I Had an Honest Moment the Other Day

The thought came to me that No One wanted to hear what I have been saying for the past 6 or 7 years!

That I had to admit I was speaking into the wind. And I was not relevant.

It was a very honest and revealing moment…

And it was very depressing…for a couple of days. I searched for answers.

You see, I am trying to “monetize” my thoughts into a coaching business.

My goal is to have my thoughts generate resonance with people that want to “pay” for my thoughts.

Honestly, do people really do that?

Not really.

They pay for things that help them.

So why aren’t the things I have been writing helping people?

Maybe I am coming from the wrong place, because I am not doing what I say…namely realizing that I am Loved, Loving Myself and Finding My Dream!

Maybe when I do that, people will then begin to “listen”

But, by my principles, it doesn’t matter if they listen…or want to pay me for my “wisdom.”

My responsibility and accountability is to Love Myself and to Finding MY Dream!

The question is…How do I keep from starving then?

Somebody once said you can have the best and most wisest content, but if no one knows about it, you will starve!

So can I really say that I have told enough people to find any that resonate with what I am saying.

Obviously not!

I mean, if I am just writing my thoughts for myself…no problem…but who really does that? They say things to others to have an effect…to affect change. But it’s a fine line to effect others and not try to control them.

This is a conundrum!

 

 

 

Responsibility, Accountability and Our Country’s Foundation

This is part of a conversation on social media that I had with someone who has had their account temporarily removed due to it needing verification!!!

I probably was talking to a fake person. I was told that by someone, but I kept talking to them…LOL

Maybe the next time I form a “friendship” online, maybe I should “trust, but verify!”

Lesson Learned!

So we were talking about changes necessary in society. They said that certain “influencers” should be “careful” what they say, because some people Might take what they say to hurt others.

Here is my edited response as I thought about it more since I originally wrote it.

What you are saying is that we are responsible for others’ supposed, or maybe in the future, actions. If that is true, then this is the basis for arbitrary censorship…determined by someone else. They can censor you, because it MIGHT cause harm. They foretell the future!

The principle is here is that you are accountable for your speech and actions…not anyone else’s. And your speech is curbed by the same code. You do not say or act in any way that will Directly harm someone else. That is already addressed by law. You do not slander or libel someone else.

But is the call for revolution restricted?

Let’s see:

Our country was founded by a revolution….a violent one…a war. The rhetoric that was used then was incendiary and radical. Patrick Henry said, “Give me Liberty, or Give Me Death.” How radical is that? That is calling for violence…for a just cause. The Declaration of Independence said that when tyranny becomes oppressive, then resistance is an obligation and necessary!

That is how our country was formed…by resisting control…by violence! You should read some of the articles of that time. How about…Let us Hang Together, or we shall all Hang Separately? This was do or die. And it was all voluntary! In fact, most people at the time were pro-British. Only a small minority DID something.

This goes right along with You Are Loved and Love Yourself. Be responsible and accountable…for yourself…and let everyone else do the same. If you think they won’t, what basis do you have to tell them what to do…other than protecting your rights, but not at the expense of theirs….A fine line, but can be clearly drawn…from the right mindset.

 

Some Good Sayings I Saw.

2k a day keeps the J. O. B. away.

Be Yourself…Everyone else is already taken

Are you contributing to civic enlightenment and national harmony?

Let everyone sweep in front of his own door, and the whole world will be clean.

I am keeping busy with my own broom.

Am I waiting for someone else to do what I know to be right?

Is this problem my fault?

How truthful am I?

Is Jesus my answer, or the excuse that I am failing?

Do I truly Love Myself? What feedback do I get when I say, “I Love Myself?” Do I actually listen?

What would happen if I did Love Myself?

Would I still be in the situation I’m in?
