What do you really have???

[b fold the truth]

I've been sitting around and just thinking lately, mostly about what I really have in my life. A lot of what I found has just been depressing and an eye opener...

I will be 25 VERY soon. I don't have my college degree. I owe A LOT of money to credit cards, the bank, my family, and to my school. I don't have a job (terminated not long ago). I don't have any money. Most of my friends don't live here in this town anymore. I drive a truck with nearly 170,000 miles on it.

There is a lot that I don't have in my life and those things keep me down a lot...and they keep me way down.

The things that I do have...are very important. My mother, father, and sister love me so very much. I have two dogs that follow me around no matter where I go. I also have the most wonderful girlfriend in the entire world.

The only things that I have in my life come from love.

My best male friend lives in Nashville, TN and he is truly a man that I love. A true best friend. He does not judge me and I do not him...we just accept each other...always. My family loves me as I do them. We give up things so that we can be together.

My girlfriend, really does love me. I have never felt like a "somebody" till I met her. She truly does complete a part of me that I have never found before. If I had a ring, could afford one, I would be on my way to see her now... When apart from her, a part of me is missing. I feel crushed...and miss her.

Think about what you REALLY have in your life and what can be taken away. The things that I don't have...can be taken. The things that I do...the love...are forever.

Don't be so sure...Love can be taken away just as easily...or lost. I truly have nothing.

Don't be so sure...Love can be taken away just as easily...or lost. I truly have nothing.

aw, come on. What about the record for most hand jobs given in a 5 minute period. No one can take that away from you.

It is that love...that keeps me going every single day.

I have ---

The love of a truley wonderful woman.
The love of two beautiful and adorable children.

If it weren't for this whole food, clothing and shelter business.....ahhh well....

I have my eyesight, my hearing, my breathe and my faith, to me that is enough, but my faith alone defines "everything" and is all I will ever need. paz

I have my health, a fantastic hubby, a happy, healthy little girl,the best family and friends in the world. I am blessed! All the money in the world would not make a difference to me if ANY of the above were not in my life.

Do I need or want more? Nope! Anything else is icing on the cake...

B-fold.....You have more than a lot of people in this world! You forgot to mention that you have a heart the size of Texas, are just about the sweetest most generous man , have the strength and WILL of ten men! I could go on.....

Sometimes we forget just how damn lucky we all are. A person IS not defined on what kind of job they have(or do not have at the moment) or even the amount of $$ they have in some bank!

 

[Bikini Mod]

I have my health, me girls, my family, a few precious friends and TIME....

I have everything....

Bfold you are correct.

Actually B Fold, you may want to follow this advice or disaster may creep up on you one day.
The world's universal travel is 360 degrees. Everything in motion travels toward its opposite. What goes around, comes around, or what you reap is what you will sow. We must travel these worlds of life, aware or unaware, willing or unwilling. The KEY is not remaining in one place and becoming stagnant (Inertia say that an object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by some external force.) If you are not attached to anything, nothing can hold you back. You must travel through these spheres accumulating knowledge. Here is where the problem lies, getting into and out of life's spheres, or worlds without making any fatal mistakes. You must have guidance.

Every situation that you are exposed to either has something to assist or hinder you. Every experience is different from the previous one. You develop or remain stagnant, but you cannot go back.

Whatever universal energies you have wisely or unwisely set in motion must return to you, their starting point, like a circle completing itself. Within this circle you must stay aware that every secret is told, every injustice (crime) is punished and every act of goodness is rewarded. That is what maintains the balance. The laws when set in motion have the potential to work for us, when we live in accordance to mathematics. It is when we go contradictory and contrary to those principles that these laws work seemingly against us.

Attachment really needs to be examined here; because it is one of the factors which can hold you back and cause you to act contrary to the laws of the universal structure. In coming into new awareness, or holding onto the old thoughts, we find that you can very easily slip into comfort or satisfaction. Your pleasure should be derived from the experience of experiencing, not in trying to be possessive of a particular person, place or thing. The wise understand that you cannot possess anything without being possessed by it.

Can you imagine someone with the knowledge of reality making a choice to turn away from reality because of some attachment in a cycle that they were supposed to just be passing through? Attachment is a fatal mistake.
