    • @SweatyFatGuy
      @SweatyFatGuy 3 роки тому +8

      The thing that gives me perspective on what happens, what others do, and life in general is "Everything is Temporary." Told to me by a veteran service officer with the VA who is a Vietnam veteran. Being a Gulf War and Iraq veteran, it was something I needed to hear, because the military makes us care greatly about even the smallest of things. I ask myself if its giving me stress right now, will it matter in 5 billion years when the sun goes red giant and engulfs the earth? Of course not. Does it matter right now? Sure, it could be immensely important or just a little, but tomorrow it might not, so I handle what I have to handle today, and stop worrying.
      My current stress... I have three broken winter beaters in my yard, and I am stranded 13 miles from town unless I drive my restored 1965 GTO that I rebuilt, thankfully the salt is off the roads due to warm weather, but there is no heat in it. Usually I have 5 to 8 feet of snow here this time of year, and they are spreading salt like candy in a 4th of July parade from 1976, but its nice out there and it rained earlier this week so the roads are clean. So I find the whole thing simply amusing. So its time to put them in the shop, one by one, and fix them. Just do what you gotta do.
      I haven't cared what other people think about me since I was 9 or 10. They didn't like me anyway, so why care? People like me now, and its nice, but not the meaning of my life. I like that expression of yours though. Unless they have some kind of power or control over you, what people think about you is only important to them.

Not always easy, but absolutely true. I had many very violent words come my way, a thousand times, but I lived my version of the quote and somehow I'm still alive, without anyone ever being injured. Absolute faith. Never, ever over react. Relax. Pass out Love and Peace and you will have Love and Peace. Do things to the point of making them a part of your very being and then have faith.

      @@tomm3950 Hey Tom, I appreciate you're willingness to be open to new concepts, but if you understand anything at all about how propaganda works, you'll know that sifting through the heaps of it can be an arduous task, to say the least.
      If you're not at all sure how it works or how to spot it, then I recommend reading or listening to some recognizable people who are well informed in the art. I'd start first with the book (or audio book) Propaganda, by Edward Bernays, but only if you are fully aware he was basically the United States chief executive to mastermind many US govt. endorsed/supported propaganda campaigns. To help you understand that, I'd recommend researching Mark Crispin Miller who studied and taught propaganda at NYU, and who wrote the forward to a later published addition of E. Bernays' book nearly a century after it was first introduced.
      Consequently professor Miller was removed from duty shortly after the Covid-19 mandate propaganda drives became implemented in the US and around the world, as he was quickly able to recognize and call out the propaganda taking place. Consequently, he was just as quickly removed from his professing position by a single student who tweeted he was endangering lives.
      If in the meantime I can find a link, or give more meaningful insight, I'd be happy to share it with you.

    I love your channel. I’ll be 70 in December 2022. I have just found my voice in 2018 when a tumor was removed from my brain. The craniotomy is not highlighted for the surgery. It’s a marker on my life journey timeline. PTSD set in and I became empowered after facing my memories of teenage paternal molestation and maternal narcissism. I am proud of who I am and how I came to this new revelation. Here’s my latest poem. I started authoring poems after surgery.
    “Today
    Today feels unburdened
    Light and free at a cellular level churnin.
    My heart filtering trauma remnants
    Fragmentation broken freeing embedment.
    Turning ashen darkness abyss from surreal
    To awareness of a safe oasis appeals.
    Mystery lurking to what each day brings
    One day treading water
    today I swim nimbly as an otter.
    Spring sprouting tiny buds excitedly
    Love for my children feeds my entire heart and heart strings.
    Sigh of relief
    I’m embracing this thing
    The thing that buries the trauma in a bottomless bracket sealed lockring.
    Oh the joy
    When a quote is sent by my dearest friend,
    My soul sister, bound by creativity,
    unhinged from societal proclivities.
    “Strong women aren’t born,
    They’ve forged through fires
    They’ve had to walk through.
    They’re warriors with hearts of gold”-silver ravenwolf-
    I’m a warrior,
    trauma generational cyclical destroyer,
    Learning to walk alone through the narrow doorway of new dreams
    Dropping deadbeat toxic friends and family at my feet.
    A ball of string resembles clutching this set of familiar toxicity close to my heart
    I don’t unravel it
    I burn the ball scorching all remains for my fresh start.
    Today is the day I choose to navigate
    Not yesterday or tomorrow that is susceptible to self flagellate.
    Today is the day I cherish the crew
    handpicked trusted loved ones
    Who love honor respect
    Most assuredly cherish me
    AS I DO,
    through and through. “ Kimi Minor

      My point is : you must have the wellbeing of other people in mind when setting up your life goal. Or else it's just a selfish goal. What is the point of "success" and happiness if you accomplished nothing positive for those around you ?

      We're never as strong, as we are until we have to be. Never Do as much, unless the need we see. Only give our best, when we fail at mediocrity. We Love rather than hate when we admit we're one humanity. We always give more, when compassion moves our heart with unbridled generosity. We Become more of our potential when we are made to see, that clearly our minds can believe in unfathomable possibilities, while seizing every opportunity, here in lies one's destiny. More than our scars, higher than our stars, for in our flaws are what defines our features, they're uniquely ours, as human creatures.
      We can run faster than on our slowest day. Reason better, and thinking it through all the way, regardless which direction our emotions may sway. We can find our voice when speechless, our strong words with meekness and our Courage in weakness. Always patience not quickness. Silence for peace than loudness, quietness of fear, not hopeless, for time and effort are equally unbiased. We are more than the stories we're told, we're the one's we write, each page unfold. We are the sum of our Lies and truth, fantasy, fiction, faith, and myths, no matter how uncouth. These are what shape us, our lives lived is the proof. We can be more right than wrong. More just than judge. More godlike than unlike. Reflecting Sunlight in our darkest night.
      Providing refuge. Never more alive until we die within and begin again. A Human Ark Divine in our human spark.

Love does demand of you yet you are not willing to sacrifice for it. Those who only seek what love can give and do for them, do nothing for love and others and in such selfish pursuit, in turn rob themselves of love's best gift.

Embrace it but don't enslave it, share it but don't dare boast in it. Enjoy it but don't abuse it. Free it and watch it come back. Invest in it and watch it pay back. Wash your life in it, light your darkness with it, eat your food with it conduct your business with it and above all else Serve God in it.

      I simply hated the idea of having conflicts in my life. I had the compulsion that you could only be happy in the absence of conflicts in all aspects of life. Consequently, my actions were in accordance to how others were feeling at the moment. I thought this was the right way to deal with relationships, but it obviously wasn't. I only became more vulnerable.
      Sincerely accepting the following sentence with my heart changed my life:
      “You can be happy, regardless of whatever.”
      I was convinced that if I really was okay, I would have a comfortable and happy life under any circumstance.
      After establishing this emotional pillar, I felt other people trying to support me. Many people also began to make more time to talk with me.
      There were people who said they wanted to start a new project with me, work with me, or simply spend more time with me. Some connected me with opportunities that I had always set my eyes on. This phenomenon was truly amazing, and is unforgettable.

I cannot adequately express how tremendously helpful this CD has been on my spiritual journey!! Two thumbs up and 10 stars!

I do not believe God is a Caretaker. We may or may not be His favorite creation, it often seems as though it's more of a "Let's see how this works out" situation.

      I haven't watched the complete video, but what's being said here can be used in an array of ways. It's kind of sad that any adult will stoop low to tell a child that they won't be good at x, y or z. I can see their peers and those who company they keep making fun of them (whether for jokes or in an attempt to bully them)......but an adult doing that is just off! Most kids don't even realize how most adults can see what they're capable of......and depending on the quality of the adults mind they will either try to mentally and physically destroy them or they will be an asset to what they can see they're capable of. It's a shame, but hey. Folk will also use words to manipulate and steer others to think in ways that they want them to or want them to start thinking.....something you can see on the internet hourly. Whether it be about themselves, their goals, their sanity, their interest.....the list goes on. This type of "psychology" has always been in circulation. To the point that those who use it will believe that everyone is like them and desire to control and manipulate others at will (for whatever self serving reason). What's fun for some, is pretty much a bore for others.

      When you're amongst people that mean you well, it's for you to listen........whether or not they're related to you. As that's just the order of things. We're all blessed in ways that we need to be for whatever amount of time. There are children that are amongst the scum of the earth (that they know to be family) and they'll either listen to these types and fall prey to their phuckery or they will ignore them and learn to make good choices (compliments of their internal guide). Sometimes it's best to appreciate that which you're *given, as the reason for their presence supercedes your understanding. I know kids that got beside themselves and made a mockery of kids/people they knew that did not have the essentials that they had (mother/father and family) Time fast forward and every adult that they had in their life that they knew as family started passing away. Before they knew it, they literally stood in the same shoes that the individual/s they made a mockery of stood in. The only difference between them and that person/those individuals was, they ended up losing their mind, as they had no idea what it meant or felt to be without what they were use to. Although there are those that may fall short in one area, trust and believe they've been equipped in others. No different than those that have what appears to be normal and natur.

    I’m 62 and was taught the “sticks and stones” mantra. It’s excellent to deflect the arrows people send your way. It helps if you don’t believe about yourself internally what the nasty people say to you. So another skill parents need to teach their children is how to be a good person and to value that about yourself. We’re all born with immutable characteristics that none of us chose. We’re bombarded with images that warp our senses so we begin to compare our immutable characteristics we didn’t choose with the images we’re shown that we’ve interpreted as having value and use them to assess our worth and internalised. Along comes an arrow from a nasty unenlightened person that says out loud what you’ve come to believe about yourself and that’s why it hurts. Not because they believed it about you, but because you believed it about yourself. Imagine if a child was taught the folly of judging themselves based on characteristics they had no choice in and instead valued themselves because they believed themselves to be a good person. Along comes a nasty name attached to an arrow and now it’s meaningless, because it says nothing about their personhood, That’s the armour if resilience we need to give to children, because we’ll never rid the world of nasty unenlightened people and nor should we want to lest we become them.

One person might see think another might not might might not bad. Some people think im crazy others think im smart, People see me in all kinds of ways. When I was shy , insecure and I heard he must think he is better than us.. When I stop shy and insecure and learn to share I still heard , he must think he's better.

    Excellent set of sentiments.
    A few months ago, I read a story once about dying and the soul goes to the place of judgement. There God asks like 30 questions . "Have you bore false witness (slander/gossiped)?", "Have you murdered?", ... to the very last and most important question that could over rule all the negative offenses, "Is there anyone for whom you helped make their life better that will speak for you?"
    Yes, changing the world does not mean you did all the work yourself. You change the world every time you interact with another. A kindness, helps make the other kinder. Cruelty makes the other more cruel.
    People wonder why I harp on manners, courtesy, politeness, and respect. I believe when you show true respect you elevate the person you are interacting with, that their world view improves a little. The same goes for when you are polite, courteous, or mannerly. It rubs off, if only minutely in some cases.
    I am mostly hermit like but when out shopping or traveling, if I can I try to make at least one person's day a little better. I call it random acts of kindness. And though that is not why I do it, as I have done this for years/decades, maybe if questioned one of these people will step up and speak for me. I will know then that I did just a tiny bit of good and maybe helped change the world.

      isn't just what you do but what you don't do. Not just what you did but how you did it. Not just what you said but how you said it. Love is so simple yet the simple make it so hard. Love Is full of knowledge yet even the smart don't get it. Love doesn't cost a fortune yet fortunes are spent trying to gain it. Love does demand of you yet you are not willing to sacrifice for it. Those who only seek what love can give and do for them, do nothing for love and others and in such selfish pursuit, in turn rob themselves of love's best gift. Make this year the year you seek to sow love and not just reap it. Be love and not just think it. Do love and not just say it. Talk love and just don't fake it. Seek love and just don't chase it. Embrace it but don't enslave it, share it but don't dare boast in it. Enjoy it but don't abuse it. Free it and watch it come back. Invest in it and watch it pay back. Wash your life in it, light your darkness with it, eat your food with it conduct your business with it and above all else Serve God in it. For whatever love is and is not, it's all of, for and From Him. He is LOVE! "

      I think that comes from the Bible . Let he who have not sinned cast the first stone ... As you will know stoning,s were a daily occurrence...back in that time . I do not believe myself as the Bible was written sooooo long after Jesus lived ... I believe Jesus was a normal man who started a religion. The bible is NOT his real story .. it was made up and edited ... a lot of the parts ended up in the bin . I enjoyed some of the moral stories . It is the judgemental parts. I find so wrong and dangerous . Every person interprets it differently too . Sadly to the detriment of their relationships with family or friends ... what Jesus meant by that or moses or whoever . Who says who has interpreted it correctly. Considering they also put the time frame in as the same time frame dinosaurs roamed the earth . Not one mention in the Bible ???? Pretty BIG oversight to say the least .... As I have said good moral stories but not to try and live life by in the 21st century ! ! Impossible.... just like some of the bible stories...🤷‍♀️ lol .👍✌. I believe Jesus was a good man who challenged the system. For that he was a good man but that's my point . Just like Tom Paine , Gandhi. Dr M.L.K.jr , Che Guevera, William Wilberforce William Wallace , Keir Hardie etc (I know I have missed a lot but this would go on forever so I was just trying to get a short mix of good men . That is who Jesus was. A man who saw the wrongs and injustices Who decided to act to try and bring much needed change .Even when the power is against them ! Brave men but no sons of God . I am obviously just putting forward my opinion . I can't speak for anyone else obviously ! !. I admire all the men on the list for doing what they did In their way to try and make a difference ! It is a trait that we seem to have lost with all the new laws passed . It is something that is not seen as much nowadays ! We could be doing with some modern day heroes of this caliber ! I really can,t think of ANYONE today as selfless and brave ! ✌ Good wishes and hats off to anyone who is trying to make a difference in this cold selfish world we live in today ! ! Sadly so many on this list were assassinated ! The truth is said to set us free ? Not so much as shot . What a world !
