PERSONAL & LIFE LESSONS

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with people first...then business Ran Right Realty 636943 licensed to thrill

Wouldn't it be nice to wake-up and discover that we were completely whole, without remorse or regret, our personal "knowing" banks running over with a clear and precise path put before us "illuminated" with no considerations for anything? But wait, we are not those/that person (s) but instead a people of want, need, correction, with instruction & guidance thrown in. 

WHAT CAME FIRST?

We came & come first. However, we know not what we do. We suffer from a lack of our own identity, purpose & direction & if that is not enough, the person to the right, left, front & behind you is your like kind on the same but different journey as you. They came first too. Courtesy, manners & helping hands make a difference.

WHAT WE ALL HAVE IN COMMON

There are too many things to list however some stand-out more than others. 1. We all want to be loved. We seek this "love" to better ourselves and want it to bath us within and without mentally, emotionally, spiritually, physically & psychologically.

FURTHERMORE

No one wants to be alone considering that we are all social creatures by default needing and wanting each other in healthy, wholesome ways. We pursue these nourishments, and, on the way, we are introduced to our business natures as well.

AMAZING TOOLS TO EACH OF US

We are all given a SKILLS BANK, that's right with no exceptions! No one is without. The very nature of this gifting involves the careful, deliberate unwrapping of it & it is done while we are mobile i.e., as we go. What releases it is the very journey itself.

WE ARE CARED FOR UNTIL WE CAN TAKE CARE

We are watched over, fed, clothed, sheltered as well as protected, nurtured & educated. It comes in bits & pieces, sort of like crumbs so we can chew while savoring until the next bite of the next circumstances whatever that may be. Everyone is where they are with the help of someone else. Never doubt or forget

AT A CERTAIN AGE

We are compelled to give back but not before we are prepped to do just that. Our first care is to discover the discoverable and be thankful that system is on automatic. We show it respect when we adhere to its prompts & contribute.

COMMEUPPANCE...the good kind

Because we think we are entitled to things, we get some life lessons that can only reach us through punishment, hard ship or hard work. When and if we discover humility, the journey becomes more joyful, rewarding with adventure & mystery. 

THE SCROLL of LIFE

1. Whether you believe in GOD or not, just remember you are not God. Act like it

2. It's not what you tell yourself, but what yourself tells you. If you want meat and marrow, then learn to recognize the inner still voice over your emotional one. 

3. If you do nothing right, you will do nothing wrong. There is a correct way of doing nothing & that righteous nothingness is a sanctuary. There is no fault there

4. Consider that everyone else has never been here before either. This has a profound effect on how you journey & what pain or pleasures may come your way. What measure you apply is deemed applicable to you as well. We are mankind

5. Win, lose or draw is true math with legs. Consider everyone is on the same scale. Win, but not at all costs. Choosing not to play can be a win. Playing to not lose is a draw but we did play. Lose? Why engage this for yourself or others? Take note.

6. Pondering and pausing can do you much good. Not sinking in your thinking or drowning in your dreams but contemplation. Pausing respects the choosing process. It checkmates blame & allows our measure of who we are to go to work.

7. Whatever you get into, gets into you. Let this sink in. There is an invisible price to pay for something that exceeds this material world. Tread lightly & carefully here. 

8. Becoming an observer & receiver is part of the original creation. Awareness opens doors and also triggers the asking, seeking & yearning dynamics.

9. All things are allowed but how then do we prosper from them? Mankind is driven by purpose and meaning. Seek that which helps your character evolve.

10. There two kinds of truth. Your personal truth, which aides us here and the eternal truth which carries us beyond. One should lead to other.  

11. The most basic world of existence, where there is no blame or error & that lives off pure, unselfish honesty is the realm of YES, NO, & I DON'T KNOW. Go there.

12. The push & pull of life spares no one. It is like a strong wind at sea until we seize the rudder, secure our post & plot our course. Then, we decide the final outcomes.

EMBRACE THIS

Your learning curves. It is fraught with plus & minus, reward & embarrassment, pain & regrets all the while making us evolve to be better as we experience these deep, mysterious and sometimes doubtful ways. But life is this & much more. Be the much more then...

Hi Richie,
We are all on our own journey, aren't we. To live without mistakes and regret probably means we have done nothing or not much.... certainly nothing to take us beyond our comfort zone. We must strive to be more.

Hello Richie - there can be moments when feelings of becoming overdrawn at the skills bank are noticeable.  Deposits and withdrawals can amuck when balancing goes awry.  Time for a reconciliation is necessary.  And it needs to occur regularly.    Suggestions for compounding interest --- STAT.

I love this Rickie- While reading your post, I was shaking my head "yes!" and kept shaking it!  One of my favorites though is.... Whether you believe in GOD or not, just remember you are not God. Act like it

Very interesting read, as I suspected it would be Richie.  Nice to see you again :)  Your "two truths"  is an interesting concept.  My mother-in-law just passed yesterday.  She wasn't still my mother-in-law, we were just friends.  Anyway, she would have really enjoyed your post.  She was very bright and at 94 I know she would still have a good banter with you on this post.  Loved this post!

Thank you so much Eileen Burns .  My daughters were really hit hard as Celeste was a powerful woman and a total witt all the way till the end of her 94 years.  To say she is missed is an understatement.  I doubt there is a video of the funeral service, but I'm hoping so as it's this weekend.  All 3 of my girls will be there and I've to be there supporting them.  Appreciate your sentiments!

I love this post. Particularly the following two excerpts:

"We are all given a SKILLS BANK, that's right with no exceptions! No one is without. The very nature of this gifting involves the careful, deliberate unwrapping of it & it is done while we are mobile i.e., as we go. What releases it is the very journey itself."

and

"Pondering and pausing can do you much good. Not sinking in your thinking or drowning in your dreams but contemplation. Pausing respects the choosing process. It checkmates blame & allows our measure of who we are to go to work."

Just what I needed to read today. Thank you!

Richie Alan Naggar I am always drawn to read your responses and posts.  You are not a 'surface' believer but overflowing with depth of experience and knowledge of that which is beyond and all around.  There is life in your words and expressions. The path is narrow and few are they that find it.
