. Many never knew how great of an asset they were over the liability that existed within an uninformed mind. With that being said, the reason so many young men overlook character, morals, respect of self, others and their own ambitions, is all secondary to the ability to create a foundation they’ve never knew existed. Self-Belief.

     So, why do I say this? Well, as I mentioned earlier, perception in and of itself is an experience that is completely automatic. In other words, what you decide to dress like, automatically transmit a signal that carries a weight of influence upon other minds. So, by knowing this, at some point, one must then ask: Why is that I walk around with such a dilapidated character, wanting others to trust, give, and believe in something (me) that goes against the very thought of what they witness before their own eyes..

     When we don’t believe in ourselves and carry ourselves in a misaligned way, then others, want believe in us, and perception is drawn based upon a sensory experience and not a verbal argument.

Indie Authors: Creating Your Worth...

                                             Indie Authors: Finding Success   

      If you’ve ever wonder where to start with wanting to write your first book, just ask yourself, what topic do I desire to write on? There are many Indie Authors that have jumped onto the band wagon of self- publishing their work and many have found success while doing so.

      

     One such writer is, Christopher Ty. For years, Christopher Ty toyed around with the ideal of penning his autobiography but never put the pen to the paper. Then, after realizing that the world needed to hear his story, he started writing.

    

      After sitting down, collecting his thoughts, and outlining what it was he wanted to say, he was on his way. For the Love of Her came out in 2014 and since the inception of his work Christopher Ty has seen readers of his book from over 27 different countries.

   

    “For the Love of Her is not just simply a book,” Christopher goes on to say. For years, it was a piece of work he felt passionate about. After having gone through the struggle he was subjected to by way of the woman who raised him, his mother, he felt it was time to conquer the giant.

    

     After penning his story within a time frame of six months, Christopher decided to put his work out on the market. Within weeks, Christopher was being called to speak at book clubs, churches, and convention centers. His platform was child abuse and with that being said, he not only made big noise in the city of Augusta, Ga., concerning child abuse, but he’s even gotten the chance to help mentor youths that may have been struggling with similar issues.

   

    “Everyone has a story to tell,” Christopher goes on to say. “The only difference in my story versus your story is timing.” Not everyone wants to share stories of the past, but for Christopher Ty he was left feeling completed liberated, after bringing to life the dark places of his past.

    

      Finally, Christopher has now embarked upon another journey. He’s now in the early stages of completing his first fiction novel. The best advice he gives those desiring to write fiction or nonfiction is to write, write and write some more. Aside from that, you must also “read, read, read,” He stated. “When it’s all said and done,” he goes on to say, “We all have the potentials to pull the best of us to the forefront of our minds and succeed.”

The Black Community...Paralyzed From Within...

Growing up in the black community was a daunting task. As I grew older there were a number of things in which I realized then, that I was too blind to see during my years underneath the veil within my community.

   Like any other community, the black community is perceived the way it is perceived secondary to the actions that occur within its setting. In order to understand and arrive at a conclusion that is not only justified but truthful concerning the black community, one must admit to what they know to exist and then reform by way of teaching and educating.

     As the same black man today than I was yesteryear but with a bit more wisdom, when I read different articles concerning the black community I ask myself several questions. One of those questions are: Who are they that commit violence within the community? Secondly, why does police seem to patrol black communities more so than other communities within my district?

     Well, as I thought about this, my mind reflected back upon the days in which I grew up within my own community. My community consisted of hustlers, gamblers, pimps, drug dealers, two-bit robbers, and peddlers trying to sell everything they could sell.  Having knowing that, one may ask, why not call the police, right? Yes, but no. You see, within the black community, the real problem are the (black) men that are in search of trying to become something they’ve never learned how to become…,  Men of Standards. So, many find themselves committing crimes (selling drugs, robbery, etc.) against each other in order to get ahead.

     Furthermore, I blame black men because it is black men that are considered to be the foundation of the family. At least that is what many proclaim to be (I’m a Man!).

     Not only are we considered the foundation of the family, but when things go wrong within our surrounding communities, 9 times out of 10, the problem starts with the men, right?  So, by knowing this, if the problem starts with men, then why not start with trying to create better men within the community? It’s never about getting officers to respect black men, but it’s all about the individual (black men) showing respect for himself and his neighbor at all times. I repeat, all times.

    Onward, it’s impossible for better men to be created, if unmade men are selling drugs, fighting, shooting, robbing and doing everything wrong within their communities, without someone holding them responsible. Having said that, this is why the presence of police officers are within black communities so much. This is a fact, and if one denies this, then, they’ve never lived within an inner city community.

    Finally, my point is this. A community is only good as the people that lives within it, no matter what race, or ethnicity they are. However, if the people within the community continue to accept or make purchases of stolen items, withhold information to protect the wrong, or refuse to educate and better equip the children within the community with better morals and better character, then, how does one remove the noose from around the neck of the community, that could possibly be suffering from years of asphyxiation?
