Dear Headphones,
Black & White..My blog is in black and white. Not because I don't want to put colours, its because of the way I view things in life now. Not black and white, but just simple and less complicated. Also because of the incredible way words can paint a picture. Every word is a paint drop, a line drawn and a pixel created. I'd like to say, that words describe everything. Although a picture paints a thousand words, a thousand words paint a picture in detail, even better High Definition.
Just a religion? Not exactly.Some question the very existence of a religion, be it Buddhism, Catholic, Christianity, Muslim or Judaism, and the question most often asked, even by the most stanch of believers and free thinkers is, "Why people believe differently?"
Well, it is my blog and I'm going say it my way, because one of the many principles that rule my life, is that of having a global mindset. I believe that no matter who you believe in, its the direction of that belief that you require. Subconsciously, people start believing in religions, is the fact that they believe that the path that the religion shows is right & that there is a path away to make everything right again. Everyone needs to believe when there is nothing earthly left to believe in. When all else fails, and everything seems to just fade away, the worst thing you can do, is throw your life away, this by drinking stupid, taking drugs and killing yourself emotionally and physically just dying. If you're not dead, you wake up and find that just another has past and you're stuck with that same feeling you wanted to throw away.
What I'm aiming at? I'm aiming at saving yourself be it in whatever you believe in. People can tell you, its going to be ok, Tv shows can portray a beautiful sunset, but are you the actor or actress in the movie? 99% of the time you try and hope that it'll all work out, but you're just giving 1% of your effort. That 1% of your effort is just getting your butt of the couch and stare at the problem. Crudely, the problem is laughing at you.
Religions don't offer a temporary ecstasy of happiness that you jump around or pray and ask for everything to be ok. Religions offer more, a path, a direction, a goal and a way. So this comes back to my question, are religions just going to a place of worship and closing your eyes of 30 mins just letting your heart out? No. Religions gets your arse moving and teaches you to tackle the problem. Having problem with your studies? Love? Family? Finance? Here's how religion helps you, it helps you think and not continuously complain about your problems hoping someone hears it and by tomorrow make it disappear. It helps you think through what you've been doing wrong, how to free your mind, how to do things correctly, anaylse your goals have a better life, that's what you should be thinking and talking bout. What you should not be thinking an talking bout, is what had already happened and brood about it.
Compare having a self help book or a book that tells you how to get rich in 10 days, to just having a path to follow that is pre-destined? Between doing things right and doing things that a guy wearing a nice suit with a big smile saying you can do it and gives you 10 reasons why you can, which is simpler?
Guess you feel scammed now right? Buying that book.
Concluding, I'd just like to say, I'm a Christian, I'm proud of it because I can learn to make my life better, get out of the crap yard and instead of collecting crap to live on, see the wonder and glory of God.
P.s. I am not insulting or creating acquisitions that other religions are bad, I am just pointing out, why we want people to believe in themselves and a religion. Its not because we want your money, not because we are desperate of members, not because of the fact that you're pretty or handsome and best of all, not because we want an audience at an event. We just want to show you, you're not alone. So take our hand and open your eyes.
"Live" for.. During today's sharing of words and revelations while prayer, I had a word that popped into my mind. But it was a word I could not fabricate a way to say it out to the CG, it was too big. Following that word, came many other words, words that meant important things in my life and many other lives, so I hope you all read this.
The word that came into my mind, was "Live". Praying, I asked God, "why Live?" God gaves us a life to live, yes. Than came the big lightbulb. I smiled to myself, and I knew. This word spread, throughout my life, and it may spread throughout yours too. Why? Because have you ever thought about, who what why when how you "Live" for someone or something? Its a purpose. God's purpose for me. I fabricated these purposes in my life to live for. Thanks be to God.
"Live" for
- God
- Jesus
- Friends
- Family
- Music
- Love
- Right
- Studies
- Choice
- Glory of God
- Glory of Jesus
- The needy people
- The moment I glorify my MUM
- The people in my life.
The list just goes on and on. I'm selfless by nature, so naturally I want to give my all for everyone else. So today, think about what you live for. I've actually alot more to say, hope you all get the idea why this word is BIG in our lives and could make a difference yours.
Aight shall blog till here, I somehow feel I've painted a "Da Vinci". LOL.. Take Care Yall!!
