James W. Inspirational Thoughts

Its many things in life we have control over, and its many things we have zero control over. But the one thing in life we have absolutely no control over, many have tried to conquer, and that's "love". Its the one emotion that leaves us helpless, lost for words, and breaks us down to our lowest term. Its the one emotion that's not meant for us to control, although many have tried. Love doesn't judge, its unconditional, its caring, nurturing, kind, gentle, thoughtful, graceful, and it can't be controlled. Just look at it this way, if love could be controlled, nothing in life would be genuine.

You know what you see when you look in the mirror, because you know the mirror doesn't lie. You also know what's afforded to you based on what that image projects. If you don't believe in the image you project, how can you expect someone else to believe in it? If you are unhappy with the image you project, do something about it, and do what's necessary to enhance that image. Otherwise, you'll have to live with those limitations, and accept the realization that you have very limited options to choose from.

Sometimes in life, its the little subtleties we take for granted, going unnoticed, until that subtlety is removed from your life, that you realize the importance of that subtlety. Its not the big things that carry the most weight in your life, that's way to easy. Its those small things you think don't matter, tricking yourself into thinking it carries no impact in your life. Those are the ones that were strategically placed into your life for a reason, not for you to blow off and taken for some coincidence.

If you give someone your time, don't feel obligated to do so, because you can only do what you're able to do, nothing more. If someone is nice enough to give you their time, don't make them feel obligated to so, as they can only give you what's available to you. Simply put, its a privilege for any individual to give up themselves for anyone, (not) an obligation.

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.
