The Only Political Post I Plan On Writing

This is the only political post I ever plan on writing, not that I don’t think it matters, I do, but for the most part it just separates people. The people united can move mountains but it takes all of us. We can stand here and bitch about our differences all we want but it will do us nothing but tear us apart.  We can talk about this party and that party and who is doing the greater good.  It doesn’t really make a difference the party who wins will use their power to make themselves rich and seperate from those they are supposed to be serving unless we change overall.  The leaders of the past are few and far between no one is sacrificing for their fellow man. If we are going to see real change we need to work together and change the way we think.  There is enough for everyones needs but will never be enough for everyones greed. What if we changed the thinking that got us into this mess in the first place instead of using the same mindset that created the problems. What if we helped each other more and worried about ourselves less. What if we made sure everyone was provided for instead of waiting for them to be in a horrible enough life situation that they have to rob people so we can then bitch about gun control. What if we went after the root causes instead of the symptoms?  My solution is always spiritual and I believe the spiritual evolution of our kind can solve most of these problems.  As we see a bigger gap between the people who have their greeds meet and the ones not having their needs meet I will assure you crime will go up happiness levels will plummet and we will keep wondering when its gonna change.

Think Think Think Stop

That’s all we do sometimes and it makes us crazy. We think about what we want, what we think we need, what we have to do even though we cant do it right now, where we think we should be in life and what we think will make us happy. The thing is if we stopped all this constant thinking about this stuff we would be much happier. Sure planning is good a little bit of daydreaming is sweet but when we think to much about what we dont have or what we need it completely takes us out of the present moment. Witness something grand or do something that makes you alive in the present moment, all this thinking stops and the happiness flows in. The happiness flows in because that is our natural state.  If we practice just being in the present and stop making noise in our own head we would be much happier.  Something I have to remind myself of often.

Frame of Mind

It doesn’t matter what you are doing the the proper frame of mind will always make it easier and possibly more enjoyable.  I can hike all day and stay up half the night no problem but put in one of my 16 hour work days and I’m dragging ass all over the place.  It’s because my frame of mind is all wrong if I only found joy in my work the same way I do in hiking I would have all the energy I need. If I stay positive the daily grind no matter what it is, it’s just easier.  I try to stay away from the bitching and complaining the kind that comes out of my mouth, other people’s mouths and most of all the kind rolling around my head.  I also try to start my day with some positive music or a prayer, it is always esier for me to get the ball rolling in the right direction if I aim first.  What do you do to stay in the right frame of mind?

Another Year

Today I turned the young age of 32 and I am looking forward to a new year of living. Last year was all and all a fantastic year. I am using this time to see wear I have come from and where I am looking to go. Even if I do not know where I am going the important part to me is to keep living and keep moving forward. This past year I got to climb a couple mountains, perform a wedding ceremony or two, see a great lake, start to build a home with my girlfriend, hang out with my best friends new born son and all kinds of other stuff. It sure has been a whirlwind, not all good too many people reached the end of their journey this year for my liking but I guess their job was done and they got to go home. This life is amazing and I will continue to put my all into the experience. See you guys and gals along the journey.

Gay Marrige Legal In NJ

So yesterday it became legal for gay couple to marry in the great state of New Jersey. As a result traditional marriages were not effected at all, no mass divorce happened, hell didn’t freeze over, nothing. However people who have loved each other for a long time did start getting married which is a win win as I see it. I hear people crying “its not natural”, bullshit it is natural and not a choice. If God didn’t want gay people there would not be any, the very fact that they are here shows me that God approves. So congrats New Jersey and not just the gay people of New Jersey but all of us, its about time.

Calling His Kids Home

We have limited time on this earth, there is only so much time before our job in thos lifetime is done and we are called home. I don’t know why some are called home way sooner than others just that thier job during this go around is done.  This is why I feel it is important to be good to people and let them know how you feel about them while they are here. Everyday is a gift given to us try not to step on anyone else’s present.

Taking A Break

Sometimes in life you have to take a break and smell the roses. Life can get so busy woth work and other life stuffs that we lose sight of whats really important. This week I am taking a break, the little lady and I are on vacation in south Florida visiting my family and having an overall fun filled time. With recently moving being super busy at work it is definitely welcome. Also great to see my brother and sisters to remember where I come from. Life seems a little slower right now and a whole lot more precious. It important things to remember at all times but sometimes we need a reminder. I feel truly blessed right now and hope to remember it whe. I get back to daily life. The sun is always shinning even if there are some flouds swirling around we just have to look a little harder.

Same Sex Love

Romantic love betwee two people should always celebrated no matter if those people are the same sex or not. People always bring up the religious aspects of right or wrong when debating this and weather I think that men were meant to lay with men or women meant to lay with women really doesn’t matter. Thier doing so has never effected my love for a woman, my views on marriage or my ability to practice my religion. Furthermore if you really think that its against God then hey why would he make people that way. Some people think its a choice and I have never believed that anymore than I have ever had the choice to love a man or a woman, I didn’t. I have always been attracted to women and if I was told your religion didn’t agree and I should love men there is nothing I could do to change what comes naturally so why the hell do people believe gay people have that choice. I strongly believe in peoples right to do what makes them happy if people agree with it or not as long as nobody is getting hurt and that sure is not the case hear. Love whoever you want thats fine by me.  Instead of trying to make laws preventing people from marrying who that want, maybe we should take that energy and try to stop all of the hate.

Just my two cents.

Happiness

Happiness happens the moment you stop worrying about what you need to be happy. If you are worried about getting this or that all the time to be happy your gonna be pretty miserable. Many of the times I am most at peace I am doing something that anyone could do, nithing that takes a lit of money but more having an appreciation for what is given freely. I try to look at things through a childs eyes as if I am witnessing them for the first time, with out judgement just reaching out with my heart and loving understanding.
