Rise Above...to Where You Belong

Hi Friends,

A wee blurb today.

Something I have been musing about. Permit me just to blurt what comes to mind. May God lead and guide my blurting :)

Some of you have been given great wisdom. Some of you have spent years gathering specific knowledge in certain areas of life. But there is one thing that you are lacking. The thing that you are lacking is respect for yourself.

You have traveled, and invested significant chunks of time and money even.... in order to possess the knowledge you may now claim as your own. You should have a confident swagger in your step, but instead you are cowering in darkness.

Your body of knowledge is not random...it has been crafted and honed and sharpened over time. You have opened your heart to strangers  and allowed them to feed you with more expertise and wisdom in this area of "knowing".

But what is going on right now, in this season of your life....is that you are allowing people who are less experienced and less knowledgeable to hinder your life's journey. You are supposed to rise above their pettiness and rivalry, but instead you are getting offended by their immature comments and stares.

 You are better than this. You have come so far. You have raised yourself up beyond the spaces these people are mired in. They resent you because they do not know that they are stuck, and are haughty and overly confident in the space  in which they are stuck.

You, my friend, are not stuck. You are lonely because of your excellence. You are lonely because of your dreams. Do not run. Walk confidently....one step at a time....and write down your goals. Loneliness is not a catastrophe. You will make better acquaintances once you rise above to spaces and places...where you belong.

The simple thing is.....is that you know you are above this. You are embarrassed that you have allowed others to get you down. You're miserable not because you have disappointed others...but because you have disappointed yourself. There is still time. There is still time. This game ain't over.

That's all. May these words help you...in peaceful productivity.

Carla. 

Should We Only Learn from "Nice" People?

Some of the folks I have learned the most from are not what most people would call
"nice"....in fact....pretty much no one would call any of them friendly....


As someone who came from a deeply religious background, I was pretty much raised to favor teachers and mentors who were classicly "nice" and "good".

But what does an inquiring mind do, when one runs out of nice people with good information?
You go seek out the information you need from WHATEVER source that is hiding it from you.
You may have to face many nasty folks who will make it their purpose in life to hide the best information from you personally. It is personal. They don't want you to win. They don't want you to get ahead.

Life is not always gentle. Life is not always kind.
We need to grow thicker emotional hides so that we can withstand the subtle or not-so-subtle insults that modern society may throw at you or your family.

You must model that strong emotional armor that is required to succeed in today's modern work place.

Don't be afraid. You are stronger than you think. Face those obstacles and make sure you keep searching and searching and hunting down those fountains of accurate knowledge that will propel you to the next level of accomplishing your goals.

Don't forget, my dear friends, that it is vital that you formulate and write down in black and white just PRECISELY what your life goals are. Be specific and give a "completion" date that you want to reach each goal by.

Keep your list of life goals handy and recite them daily. ..out loud to yourself and to God and maybe to a trusted friend or partner if you feel you want to share your list with another humanoid.
But be very careful to never share your list of goals with someone who may mock you for your ambition or try to "knock you off of your pedestal".

You'd be surprised by  how many people are totally intimidated by people with real definite written life goals.

Goals are what separates the lost souls from the bold conquerors who accomplish incredible feats in their lives, one small step at a time.

Get started gaining the knowledge and accurate up to date information that you need in order to accomplish your goals. Be faithful to believe in yourself. Pray about your list of goals and allow God to show you any tweaking you may need to do.... to prune out anything wild from your list.

In Peaceful productivity,
Carla.
