A Single Thought

So can I just say, Herbal Tea is like a drug to this afro hippie. I need it to feed my mind seeds. Pau d'arco bark, dandelion seeds, cherry blend with lemon and honey. OH sweet chile speak them lovely caressing words to me. I am sure to swoon! Anyway .. moving on.. I come to you today with what I think is an important message. One I have been stressin to the masses for years. How much attention do you pay to your thoughts? Are you letting the brain, tell you what is good or bad? Your brain is a tool that you run things by to process. It does not run you, you operate it! Most times it is simply replaying past events it was told to compute previously, by YOU, simply out of boredom, When you haven't given it anything to do. Stop Relax Meditate on this! Bring back control to your essence, soul, spirit! Are YOU thinking positively? Let me make this simple. Positive thoughts begets positive attitudes begets positive experiences. You, yourself have the power over YOU! Not the thoughts that sway like a marquee of constant warning. Instead ponder on this food for thought: How do you choose to accept life? Don't let the past make a decision for you. When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at will change. Power is in the perception, how do you accept it? Life experiences can at times seem disheartening, that's the fear that the brain is telling you to accept, becuase you've been thru a lesson like this before and didn't conquer. Don't be afraid. You had the previous event to teach you how to handle this one. NOW you have been built to prevail! Take the challenge with a smile for you know better now. Silence the brain, let your conscious present state of positivity win out! Your greatness is not what you have, it's what you give. SO what are you giving to others, better yet what are you giving to yourself? Be a better example for the brain so it can stop warning and start encouraging your dreams!
Peace Light and Love

Emo/Ego arguments

So I'm sitting here, eating pancakes and scrambled eggs while sipping on some OJ. Meditating on an argument I had last week. It got blown out proportion because of the other individuals emotions. It got me to thinking, how many ppl argue like this. Cause Honestly in the midst of it, I was laughing at the incredulous behavior. Wondering is this kat has even taking two seconds to savor what I am saying or is he just trying to let free his bottled up emotions he's had for weeks, unbewknownest to me, before he unleashed his feelings in his overflow. Background:This conversation had been about a month in the wind waiting. This is BCuz said individual was avoiding me, preferring to keep his steam about what he "figured" was a disagreement, again all unbeknownest to me. I "assume" prior to the month long wait, He plainly thought to himself what he didn't like about my actions, from one thing to the next. Never, not once did the thought occur to him to inquire with me about what he didn't like or thought inappropriate. Just complete dismissal of our friendship. AND YES we were, what I thought to be very GOOD friends, close to family even. But is this how you treat family, like its nothing to write them out of your life. *shrug* Guess I'm the only one who doesn't operate my relations that way, out of spite (anymore). ANYWHO I'm trying to get around to say, take a look at how you argue or better yet converse. Are you listening? Are you being objective? You know that thing you do, when you bring up old shit, & no, not as a reference but as an opportunity to onslaught your opponent, with the fact that you been thinking they are all bad for several reasons, you aint said shit about til now. That Part. & Are you even, reflecting on what is being said to you? Are you only hearing excuse after excuse, instead of reason? Do you pull from past disagreements, making them hold weight to this situation, even tho the person you are debating is not the same? I ask because I have noticed the emotions of the ego often get in the way. Its hard to find someone who is looking for solution. Most boast and just want their say on the matter expressed, and volitile and angered words seem to come out first. This is not how we can make amends. But is that even your agenda? Have we been conditioned to only react with the attempt to slay an opponent no matter who it is. When do we consider the potential of reconcilation. Do you consider that at all? Does the weight of the measure of the friendship come into concern with the way you speak to someone. Word are things, and They do bring harm or hope. How many ties have you severed that weren't giving the opportunity to gain understanding of why someone does what they do? I'm not saying I am innocent I have been guilty too. BUT I am maturing and growing up, recognizing I am better than that. I hold more weight to the friendships I make. But I am also reminded "not to cast thy pearl before swine" this is obvious to me now. That I may think higher of some than them of me. I hope and dream for many more to to stop & think or better yet, seek to find out why before accepting offence. Try reasoning at least for a little bit. Try that shoe on for size, you might just find it fits you just right!
