Don’t sleep walk and live carelessly, or you’ll end up living a lie with many troubles. Contemplate your motives and actions, so that in the end, you won’t regret your choices, and you will be pleased you made a decision to live consciously. Danny G.
All Power is From Within
Every disease is caused by one of these three things-thoughts, words or actions. Every failure is derived from either thoughts, words or actions. Every success is derived from thoughts, words or actions.
Saying disease, failure or success comes from another source other than our thoughts, words and actions is to deny our own power and control over the situation. Denying our power over the situation is saying all outcome comes from an outside force, in which we have no control.
Whenever you say an outcome is from an outside force, you lose all control, since you have no control over anything that is outside of you. The only control you have is through your thoughts, words and actions.
Other people’s behavior and the world at large is out of your control. The only power you have over others and the world is through your power of influence. You cannot choose for them. The only control you have over events and circumstances, is your reaction, which has the power to change the situation positively or negatively.
All action stems from thoughts and words. All words stem from thoughts. First you have the thought, then you speak about it, then you act on it. Think about something long enough you speak about it, and then you speak about it long enough, you act on it.
There can’t be a universe without thoughts nor can there be a disease without thoughts that created it. Nor can there be failures or success without thoughts that created it. It’s our thoughts, words and actions which writes the story of our lives and the universe.
Lifestyle choices, stress, worrying, pessimism, despair, fear, and feelings of vulnerability all create our lives including disease, or any type of failure. The only reason we don’t know thoughts are the primary cause for these negative creations is because we’ve been thinking about it for so long that we accepted it as our reality. We’ve accepted this reality as our truth and beliefs. We bury these thoughts for so long and we do nothing to confront them, and then the thoughts become our everyday conversation and experience.
The answer to change this current reality is to write another story and to continue speaking about it even if your current reality contradicts your new and improved story. You need to continue to declare it until this new story becomes your beliefs and expectations and inevitably your new life story.
Letting Go (Poem)
As before I was searching for meaning,
Through others and approval.
I can’t fathom the belittling,
Through friends,
And peers.
The teacher who would be constantly
On my case.
About not listening,
And being spaced out,
All day.
Too serious and in my head.
As he made comments,
And mockery,
Without end.
I hated school,
Got mostly Cs,
Just to say I was passing.
Too busy in my own world,
Of music, horse-play,
And band gigs.
Although the words still ring,
Loudly in my ears,
About being stupid and socially weird,
And busy in my own world,
Of depression and fear of my own.
As I contemplate,
The journey and the steep hill,
My resurrection from the pit,
Of disguise and depression,
My self-made misery
Of despair.
Though others simply mirrored back
What I felt.
As I reflect,
On the mountain,
And the dangers,
Of the storm.
It all shaped who I am,
As I molded the clay,
Revived myself from the pit,
Sought myself,
And the divine,
And let go of the past.
Seeing With Different Lenses
Some people won’t bother asking questions to understand someone, but if they would, perhaps this understanding would help them see the person and situation with different lenses. Maybe this understanding would allow them to see that everyone has a story, and a reason for who they are today. Maybe they would realize they were basing their observations on preconceived notions rather than facts. If they would simply reach out, their assumption may turn into understanding and compassion, not judging before knowing. Danny G.
The Soul and the Ego (Poem)
She is insecure.
Although on the outside,
She’s the life of the party,
That everyone loves.
An outgoing personality,
Attractive and provocative,
She stops at nothing,
And can get any guy she wants.
However,
Inside she feels,
Afraid and Uneasy,
So she puts on an act,
To avoid revealing herself.
Hiding beneath true feelings,
In an attempt to portray herself,
Normally among the rest.
She is afraid,
To acknowledge him,
To admit she admires him.
For he doesn’t seem her type,
So she puts on a disguise,
And puts on a show,
Because what matters to her most,
Is her ego, and not her soul.
Although on the outside,
She appears to be happy,
Inside she feels empty and lonely,
Fickle and relentless,
Always trying to avoid,
The negative chatter and her voice.
So she puts him on hold,
Because what matters to her most is her ego,
And not her soul.
Be Moved by Compassion Not Anger
If you knew an individual was in despair, and you knew everything you said to this person would be detrimental for his well-being and safety, how careful would you be? How do you know the person you encounter is not in despair? Your rejection and mistreatment can be one of the many things that causes him to give up on life. Therefore, think before acting, and be moved by compassion, not judgment or anger. Danny G.
True Meaning of Unwavering Faith
What is unwavering faith? Is it never doubting? Is it never feeling fear? Is it always being steadfast in the face of adversity or opposition? We know that’s not the case, as there are many faithful individuals who achieved great things, yet they still felt fearful when they faced adversities or opposition.
Some of the greatest masters that lived on this planet felt doubt and fear, and they weren’t always steadfast, but they prospered in the end. They prospered because they persevered despite their doubts or fears and they didn’t let the doubts or fears consume them. They kept their vision in front of them and they kept on declaring their victory despite their uncertainties.
Courage or bravery is not the absence of doubts or fears, it’s persevering despite doubts, or fears. It’s affirming and speaking about the desired outcome despite everything pointing us in the opposite direction. It’s taking bold action steps regardless of the discomfort we feel.
We’re human beings and it’s completely normal to feel doubt and fear, the only time it becomes a problem is when we give in. If you feel doubtful, fearful, or insecure, and you give in by constantly speaking about your doubts, fears or insecurities, you lost the battle and you move towards whatever you’re thinking about or speaking about.
When you’re tempted to give in, affirm and speak the opposite of your negative thoughts and declare what you want to attract in your life. Speak the opposite of your negative feelings even if you don’t feel it at first, sooner or later you will begin to receive it in your being, hence, you will attract it in your life.
The law works to our advantage because if we continue to think and speak negatively, we will become depressed and we will feel inadequate. The law works as a reminder to get us back on course so we don’t live in fear or pessimism.
Can you imagine a world where people would get what they want despite them never believing in themselves and despite them being pessimistic and fearful about everything? Even if they get what they want, they wouldn’t be happy, and there would be no point in achieving anything. What good is there in achieving our goals and dreams, if we feel inadequate and ungrateful about our achievements, and life.
Every great teacher that ever lived will say the same, “the true definition of unwavering faith is not the absence of fears and doubts, it’s persevering and it’s focusing on the solution rather than the adversity or opposition.”
If you’re feeling fearful and you can’t shake it off, just know you haven’t lost the battle yet. Start focusing on your desired result, and keep on declaring your end result despite fears or doubts.
When you’re steadfast and you persevere despite fears or opposition, you’re one step closer to see your dream or goal come to fruition.
A Simple Life Process (Poem)
Though we reunite on special days and occasions.
Laughing and catching up on old days.
Some born, some pass away,
To another world watching over us, every day.
Though we cannot fathom the very day,
Where one will part away,
To another world,
And leave our place.
It is this day and age,
We must accept,
The rules that were set,
When we entered this world.
Body dies but the soul remains.
And what remains is memories,
That we hold so deep,
Deep in our heart,
Deep in our soul,
As we rock our child,
And reminisce the joys,
A new treasure,
And the old one dies.
A simple life process of life and death,
Choices and love,
Intuition and failure,
They all lead back to the way,
The destiny and the journey,
Above all.
Though the process may seem difficult,
And hard to bear.
And in our mind we cannot find,
The logic, of loss and grief.
We’re all on a journey,
Of undiscovered potential.
Some simply forget,
Then leave this planet before.
Wasted energy,
As we fret the why’s.
And the so called memories,
That make us cry.
We don’t understand death,
We all return home,
On another journey,
In another world.
A part of us remains,
In this world with our loves.
And another in a dimension,
That never ends.
We’re all misfits in another sense,
Trying to make sense of this world,
Without end.
But as we are on the front lines,
Living our life,
Making the best,
Of the treachery and zeal.
Lessons are learned, and remembered,
In this chaotic world,
Of dread or fulfillment.
Perception is grappling, for our attention,
To win its previous,
Lying scheme.
But doesn’t win,
As we lay the grounds,
And choose the latter,
And not the dread.
The pen is in our hand,
In this undiscovered land,
Of hope, faith and love.
Of undiscovered potential we have,
A world of greed,
A world of generosity and deeds.
Though the choice is ours,
When we remain stagnant,
We wake up asleep, and forget the dream.
Though the choice is ours,
To our awakening,
Let’s choose life,
And wake up at eighty,
With dreams never shattered,
And lives never wasted.
Only fulfillment,
And love that stays.
Let’s not forget,
The reason for our arrival,
And the reason for our departure,
When we’re old and wrinkly,
And we shall say,
Let’s die in peace,
Our mission is fulfilled.
Being the Optimist
Everything we say and do has an impact on people and humanity, so my question is, would you rather be the optimistic person who makes a positive difference in the world? Or would you rather be the pessimistic person who prejudges, and deceives people? Danny G.
For Every Journey There Are Obstacles (Poem)
Out of depression and sadness,
Came a desire for peace and happiness.
Out of sickness came a desire for wellness.
Out of judgment came a desire for respect.
Out of challenges and adversities,
Came a desire for victory.
Out of all these obstacles, desires were born,
And without desire, there’s nothing to reach.
And without adversities,
There is no triumph.
And without it all,
There is no journey.
