TRUTH IS.. (70 hits)



i would love to tell you how unfair life is..



i would love to tell you how

every unreasonable circumstance that you have dealt with

is the fault of

living..



your ears probably want to hear

how all your troubles are due to the fact that

you were just a victim of conditions

and the provisions

that you needed weren’t provided..



so you decided

that life was a cat burgular

creeping and sneeking

into your world stealing all that belongs to you..

leaving you butt naked

and faded into the dust..



leaving you feeling like somebody left you

and now there’s a gaping hole

where your soul used to be..



but see..



truth is



life is a process..



the process of sowing and reaping..

you can’t expect seeds to grow without the harvest

such seeds as consistency

motivation

discipline

and focus

all have the essential vitamins that get you thru

life..



fear only uproots your energy

leaving you feeling empty

like a bottle washed up on sand from ocean tides..



fear will have you asking why

you don’t appreciate little things

like birds traveling through the sky

and the brightness in a child’s eye..



truth is



for a minute

you may be able to pull the wool on life

but sooner or later you will definitely pay the price

and the bill will be itemized..



listing all the seeds

that you neglected to turn into good deeds..



so the only thing left to do is tally up the remaining blessings

and be thankful..



because the truth is



the life you live

is the very same essence of God

and the choices you make will determine how hard

it will be..



see



as long as you claim “victim” as your name

you will constantly continue to blame

life

for your mistakes

instead of recognizing that it’s better choices

YOU need to make..



life ain’t hard

unless you make it that way…

Loving it!!!
We got to reach out to those who we see continue to make bad choices and lend them a hand up... sometimes they just don't know because when most know better they do better.
