Being Silent and Still



When was the last time you have sit in silence? I mean complete silence...no sounds. Complete silence meaning no radio, television, telephone, or society buzzing in your ears. Well I have noticed that complete and total silence is the key to some much in my life, but the way technology is now days most people can't stop and take a break.
PAUSE....were is the MUTE button
I always have this thing I like to call "me time." It is the time that I sit alone and spend time with myself. Sometimes I write, read, plan, and sometimes I just sit still in silence. I just remain quiet, close my eyes, sit in a yoga pose, and gather my thoughts. I concentrate on my breath and my thoughts while I mediate. I noticed when I do this I can reassure myself of anything, it is like God is right beside me. I can hear him so clearly, and I can get the clarity I want for anything. The bible says in Isaiah 26:3 "Thou wilt keep him in Perfect Peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusteth in Thee." I have found that being quiet is a way that I can focus on God and communicate with him on the regular. He is my source for STRENGTH and I love having the ability to connect while keeping my mind focused on perfect peace.

I know plenty of people who strive for something, or lack an ability to do something. The next thing you know they are continuously complaining about how they do not have this or they wish they could do that. Then there are people who pray and found what they are looking for and then they stop. When you find something doesn't mean you can keep it, so you have to keep that same drive forever. Do not become lacked in the process. Sometimes you have to be so focused like a deer in headlights to get the clear picture. And the #1 way I stay focused is by remaining silent and being still.

So here are some simple tips to keep your mind free of clutter so you to can focus too:

  • Schedule some me time for yourself. (do something you love)
  • Focus on some of your goals, and the key is to write them down
  • Sit in silence...this is a great way to remain focused
  • Do breathing exercises...good way to stay calm
  • Pray (and don't forget to give praise too)
  • Makes sure everything around you stays clean...I mean everything
  • Do not stop dreaming...remember it is okay to dream
  • Do something you enjoy everyday!!!

These tips should have you feeling better in no time. It may take some time getting use to them, but if you believe in changing for the better contribute to them. I can assure you that you will start to feel GREAT!!!!

OLD FRIENDS

Sometimes old friends are like new friends too. I stopped by an old friend of mines house today to see her baby boy. Something about seeing her reminds me of the GOOD OLD TIMES. I know that show "GOOD TIMES" was before my day....but it felt like the good old times. Lots of laughs, stories, and catching up. Old friends are great because they have known you longer and you guys have a special bond. I guess it's never to late to spark up a "convo" with an old friend.


~Cheers to the Oldies, friends that is~

WHY ARE WE AFRAID TO FACE OUR FEARS??


WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?

WHY IS IT SO HARD TO FACE IT?

YOU CAN BE STRONG ONE MINUTE, THAN WEAK THE NEXT

WHERE ARE THESE FEELINGS HIDING?? AND WHY ARE THEY EVEN THERE?


ACT ON FEAR DON'T BE AFRAID-WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE

I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST THAT STRENGTHENS ME

SO WHY ARE YOU SCARED AGAIN??

THIS TIME THERE SHOULD BE COMPLETE SILENCE

HE HEARS YOU BEFORE YOU SPEAK...HE KNOWS YOUR HEART...
.
...ISN'T THAT AMAZING

OUR STRENGTH IS WITH GOD AND HE IS OUR BUSINESS PARTNER

ANYBODY READY TO GIVE FEAR A K.O.??

Ordained



When my mind starts to wonder
Images in my head move like thunder
My soul escapes my body to emancipate society
Don’t want to feel confined
Heart, soul, body, and mind
Am I content?

Why Do I feel so restricted?
Letter on my door I feel so evicted
Words, thoughts, even my own philosophy
I can’t control this catastrophe
Or, maybe it is me
Am I content?

It feels like I’m at war
Repairing the intangible things in life I need more
I speculate what it feels like to be free
Is it in my existence?
Or, maybe it is just me
Am I content?

Can I pull the curtains back on the windows?
Can I sleep without a pillow?
Can I run without vain?
Can I forget my umbrella and walk in the rain?
Or, maybe it is no longer me
Am I content?
Am I content?
Am I content?
