Live free and happy or live hurt and depressed?
You are like a child with a knife in your hand and you keep stabbing yourself with the knife, that is why I must slap your hand so you will let go of the knife. Of course, when I slap your hand it hurts. So just let go of the knife, stop stabbing yourself, and then I won’t need to slap your hand anymore.
Don’t start with excuses saying “You don’t know the way I feel!” I know the way you feel, you feel weak because you feel alone, you feel alone because you don’t feel God. This is what I mean when I say “You have forgotten God”.
Don’t start saying “It is you putting me down!” — because you are the one who is putting yourself down first. If you think I can hurt you, then you are making yourself weak, you are putting yourself down.
If you think “Rasa/Jack/Jessamine, (whoever), can not hurt me” then you are making yourself strong.
I already told you how to stop getting hurt. If you say “I don’t want to be hurt” it is different from saying “I will not allow anyone to hurt me anymore”.
You’re the only, you’re the one who can make your life the way you want it to be. You are the only one who is allowing yourself to be hurt by others.
Don’t start again with excuses saying “I can’t even say my feelings!” — because your feelings are the knife you keep stabbing yourself with. It is all just blah blah blah you are telling yourself.
“I am always typically misunderstood, some people think that what they see is what I am. I know that you’re thinking I am crazy. You would be so wrong, I am just determined, to make you see all that I can be” — this is blah blah blah, again an excuse.
When you think thoughts like that, your mind is turning to the negative.
I am not helping you. You are reading it. It is only you who is helping yourself, if you listen to me you are helping yourself, if you feel hurt by what I say then you are hurting yourself — because the only one that can hurt you is You and only you! Otherwise, if you feel hurt just by reading it, I can still keep slapping your hand until finally you decide to put the kife down.
And where is your source of strength? YOUR SOURCE OF STRENGTH IS GOD. If you can not connect with God, then you can not connect with the true source of strength.
Life has two doors: Live free and happy, or stay in the way of hurt and depression. You choose the best for you. You can change it once you understand the wrong way. Don’t forget what you think, you become. Don’t say it will be hard, don’t think it, because it will become hard. Think instead “this will be easy!” and yes, it will be easy for you.
Don’t say you can’t — because it doesn’t matter how long it takes to get through the road. All that matters, is how big a fight you put up to get through. Don’t say you can’t — because you can.
When other people see how long the road you gotta take is, they just say you can’t do it, and then they walk away. They are just bringing you down because they know they couldn’t do it themselves. This is your chance to shut them up, and make them have nothing to say.
It’s worth it to make them see they can’t control the things you achieve. You’re the only, you’re the one who can make your life the way you want it to be.
