Truth/TGIF

Scene....
Hey Everyone..
It's been a week of rain for us in Southern California, and I am LOVING it, such a good time for a cleansing, It's one of God's many blessings, so let it rain down .....

Mirrors, Consciousness and True friends help us to hold our Truths. Painful as it may be, being real with yourself, is a sign of a person who is in touch with their morals and scruples. Character is something that you build on. Standing for something is an achievement that society rewards. In life if you're lucky enough to have children or be in a leadership position, you can help shape and mold a person into someone, who is respected and admired.

I once read a sign that spoke about the 'truth' and it simply stated that when you tell the truth, you don't have to remember a thing, and that is such a true fact. Whereas if you live your life as a lie, its constant work to cover your bases, and it gets harder than it has to be. I made the mistake of saying I love you to someone that I didn't love,and that led me down a road of misery. My thought process was that I wanted to be the good guy, by telling her what she wanted to hear, made her happy temporarily and of course I was miserable. With the realization that respect is about having a word, if only I had been honest, initially she would've been hurt and disappointed, but in the end I would be probably still have her respect, maybe even a friendship instead of hatred.

Just like the rain that falls, it releases down freely, the truth can be just as freeing. To live is to learn and to learn is to grow wiser. The person who doesn't grow will continue on a path of deception and misery. We're here for such a short time in the large scheme of things, Shouldn't we try as hard as humanly possible to be the best that we can be at all times....just like when we put on our best clothing with all the accoutrements. We do this because we want people to take note and pay attention. The same rules apply when you open your mouth.

What are you doing with your life?

  2. Sometimes the "truth" hurts, and folks ain't always ready to hear what you have to say. A liar will always lie, and a cheater does the same. Honesty is a rare quality to have these days. Love this piece, Love It, Love It!!

  9. Last weeks blast was way loooooooooong. This one is just right, you touch on points and you have a good concept to what life is all about. When I read your work, I believe in what you have to say. I think that you're just pulling crap from your back side. Thanks for taking time to deliver the word. We all have a mission to do here on earth, I hope that you realize that you're being utilized.

  13. Man you have the best taste in music, you never cease to amaze me. Just when I think you're going to do it one way, you're flip it and do something completely just as wonderful. Music is the soundtrack to the world.

  15. Taking a closer walk with thee is the biggest challenge in life. Day to day I want to walk closer to God. I struggle with trying to be a better man today than yesterday. My hardship is the flesh, and....

  18. Reading your Friday blasts is like visiting my therapist, but you actually participate, you contribute most of the conversation, as oppose to just nodding, and making me feel more confused. I think you should branch out. People would benefit from your words, I know I have.

  20. Some people don't deserve the truth, and it's been my experience that muthafuckers will say and do anyhing to get what they want from you, and then move on. So thanks for your advice, but I'll pass, and stick to what doesnt seem to work either way.
