College; Teachings.

I will not bore you with the story, of how I learned what I am about to share with you. But I will share with you that I have felt this way for many years and for many years I could not put it into as simple of term as "I Create it all" Which was a topic of discussion in my online class. The concept behind this is something I have done for many years. In my life things happen and those things that happen I tell myself are cause by my actions. Now to take responsibility of something is to gain control of it. This puts the power back in your hands. One can always blame everything and anything else but to control your own life to take responsibilities for things in your life keeps it your life. Example...

 I am walking down the street and a person walks into me. After this person walks into me they turn and say, I'm sorry, I turn and say no problem.

                 While most people would become upset by the person that walked into... with remarks like "Watch where you’re going...!" or "You saw me walking here...” I will leave out any choice words a person would most likely use in a situation like this. Now the reason I do not get upset is because had I been paying better attention to my surroundings had I been faster, had I to avoid the person as I feel I should be. Then it would of never happen. To take responsibility in my life is a way I use to better myself in anything I do. There is only one aspect I can control and truly that is me and my actions. If I wait for every else to do something to make me better or to better my life then I would be unhappy for the rest of it.

                I feel like everything I do in life every feeling I have everything I care to share will always come full circle and connect to each other. The reason I say this because in my last post I spoke about the "pursuit of happiness" How would you feel if I said this concept that I have lived by directly relates and helps my pursuit of happiness. In a way it improves it, and provides me with tools to always change my happiness so that I can always pursuit it. The point is to better ones self in any situation and return as quickly as one can to their desired pursuit of happiness.

Compared to the world.

Believe the words I say. Don’t assume. I say what was meant to be said in the way I figure it should have been said only to relay the message that was said. I do not believe in having anyone read between the lines or understand my sarcasm. What I want you to know is exactly what I have said. I try to use metaphors to explain in great or simpler detail, but for the most part what was said was said the best way I figure to say it at the time I said it.

“I like juice.”

That statement doesn’t mean I don’t like soda now does it. So never read into anything I say other than for what I mean it to be. I live a life in which I try to be as honest as a person can handle. I do not lie for personal gain, unless comic relief is a personal gain. I do not consider it to be; therefore my statement is true, to me.  In my honesty I do not feel it is also my responsibility to hurt ones feelings therefore I will only be as honest as I feel a person can handle. I try my best not to lie so therefore either I change the subject or I ask if they really would like to know. Ones pursuit of truth; never be confused with ones pursuit of happiness, will never be undermined by my quest to only bring happiness to one’s life. If truth brings sadness and I am the bearer then so be it. Because only in truth can ones real pursuit of happiness begins. If living a lie is truly ones happiness is it consider a lie? Yes, knowing a lie and choosing to still allow the lie to be what it is does not make the lie the truth.  Lies breed more lies which then breed more lies; the truth breeds emotions and choices. With every truth an emotions occurs and beyond that emotion a choice has to be made.

I am one to believe a lie to be the truth till the truth allows me to know that the lie exists. Once known the emotion and choice then is mine and my own. This is true for everyone in any situation.

If you go to buy a black sweater and are told, here is black sweater (the sales person knowing full well it’s a dark blue sweater) sells it to you and later you find it to be a dark blue sweater now that you have found the lie, the truth is then release once the lie is found and an emotion is then create along with a choice, either like, hate, love (emotion) the sweater than choose to wear it or not (choice).

Asking others to try and understand what I’m saying without saying what I want them to understand is hard to do. Sadly people assume; they assume base on their experience and how others have affect their life.  My spoken and chosen language is English, in order for me to have anyone understand what I am trying to convey to them is by me telling them exactly what I feel then need to know. Sometimes it’s hard to put emotions in words. Would you classify trust as an emotion, if so try to put trust into words without action, hard no? I feel we must understand that trust is about the unknown aspect, therefore to ask someone to trust you; is the easy part, for them to trust you is a hard choice. If there is certainty is there trust?  

My words are true, I avoid lies, the truth I share brings emotions and choice; which I hope will return trust.
