Your Not The Boss of Me Now.....

I don't know if any of you remember this lyrics from Malcolm in the middle.I admit that was one great comedy if you have no idea what I am talking about just watch the Middle.It is a reflection of what was one of the best comedies of all time.I am not going to actually be talking about comedies today because then I would have totally lost plot.

I have made it my principle not to allow any Tom,Dick and Harry to speak into my life or define my worth.My apologies if your never is either of this three guys.I am not saying there are no people who are supposed to speak into your life of course there are but that line just reminded me about my late lecturer who used to say 'this is not a small BUT it is a BIIIIIIIG....BUT.Back to my topic you have the right to choose who.I love to surround myself with positive people, the world in itself is depressing so why hang out with people who will remind you that everyday.If you cannot however keep off then to survive you will have to grow shock absorbers.The most damaging words I have heard people describe come from those closest to them.

Everyone has the remote control  in their hands you can flip the channel if the music playing does not entice you.The reason I  say this is because the more you listen to the sinister comments made about you,the more it tends to actually come to being that is how much influence words have of our lives.I was watching some soap opera the other day and you know in the very strategic world of soaps,there was a jilted person trying to  instill some doubt in the head of a former friend.He was right but at the time he was actually trying to speak to the friend,the friend would not budge in fact he  pretended not to want to hear but truth be told plant a seed of doubt and the fruits will show up next.So the friend was second guessing himself and that is where the iron hits the nail,(I think that is how the saying goes).

I like to put my point of view as bare as possible to avoid being misjudged or misunderstood.Simply and clearly we are not always right neither are we always wrong but not everyone has the right to speak into our lives.We could be wrong and yet be corrected in ways that totally damage us where as someone else would have corrected us in the same way and with utmost HATE for the 'crime' and also considering the 'criminal'.Some people have never been in your shoes yet they will be the first to cast the first stone.Know who you want to allow to speak into your life because I believe essentially every word is a prophecy of your life whether you believe it or not.

Moving Forward

I was humming an Israel Houghton song this weekend called-Moving forward. I am as authentic as it gets,so I did not borrow the song's words but the message is pretty powerful.I am sure I in a way irritated my mum humming the same song all weekend even a few seconds ago but concidering how musical my family is I do not see any one complaining.It is more like whoever has a more catchy tone wins the battle to sing out loud.

Before I totally drift away,Let me get into it.You know everytime someone says move on-it more often  times denotes a negative past experience.Well yes!sometimes but whether it is good or not bad truth is people who walk backwards always end up falling.Take for example a person who has  achieved a great deal of success proffessionally and wants to move on to a new job.As poistive as that may be,It will only get you to the door but if you can not prove yourself then thats when the title -'a has  been sounds really hurtful'.My dad once said the most profound statement ever.He said faith looks ahead and fear looks around what a contrast.You see if you never let go of the past,you relive it in the present and never really be in the moment.I am not saying live like there is no tommorrrow!No!simply live in the moment that is where the gurantee lies.

If God really wanted you to live on yesterday,he would have probably left you there but the beauty of it all lies in the potential of a new day so when you are down and you think you are out.Take a listen to  Moving forward it is not only motivational it is deeply spiritual.I have a habit of defending my statement so let me live my  post short and sweet.My opinion quiet frankly is the past is good because it gives you a stepping stone and a thermometer to gauge your growth.I have had it being said that a people without a history are.........(my mind has just given up on me).Moving on,learn what you have to from the past and live it there.It is hard to do that for people who have been through traumatic experiences but the only way to be free and not a prisoner of your past is to Let go and Israel sums it up in his song by saying God makes all things new.
