James W. Inspirational Thoughts

Its been said by some, that we should always avoid our demons at all cost, and pray for God to rescue us away from them to avoid future setbacks in life. Well, that may be true, "in some cases", but not necessarily true in all cases. Facing your demons does not necessarily resonate into bad fortunes, nor does it lesson you as an individual for accepting them. If anything, it strengthens you in that you've come full circle with your life, understanding that once you've faced those demons, they can no longer bother you UNLESS you allow them to. Never view your demons as a disadvantage in life, as you must use them as an (advantage), knowing that you will never allow history to repeat itself in your life.

Would you consider yourself an enigma? Chances are you don't, but then if so, you're probably in denial about yourself. Because if you've been consistently misunderstood, somewhat contradictory in your behavior, you truly are an enigma. And besides, if indeed this does apply to you, don't be ashamed to admit it, nor afraid to admit it, as this can be applied to most anybody at any given time pending the circumstances. Plus, in some cases this can work in your favor, as it gives you the luxury of keeping your adversaries at bay, consistently keeping them off balanced and wondering how to take you.

What if you could go to that special place you go that brings peace to your inner soul? Do you often times find yourself lost in that special place? If so, don't feel guilty, as we all have that special place we resort to when things aren't going well. It's like an outer body experience you never want to end, only it does. But then, have you ever thought about who gave you those thoughts to take you to that special place? If not, just remember whom is always in charge, God. He gave you those thoughts, giving you that inner peace you so long desire in times of need, So in the future, when you find yourself entering that world nobody knows about, just remember that its God keeping you company, sending you where you need to be.

Have you ever had your feelings hurt to the point you ask yourself, "Why did this person do this to me"? Do you think they did it intentionally/unintentionally? Do you think its something you did to provoke them to inflict pain on you? Lets elaborate on provoke for a moment. Believe it or not, sometimes we (provoke) people to say or do things to us, not knowing, understanding, or recognizing what we said or did was wrong. Yes you can only be yourself, but you have to have the understanding that everybody is different, no two people are alike. Therefore you can't just say what you want to say, do what you want to do, and walk away blindly, with the assumption that zero repercussion will come from it. Simply put, you're not as innocent as you think you are in the midst of your pain and suffering in relationships. Not to condone wrong doing, but don't kid yourself and think you're the innocent victim of foul play. Because in the end, nobody is wiling to incrimina

How would you view the bible in your mind? Do you believe in the things it says? Can you confirm the things said as being true? Due to its honesty in presenting short comings and failures, some believe sinful subtleties were conveniently prohibited from being written by scribes. Would you agree? Yes/no/maybe? Irregardless, we should (never) use the term convenience and bible in the same sentence, seeing as nothing throughout the bible spells convenience. However, if you read closely, you'll find that certain information was STRATEGICALLY left out, as God himself KNEW, that if revealed, weak minds would fail the test of time no matter the circumstances. So in essence, everything is not meant for you to know.

Have you ever just sat back and thought about your inner thoughts? Meaning, the things you become stressed/depressed about? No, have you really just took the time and marinated over the things that bring you unhappiness? Chances are you didn't, because if you did, you would know that most everything that contributes to your unhappiness, you have FULL control over. 90% of your unhappiness stems from things (beyond) your control. Get it? Read over this a few times and you'll get it, and once you do, apply it and watch the results, instant happiness.
