James W. Inspirational Thoughts

The power of prayer is one of the most powerful sources we have as humans, yet many misunderstand its results. Whether you know it or not, often times your prayers are met, more times than you know. Those same prayers you've long to be answered, aren't visible to the naked eye, because your eyes are not open to the results. Blessings aren't answered in the form of convenience, meaning, your prayers aren't going to be handed to you on a silver platter, but rather in an indirect way to open your eyes to other aspects of life. The path God provides to you through prayer, rewards you based on your acceptance of the path he has chosen for you. How do you know if you've chosen the right path? Once you've allowed yourself to step away from your comfort zone, your prayers will be revealed to you.

You've got to stop listening to people that are always feeding you negative energy. Life itself can be a challenge, so why allow someone to add on to what you already have? Sometimes the good outweighs the bad, and vise versa, that's life, but you cannot allow someone to tamper with (your) scales God created for you, strategically designed, and tailored towards rounding you into the person you are today.

Have you ever heard of unconventional blessings? Unconventional blessings are (coded) blessings, coming to you in silence, designed for nobody to know about, but you, and only you, and not to be shared. They can also come to you in ways that will make you uncomfortable, taking you completely out of your comfort zone. This is why you keep missing out on golden opportunities, because it came to you in a way you weren't accustomed. So in the future, just remember, blessings you've always wanted, don't necessarily come the way (you) want them to come, that's not real life. They will come in ways that may bring you discomfort, and yet reap big rewards. It's nobodies business how you received your blessings, nor should you allow anyone to dictate, and make you feel guilty in trying to obligate you into revealing your sources. Your only obligation is to yourself and the spirit of your welfare.

If you could go back in time, and change course of the worse experience you've had in your life, would you do it? If so, how could you have become the person you are today? You see, its easy to sit back and reverse course on things you deem, "unacceptable", wishing things could have gone differently. But it wouldn't have rounded you into the person you are today. Despite your past, whether through childhood or adulthood, those things were allowed to happen to you for a reason. And if those things have created lingering affects on you mentally, its because you haven't made peace with yourself, and the person you had issues with, or the decisions you made.

The amazing thing about life, society, and the people that surround us daily, is that (most) people aren't honest with themselves, nor are they honest with the people they need to be honest with. For example, some people aren't equipped to be parents, some people aren't equipped for marriage, some people aren't equipped to be leaders, and some people aren't equipped to have a conversation with. Yet here we are, surrounded by these exact same people, not having a clue who they really are upon looking themselves in mirror. And if you ask these same people are they qualified, 99% of them will tell you yes. These exact same people that can't meet the requirements, are the very same people that blame others for there failures in those categories. The paper trail leads right to them, and they can't even see it.

Have you ever thought about why a person hates you for no apparent reason? Its probably because you possess something about you they wish they had. It's funny how envious and hatred run hand and hand, bonding together like Velcro in some cases. One would think, rather than hate the person you're envious of, why not converse with that person, swallow your pride, and ask for pointers?
