Pep Talk for the Rebounding
Here you are again knocked down by life. After you wrap your head around it, it would be smart of you to see what God is trying to teach you here because it’s obvious God thought it was time to send you a wake-up call and, as much as it sucks, deep down you probably knew you needed it too. In a strange way, you should feel lucky that you’ve been given a lifeline to move on up in the world even though you had to take a hit before you can climb up. It’s the way you can prove that you’re worth more than you’ve been giving yourself. God already knows that you’re worth it. The universe knows that you’re worth. Your real friends do too, as does your family. It’s just that YOU need reminding of how much you’re worth. It’s that YOU need reminding how to let your worth guide your actions. It all comes down to this: You can either make a better you out of this or let it chain you to how you always did things; but that hasn’t led you to where you want to go, right? You may think that life as you know it is over because of this. And you might be right. But what’s to come is a mystery to you so you may be thankful for the death of the old once you’re reborn into something greater. Just keep your faith that God is breaking this down to heal you in ways that will last forever. God doesn’t dabble in quick fixes. He solves the root of the problem, which means he needs to untangle the complications we’ve made of our lives before we get to the good stuff. You can relax knowing that the pain you feel is going to be rewarded soon enough if you make smart decisions. Just use your head and listen to your head and the sun will come out for you again. Think of it like this if it helps: A problem is but a seed that you can grow juicy apples with to bake sweet apple pies. How delicious!

To shine like we’re meant to!
To live our dream is to live consciously. Why settle when you can be all that you are meant for? There is always a way to do what you want to do and to be who you want to be. Time can be made. Skills can be honed. Change will happen so adjust your sails according to where you want to go. It’s all in your mind. It’s all in your beliefs. It’s all in your ability to make it a must. It is then that we can strip away the illusion of satisfaction looming in too many lives, and build a life full of real fulfillment through self-actualization. What makes you think that earning a living can only be done working careers that make you want to fast forward away more than half of your days? You CAN earn an abundant living doing what you love. There is no reason to settle. Not just in your careers or jobs, but in the person you are and in the people you spend time with. The only excuse in settling for anything in this life is FEAR. It is a melting pot of different fears, but fear of success is what it boils down to. Success of all kinds comes with lots of responsibilities. There’s no escaping it. On top of that, many people may mistakenly believe they don’t have the skill it takes to be successful, when in fact, they do. It’s just that they haven’t yet built up the will to make success a must for them. You need to put in time and effort to achieve your goal. That’s why making your dreams a reality is vital because only then will you have natural enthusiasm to fuel you when motivation wanes; and it will because motivation is an ebb-and-flow type of deal. But the great part is that any shouldering any sort of responsibility can get your started as the benefits will spill over into all areas of your life, personal, professional, spiritual, and what have you. It’s time to rise above our current status and finally shine. How, you ask?
Responsibility. And it’s time to turn it from a flame to an inferno. Use opportunities to whip out more will, more focus, and more discipline. Make it a must, but still remember that you made the decision to make it a must as to keep your power. You can even make opportunities of your own too while you’re at it. Challenge yourself to make save fifty dollars this month just to prove to yourself that you can. It’ll force you into honing a smart budget that will serve you for life, and your integrity will receive a mighty boost. Why integrity? Because you said you would do it, and you did it. Yes, promises made to others are important, but the ones you make to yourself are king. It’s all about foregoing immediate gratification in lieu of making the best future you possible. If you want to go all in by challenging both your mind and body, why don’t you try waking up an hour earlier to do something productive? You can go for a jog, meditate, read pages of a book to learn things in your field, or clean every room of your house one morning at a time. After all, cleaning and decluttering shows the universe that you respect your space and are ready for new blessings. Set your own deadline for finishing your schoolwork or workload. Learn how much productivity and efficiency you’re capable of. Stretch your limits. Heck, you can even find yourself a furry companion if you’re look to learn how to love and be loved. Of course you can opt for even bigger challenges if you feel strong enough already. Sell yourself well to snag that promotion you’ve been eying, or perhaps setting into motion that online business that’s been on your mind. In fact, steaming ahead with any idea you have is major progress. Whatever you decide to do is not as important as making the decision to incubate your responsibility and starting right away. No excuses.

Why Bridge the Gaps
Society is notorious for praising fools who superman hoes while pigeonholing the conscious as nuts. Even Jesus felt the brunt end of this ignorant stick. Yet everyone and everything are teachers who hold important messages as to what life is all about. These messages expose to us parts of ourselves inside waiting to be sparked with life. Think about the enormous forward strides that are possible in bridging the gap between the LGBT and straight community. Our youth would flourish with self-love regardless of their sexuality because we were able to overcome such misunderstanding with unconditional acceptance. This means well-adjusted and morally conscious people walking planet Earth for all ages and all generations. And noble traits and better quality people are just the tip of the iceberg. Bridging the gap heals not only the individual, but the collective as well.
Imagine a young woman being pressured into being a nurse has inside her the precision needed to be a doctor. Yet social conditioning may very well lead her astray, affecting her fate and maybe yours as well. What if she was the doctor that was to save your life one day? And even if she did become a doctor, will the education system and its educators nurture her skills the same as a man’s? It’s common knowledge that men receive double or even triple a woman’s income despite sharing the same exact profession. Scenarios like this have probably played out right under our noses too many times already. Although there are efforts to create equality, merging the straight and LGBT community together holds the most promise in real, effective progress in fair treatment of all because it the most visible rebel of gender roles. It will diminish limiting gender roles and open up room to foster creativity and individual thought for everyone. Even straight men will rejoice for they will finally get to drink martinis out in the open.
A hot button issue with homosexuality is obviously the religious conflictions involved. The interesting part is that homosexuals and what have you are like cookies crumbs leading people to see the truth of our being. It takes a certain amount of spiritual awareness to accept the LGBT community because it means that it is seen for what it truly is without society’s distorted influence on the matter. To thwart society’s conditioning takes much inner strength and insight, which is only possible through connecting with the higher power dwelling within us. This means bridging this gap could be the catalyst to get the masses to realize all the other limiting beliefs and propaganda meant to keep them in the dark about our true natures. The government, the media, the Illuminati – or whatever face you want to put on our oppressors – currently has the upper hand. Dividing and conquering has been around for ages – and by the state of our humanity, it works impeccably. The only way to end their tyrannical reign is to come together as one, and develop a plan to reclaim our freedom, our personal power, our divine purpose.
