The Seeker


If you truly want something bad enough, you'll find a way to make it happen. If you don't, you'll find an excuse.

You say you want that promotion at work, but when was the last time you asked to pick up an extra shift?

You say you want a new job, so tell me how many applications have you turned in to other businesses?

You say you want to find your soulmate, but when was the last time you put your heart out on the line?

You say you want to further your education, so what books are you currently reading and have you signed up for any classes yet?

You say you want to lose weight and get into better shape, so how have your eating habits changed and which exercises seem to be working best for you?

You say you want to be open-minded, but when was the last time you listened to another's opposing viewpoint that questioned your own personal beliefs?

You say you want to be adventurous, so tell me about a recent experience where you reacted on impulse by trying something new just for the heck of it?

You say you want to be a stronger person, so how have you been challenging yourself lately and what fears have you faced head-on?

You say you want to have more family- time, so tell me, how many hours this week have you spent with your parents? siblings? kids? spouse?

You say what you desire is real change...
Well if that's true, how bad do you want it? If it means that much to you, what are you willing to sacrifice?

Some people want it to happen.
Some people wish it would happen.
Others make it happen.

Stop talking and start doing!

Captive

Picture this... You sit in a locked prison cell, isolated. It's just you; no friends or family reside. You've been here so long, it's basically all you now know. It's home. One day, you hear footsteps walking towards your cell. They pause in front of your prison door. You hear what sounds like a set of keys jingling in their hands. Then a loud click rings through your ears, one that a lock makes as it becomes unlatched. The door swings open. The light from outside starts to engulf every inch of darkness that surrounds you. You cover your face because of your eyes' sensitivity to the brightness. Though you cannot see, you hear a man's voice as he says, "You're free. Go." Several seconds pass in silence. You don't move. Nothing happens. So he asks, "What's wrong? Don't you want to leave? Here's your chance." Although you don't possess much in your cell, you look around at what you do have... A pillow your ...

No Gifts

This holiday season, I want nothing. "Shame on you! Where is your Holiday spirit?" Before judgements pass, let me explain myself a little bit so that you can see where I'm coming from. First of all, I'm not angry. Nobody hurt my feelings. No one has me upset. And despite what some of you out there might think, I'm not trying to be a Scrooge in any way. This isn't my attempt to wage a war on Christmas, even if the media tries to convince our entire country of this so-called attack every single December. Last year it was Starbucks and their holiday cups and the year before that I believe it was Target. Heck, this year media platforms may even try to attack McDonald's because of their ball pit. I mean come on, it is a direct mockery of tree ornaments, am I right? Not wanting gifts doesn't stem from having a lack of money or a case of just me being broke . Thankfully, I still have enough in the bank to purchase new items for each of my family ...

Why Wait?

"One day: 2 of the most dangerous words in the English language." - Joshua F. Millburn You pretend you are invincible. You live as if there's a tomorrow. You procrastinate. You postpone. You take almost every aspect of your life for granted on an daily basis. You lie to yourself using phrases like "someday", "one day" and "later on". Why? Nothing in this life is promised to us. Nothing is permanent. And all three of those terms above represent an illusion of the future that is non-existent. You think time is on your side? You think he's your best friend? Well, I am sorry to break it to you... Time has NO friends. Zero. Zilch. Your past is nothing but memories. Your future is only a dream. Both exist soley in your brain. The present, the here and now, this very moment is all you have. Once you face that reality and fully embrace it, you then come to the realization that every single breath is nothing short of extraordinary...
