James W. Inspirational Thoughts

Its many people whom have traveled down the exact same path in life, struggling to accomplish what they set out to do. Problem is, some people make it, some people don't. But for those that do, what is it they did that you didn't do? Perhaps they were more determined than you, unwilling to succumb to failure, unwilling to give up, and unwilling to be defeated. You see, its easy to sit back and say what's meant and not meant for you, electing to settle with failure. And its nothing wrong with that, but at least give yourself a chance, putting your best foot forward, knowing that you gave it everything you had, yet still came up short. Only then can failure be accepted.

It's truly amazing how some people will reject healthy advice, even if it benefits them despite its appeal. If advice lacks appeal, its ignored and not acknowledged. Did you ever stop to think that outside sources can often times be the best source of gaining knowledge? Perhaps you should stop relying on your own thoughts, and realize that the power of the brain extends outside of your own.

Any and everything man has touched, has become tainted, filled with deception and falsifications. So nothing under the sun is pure, including the holy bible, believe that. Christianity is as tainted as high fructose corn syrup, littered with the fingerprints of man's stamp of approval. Nobody is doubting the existence of Jesus Christ, but lets be honest, many things were strategically left out of the bible in order to keep us honest. This is also not to say the bible isn't tr ue to its word, but if it were written in its purest form under the old testament, why would it have to be rewritten? We're talking about 2000 year old documents that were written by scribes, and with the exchanging of hands over the years, God only knows how much information was edited out and added to those documents. But what we do know, is that the bible of today, has been used for nothing more than a tool to judge people.

If you suffer from low self esteem, or even if you don't, just know, that you are a very beautiful person through and through, and don't ever let anyone take that away from you. So just because you may not have what you want in companionship at this present moment, that has nothing to do with the person you see in the mirror. Sometimes its just a matter of being in the right place at the right time, and allowing your beauty to be seen for public consumption. Never allow yourself to be discouraged, and stop comparing yourself to those you view as beautiful. Because as beautiful as you may see someone else as being, someone is looking at you in that exact same light, only you're not noticing because your eyes and mind is closed from noticing.

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.
