The resilience of spirit is far underrated in times of uncertainty and change. Never should any of us forget that we are bigger than our circumstances, and more factual about own own lives than Wall Street and CNN.
To move forward, we have to all continue to believe that we are not equal to the circumstances that surround us. God is not the author of junk nor of castaways. That's humanity's mistake, not God's. We all need to beware of the negative spirits that bring about death of the mind, soul and eventually body from the negative toxins that are created when we are stressed and frustrated. So what is one solution?
Well, you're reading it. They are words. Let them travel through your soul. I pray you find your journey most pleasant, and your destination one that welcomes the positive changes you are soon to discover. Just keep on the right road. Clouds may look loathsome in our lives, but it is the cloud that holds the rain of regeneration.
So let's all join hands, and dance in the rain.
P.S. Words are all around us. But words also have an ultimatum based on the purpose of those who put them out into the hard-copy and wireless universe. Somewhere in the bible there is a passage about the power of the princes of the air.
(Truth is I would look it up but then I'd lose my train of thought to the thief called "short term memory due to sleep deprivation-by-choice, or as I call it, "Muse overload due to massive invasions of inspiration." So I'll just keep on typing. Maybe looking up the passage might help people discover a spiritual truth or two,
God bless y'all. . . that's my rap.

Surviving The Times
Oh those 1930s! If a family could survive & thrive back there you knew how to recycle your stuff. We didn't need any green commercials or foundations to teach us how to shake out a bread sack and put it over our shoes to keep our feet from getting wet because the boots were out of the budget. My parents, all three of them, were from that era. But what I wish I could have experienced was the resilience to deal with pain and tough times.
"Tough times don't last. Tough people do." Isn't that how the saying goes?
Well my friends, we need to correct ourselves. The times not getting tough. The times ARE tough! But what's that got to do with your success in anything?
Some of the most notable figures grew up in tough times. We read about them in success magazines. Do the names "Robert Kiyosaki" or "Donald Trump" or "Albert Einstein" ring a bell? How about "Oprah Winfrey?" Or "Sarah Breedlove (a.k.a. Madame CJ Walker, who was the first FEMALE millionaire in this country at a time when no one believed a black person living in America was any good for anything than cleaning a mansion and this woman owned TWO of them!
These men and women were not born in ideal situations. They didn't listen to the news around them that until things got better around them that they could not do better for themselves.
But there were born in times when they were taught that if you wanted something, they you have to go after it with a passion.
And if anyone tried to stop you from pursuing your passion with a vengence, or try to discourage you because of their own lack of a spine, then you just had to do what you had to do.
Maybe you are called "unrealistic" for wanting something that the majority of people never think they will ever achieve. Well I got a bit of news for your naysaying friends and family and neighbors.
NAYSAYING NIBBY-NOSE NEGATIVITY NEGOTIATING NON-ACHIEVERS ARE NOT YOUR PROBLEM. If anything, if their lack of belief in you is your kryptonite, then get away from them and surround yourself with people who will give you the Superman or Superwoman cape of protection you need to fly as high in the stratosphere of success as you choose to go.
The sky is not your limit....you 've got an entire galaxy to conquer. And if you don't go after it and discover what it is when everyone else is turning tail and running to hide behind the news, then I'll see you when you get there.
That's MY rap, blessin's 2 ya,

P.S. Ever stop to ponder--and I could be mistaken--that perhaps the core reason our nation is in the shape it's in right now, exactly 70 years from the first GREAT DEPRESSION is that those values that forged our ancestors of the 1930s were no longer necessary. Everything because instant and automatic. We forgot as a nation how to wait on change. Perhaps we even forgot how to wait on God.

People & Miracles
Like everyone else I could focus on the history of this amazing US Presidential Election. We could focus on the storms ahead of us. Or, we could focus on the rainbows.
It's our choice what we focus upon. So if the decisions we make end up being the wrong decisions, let us look in the mirror and blame ourselves for lack of vision.
However, if we learn nothing else about victories in politics, we need to be able to translate that into victories for ourselves and our families.
So if you never believed good can come from hopelessness, look at what we witnessed first hand. Don't get bored, it's really a "gotcha" kind of story.
And you will smile. . . God bless.
Here's the story. It's a great one. Click Here.
