A BLIND ADVERSARY

A well known adversary goes unnoticed everyday of our lives.  We carry on as though it doesn't linger by our side.  We prefer ignorance above having any dealings with it, as if it would just fade away.  Unfortunately, it affects every aspect of our lives, blinds our vision, clouds our mind, aggravates our temperament, and places snares before our feet.

This universal adversary is called "Self."  It is the most harmful opponent of all others.  While we can clearly see the faults in the decisions of others, that's hardly the case when looking in the mirror.  It seems that the reflections of the shiny surfaces of our bad decisions blind us.  We walk around with the heavy chains of hypocrisy and wonder why we're weighed down.  Perhaps, it's from the piercing noise of these chains scraping against the face of our destiny that dull our ears to correction.

Many, who are in search for success, read motivational books, books on success and changing our habits.  There is one undisputed truth that laces the ground work of every Philosophy.  Without understanding this truth you'll be trapped in the reigns of defeat... and not know why?  An awful remanence is left from the dark presence of Confusion.  One that does not lift away quickly.  This truth is the willingness to accept you've been wrong your entire life, in everything.  From the way you perceive life, to every unconscious choice you made as a young adult.  It is the willingness to accept that everything you thought was right... is actually wrong.

It is only in the acceptance in this truth that you'll ever find yourself.  Your life right now is the sum total of every thought you've ever had.  You forged yourself from the life changing decisions you made based on these thoughts.  Once a decision was reached these thoughts became your truth.  A truth you developed roughly around the age of 10 to 12 years old.  In retrospect, do you honestly believe a 10 to 12 year old has formed an accurate assessment of life? I don't believe so either.  Sadly, this truth is engraved into the flesh of the heart and is rarely changed in any one persons lifetime.

Find this willingness in your heart.  Then, once you've torn down the fabricated walls that have protected you all these years, embark on the journey to see life with new and fresh sight.  It is beautifully refreshing!

THOUGHTS ARE EVERYTHING

Be careful what thought's you keep, for they are the color paint we use.  Be careful what words you say they are the paintbrush that paints your life.  Careful the actions you take they are the canvas that mends with the paint that shapes your reality.

Before success of any kind can be obtained, you must change yourself.  You must realize the problem lies within and not without.  It is our continual pattern to look for the flaws of our surroundings, but can never identify the flaw within our own soul.

Life is attributed to many events that blend together to make our experiences.  We take these experiences as though they're written in stone.  The fact remaining, we never contributed to the feelings that etched our reality.  We simply lived through the events and made judgments based on our upbringing.  Here's the problem... who ever said our upbringing was correct.  To question such a thing... to this point in our lives is blasphemy.

Being raised as a man, to live in this world and survive, comes from much more than individualism.  If you were taught to be your own person and do whatever pleases you... you were mislead.  Every great leader knows you must lead by example.  If you want to be great, you want great things to be done, than you yourself must do great things.

Thoughts are the very thing that make up our chemistry, our personality.  These things constitute what we are... what defines us.  Easily, you can see how the simplest misconception can lead to a lifetime of  flaws and limits.  It's sad, but an accepted reality.  Is this what you want for yourself?  Is this what you feel you were born for?  Honesty, ask yourself... is this all you ever expected to achieve in life?

I'm sorry, but I'm not one of those persons that can just accept what life decides to throw at me.  Life is not our enemy, although often identified as such.  Life is within us... it is the very thing we breath within our lunges each and every morning we arise to see the perfection our Creator has flawlessly designed.  It is the thing that powers the mind to perform at its highest potential.

Think on this... the Creator, our God, Savior, and any other name you choose to call Him by, seen it so fit to put his complete attention on humanity.  We are the purpose of God.  We are His heart.  We are the reason He hasn't deserted this Earth... His children.  If you can't find the power within yourself to create a new you... No one can.  It starts with you believing within yourself, before anyone can believe in you.
