Anchors In Life

Anchor Weights In Life:

 

    When you hear the word weight, most if not all, know and understand just what a weight entails. There’re many types of weights in life. Some people use weights to ensure they are gaining the right amount of use out of them. When weights are used in this manner, it has a tendency to build muscles within the body. Others may allow weights to settle upon them and it may take years to remove it. When weights are used in this manner, it has a tendency to anchor you, right in the place you're at in life.

   

       First, what happens when we allow people or things to become weights in our life? The answer is: our movement becomes slowed or we cease to move along our desire pathway in life. When we are anchored, no matter how we think of moving forward, it will never happen because of the weights that are attached to us.

   

     On a different note, I would like to point out that weights can come in many different sizes. The bigger they are (problems) the more force you’ll have to used in order to destroy such a (weighty) relationship. The whole point in being able to pinpoint those that are weighing you down in life is to, liberate yourself from that point of restraint. When this is done, freedom is realized:

What are Weights?

·        Dream killers

·        Negative people

·        People that abuse you

·        People that speak down to you

     When you have a desire to move forward in life, then, you must understand that, this desire is yours and yours to protect solely.  There are people in this world, sometimes that are close to us, that will take your desires and annihilate them simply because they may not agree with it. Never allow dream killers to manifest nor keep attachments to you during your life. Dream killers are big anchors.

       

     Next, there are those that are simply negative. It’s hard enough to stay  consistent with what you desire to do and where you desire to go in life, but when you have someone in your life that badgers you constantly, …they can be considered a weight problem. You must understand this. The only reason that people are willing to speak (curse) in a negative way towards others, is because they are themselves negative. When you are a negative individual, one of your sole purposes in life is to condemn others. Negative people condemn others, because they themselves feel condemn. This is a major weight and negative people utilized this well.

       Onward, never settle for abuse. Abuse itself, is a massive weight. It ‘s massive because it has the ability to refract into so many different directions. Some of the ways that abuse can anchor you in life may deal with the physical, mental, emotional and even spiritual. Also, when this type of weight exist within your life for a long period of time, it can create self destruction in many different ways. Be careful.

       Finally, people that speak down on you is a weight that can easily be removed, but you have to be willing to lift it. I’ve seen this first hand. The tricky part about this weight is that, those that are anchoring you down,  may live in close proximity. This makes the anchor that much more difficult to remove. Why? Because many  have established relationships with people that may anchor them. This can easily cause you to see, only what you chose to see within the relationship. When this happens, you can easily overlook the very thing that is anchoring you down. 

So, always be cautious, move constantly (towards your goal) and stay free of the weights of this world. They are only in place to put strain on your life.....

The Pain on the Inside....

  I awoke this morning to some horrific news. There'd been a shooting in Charleston, S.C. at a historically black church. As I sifted through the story, I had hopes that know one had lost their lives to some random person coming in off the streets to attend church service. As the story unfold, I realized that nine people had lost their lives to not only a sinful act, but an action that can never be explained in a way that would make sense.
     I tried to make sense of the foolishness that had transpired. To kill an innocent person is one thing, but to kill individuals within a church is on a totally different level. Evil actions like this one signifies that there are some that truly coexist with the principalities of darkness and somehow, find gratification when they can inflict their horrible actions upon others.
     As I mulled over the story in it's entirety, the one thing that came to mind is how incredible the actions of sin can become.  According to CNN, the crime is being looked at as a hate crime.
http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/18/us/charleston-south-carolina-shooting/., but I see it in a more bifocal way.
    Not only has this crime introduced a new wave of violence, but it displayed a despicable action towards the individuals, the church and the world. Proverbs 25:28 asserts: "He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls." 
    I make mention of this verse because in truth: although it is seen as a hate crime, the crime itself depicts a crime against humanity. When we as Americans have no moral nor spiritual boundaries set within the confinements of our beings, it is then that we can easily become the most dangerous person walking around.

    When moral and spiritual walls are torn down, there is little left on the inside of the physical being to sustain a person's actions. Not only does he or she becomes vulnerable to him or herself, but those that are innocent can easily become victims of the very ones we entrust to dwell among us, in a civilized manner.

Amazing You!!!

      In case you didn't know, we all have this incredible ability to create the experience that is to come within our lifetime. Once this is realized, the question then becomes, are you willing to create it in order to become a better you?
     Many people go through life changing experiences simply because of something they may have desired. This is true on many levels, and when circumstances become too much for us to handle, many people are left to reap the consequences. Unfortunately, some of those consequences are more devastating than what we can handle.
     As I sat down in the barber's chair this morning to get my hair cut, my barber had a lot of things weighing heavily on his heart. He talked about his current situation and how it was weighing him down in life. I asked him if I could ask him one simple question and he said "yeah." I said, without you sharing your personal business with me, do you find that you may have brought this on yourself now that the dust is all stirred up? He answer with all honesty and said "yes." My point is this. If we engage in experiences that will cause us to tear down, what we've worked on building up within ourselves (character traits), why would we be selfish enough to engage in something that may destroy us?
     Just as the barber stated, the life experience that he engaged in was not only fortifying, but it brought him temporal satisfaction. The sad part is this...He never considered his end results and now he's having to pay emotionally. This is where the hook can be found at in life. Anything that brings about temporary pleasure (emotionally), often times will deliver having to deal with difficult consequences.
   Because of the life experience in which he CHOSE to go through, he is now left with having to deal with man made consequences. One thing about consequences is this; they are never determined by
the person committing the act.
     For example, if I start stealing, the consequence is jail. If I start committing acts of violence, then the consequence could be death. Or if I start practicing at what I wish to conquer, then my consequence will be some type of reward.
     Remember, as growing individuals that are seeking strength within ourselves, we will always have the ability to embrace wisdom and knowledge simply by thinking. Without taking into consideration our ability to "think" before acting, we will always dismiss the reality of the experience we would have allowed ourselves to engage in.
   Finally, never allow yourself to engage in meaningless experiences, especially those experiences that have the ability to arrest you emotionally. When we put our thoughts to work prior to engaging in anything that may destroy us, it is then that we construct a belief system that holds you (us) accountable to being the best that we can possibly be.
     Remember, always love yourself!!

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.”

Who Deserves This?

 We all have freedom of speech, right? But at what expense does one lay down their own emotions just to be told something that is condensing? If you don't know what I mean, I'm talking about being cursed at or cursed out. 
    It's one thing to be cursed at by some random strangers, but it's another thing to be cursed out by those that profess to love you. When I say the word "those," I'm speaking of a mother, father, sister, brother, husband or wife. Yes, those kinds of people, the ones that say, "I love You" should never have a reason to curse at a love one.
    Well, this articles deals with just that. Have you asked yourself this question before. How is it that the one that says, I love you, ends up cursing me out when things go wrong... Is that love? If you don't know the answer I'll explain. 
   First, no, it's not love. Anyone that calls you a bad name is doing it for a reason. I know, I know, their are those that might call you an ugly name then go back and beg for forgiveness, right? Yes. But, you must not forget this. Anyone that curses at you don't, themselves, understand in it's entirety what it means to love, and as long as you give them the right to speak to you in such a condensing way, they will continue to strengthen their own negative behavior,  as long as you tolerate it. 
   Second, lets think about cursing. When one curses, they not only defile themselves, but they impute a curse over into the spirit of those that are being cussed out.
     When you see or hear those that are in a relationship curse at each other, the most unfortunate thing that occurs each time a curse word is used, is the desecration of the relationship. In other words, if you are being cussed at or are cursing someone else, your being is either being desecrated or you are desecrating someone else with your tongue. 
    Finally, the tongue is one of the most powerful organs of the body. If the brain can be seen as a storage place and the intestine as the universe of the body, then the tongue should be viewed as the axis. Your tongue has the power to make someone happy, destroy them, confuse them or build them up each and every time your mouth opens. Just as the earth rotates on it's axis, your tongue holds a great deal of power within itself. So, when you understand your self worth and realize that you are one of your greatest assets (unto yourself) and no one has that right to desecrate your being, you'll then understand that protecting such a great asset isn't only a right, but it's something that every one deserves and that is, the love that streams from the heart.

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?

Why Not You!..

                            You Are You-niquely Made!

     Have you ever been told that you would never amount to anything, you aren't good
enough, or that is out of your league?  If you have, then chances are,  statements like these may have hurt your feelings, right?

     I can't begin to tell you how many times people whose lives I've spoken into, have shared with me the devastation they've gone through all because of negativity similar to the aforementioned. I, myself, grew up being told on a regular basis how I would never accomplish anything in life and that I was useless. These were words I sometimes believed, especially when I failed at some random task I was attempting to succeed at.

  Initially, these were words, I was not only absorbed in, but they danced around in my mind throughout my life. The pain of it all is that, words like these were being told to me by the people I was most familiar with and they hurt badly. Isn't that how it is sometimes?

  Well, as time moved on, I discovered something truly unique. That major discovery was "myself." This may sound very basic or even vague, but there are so many people in this world that is still carrying the weight of a lie within the crevice of their mind all because they've never open there eyes to true "self-discovery."  A lie like this, will not only cause one to feel inadequate about their accomplishments in life, but it becomes a weight that resurfaces to the forefront of the mind time after time.
  
   The good thing is this. There are many things that you can do to become a better "you." Better yet, there are things that you can do to remove yourself from underneath a veil that has the power of reminding you of negative words. However, I will name  three things that will not only liberate you from past indiscretions but they will help maximize you in the best way possible.

•    Discovering You     

When people are influenced to commit bad acts or believe the untruth about themselves, they become prisoners of other people's opinions. One of the main reasons why negative people dispel negativity upon others is because it was done to them.  This is an unseen force that perpetuates itself and many fall victim to it. In order to discover you, you must be willing to liberate yourself from those things that anchor you in life. Liberation from anything that is negative, not only births freedom inside of you, but it allows you to grow in truth and opens your mind up to being the best that you can be. 

•  Dwell on those things that are Good:

Have you ever found yourself thinking about something bad some one has told you about yourself or said to you? I would like to think we all have, right? After years of fighting to liberate myself from past lies, I learn to dwell on good things. What do I mean by that? Well, for me, I not only separated myself from negative people, but I started to introduce positive words into my mind. I started remembering bible verses or good quotes that strengthen my mentality. This really helps. These good quotes not only became my weapons I used each time my mind trampled across negativity from the past, but they annihilated those negative thoughts until they were no more.

• Believe In Yourself:

Before I became fully liberated from believing a lie, I always wondered what other people thought about my actions. The reason I wondered what others thought was because I never fully believed that I was capable of fulfilling my own destiny. I was trapped by what others may have said against me and I needed other people's opinion to validate me. Not only is this a bad way to live your life, but you'll never discover your true potentials when you are depending on others to validate you.
 I come to realize that intrinsic richness is far more greater than external richness. When you start believing in yourself despite what others may say feel about you, you are then on your way to rediscovering the biggest and most valuable gem of all times. That priceless gem is YOU!
