Who is too different?

You?

Me?

Us?

Them?


Differences in life show us who we are and who can become. When temptation rears its ugly head of contempt toward another.


Conquer it.

We are way more similar than we like to admit.

We all bomb on decision making—from time to time.

Better decision making is a good place to begin.

Give the gift of freedom from owning one’s own likes and dislikes. (wk) And put them in the hand of some one who cares. Really cares. His will for you is beyond believe able. Because he believes in you.


It is ok to find the good in all things. When you


Stop.

Look.

Listen.


The choices we make, sometimes hundreds in a day, is best when they originate from the deep source of truth in our core. And then share with others. The good. The state of life holding at the center, the right to choose this or that, that or this.


Conquer oneself and regulate one’s life in such a way that no decision is made under the influence of any inordinate attachment.(wk). Give yourself a greater degree of the freedom from your own likes and dislikes, so that discernment is the will of the day.


Under the influence of any inordinate attachment.

Under the influence of any inordinate attachment.

Under the influence of any inordinate attachment.

Under the influence of any inordinate attachment.



Where is my stuffed teddy bear! Seriously though. Sometimes we all need a soft place to fall. Be that soft place to fall for self and others.


Differences are good.

Differences can be healthy.

Although the road to getting there may be bumpy.

Self righteousness doesn’t help.

There is an old time saying that the camera never lies.

But the personal interpretations may.

The chatter boxes are then let loose to blah, blah and blah some more.


How?

Sit down.

Have a sit down with your soul.

Invite the demons in your mind along for their input.

Leave the phone and self righteousness-ness at the door.

Admit you need the help of others.

It is ok.


Tap into inner empathy.

Be sensitive to emotional movements. Even in the hardest of individuals. These exist in the most unfortunate of ways sometimes. Examine events of the day. How did you do? Did you point and shoot? Or did you reach out and grab? Awake the inner sensitivities to one’s own actions toward self and others.


I don’t wanna.

I get it.

Me neither.

But we gotta.

Conquer the urge.



Someone is challenging you in a big way. To change and grow. This is a good thing. Best to not be indifferent about stuff. Draw on the wisdom of experienced individuals. There is another perspective that the camera never lies. Allow in the director and directions of your life to not be indifferent of the differences of our individual differences.


😳


Rein in impulsiveness or excesses, keep honest with self, honest with others. Be effective in your love not of a persons differences, but of their differences. Leaving all the work to enforcement of law community officers is one way. Good and honorable soldiers take an oath, make a vow to provide and ensure protection.


Let’s not make their jobs harder by goading, rioting and violence. A based life of one’s indifference or differences makes the same difference. It makes no difference. Indifference makes all the difference in the world.


Understand the choices in your own heart.


Then share. The best ones. The good ones. The great ones. Stay relevant to the needs of others. They may not even know how much they need the help of another.Go ahead. Give it a try. Even if it feels weird, if someone refers to you as weird. If you constantly feel off base. Chances are someone else does too.


Reactivity has a way of pummeling us in ways we never expect, anticipate or know.


React to another’s life with a gang busters mentality of love and regard. Surely you will be looked at as weird. Give it a try! Give it a go! You surely may be looked at as different😳☺️!


But not indifferent.

None of this is simple stuff.

And yet, the concept is so simple.


Why we choose to complicate matters can be this beautiful thing called life. Good and honorable soldiers know this. Good and honorable life soldiers. Good and honorable real oath taking protection soldiers. We do better together than we do apart. Why goad a situation of violence to put on the front page, screen or tongues of persons to read, repeat and/or gossip about?


Sad.But.True. Negativity “sells”.


Ads.

Stories.

Pictures.

Glories.


Could the real answer be to distract?

Possibly.

Throw the onus off of me and onto you?

Possibly.

Why?

To show our differences.

Ugh.


There must lie within the motivations of these actions a reason.

But what is the reason?

There are many.


If you were to create a billboard of your life, what would it look like? This be your great chance to pronounce to the world who you are on the busiest highway in our land? Everyone who passes by this “You” billboard would read all about you. The good, the bad, the ugly. And then would know you for you. What would you say? What would your billboard look like?



Would you be embarrassed? Chances are you probably put only good things on it, right? Well, truth be told, the truth is rarely told completely. Honestly. Fully. Wholly.


That is why someone constantly, completely and relentlessly challenges you to overcome the need to please. What happens next?

Once the billboard comes down. Are you history? Are you gone? Deleted. This is your fifteen minutes of fame. What would you please, say or opine about your life that you want to share for the betterment of mankind, personkind?


Those things we cannot see, the untouchable intangibles is a belief system in something greater than ourselves that we cannot see oftentimes is exactly what we need to see the most.


Quickly we find out that our differences don’t matter, life it too short, let’s get a move on for the good. Only good. If you share the gunk, chances are you just made someone’s day😀. Better. Stronger. More belonging.


What is not beautiful about that? Nothing.

What is beautiful about that? Everything.


What and how would you spend your fifteen minutes of fame?


Great question. Huh.
