Bullies

Many of us have dealt with these personalities since childhood. I don't know about you but I have a hard time cracking this personality at the work place. It seems to be those in management that are these bully personalities. So what does one do, Cave. I know that this is not the right thing to do but how does one combat these bullies?
I don't want to combat them.

I want to be able to have them see what they are doing is bullying and that is counterproductive to a long-term cohesive work environment. Maybe I am optimist. I usually get teased by others saying, 'Good Luck with that' ,'You're dreaming'. Well, guess what. If we don't try to change the circumstances around us and try to live the purposes of this life set before us. What is the point?

To Muddle one's way through is what we do. if one has a direction in life then this aimless search to change our 'world' will change. We can do it if we try.

The problem is people don't group together and tackle the establishment to change because "The Man" does beat us down. After all, "The Man" has the power and the ability to do so. It sucks. If we get enough people and raise enough hell, maybe then we can change our 'world' and start to live out the purposes meant for our lives.

Truth, u can't handle the truth

Some times it is the most necessary and difficult thing for a person to live with.
We know we crave it. But seldom do we prepare ourselves to handle it. We get mad, frustrated, and discombobulated. I know what I am. I am what I don't want to be. I want to be someone better than what I am. That is my current purpose that I am striving to change. Yes, I can change. The road hopefully won't be long, but probably difficult. But I am willing to do it.

Failure- it's what we do

If you are like me, you understand why you did it. What most of us don't get why we didn't prevent it.

How many times must one fail at something in order to take the necessary steps so that the action is not repeated? I wish I wouldn't do it. But I do it anyway. Apostle Paul had something to say about that.

When I reach this crux, I wonder, Will I ever overcome this problem that keeps on coming up? Can I actually do anything about it? Why does it just go away and not bother me anymore? One solution I keep on trying is the replacement theory. 1) You do something you don't like. 2) You don't want to do it anymore. 3) Replace it with something better to occupy that space in your life. 4) Will I keep this new habit up? This is the question. If I would just ask for help maybe then I wouldn't fail so often. Often I just feel like

I am standing still or unable to walk away from the problem that keeps holding me back.

it's living that counts

Well, i was listening to the sermon today and received a few good things i can apply throughout this week. It's not about witnessing. It's about living. Living out ur faith. Human contact.

Jesus didn't just come to do his thing but to establish contact with humans again since sin has removed us from his presence. We can't as Christians live in our culture. Christian church. Christian activities. How many non-Christians do we know and how often do we hang out with them so that Christ is visible to us in our lives but to others? How we live our lives is more important then just saying it.
Living out the purpose set before us given in the example of Jesus is the point.

Stop holding on to the rock in the middle of the raging river, going whew! i am safe and can rest for awhile to get out of this raging river. God is the raging river and we need to flow where he takes us and stop doing things we do that are safe. We are not called to safety but a life of risk. After all, that is a worthwhile purpose. Risky prop, but well worth it.

Drive or Die

Most of us see each day in our homes, workplace, and other social settings.
We can usually cipher who has it and who does not. of course, i am talking about the drive to accomplish a task and take initiative to start a new one. Why is it that people don't have drive?
Maybe their parents removed too many challenges in front of them so as kids, the person wouldn't drive against the obstacles placed in front of them. Succeed or fail. But trying is the key battle in which one can test whether or not they have drive. I have been lacking it in sufficient amount so i think I will make a list to accomplish with imposed deadlines. After all this might be the start of becoming better, evolving to some higher, or living out this purpose we have been given to us from God.

don't wanna waste my life

Just went to lecrae and crew at Club 3 degrees on Saturday.

It was sold out. It had some very typical aspects of what a Christian Concert is. Good music. Good message about not wasting your life.

So this blog is about asking this question,

What are u doing w/ ur life?
