Who Is In Charge

      We all want to live abundantly.  To you does it mean being rich, famous, well thought of, popular, thin, have breast augmentation, etc.?  Sounds like a good thing, right?  Not necessarily.  That means whatever goes wrong has happened because you are in charge.  It means if you lose your job, your house, your company, your health it is your fault.  After all those things, Wealth, Fame, Popularity are all human based.  So if they are gone it means your identity is also gone, because you can't live abundantly without them.  Yep, that is a lot to think about.

     You have been taught from the beginning that everything you want you can have.  What's more there is no reason to wait.  Your dreams are about all that matters, well, that and fulfilling them.  Everything else is secondary to what you want.  All you have to do is start by loving yourself above all else.  It isn't as though that needs to be taught.  We do it naturally!  But I have lousy self-esteem you might say.  Perhaps you do because it seems to me that self-esteem comes from learning to handle adversity successfully, not in being told you are wonderful.  Again that is a lot to think about.  Let me lay another one on top of that.  You are the one who make a decision of being in love or not.  Yes, you heard me right.  Love is a decision!

     It is a lot to think about.  Would that mean my strength comes not from myself, that when I'm right it was probably an accident?  Does what I think, when I'm thinking how lousy my self-esteem is, mean I'm wrong?

     Do you recognize that weakness, as the world sees it, may well be strength that could save the whole world.  Do you think of love as a weak emotion and not as a final decision.  Our divorce rate seems to indicate that is what the world thinks.  In loving a person and hating the sin am I strong?  There is a book we have that everyone in the world makes fun of that says it is so.  This book tells you who is in charge and what will ultimately happen in the world.  Worried about the election.  Don't be.  The book tells us who is in charge.  You might want to read that book.  Think about it.
