Cowards and Living Today

 

How many times have your heard these words “a coward dies a thousand deaths” yet the courageous life a legacy that lasts forever. Today, we are faced with heroes fighting the cowards dressed in black and faces hidden. They snake through the night to find their innocent living wanting to destroy, murder or take their lives with no remorse whatsoever.

One has to ask, why do they commit these hideous and barbaric crimes? Why do they hate people so much and why are they possessed with such diabolical evil? How do these cowards sleep at night? When they wash their faces how do they face themselves in the mirror covered with the blood of innocents? Do they wear their masks to hide the truth or do they fear the retaliation from others who do not feel the same as they do.

Or are they trying so hard to seek shelter from the truth. Does the killing, the massacres and the kidnapping of others take them on a holy journey or do they end up in hell. How can they believe what they are doing is in the name of their god and how does covering their faces make them unrecognizable in their hearts and soul to the true God.  One cannot hide such things as moral as life and death.

Surely, their indoctrination does not give them the right to rape and plunder. It is through their ignorance of right and wrong they follow the evildoers to their death and pray to become a martyr under a false god. They will never visit or set one foot on the holy ground or the palace of heaven. They will never be greeted and welcomed in the eyes of our God and be forgiven for what they have done.

Cowardly, they seek the people who live their lives in peace and harmony. Cowardly they kill the ones who pray each time to their true God to ask for confession, forgiveness and understanding of those who are filled with hate. They never bothered anyone, yet they are targeted for destruction and killed without remorse of compassion. They are the peaceful ones and look to others to feel safe in their homes, their schools and their travels.

It is likely their war on peace will never end. It is likely they have already packed their bags to hell. While the peaceful lot seek the love and understanding from their true God, these cowards plot to kill and chant the words of death out loud on the street, on the battlefield and in the markets where they catch the people unaware that death is about to come and end it all.

The challenge today is how to stop these cowards. The problem is to identify them without their masks, guns, their grenades, and bombs. They seek refuge amongst those who think just like them and encourage the slaughter like sheep attacked by wolves in the middle of the night when there is no one around to protect them while they sleep.

I know this impact our children more than anything else. Once this mass slaughter travels the oceans and comes home to us, we too will feel the pain so many suffer in those countries like France, England, Spain and Belgium. Unfortunately, children cannot protect themselves from these cowards. They are easy prey and silently they lay their dead on the street or in the arms of their mother.

Our homeland is under threats of these cowards and we need to prepare for war as there are many of them and too many sheep here that sleep while the killing is going on. They thing they are safe because they don’t speak out against these cowards but these cowards carry no allegiance to the peaceful ones. They only know how to kill and kill they will.

Fear no Man

Dog On A 10 Foot Chain by Donna Hughes (OFFICIAL)

Fear no Man

Fear no Man

 

Fear makes some men cowards. Fear makes other men courageous and create more than a “fight or flight” syndrome that may surprise you if you underestimated the man’s heart. Whatever the challenge may be, many act in a manner of duty and do not be daunted.

Instead, they rise to the occasion to handle whatever danger they face and do it with their honor, integrity and moral character to fight for the good and defeat the bad.

People get many opportunities in life. Opportunities to be successful or to fail. Their choices leads them down the pathway of multiple decisions and many choose between what is right and what makes them wealthy. To be wealthy should not be wrong but if done through sin, it is not earned. The morality is always there and never leaves the body while alive.

Wicked people gain their wickedness and strength from other wicked people. An honest, godly man is better than a wicked man who gets courage and strength from the good things in life. A poor man is better than a wicked rich man. A dishonest man has no comfort in himself while to honest man feels shameless and happy in travels.

Sin makes men cowards yet all men commit sins. We have to decide which sin is better and which are greater in the world we know to be imperfect and corrupted. One understands hate and the good understand love. Those are the blessings or sins we deal with daily.

We either choose to keep the devil as a companion or we walk with God and do what puts others to shame. Yet life is so complicated, it is hard to find comfort in himself as it is a greater challenge to do good than evil. The evil may not last for long but the love will last forever.

Some indulge in sin and dwell in hell forever. Others live in a land of righteousness and have the glory, the liberty and the success they count as blessings. To indulge in sin causes fear for men knowns what is wrong and what is right.  He who covers his sins, finds no true peace.

From day one, the Democrats are decoding your leadership and your campaign promises. What really matters is whether or not what you do for the people of Arizona is good or not so good and not what the Democrats want of wish you would do. I know it’s no secret you are a leader, an effective leader and someone who will take care of business.

Arizona is in deep trouble. Speaking as a registered Republican, we are deep in fiscal difficulties and we need leadership that drives down the deficit and bring back some of the surplus we had many years ago. I believe you are the man who can do this with your business skills and high performance energy.

The hard part is consistency. We are doing things today in this state that we need to change, reverse or re-prioritize. Some examples are the protection of our children, the educational system and the border security matter.

Also in dire need of change is the way Arizona drives up prison populations and increases the costs of incarceration much higher than other states. We need prison leadership reforms and policy changes.

The values of these things brings me to ask how you are going to resolve this issue. Status quo in my opinion is not going to allow us to get out of the red and back into the black.  We know consistency is a vital and critical part of leadership for it sends a unified and clear message to those who work for you.

I know you are a man who defines contextual materials as a necessity for a standard baseline or foundation. I hope you capture the ability to do this. Your inaugural speech was motivational to many who still believe Arizona can be one of the top ten states in the country.

You shaped your speech around people, opportunities and vision. It was indeed an enthusiastic communication to say the least. I know your mission will bear fruit. I know your leadership will bring hope and opportunities. I know you will assess each state agency and make relevant changes to move forwards and not backwards. I support you in your difficult endeavor to bring Arizona out of the darkness and back into the light.

Is the Effort worth the Prize?

 

Since my retirement in 2010, I have been reading more books and more blogs than ever before trying to figure out whether achieving your goal is worth the effort needed to bring success to your own dreams coming true. Ever since the beginning, we have been told to keep our” eyes on the prize” and focused all our energies, efforts and persistence guide us towards that journey.

Chronicling the truth in this concept of believing in your dreams brings up some very interesting facts in your journey to success. Writing and documenting my research on personal development, character building and techniques in gaining characteristics that reflect honor, integrity and good moral turpitude, it has been a long exhausting trek to find a conclusive ending to this question, “is the effort worth the prize?”

It is likely my answers are not very clear or presented in any logical or rational fashion that is acceptable to be the truth or even a matter of fact for many who struggle with the same question. In fact, I would not ever hesitate to call it a conclusion as is purely based on my emotional intelligence as well as my emotional energy as it presented itself to me while under some kind of duress or distress to keep it as objective as it could be without tainting it too much with my own subjectivity on the matter.

Let me elaborate. Answering this question is purely speculative and based on my own individual argument that the effort is worth the prize. As it is seen by reflection of my life and experiences, it makes sense to me how I attained my own successes while discovering or gleaning my actual sacrifices or pain attained along the way. Giving some credit to divine intervention, I gathered the fact that in most cases of my success, I was in charge of myself and somehow made a negative event a positive gain in my life.

It’s very much like asking the question, “is there a God?” and then trying to understand the question as thoroughly as you can. Even though you feel one way about the question, there are some things that makes you see or realize how other things may cast doubt on your beliefs and those around you who influence you in many ways. What is strange about these kind of self-evaluations or questions asked of yourself, it seems to be another layer of stress, anxiety and complexity you put on yourself as you search for the answers of life.

Searching for the truth often requires you to step out of the box or in this case, your comfort zone that is dictated by your social and religious foundations. How much are you willing to drift from the box to find the answer? The farther you travel, the closer you are to learning more important things about yourself, your world and your character.

Risky to say the least, it takes both physical and mental preparation to take such a journey. There will be moments of irony as well as instants of oxymoron situations and other remarkable contradictive situations you must handle in order to go forward in your research. How much freedom you lose or gain will depend on the path you take.

Lastly, during such a journey you will find yourself in compromising or challenging positions that considered to be in-between locations as you search for the truth. Now you must ask yourself, is the effort worth the prize and decide to settle for less or keep on going. It repeats itself over and over until you reach your dream or your goal. Regardless, this is a very up close and personal event and nobody can help you decide which way to go, or when to stop and be satisfied where you are at.

Saddle on my back

Saddle on my back

 We are all aware of the American idiom of “back in the saddle again” and the phrase “saddle up” referring to the world of cowboys and their way of life. When someone said, “saddle up” is was a way to communicate it was time to leave. Hence we all can related to the idiom in our own world as a means to illustrate overcoming life’s adversity and getting back into the game of life whether it be personal or work related challenges.

Using the same ideology or phrasing, it is likely many people understand the phrase normally expressed by the words, “do I have a saddle on my back?” referring to being rode by someone else to get things done or completed. The fact is in life, we all have a saddle on our backs and how we deal with it is very important. As a metaphor a “saddle” may be a burden or task or even a responsibility in life or career choices.

The metaphor “saddle” is and can be varied on the situation or situations faced with in your life. Whether or not the metaphor is a positive or negative connotation is up to the person’s own perspective and ability to handle such a challenge or barrier when faced with it.

Regardless, we all bear the burden of sitting in the saddle and whether we sit tall [proud] or upright is up to how you view your life in general as it is maintained by your own values, integrity and character whenever possible..

Nowhere in this analogy is there a suggestion you just sit back and relax. Sitting in the saddle and doing your job will in many ways keep your boss off your back. In metaphorical terms it will keep him from riding you and putting a saddle on your back to get things done. Getting back in the saddle bring self-confidence into the mix as well as leadership and a proactive approach to finish what is started.

A great employee focuses on the positive things in life and business. They know there will be adversities but sitting upright in the saddle and getting the job done right will keep their boss or other persons in charge off their backs removing any faint idea or notion there is a saddle on his or her back.

Sitting in the saddle could also be referred to as being in the driver’s seat or the person in charge or control of things or persons around them. Life can be and is often irritating to some and are often expressed as having “a burr under one’s saddle” meaning that someone or something is irritation him or her. Sarcasm can also be prompted by the use of the word “saddle” as one can say something looks or is ridiculous without coming out and saying the word.

The expression would be similar to saying it “looks like a saddle on a sow” giving it a ridiculous undertone. Last but not least, we can use the word “saddle” to refer to someone or something that reflects or perceives a situation to be a burden or something undesirable in your life or work. Saying you are “saddled up with someone” reflects being stuck with someone you either don’t like or don’t want to work with. They can be regarded as annoying or difficult people to deal with either as a supervisor or a co-worker. Regardless, the metaphor “saddle” is widely used and applied in work and life. How you perceive it depends on the situation it is applied to at the moment it is used.
