Judge Not

I'm sitting at work. I have 30mins to clock in. I'm nervous... Anxious... So much has happened. So many people feel so many ways. Some pretend to care, while others... Well. I guess they don't matter. Everybody wants something, needs something, but most aren't willing to give up anything to gain anything.

I've given up so much over the past few years, and I've gained a lot. Sometimes, I forget what I've gone through, letting mySelf fall back into old habits. Fear will do that to you. I try so hard everyday to grow and evolve, what will keep a man from doing that is allowing the judgment of others to dictate your own thoughts. What matters is how you feel about yourself. If you never learn to feel good about you, then all the pain that was caused to you will begin to seep into our everyday lives. And in turn the very thing that you didn't and don't want others to do to you you do to them. One thing that I'm learning to give up is judgment.

"Judge not, less ye be judged."

The Beginning

For the past few days I have been "gun-ho" about finding new avenues of income. I'd tell mySelf, "You're so talented. You can do many things that people would LOVE to pay for." I'd scramble looking through out dated writer's references trying and hoping to find a publisher who would publish my poetry, and novels and memoirs, and what not so I can make a buck. That's not why I was blessed with these talents. I wasn't blessed to make a dollar off of them, but blessed to share my experience so that others might make it through this hard and trying LiFE. 

So it is today where I have decided to open my heart, mind, and hands, shedding my skin so that I can lay m+E at the 'alter' and cleanse mySelf through word. I hope that this may find the right people, and touch there hearts. This is only the beginning. 

The Beginning:

Everyone on our beautiful Blue-green planet has a story to tell that can greatly impact another.

There are 'good' stories with 'bad' parts, and 'bad' stories' with 'good' parts. 

Many keep their stories a deep dark secret, while others scream it for all to hear. 

Some are afraid to face their own story. 

Others have chosen to "forget" altogether. 

Fear has entangled deep in their mind, 

causing them to run, hide, and not face the reality of their own situation. 

Afraid of being rejected, judged, ostracized, or even killed. 

Fear can keep a man bound from his freedom, his truth, and his success. 

I have had fear in my heart, and I pray that with each key stroke 

I am set free. 

Peace and Blessings
