Negativity posed as risk management!


Negativity is an emotional state of mind, mostly of procrastinators and pessimists, or maybe often a tactic employed by people who fish for information because they know naturally anyone who has a good heart would rise to defend their stance! Now I have resolved not to pacify fears! If you feel you can't then you will find every reason to tear down the stars of the Skye. If you believe in yourself, you will ask
questions that would indicate you are reaching for the sun! If you are afraid of burning your wings, then crawl like a lizard! Has anyone reached the sun yet? Why set limitations before you even started, be it for you or others?

Risk assessment! ‘Living at risk is jumping off the cliff and building your wings on the way down.’
— Ray Bradbury

Everyone wants to stay alive, yet they want to succeed! Does a child learn to walk without falling? Is he/she aware of the fall when making the first step? Does that prevent the child from growing further i.e. running, climbing? Those who are afraid of heights are usually those who are afraid to fall. Success comes at a price and it has greater rewards, you will be teaming with the champs!

I have noticed that many listen a lot to unfounded "imaginative" fears of others and their imagination running away with them, rather than devising creative "security" solutions! As much as having a sense of fear is an inbuilt by nature instinct to protect in order to survive, growth demands that you face the dangers! Your battle wounds are your medals, not shame!

How many know how to project? What if this and what If that? Thats how generals plan wars! Wars are not won by good or bad people, wars are won buy those who strategise well and have a really valid purpose; better if it is noble because the source of the drive "energy" is in there and will never end because so long as the world keeps trying to get worse, you have a job at always maintaining or pushing the standards up!

The danger of falling for emotions is that decisions never get taken! What if you have no other choice than to survive? What would you do other than get struck by fear in front of a moving train? Are you afraid of the speed? If there is no adrenalin rush, it indicates no motivation. Motivation is the sister to creativity!

Risk assessment to me is about projecting and creating Crossroads!
Imagine yourself approaching a field where there is nothing, or a thick forest with no roads, what are you going to do, stand there and gase? Shouldn't you remember what got you there? The ideas are your compass, which would you take? Risk assessment is about taking informed decisions on the pros and cons, regardless of the dangers, you may just get lucky and hit gold or it would take you time, you really don't have much choice, every beginner has little money and plenty of time!

Obviously it is a lot easier to thread where others have but you will have to pay toll fees my dear! That is what Taxation is, a toll fee for you using what others have created or allow. Unexplored lands have dangers, but should you survey first before taking your flock through, you will reduce your risk level. Will you stand and finish what you started?

Why does man make it all about him?


Why does man make it all about him? Why do we bring up our daughters to think that marriage revolves around men? Why do we limit ourselves as women? I am hard on women because we are giving men the room to be lazy!

"Man" as he/she grows changes. The more he experiences the more he transforms his mind to accept that life doesn't just revolve around needs but the desires of the heart! A woman is an experience that should change man to be better. Feeding and procreating seems to be the basics of populating but what is surviving? There is a factor that many often miss!

SECURITY! The root of all evils and good! Should man not feel insecure there will be a whole load of love that goes around! Lack of security leads to possessiveness. Everyday we battle to gain security! In body, mind and soul! In body to sustain life, in mind and matter to find knowledge to sustain body in soul: stretching to find knowledge not to be the devils workshop; that can sustain body and mind together!

Self actualisation is the ultimate security any man can experience! Security is experience and it is experience itself. If I be just carnal I would inflict havoc because all I will seek is to eat and shelter! I have accepted death as a way to give my soul the opportunity to grow! I transend!

A girl that is made focused in looking at man as a source of her life is bound to treat the individual she lives with as a commodity! In return the male cages himself in the box he created! Of course there is danger that when you choose to chase the wind you may be lost but to others and never to self! We seek to keep our kids grounded in duties rather than rooted in knowledge,  to me that is dangerous! How can one ground a soul that wasn't made to be trapped in the body? We seldom use our minds to mediate between body and the soul! The "father" is grounded, he is the past. The Son he is today, survival. And the Holy Spirit, the stretcher of visions! How can today's survival justify the events of the past and hold tomorrow to be sure as the moment is?

Religion!!!


Religion is just an attempt of men to describe life, who created it and where we could possibly be looking out to grow! Those who seek to keep their status, will deny anyone having their own
interpretation of life, living and growth!

The sooner everyone gets busy in defining life for themselves the sooner they will be out of the bondage of other men, especially those of the past!

Faith is failing many who are following the visions of other men blindly and without the zeal to transform the old to new! There is no doubt that the foundations of current existing beliefs did give us the opportunity for search but sticking to one mentality is dangerous! It doesn't project knowledge. It's just information!

I feed of you, you are my religion but for me to grow, I have to leap from you! That's what I mean! How many see It this way. How many even try to give themselves wings? Religion is an allegiance to a thinking.

My Core is never compromised!!!


People are questioning my box,
What faith do you belong to?
I tell them to look at my profile for a read,
But they insist that i explain my deeds,
They want to hear my words,
If willingly i chose to be where i belong.

More often when you ask one about their allegiance,
They give you text book definitions,
At times they'd try persuade towards their needs.
Why does it matter where i belong?
So i could put you at ease?

In my own mind the words i seek,
In my own deeds my faith i seek.
My core is never compromised,
Its as dynamic as the world!
Don't you feel accepted with ease?

I guess we are living in times,
Where everyone wants to be defined,
Are we beginning to address?
The deeper meaning of religions?
If everyone went on their journey,
They would find out for themselves,
And would allow others to define themselves.

Why the need for prescription boundaries?
So that with ease, you make the choice to be a friend?
My mother didn't think it was important,
My father to the same degree,
They were more about your person.
That says it all for me.

If I should make my definition,
Would that not make an impression?
But if i should, id shout like TARZAN!!",
With Dreads or Afro, I walk bare feet,
Unaffected by the worlds impression,
Exploring all the sands, before i lay my greys to rest.

I cant deny that my theory,
Just like every could be wrong.
I seek no rights, nor wrong,
I seek myself within the world.

To sort out if you seek,
In many ancient spheres,
The Mayans, The Aborigines, The Asians,
The Southern Africa and Egypt,
A lot of similarities you'll find,
Their gods Must have been crazy.

Africa! The cradle of life, were most sit on trees,
They were the "Pilgrims & Gypsies",
We must have had some Faith at start,
Seeking the universe of dreams,
Migrating through the lands and seas.

Some pushed away their own ideas,
Agreeing with the methods of the elders.
The harsher the environment,
The harsher were the rules.
To cut an arm or give a cheek,
Which was the oldest of beliefs?

Some sought to control their own world,
Against the tyranny of a one built world,
Had to make up their own rules.
And there were always those,
Who liked to break the rules.

I meditate in Mountains and in fields,
And water zones and pick the energy of the sun,
The ropes of nature protect me,
I do not worship idle gods,
At least that's how it is for me.

May your core "principles" be not compromised,
Love thy neighbour as self.

WHAT IS THE INTENT BEHIND YOUR CHOICE!


I would like to understand a simple thing! Why are we so uptight about religion and lackadaisical to faith? If i can't have a laugh at religion then I have no faith! We are required in our days to apply some level of reason to scripts written by men, especially what was written 2000 years ago! Our religious representatives are making a mockery of our lives and we still hold on to scripts blindly!

A young lady questioned the story of the resurrection of Christ and people took it as an offence rather than try, even if you fail to provide an objective explanation to her! She asked why would any intelligent person believe in the resurrection of Christ? now one can decide to pick offence with the word intelligent or show her how unintelligent she is or ignore the question forever have her peace and make her ponder at the silence. But should we keep silent or should we try to persuade?

There are various angles to this, I tried to connect from a religious point if view, but I guess she wanted a scientific approach to it! Yes it dont make sense when looking from the science stand point but i am not strong in that area, but proceeded to try connect. I assumed and that did put an error to my approach. Assumptions make an ass of you and me, and we must satisfy curiosity both ours and others. Engage, full frontal or refrain from any discuss but should you, then be prepared. How many are prepared for battles with our consciousness. When someone questions you, don't draw back, all you need to do is first draw up the rules of engagement. Ask why she asked the question she asked, ask to clarify the position, and then you would be in a better position to give an answer.

I asked myself this question long a go, WHAT IS TRUE or FACTUAL. I continuously ask myself one simple question! Why should I believe in what I am told by other human beings who themselves get in a state of doubt? Am I brainless or have no right to question a picture painted to me? We live in a world today that shows little evidence of believers in their faith! The world is cold and people don't stand up for people any more, no one is able to explain rationally their beliefs. Everyone is getting sensitive when asked "WHY DO YOU BELIVE IN WHAT YOU BELIVE!" Did you accept your faith because you were told? Or did you accept because you have seen the manifestation of it in your life? Is it so hard to provide evidence?

A believer is a peaceful person because he has no fear about telling someone why, what, where, how, when! because he/she doesn't feel there is anything wrong with sharing experiences. Culturally we are brought up to be ashamed of our trials, everyone is made to present the fine face, and then that pressure gets to you where you are unable to differentiate Character from Beliefs. We think that being Christian/Muslim is who you are. Did the bible come out with you from the womb?

If you can't present evidence of your faith, then you are not able to defend it! No one says you owe anyone any explanation, and everyone should find their path, but at some point you need to ask yourself, in your dark moments "WHY YOU BELIVE IN WHAT TOU BELIVE!"

Saying you are a Christian or Muslim or Buddhist, or a Jedi isn't enough, your deeds question your faith! My journey in my faith started when I questioned the behaviour of man, why i found myself where i did! Why was i alive? I fell into depression and needed to get out! How can he hurt, how can he deny life to another in the bid to save his own life? You only realise you need God when you are in deep shit, or the world of man has struck you so bad, that you dont know what to do. Is it a shame to say YES I NEEDED YOU, AND PLEASE BE BY MY SIDE WHEN I GO THROUGH THE VALLYS OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH, AND I WILL FEAR NO EVEIL FOR THOU ARE WITH ME? how shameful can it be to ask for help, especially from someone you cant see or touch, but should you believe, his grace will fall. Its hard to trust man, let alone what you dont see. when they say surrender to his will they mean "LET GO, LET GO OF YOUR FEARS, AND HAVE THEM NOT RULE YOU."

The reason behind my questioning Christianity was because of the Christians that lived around me! But just because I question don't mean I have no faith, I test my faith by questioning me, why I feel, why I hate, why me!

There is a place in the bible that says, James 4:7 "study the word, so that when the devil "doubt" questions you, you are able to answer him! We all BELIVE things without evidence because we were told again that "blessed are those who see and BELIVE, but more blessed are those who hear and BELIVE and we leave it at that, contradictions all our lives. We don't pounder over what ever we see or what ever we hear! Trust is important to everyone but one cant get away with the "WHAT DONT YOU TRUST ME ENOUGH? When questioned we feel threatened, even when we don't see any attack! WHy have you given your negative emotions rule over Objectivity? A simple honest good morning can cause an argument if the person greeted wasn't feeling good about the morning! We have allowed all the negativity to thrive. We have turned into extremists. We are shoving our own ideas that we haven't pondered about on others in the bid to win souls, who gave you that target? The pastor that cant be bothered to educate you, arm you with the right approach to people, other than calling HELL FIRE? You are the one in hell fire because you are pressured to believe, if you weren't you would be meek! A soul is not won over by force! A soul is won over with words and the evidence of it!

I asked about 5months ago WHY IS THERE NO GOD? and today I found the answer, WE LIVE FAITHLESS LIVES. The further we go shying away from asking ourselves questions the darker we all become! There is no God because we are not in touch with our souls, and have little courage of our intentions!

Faith to me is the very word INTENTION! I again ask WHAT IS THE INTENT BEHIND YOUR CHOICE OF RELIGION? Why did you choose what you have chosen? What does it do for you? Why can't you defend your choice? Why can't you win the soul over? Why are you feeling threatened when someone says win me over? Have you built your faith on shaky grounds? Are you in your faith because you want to please another?

If someone doesn't BELIVE in God, then they have rationalised it for themselves! If you believed in God, why can't you rationalise it for yourself and seek evidence of it in your life? Don't you BELIVE that you are strong enough to stand in your defence? If anyone is ashamed of Me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels."

You have to make a stand for what you BELIVE in, and no one will question it if you make reason! An atheist will tell you why he don't BELIVE, why are Christians running? Christians have the most powerful tool on this planet, yet they have failed to use it! Their brain and the words that have been passed on from their ancestors, be it adopted or adapted to your needs!

Have you adapted to it without reason? I chose first my destiny, I then chose a religion that supports my destiny! I will present to you the picture of my destiny and show you how my religion supports it! Religion comes in handy only when one has identified their purpose, and it manifests faith in its works. Religion puts a presentation to your destiny! It is the skin, your destiny is the skeleton! Why are we so afraid to be questioned? Are we living a purposeless life? Are we selfish towards our own well being?

I did say earlier "I don't question faith, I question the knowledge behind it!" I want to dance with some body, I want to feel the heat with some body! That's what questioning is, I want to know you! Do you care to at least know yourself and leave me be me? They tell you unequally yoked, and you take it as a Christian and Muslim cant be friends. The spirit of the sheep and the wolf dont align, only lions play with lions.

If someone is mentally healthy, he is rich beyond measure.


If someone is mentally healthy he is wealthy beyond measure. Should there be good education no child would need to look at what the father had earned!

There is a simple thing I look at when I see no progress in ones life! Are the kids paying the price of their 4 fathers sins? What I mean by this is! If your fathers earned their lot through looting, they will not be able to pass on their skills, hence you see the kids if some rich men don't become anything and squander their fathers riches!

How many thieves tell their child the secrets of their trade? Every parent wants to be upright in their child's face! An honest man always shows his kids the ropes of his trade, and warns them to be careful of poachers. What good advice can a thief give his child? He is afraid because he knows that his child doesn't have the same strengths as him. God doesn't give vision to the evil. A poor man has wealth but may not be rich, his kids are always safe and he helps them, even if he doesn't give them all!

Making comparisons between people and feeling inadequate is a sign of weakness! Man does not live by bread alone but the strength of his mind and skill of the heart! Worry not for I am that I am! He trusts life because he understands it! Wealth is eternal, riches always go back to the people it was taken from! Be steadfast - be vigilant for I send you amidst wolves, relent not in thy trade!

Principles, principles, principles they bring life and keep you safe! Every man was born perfect but we mess with their character and they become prey! Hold your kids strong!

My heart greaves!!!

My heart greaves when i hear people talk about risk, yet have given themselves no promise.
Were the Israelites given reasons why they wouldn't get out of Egypt or were they given the Promise land? Yes there was an opposition to the idea for leaving, but i don't know if Moses would have succeeded should he have listened to the cries of the fearful. He came together with men that thought like him and had strengths (THE BOARD). Life in Egypt was unbearable as it was and the people were complaining about it, as a leader he had to do something, but they also complained when they reached the promise land, I am sure he told them "You have been given your promise, you are now free but you must earn your liberties. Rome was not built in one day, but by those who willed it so and same should happen with Africa.

Yes the Pharaoh was strong, yet he was defeated because of his arrogance and lack of knowledge. Being relentless means gathering knowledge to beat the obstacle, thats the Job of leaders, and not listening to cries. If you want to stay where you are, you are right it wouldn't work. If you want to grow, you will have to break out of the cocoon.

I am very intolerant to pessimism or those who call themselves realists by putting forward their fears as facts yet no alternative solution. When someone tells me it is impossible and dishes out textbook grammar, i dont listen. there is a huge risk in being too good. I am abrasive to people with emotions or attitudes. Pessimism brings nothing but strife, depression and that leads to nothing being done. I am a positive person, but not a dreamer because i put my brain and feet to work. If i see no commitment i dont negotiate, i stop any discuss before it wastes my time.

Everyday your pastors are saying "cast it in Jesus name and it will be well," maybe they should be more technical about it 'remove your emotions out of your way, clear your head off your fears before you say a word that would determine your own faith. Just as they say out of the abundance the heart, mouth speaketh so it is with "My word shall not go forth and return void," there is a reason people dont speak about their ideas in public and that is because of those who with their pessimism create the impression; Its called trashing and no one would like to associate with trash but with a promise.

Mind how you brand someones idea, if you find out they are doing something, ask appropriate questions that dont diminish the dream and if you must state something not good, send a message to their inbox. Should you have what to add, add constructive criticism i.e. an alternative to what has been presented, that shows collaboration because no one likes to join a fight.

Impossible - i am possible, ever tried breaking down negative words in positive ways? "If you can dream it you can do it" can also be seen as "If you can plan it you can implement it".
