The Answer You've Been Looking For...

You know, we have all been through a lot.
Countless hardships, joys and sorrows, endless challenges day after day.
Pains and pleasures, losses and gains, even monotonous stagnation and boredom.
Apathy and Ambition, the essence of our lives.

And for many of us today might just be the most difficult day yet...

But the Good News is that...


I know the Way, my Compass always points to True.


So all of you better listen up, I'll teach you how it Works.
And I came here today to...

But what would I know you might ask?
This may at first glace seem so senseless and shallow...

But I've spent a year and a half sleeping on a concrete sidewalk.
I was exposed to the elements; rain, snow, wind, freezing cold, sweltering heat.
I was alone in my desolation, I had no friends, no one to talk to, no one that cared.
I lost my family, my children, I struggled in pains of every kind, my body ached, my Heart bled in anguish.
I was imprisoned for many months without conviction with hardened criminals for doing the Right thing, for Love.
I've gone many days starving without food, I was on the edge of death more than once.

You see I have this perpetual issue...


And I always just gotta...


Oh I know what it's like at the bottom, in the gutter, but...


And what of it?
My life is getting better day by day, Magic is happening all around me.
I am changing, growing, progressing, succeeding... slowly but surely.

And it was all because I learned that...


All I had to do was...

It's so simple, yet so unbelievably hard sometimes!
Everything around me looks one way, yet in my Heart I knew it was all an illusion.
So I stuck with it even though it seemed completely insane,
and I eventually discovered it was the only thing that actually works!


It's like I couldn't get anywhere, I was completely lost.
Like this Life of mine was over for nothing with no purpose or gain!

But I started to realize in my lonliness, that I was Lucky to have lived the life I had.
That I was Blessed and that...


And now I understand what this "Magic Word" is really all about.
I have been arrogant for most of my life, thinking I was so clever and smart,
yet it took my entire life to figure this one word out!
I just didn't get it, but now I do...


When you just believe against all odds, against all evidence, against reality itself -
that God will rescue you and make things better and help, it HAPPENS!
Maybe not right away, maybe it takes a long time, but it will come.
And it's never easy, every day you gotta try again and again, you gotta realize the fact that...



And that...

But what do I mean by it? Well...



And...


Look, it's simple...


It's like on a daily basis I faced two choices, give up or keep on going.
I realized the harsh reality that...


I'm here to tell you from experience, I've been down that long dark tunnel of Hell and suffering,
I felt the incredible emotions, the physical pain, I had the crazy thoughts, I've known Hate and Anger,
frustration and anxiety, hopelessness and disillusionment.

So what's my message to you?

It's far easier said than done, I know this, but I'm here to remind you, and myself...






You gotta get it through your skull, God rules the whole Universe and made a Promise to us!



And have...


Every day, no matter what's going on, try to keep reminding yourself...


God is everywhere around you, but...

Words of Wisdom...




So get up, brush yourself off, and say it with me now...


Why? Because...


What is my job? What is your job?


Teach others...

The greatest lesson in our lives is about...


Here is a simple diagram...


I don't know how else to put it...





Sometimes walking in circles works!


Are you...


Just...

Never give up. Your victory is assured.

As someone who's always getting my butt kicked by the world, let me tell you...


I may have been alone, no support, no friends, no family, and no one believed in me, but...


It's a fact...


I was there man, I was ready to give up.
But something inside of me just couldn't accept that.


It was God's voice reminding me...




Just think rationally for a moment, God is "Almighty" and "Loves You"...


And by all means...

Stop looking at the reality around you, it always changes so quickly, always!
Look into your Heart, find God, communicate, express your everything to the One who created everything!
Find out who You are, what your Purpose is, and always remember...






Anything can happen!
Especially when...


So...


When your enemies are too strong, when life is too hard, when everything is collapsing down and crushing you...


So you can just...






What's that? Forget your problems for a minute and?


Remember...

So forget all your woes and...






Go all out!


Maybe you can...

This is how...


All I had to do was...

I'm glad I'm me too!
Very much so!

We should help the less fortunate because they didn't get to be us and the world needs people like us.

Pick a charity and contribute to it!
We make the world better by making ourselves better and sharing it!

That threads later on.
I actually am going to do a 42 thread.
It's above top secret for right now...

Can I do everything that your thread suggests without a god?

I have faith in myself that I can, do you?

Here's the happy song that I heard on the radio somewhere this morning that caused me to decide to write this thread:

No.

You cannot control the universe around you, you can only influence it to a degree.
Therefore your arrogance will be crushed inevitably in a huge way.

You need outside help to survive the chaos and impending peril.
