Contemplation

Here's a sort of Poem/Verse/devotional I wrote last night when I wasn't feeling sleepy:

Let me explain to you the feeling we are contemplating
The feeling is mutual, understanding is fleeting
What we see and feel is deceiving
The inaugural agenda we should have is one that consists of abundant
Love
Showing and expressing in such a way
Its like a metaphor for the Olive Branch & Dove
One that Noah saw many, many years ago
Of which his agenda was true
Instructions he pursued
Until the time came when that bird flew

Life we consider a journey or path
Not realising its integrity's just like glass
Easy to see through and know whats inside
Easy to break and destroy with your might
It emits a reflection of which we concentrate
Whats inside lies the truth, but it could be too late

So I extend to you an accord, one to be made
Don't let your life be a light, covered by a shade
Or a flame in the wind that's willing to fade
Realise your task even though understanding is not present
Give what you have away, all the Love unspent

For YOU are a light in this world, lit by one everlasting
Shine out bright, brighter than any light you have ever seen
For this task is special for you
Chosen for you to be...
Hence the feeling you and me are contemplating
Will eventually be seen

Responsibility

Here we go again...I like making this blog as spontaneous as possible so I'm just gonna say whats on my mind, just watched 8 Simple Rules and Everybody Hates Chris which made me think about an important...how can I say this?...factor of our lives of which we take up for the sake of others or events...Responsibility.

If you go through life without ever having a responsibility, first of well done but secondly, you really didn't live did you? (This last comment is obviously directed at nobody on Earth, if you do feel that is you then please by all means go out there and be responsible for something or someone) Your first and probably most important responsibility is for yourself, the life God has blessed you with, the life you started all those many (or few) years ago. The reason for taking responsibility of your own life is the very reason why you don't want to be controlled, and that reason is it is your life, neglect responsibility of yourself and trust me you will have no control. So what does this entail? I cant answer all the questions in this world however I have learned from my own experiences as well as others. And my main answer to this is DONT BE STUPID! I know that's a little short and could be almost seen as offensive but trust me it's not meant to be, we go through life making terrible decisions, doing things that we wish we never. Truth is we cant help any of that, let it go as the past is the past and the only thing we can do with the past is learn from it. Make a decision in your mind that in the future don't do STUPID things, and those Stupid things in the past become SILLY things with understanding. Now to those of you out there who asking themselves "what on God's wonderfully shaped and nicely balanced (perfect gravity) Earth is he talking about" this is what I mean:

You know when you call someone stupid it can in most cases be meant to be offensive "your so stupid man, why did you do that?" etc. The word Silly however is something that is different, you say it when someone is being a joker, when someones acting in such a way that you know is Stupid but meant to be used in a kinder fashion i.e. to make you smile. (Yes I know Silly can be used as an offensive word too but seriously if you think about it you can see the difference) So you see the words both have very similar meanings but can be used in two completely different contexts.

Stupid decisions: things you know can be harmful to you, or those you care about etc. You will regret these decisions as they will most probably effect you for a very long time, you know the ones that I'm talking about so don't go pretending otherwise. Remember that these decisions are not just ones that are instant, taking up smoking for example is one of these decisions (yes I really don't thing smoking is the wisest decision and yes I don't smoke so YES i don't know what it's like but really...when you know the end result isn't that motivation enough to stop). So think about it before and really analyse and evaluate whether you can handle the responsibility of hurting someone or yourself (Oh and if your saying "it's my life and so those decisions that only effect me is fine" YOUR WRONG! YOU ARE NOT AN ISLAND! you do effect people around you whether you feel it or not so wise up.

Silly decisions: These decisions also effect your life (All Decisions Effect Your Life!) but those silly decisions are normally the ones that have to be done, the lesser of two evils, the decisions that led to friendships or relationships being broken, the ones you may regret but understand. These are the decisions of which you have assumed responsibility for and know full well that you made it with great thought and contemplation...THESE ARE THE KIND OF DECISIONS YOU MUST DO ALONG WITH THE PROCESS!

In a sense your Stupid mistakes are those made in the past, understanding it and learning from it results in seeing them as Silly Mistakes, ones which you can forgive yourself for making as you fully understand why; at that time in your life, you made them. You cant take back the Stupid mistakes but you can make them into Silly ones.

Take Responsibility, trust me it's worth it. Never regret what you've done, just make sure you understand why you did it....and if it was a bad decision, know that if you understand it was bad, no one should ever hold it against you.

OH...and make sure you don't do it again

God Bless

It's been a while: Commitment

I'm currently sitting on my bed contemplating exactly why I started this blog and then didnt do anything on it until now?! Now i'm wondering what to write in this new post. Then it comes to me...

Commitment...now i'm not talkin about being faithful or the worries of being with the same person for the rest of your lives no...i'm refferring to the very reason as to why I did neglect this blog for the last 4 or 5 months. Now I know im not the only one out there that has this problem (I hope) but it does run deep. Ive come to realise that when some things need to be done we try and convince ourselves that we will do it as quick as possible, however; they do tend to get lost in shroud of life. My normal excuse is that I was to busy or it just slipped my mind when in all honesty I really couldnt be bothered yet I would look at videos on Youtube for a good hour or so and even read up on my favourite anime's history backlog for much longer (I am very clued up on Naruto so if you wanna challenge me feel free lol).

Now why do we do this (well lets say me for the moment), WHY DO I DO THIS!?

Ive comed to realise that when I engross my self in something it normally has something to do with the fact that I am interested in it, If I could revise in the same manner that I read up anime history or make music I would of exited Uni with a much greater degree that I did leave with. Univeristy is over and to me the degree really doesnt matter, whate matters most is what ive learned from the mistakes and the main mistake i'm reffering to; is not concentrating on what I'm interested in or in other words: What I love. If I had concentrated on the things I love to do or chosen a degree that I constantly think about then alot more progress would of have been acheived...however its never really to late and thats what I emplore all of you to do. Look for something you enjoy doing and go at it hard (im talking about something constructive, things like becoming the best NBA2k9 player in the world dont count). Now this whole post could literally sound like I cant be bothered to do anything but the things I enjoy which is not true. There are tasks in this world that can seem difficult to do or practice however if it wasnt difficult, everyone would be doing it. If you play a sport that you love, play it for fun but also practice it, aim to get better than you were the day before, its hard, its not fun and it hurts but thats what DELIBERATE PRACTICE is...and trust me if you practice like that in one aspect of your life I assure you it will follow in all other aspects.

Commitment to things you love is so very important, it could be music, could be sport, could be people, could be hospitality...in all these things stay committed and dont cut yourself short, do what you can today and never leave it to the next day cause you really never know whats round the corner and like I said before in all these things that you love will come tough times however fight through them and trust me the results will be astonishing and most certainly worth it.

This post may seem a bit mangled but I do hope I got a main jist out there for you guys to relate to.

Many more to come

God Bless

Thinking Made Easy

Thinking Made Easy...have you ever thought...well obviously you have but I mean really truly think about the important things in life. I'm not talking about which Girl or Guy your interested in or why my Playstation switches on from a controller across the house but as to who I am or in your case...WHO ARE YOU? (Coach E, 2009) This Blog stretches from a very good friend of mine who started this idea and I'm sure he certainly wont mind me starting from there as he is the one who inspired me to start this. This Blog here is one that will literally elaborate every single thought, idea or ponder that goes through my wonderful mind. These thoughts could quite literally spread from the simplest thing (even the Playstation controller I was suggesting above) to the quite complex. This is the first post of many and my first elaborated thought will be on this page within the next few days, stay tuned and if anybody out there has any thoughts of their own i suggest you place it on your Blog, Facebook, website or anything. Those who know me contact me if you want to discuss, those who don't just mail me and I'll get in contact.

God Bless
