You Really Should...?!

You Really Should...?!
The Season of walking alone with God...
Only "He Knows"

Picture
"You Really Should...?!"

Who Do We Allow to Speak into our Life?

Have we considered...what there life represents?! 

No One Has all the Answers...even here I share a Perspective from the Journey that I'm Walking.  "Not Answers" ...A Perspective

You Really Should...?!

You, I, We... Really Should Consider, who speaks into our life, we should consider what we "allow" to resonate, to reside into our hearts...

My Perspective, I don't know or have all the answers, I live "Exercising" my Truth, "An Exercise" drawing from, living on My Truth, on my Faith...to Simplify...Living on "What I'm Willing to Die On" that determines my truth.

What Truth are we Willing to Die On...
I live on what I've experienced "first-hand" not just what I've read, or what "they", or "he" or "she" said on what "I'm Willing to Die On"

You Really Should...

My Journey is so much more than me...the subject of "ME" is extremely boring, extremely limited, my heart is filled with...that someone who can't see there way out of a dark room...to know someone gets it..to consider...there can be more, there can be someone "who lives in" someone who can understand the gravity, the weight of pain...that "exercises" walking through, not mastered, walking through...that is "fulfilling" for me.

You Really Should...

My Resume is pointless...
Who really cares, I'm walking in...taking what tried to steal my joy, my son's lives and generations to follow, pain that tried to take our focus, our hope, our future

Taking "All of it" every single moment and making  "The Pain Pay Dividends..."
Pain Owes Me
Not because I don't understand Loss
Because it tried to 'Rob" my sons...that makes it personal

So How Can it Pay...
When my Eagle Call is Answered
When Lives are Changed
My Name in "parenthesis" is not needed
​You Really Should...

Live Full
Live in Your Truth
Live in What You're Willing To Die On

You Really Should...

We should be respectful of who speaks into our lives, of who has something to say In the Name of Love
and
With Good Intent

Then You, I, We have to decide what is an asset
We have to decide to keep our Focus
We have to decide what to take from the buffet table set before us 


We Really Should...

Thank You for being Here
Thank You for Sharing
Thank You for Caring
Thank You for Wearing, Sharing, Surrounding Your Life with this Eagle Call

You Really Should

We have to walk some of this Journey "Alone"
"Choosing" to live each day on What we're Willing to Die On...

Keep Your Focus

Emotions Don't Determine the Distance
Photos and Posts Don't Defined the Truth
There is Always a Story Behind a Smile

Keep Your Focus
Embrace "Your" Journey
Don't Get Distracted by What is on the Right or On the Left

We Can't Direct the Wind

Love these words...

"We Can't Direct the Wind, but We Can Adjust the Sails"

From that thoughts flow and reflecting on...

"As a Man Thinketh in his heart, so is he"  Proverbs 23:7

"...but be transformed by the renewing of your mind..." Romans 12:2

It takes the same energy to address challenges, distractions, pursuits etc and the  change, the effort is not determined by how "we feel" emotions are very unstable.  ​
When you can "feed your perspective", when your work is within. Like a seed what is inside will grow and it is not limited, it can expand and become stronger and no matter the winds, the storm, the disruptions, the thoughts that battle your peace, "living inside out" is the muscle and it can outrun external things around you.

How?!

Not an answer, a perspective for you to consider, to mode to your own journey

Consider, if a rock is blocking your way, your perspective, your focus goes beyond the rock, it will even consider what can be learned about the rock and the focus will see the areas around the rock and even more what can be done with the rock on your present day journey and even shared with others traveling with you or coming up behind.  

It is not the Wind
It is not the Storm
It is not the Distractions
Is is not the Thoughts that come to weigh you down, to whisper defeat

It is the Adjusting of the Sails
It is feeding, overeating on the words, the media that empowers your perspective
In those places you find solutions
IN those places even without having an answer...You Have Peace

Peace allows us to hear, to see, to know, to find Solutions
To take what is in our hand and to see the Value of that
To Recognize what is priceless

"We Can't Direct the Wind but We Can Adjust the Sails"

In An Instant

Blueprints are torn up, plans are changed, in fact, the route, the journey, the path is not only unknown, but it is also no longer familiar.  The view has changed…

In An Instant 

What was stable, secure, known is now a question mark.  The work is necessary for all areas and for me, that included my core, my center, my faith, my Creator

For me, Faith has been my anchor, not by what I read, or heard about, but by Firsthand Experience.  My Creator, God is a Father, a relationship and I’ve always known there are Hills and Valleys along life’s journey, I’ve walked my share of both.  With all I’ve known and know, I didn’t know…This Gravity of a Storm was allowed…

Trust becomes a question...

In An Instant

When Life is Disrupted
The door is kicked in
Things are thrown around
You find your “core” you find out the strength of your muscles physically, mentally and spiritually...not because you were looking to find out….not an option
the moment chooses you


In An Instant

This is on the heels of a “Tragic” loss of Kobe Bryant and his daughter and all the family members...my family knows firsthand the “Ripple” effect.
My Heart, my Thoughts and Prayers go out to these families.  


In An Instant

My family is more than my household, it runs 7 levels deep and wide...A Ripple effect that present-day continues to travel in numerous households, numerous families and friends

In An Instant


So much more than what you “possess” it is a connection that is “ripped” from your life In An instant


I often share my Heart is Tattooed forever, true statement, life continues the same as it should with scars, heart tattoos but it is the cycle of life. 
  Tattooed hearts, tears in celebration.  Thank God for Faith, hope beyond a Grave.

”In An Instant”


​
The subtitle of every page written along my journey is “No One Promise Me Tomorrow Will Look the Same As Today” it doesn’t mean I’m not attached to emotions, to thoughts, it means that the Wisdom of That, is that I live with Intent in moments
Standing on my Truth, continuing to seek Wisdom from my Creator
​

In An Instant

That Truth…
Picture

“No One Promised Us that Tomorrow will look the Same as Today” allows the decisions in a moment, determines the Words Spoken, determines the actions, it determines the Decision in the Moment.

In An Instant

Why does sharing fulfill me because I experienced “Choice”, I experience choosing to Love, to share Laughter, to give Space when needed and Yes, Life was Altered in an Instant which tattooed my heart but I lived full, I lived Gratitude and because of that I robbed the thief named Regret…and that is the Gift I want to share, the power that, robbing the Thief, making Pain Pay Dividends, Soaring "daily work and exercise" above the storm. 

A gift 
That I want many to experience
I want “us” to live accountable, not pointing fingers
I want us to Love
I want us to Confront issues "we" all have in our lives, personal work
I want us to Know our Truth
I want us to Speak our Heart
I want us to Live with and operating with others with Gratitude 


So When Life “Shifts” not If, but when we will fill the gravity of the Chair Removed
Space no longer occupied 
But 
We 


In An Instant 
Will Add a Tattoo to our Heart
Not a Weight
Not a Regret

In An Instant

We will walk into the Next Chapter 
Looking around and asking...How Can I be of Service on the pages to be written in our lives
How Can I take “In An Instant”
And fill it with Being the Change


Our Life being used as a Seed into the lives of many
Not the Same for all of us
Not a Platform
Not a Stage
A Seed Planted everywhere our daily travel takes us

In An Instant

Shake Awake, participate in moments, participate in making others smile,
deliver Peace in the room that you enter…


The Work is within
Within spills out into what surrounds you 
That is the Priceless Commodity

In An Instant
Decide To
Live Inside Out
