"Keep Moving Forward"

Keep Moving Forward:

          To all out there hurting, feeling wounded, and beat down. Poor, wanting, and hungry for better things. Know that even though you feel alone in your plight; Know that you are not. There are those like myself that also feel at the "end of their ropes". That feel as though their words are unheard, or forgotten. There are others just like you, that feel like their loyalty, and sacrifices, and Love have been taken for granted. Know that there are still others that do care.  That they will fight the world tooth, and nail to make a better life. No matter how hard, or bumpy the road gets. Know that there are still people out there, that would give their health, and happiness, just to see someone else happily accomplishing their dreams.
   Know that there are still those out there that would give you the world, and be your partner. Fighting the good fight by your side. You may not have found them yet, and it may seem like the end of the world like you, "Cant take another step". It may feel like you're being ripped apart at the seams. Like things will never get better.
    Know that deep inside we are out there, hurting, lost, Feeling defeated just as you are hoping that someone will meet them in the middle. Hoping that Someone will be "that person". You may feel unwanted or invisible. Or like no one cares to take the time to listen.  Know we are still out there seeking the same thing. So no matter how much you want it all to end.  No matter how weak you feel. Just know you've gotta pick yourself up. And keep pushing forward and drop the "Blinders of Misery".
       Tear down those rusted walls, Lick those wounds and "Keep Moving Forward"-Meet The Robinsons (to quote a Favorite movie of mine). Yes you may get hurt again, and again. But thats just it. Its an emotion. A chemical reaction causing physical circumstance. And You are in control of it You Hold the Power to change it and turn it in to something Beautiful.
   You!, are "The Ultimate Creator and Destroyer" of your own life and happiness, and not one person On this planet, has that power over you. Be your own Creator Open your eyes to LOVE, HAPPINESS, HIDDEN BEAUTY, and remember;  All things Fade, and the Past doesn't matter, as long as you "Keep Moving Forward".      #food4thought

Rags to Richness

There was a time when I was Living in my car, unbeknownst to my family and I was showering every day, held a job and, always had what I needed except 1 day I was a little short on gas, and had to get to work to get my check. So I did a lil panhandling.
Out of everyone I approached that would even stop to listen, I'd get a dollar or maybe some pocket change....But to this day I still remember 1 man He handed me a $5 bill... the most anyone had given me. I soon found that it was not out of his generosity. It was in fact out of hatred and disgust that this man gave me this money?! For in fact the Bill had "YOU'RE SHIT" written in bold marker, inside the bill. Which means this man not even knowing the situation (I could have been a vet who came home with no place to live), without even knowing that, though homeless I was still a hard working Tax paying citizen supporting myself...this man made this bill on purpose, and held it, and carried its negative energy on his person for however long. Just waiting to make someone in need, feel even lower than they already did ....and instead of earning the volumes of respect I momentarily had for that man, he merely destroyed the positive energy I was sending his way. Losing a piece of his own soul just to feel proud and better than someone?!? 
I actually felt sorry for that man. Even though I was the one in need, because I knew at that moment that I would live a much more fulfilling and richer life than he ever would no matter how much money he had. And I hope that one day if he is in need someone Hands him a $5 bill But instead of what he wrote I hope they write " Things will Get better Just keep trying!" inside because some of the people that are down on that street may be there because of circumstsances that are out of their control. Because society forgot about them, and looked down upon them because they have less than others. And work hard for what little they have and even sacrifice their dignity just to survive. All because this world has shut them off or made them a Paria without even taking time to find out why they are where they are.
Please don't forget about those people in need take the time to listen to a stranger once in a while even if they may be a con for its your actions that determine your Karma, even if its a con you were still humble and cared to help someone in need .... so help when you can because one Day they may be the one Handing you a dollar for food or shelter.
