character: WHAT REALLY MATTERS TO YOU (life reflect)
- 11/20/25 10:48 AM
Perhaps we share or don't, but we all have multiple subjects, items, wants, needs & all the rest that we embrace for personal satisfactions. Your "life" list can be tangible, intangible, emotional, physical, intellectual, spiritual, psychological plus be real or fantasy, include others or exclude them. While we explore this subject, notice how some of this is kept secret perhaps because it is sacred or if uttered, we jinx it, or we risk disapproval & judgments, or it may not be attainable. Consider shining bright light on this subject for yourself & let others know you better called intimacy.

character: WHAT DOES IT PROFIT YOU? (life journey)
- 10/16/25 11:20 AM
I am speaking of what doesn't prosper us in the long or deep turn of things versus the vital, meaningful & spiritual part of the self that has ever-lasting qualities & rewards. We are able to sample everything here to our liking & at the same time cautioning ourselves to not promote excess or substitute for genuine inner life. The moderation caveat is no myth. It exists for a reason. With anything we like, a habit is invited to form & this is what must not happen but instead leave & not stay. Yes, there are good habits, but let's practice … (1 comments)

character: LIFE ASKS CONTINOUSLY (you must respond)!
- 10/10/25 11:09 AM
The title of the post is YOU speaking up when you have something to say or something to do in line with your beliefs. It is your experience regarding what is unfolding in the moment you are in. While the words are easy enough to pronounce, the act behind those words may require courage something you may or may not have or have enough of. Notice how many times you did the following:
DIDN'T SPEAK UP
You kept quiet but also went within yourself. A secret life gave you a type of refuge & no one knows this except you & perhaps a … (2 comments)

character: YOU GOT AWAY WITH IT? (spiritual post)
- 07/26/25 12:25 PM
People fool others, this we know but they forget that when they do that, they got fooled too & first also. You can fool anyone because they just don't know & the fooler keys into the others fool's bank (foolee) but consider, it takes one to know one. Why seek out fools, foolmates, or imitate their behaviors? Because you are a fool & need to feed your own foolishness, thus you are attracted to mischief of your own doing & nefariousness, something never meant to be
pause & see which way you are going

character: GOOD NEWS & BAD NEWS (solved)
- 06/26/25 12:04 PM
We all know the drill by now when we encounter someone who offers us the choice of good news or bad news first. Your preference says a lot about you which is another posting. We choose good news & we act accordingly. We choose bad news, & it acts on us. Ask yourself how this system can improve while still using the very important "bad news" component & at the same time, lessening its power over you
FIRST RESPECT FOR THE PROCESS
GOOD NEWS: Information that is positive, favorable & beneficial often bringing happiness, joy, relief & optimism with helpings of hope & … (2 comments)

character: TIPS for LIARS (good luck) YOU'LL NEED IT
- 06/24/25 10:14 AM
A good liar follows what I am about to share. When lying, stay as close to the truth as possible. Why? Because a lie, especially a whopper cannot sustain itself for long in the light of reality. The light has the final word. If a little white lie, this is where the cunning of the deceiver takes place. A little at a time until you take over & you will because you either will gain from it or escape punishment or discovery. Yes, that little insignificant, puny nuisance of a lie became stronger & wants to feed now voraciously
whoops
PEOPLE ARE NO … (4 comments)

character: COST of DISHONESTY? (poverty of spirit)
- 06/07/25 07:11 AM
All of us come into the world unspoiled, innocent and full of wonder and awe, then along the way, something happens. We start to learn that there are many ways to choose to live in this world and we develop a system or a series of personal beliefs to live by. Some of us, miscalculate (ignorance) & stray to the left or right & don't come back thus becoming casualties of their personal temptations
The Devil and Daniel Webster proves
Lying, cheating & stealing works. Think about this. It works because people wouldn't keep doing it if it didn't. But what you don't … (0 comments)

character: LAW of GREED (yes it rules if you let it)
- 05/26/25 11:51 AM
This is a bane, a curse on mankind that eats us alive if we let it go unchecked. You see, greed is like a voracious animal that cannot be satisfied with a snack or even a meal, but instead, must continue to gorge & gluttonize its way in YOU to survive. It feeds off of you as you feed off of it. At some point, it takes over & remakes the user for the worse. We have all seen & experienced greedy people, including our own greed. We can all agree that it is not normal or heart-driven & is a … (2 comments)

character: VIRTUE TESTED = CHARACTER + TRUTH (post)
- 05/12/25 11:09 AM
Our default nature & stance is one where we make comments before having lived the point we are stating. We all want to believe the best about ourselves & others. It comes in the form of a statement we make & then try to live up to. Easier said than done is what we will be discussing in this posting. Our "boasts" are said in earnest too, making us even the humbler when we honestly find out we are not that person but want to be that person. Why the deception? Facade?

character: CLEAR THINKING (sound mind) GIFT
- 05/11/25 08:22 AM
Your right mind is made up of a clear conscience, no guilt, logic, reason, common sense & a little help from the spiritual world called intuition (knowing), all supporting your decision to take an action to achieve a specific result. Doubt this? Reverse it to test it. Take away all of the above or pervert it, & what do you end up with? Reality proves the point. All we have to do is be appreciative & wield this magnificent gifting of a sound mind, using it to do great things for ourselves & others
WORTHY NOTE: Your existence is a gift & … (3 comments)

character: BUILD A BETTER YOU (start & end) LIFE POST
- 04/26/25 07:03 AM
New clothes, hair style, cut, jewelry, make-up, smell good, shoes, new car, travel boasting, friends, & all the rest are serving a multiple of purposes. Who can deny the feeling of looking good & wanting acknowledgment of same. Education, schooling, trade, degree & certifications add up making us more of an attractive story to share with others. Why? The world systems promote all this. It has become common practice, a default to success in personal & professional realms
WHO ARE YOU?
Now slow down at this point. We are not all of the above. NO. That's been added to us, to the you, … (3 comments)

character: CHEAT-STEAL-LIE (U lose more than U win)
- 04/23/25 12:57 PM
You have seen them up close, read & hear about them, their works or fame, in the courts, on the news or in person, people who do whatever it takes to prevail, win & come out ahead, for whatever reason. Their ends justify their means. You do not count in their world unless they use/abuse you as a steppingstone to their "got to have" gain no matter what, whom or why. Cold & calculating with a smile
THEY DON'T WANT TO SEE "IT"
Like the terminator, who is relentless, possesses no reason or love, it will not stop until it carries out its … (3 comments)

character: THE MIRROR DOES NOT LIE (you do)
- 04/23/25 10:34 AM
There are movies where the main player, up to no good or evil, or has a runaway ego with unchecked power, orders or destroys all mirrors in their world. Look at the symbolism here. The mirror did not do anything, but the person looking into it did. Same thing with running away from your problems, people or circumstances. Where are you going to go to escape yourself?
UNIVERSAL LAW
"Wherever you go, there you are" is non-negotiable. It is impossible to escape your self. Oh sure, you can buy some time-out but never time-away! So, what we have here, when people can't stand … (4 comments)

character: LIFE BEATINGS: USE THEM TO BETTER YOURSELF
- 04/06/25 09:37 AM
LIFE is a gift beyond understanding, living or examination as it exceeds any attempts to be defined, regulated or explained. It's like love i.e. we know what it is to have it, not have it or lose it, but when it comes to defining it, even poets, sages, gurus, philosophers & the parties involved are at a loss to explain. Life demands respect & human beings must learn what works, what doesn't & in that process of experimenting, trial & error plus learning curves, the beating for playing in the game of life is a small price to pay
ADVERSITY
"Without adversity, there … (1 comments)

character: ANGER ROBBER of ALL LIFE (stop this)
- 03/25/25 07:18 AM
The root of anger is judgment. Pause for cause here. If & when angry, ask yourself: why am I judging the circumstances, who am I judging, & why this application or approach to the event? This is a great place to start. You see, anger has multiple uses, however in everyday affairs, relationships or result achieving, it has no permanent, welcomed place
WORTHY NOTE: The self-evident fact that "anger" is not inviting, speaks volumes
ANGER DYNAMICS
not in your right mind
First off, you are not yourself when angry. Everyone else knows this too & now you, if angry, know it also. Anger calls on … (2 comments)

character: TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE (your personal bar)
- 03/23/25 11:15 AM
Have you ever seen someone not themselves? Sure, you have. It stands out & is not normal but acceptable as it signals that something is at work or not at work. What is being yourself? For the many, it is a closely guarded secret or something they rehearse & get tired of performing. Wanting to be accepted starts with you accepting yourself.
SELF-AWARENESS
What I am getting at is this. Being focused on who and what you are and when applying your gifts, talents, abilities and skills allows them to do all the work while you supervise. Knowing what they are is well … (2 comments)

character: LITTLE RED HEN STORY (is no myth)
- 02/02/25 09:53 AM
The value from the "little Red Hen" story is multiple & never ceasing. It parallels our journey i.e. of mankind. One day, the hen of the story decides she wants to have bread. Sharing the thought/desire with others, she gets negative reviews & criticisms all designed to STOP her from what she started out to do. So, she begins
THE PROCESS of BREAD
She searches & finds seeds of wheat & gathers them to plant. Along the way she asks for help but is refused. After planting & caring, the sprouts of wheat appear & again she asks help for harvesting so she … (2 comments)

character: MAKE the MOST of EVERYTHING (really)?
- 12/19/24 11:16 AM
You will not be back this way again. Pause for cause here. It's like any vacation, job, relationship, rise, gains & losses, pains & pleasures, milestones, loving, eating & all the rest of it. Have your fill too. These earthly delights are allowed & form your character on the way. Don't forget the soul, your inner place "container", where your spirit & God communes, must be fed too. Balance is a worthy pursuit
I KNOW ALL THIS
You're saying that & more! You know to grab, experience, have, & repeat & don't have to be told. But you see, I don't speak the … (0 comments)

character: CHARACTER: don't live without this (spiritual)
- 11/15/24 06:43 AM
How important is breathing? The beating of your heart? The ability to get up and go? Character missing on any human being is not a pretty sight to behold or experience. If we were to learn one thing in this brief journey here on earth, let it be on how to live correctly and not just exist but be an example of something higher at work. Character is that highness
STOP THIS LEAK
When someone is missing virtue (s), it is noticeable and obvious. Why? Because mankind is complex in nature but in action, a simple, living example of greatness and achievement … (3 comments)

character: DISHONESTY KILLS CREDIBILITY (then your soul)
- 11/13/24 11:34 AM
Dishonesty beckons to us all the days of our lives either whispering or roaring into our Psyche or presence wanting its day with us. Some fall victims to its predatory skills via their weak defenses while other become aware and sharpened when it rears its ugly, subtle, obvious head
LISTEN TO THE CONSCIENCE
If one gives in to it, then they have not just become aligned with dishonesty but also have a major credibility loss as well. Furthermore, you cannot serve two masters, so truth has temporarily been compromised and instantly the conscience is put on notice. Your way back beckons right away. … (2 comments)
