Those Who Have Not, May Have More -Repost

Hello Everyone,

There is much to be said about humankind and what people go through.  Today, it could be me tomorrow you; this is what we must remember.  This is no class of people better than another and we are all human not kind of human, or almost, or not quite, but we are human.  People of all colors are subject to hunger, homelessness, addictions and abuse.  So, we must not judge anyone, but care about everyone.  We may not be able to help, but we can care.  Everyone is loved by someone. I can not speak to everyone's origin of their circumstance or their story, but I think it is o.k. to want the world to be better.  We have to be mindful of how what we say and do can affect others.  Some become addicts due to childhood trauma and abuse that they never shared with anyone.  Some live based on the seed they have sewn in life.  We just do not know, but if when we see others that are down, we can at least give a kind word or simply a prayer in our hearts.  

Years ago, my brother called me one day and said that there was a homeless man that he usually bought milk for who spent time outside of a local 7 eleven store and that it was his day to buy milk, but could not make it, but if I could get him the milk or whenever I saw him.  I lived by the store so I told him sure I could get him milk.  I said to him wow, I did not know that, my brother told me that he had been making sure that he had milk for quite awhile and that he had so many stories about life that were on point.  He went on to tell me how one day when he bought him some milk he said to him him, "young man never give up, you may give out, but never give up."  He told him that he was old and lived many years, but as long as you never give up than you are o.k.  My brother said he really had a positive impact on him, here is someone who had no home, but so much heart and spirit that he wanted to encourage someone else.

So, one day I went to the store and there he was, so I told him who I was and he said oh yea and described my brother.  I told I would go in the store and get him milk, I did, then I asked him why do you only want milk?  He said to me that he was trying to nourish his bones, he did not want to become feeble and unable to walk, because he had to walk a lot to find places to sleep and he did not eat healthy, but he knew that milk would help his bones.  He thanked me and I left.  O.k., here  I go, I was positively impacted just like my brother Lan.  This man had a sense of wanting to live and determination.  Time went on and my brother and I continued to visit him at the store until he just was not there anymore.  This went on over a period of a couple of years.  We somewhat thought the worst, he was an older man, but at best he found a place to live.

Humanity is not just for those that have, but for those that have not, because those that have not material things can have so much inspiration.

Take a listen to the Christopher Vernardo, a homeless man on the video singing a song that he composed about his life on the streets of L.A. and what he has seen.

Not sure why he was made to take off his hat and turn, turn as if taking a mug shot, but......

Get Into It!!

You have hopes?  You have dreams?  You want to live out your dreams?  You know that you are destined for something more? Did I hear you answer yes, what are you waiting for? This can be the very moment that you decide to make a step toward your dreams in life.  Your only obstacle is you. Do not let anything be an excuse to not begin to move toward what you were gifted to this earth to do.  O.k., your schedule is tight, you have much responsibility and priorities, but can we put you on that list now?  Can I say something, time waits for no one and we must begin to make time to either figure out what that constant gentle nudge is or for those that already know start your journey to live your purpose.

God gives us this little nudge that will wake us up out of our sleep to remind us what we really are suppose to being doing in life, He will distract us during the day to remind us, He will give us a glimpse in a dream of just how life would be if we lived on purpose, He will use others to say something that will spark an "oh my goodness."  They may barely know us, but will tell us all about our gifts. And we still will not see it as a sign and move.

The wonderful thing about finding out how to believe is that we do not have to have all of the answers and intricate details, just to take a step.  All we have to do is to take that first step. When we say, I should have, I will when, If I had the chance, Maybe it is just not for me... we compromise our destiny and those the moments in time when our gift would have helped others.

You know what it is like to just imagine yourself doing what you were born to do and how genuinely happy you feel.  In that very moment, you feel so passionate about writing, singing, teaching, advocating, preaching, counseling, whatever it is, you want to reach out and live it.  It is in your reach, stop holding back and  "Get Into It."  Put your heart and soul into your meaning in life.  Everyone has a meaning, no one is without purpose.  A good start is to write a positive note to yourself, put it in your pocket, take it everywhere and also repeat it everyday.  Learn a scripture and repeat it everyday, also write it down, at times, just read it, but motivate yourself and let no one talk you down from where you are climbing.

Get into getting focused and not giving negativity a front row seat in your mind.  Do not give room to negative comments, people or words.  You must change even the words that you speak, speak positive as often as you can, smile, do one thing each day toward your purpose, do not doubt when good things begin to come to fruition, do not become afraid when you can begin to see change toward your purpose.  As you make up your mind and set your heart you will see yourself move from dream to reality.  Please believe, God will not let you down, but we have to lift up his desire for us and know that he is with us all the way, because he placed a seed of purpose in our DNA before we said hello to the world. So guess what, you can do this.

Give life your all based on your purpose.  You are great, you must begin to believe it.

The title of this blog was inspired by a youtube video I saw with a young lady singing, but then, I saw these twins. I thought it was a good sample of showing you what I mean by "Get into it."  They threw their hearts into it and felt what they were doing.

If we can Get Into It, confidence will soar.

Get Into It and Share Your Gifts.

Until next time,
Oreadea
