Journal - Friday - June 30, 2023 - SOUL


What am I doing with my SOUL?

I am NOT talking about the HEAVEN & HELL soul. Seriously, for those that must then please know I truly believe, WE are ALL going to hell in a handbasket. There is no escaping it. 

But I digress. 

I am actually talking about the SOUL that drives us today. The SOUL that we have our passion rooted in. The SOUL that is who we are right here, right now.

The SOUL that is our mission, our vision, our passion. The SOUL that is who we are and how we live in the present. This moment. Again, not the soul people claim we will need later.

What Am I Doing With My SOUL?

I am taking inventory on the daily. I do so because I want to be better today. Better than yesterday. Before the hypocrites get up in arms about being better. Remember, this is my definition, like it or not. I more than likely do not like nor care about what your definition "of the day" is or is not. I believe in me. Again, whether you believe in yourself is a moot point to me.

I truly live and breathe being better today has nothing to with going to heaven and hell. Doing what is best for you and your SOUL today is heaven!

As I have said, so many will disagree. SO WHAT? Let them disagree. Let them enjoy and wallow in the experience being wrong.

Letting others disagree is picture perfect. It means you are NOT thinking like the crowd. 

As for the crowd and their souls. Well, to be honest (just look around and prove me wrong), most of them are hypocrites. Living their crappy miserable lives for all week with the exception of that one hour a week that relieves them of their guilt, shame, and anguish. Then as soon as the church bell rings. game over! There they go back to their reality of lust, gluttony, jealousy, and coveting. Seriously, I challenge anyone to prove me wrong. Oh, and before you begin with that casting stones or living in glass houses. I KNOW EXACTLY WHO AND WHAT I AM AND WHERE I LIVE.

Again, I digress.

Don't become like those hypocrites that always play both sides of the coin. They play that game without shame and impunity. The once discovered they play another game. The game of victim. 

Don't become another hypocrite, take a STAND. No matter what that stand is, you take and live it. Let it become you PRESENT. 

Lastly, when taking that STAND make absolutely certain that stand is what YOU want and DAMN anyone that tries to play the "I am your parent" or "I am your elder" or any other NONSENSICAL AUTHORITARIAN card.  Be really cautious when they want add a dash of religion and they do so to play their game. Challenge that...ALWAYS.

It is up to you. It is your LIFE. It is your SOUL to keep because when you are standing in the spotlight or in their crosshairs the ONLY thing that matters is YOU RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW.
