You are not alone!

You are not alone!

On an earth plane where there are billions of people and you think you are the only one going through something, there is news bad and good to let you know otherwise.

Bad news, there are millions of people that are going through what you are going through, some similar, some identical, some the opposite.   We are unique in many ways but the same in most, in that we all have a body, mind and soul and have heartaches, pains, disappointments, fears and many more characteristics that are too many to mention all!  We get the point and understand that we share those humanly qualities that were endowed on all us, the distinctions become prevalent when we began to branch off into categories of who, what, when, where and even how! 

The thing that most ask themselves and maybe others is why do I go through what I go through and seem to struggle within my mind the things that affect me the most and cause me and others harm sometimes if not all the time?  Sometimes it "may" appear that others have it easy and that things just always work better for them than us.  We seem to go through more down times than up times.  Experiencing vast let downs and hard get ups!  

It looks like we are always struggling and don't believe anyone understands our pain, our problems, our predicaments.  When we turn to motivational people it really puts us further in a mind state of more let downs because we began to think we should be upbeat as they or at least be open and understanding of life's topic of which they inspire in others to hopefully grasp us into that same mind set.  It only makes us more uncomfortable and not easily convince that what they are trying to motivate in us is just a tailored made remedy for their life journey.  We really began to wonder if those ticker numbers are accurate under their profile or speech.  Are they really real people that have been inspired by that one individual?  

It's funny because when we wake up each day, we realize that there are more and more people like ourselves that are perplex with this system with this society, evident by what transpires on a daily basis through the news, internet, social media on our computers, laptops, cell phones, our i pads and other forms of entry into our miserable lives, so we think!

That actually is not the case, there is a vast and great portion of society, the world that is thriving and surviving without the side effects constantly in their lives gnawing at their very essence of who they are and what they must do to give back to the world as well as indulge in productive endeavors.  That is where the "good news" becomes apparent.

The good news on the other hand is about living and recognizing that defeat is only in the mind once it is set in the heart.  If outside influences are constantly beckoning you to play the game, first learn to play the game, the rules, the procedures, the rewards and the penalties.  The good news is to see that the world is available to teach us how to walk our path with compassion.  Have you ever wondered what happens when you forget your problems, issues and hang ups and search (even if it is the internet) for higher understanding of others in this walk with us, near and far?

There are so many awesome people in the world that it just makes me smile to think about all the wonderful things that the living souls on this earth plane have done and accomplished.  I know it appears that no doubt that it can get hectic and even rough sometimes, but it is a schoolhouse of learning but why?  It is for our edification and advancement in our temporary existence.  Most people that are addicted to some form of attachment that is chained to them do not realize that all they must do is not claim that burden anymore, have strong convictions to overcome by supporting a good cause.  (Too many can be listed, it is an individual thing, and one must figure that out, a good cause that is!) 

Everyone has a time in life that they must conclude that life is either good or bad and it don't necessarily deal the hand that you got.   We must realize that we must take charge of how we live our lives.   When we get older we can believe that life is less of a burden and there is  joy all around this earth. 

If you struggling with addictions, just realize that there is help out here for you to overcome those addictions and you rest assure that there are many people out here in the world that are willing to help you in anyway possible.  One of the things I realize is that focusing on the positive things in life can help you through all the pain and suffering that you might be experiencing in your life.

Sometimes you can try something different in your life like maybe a hobby, or maybe help someone that s less fortunate than you, like maybe a handicap which makes them unable to do the things that you can do.  This can give you an opportunity to reach out and make it better for them while highlighting your very own life to greater heights with no string attached to your addiction over taking you and suppressing you and continuing to put you at disadvantage.  Seek greater things, separate yourself from negative individuals, focus on what you can do to improve and help us and start something important in your life that will uplift not only yourself but those who are around you!

We at OMG believe in you, because we believe in ourselves! We believe in sharing, caring and showing love!  We say stay focus and do a 360 to see the other side of the coin and the beauty of life without the baggage!

Addicted!

Addicted!

We the OMG team want to express our love to all and to let everyone know that an addiction is one that can be overcome! We all have a story to tell and we all can elaborate on something that we might have been addicted to. 

We all have a story to tell but what is so wonderful about the stories being told is that we have beat our various addictions.  With the love and the support perhaps by family members or an organization or just doing it alone we can voice our accomplishments and let others know how we have overcome. 

It is power when we can honestly be strong enough to say "enough" and move pass the things that make us subjected to misery and pain in our lives.  I had mention that I had a story to tell and it is about my journey of overcoming smoking.  I really loved to smoke and felt the need to pick up a cigarette to just think.  A cig, after eating.  A cigarette for relaxation.  I was sure that I was not addicted.  I knew that I could just put them down I thought.  The struggle became real within a certain time period in my life!  

I stopped smoking one time in my life and I had help with eating cinnamon candy.  I had read that it would offset the taste and help one to actually stop smoking.  I had just purchased a carton of cigarettes and decided to just give them up.  I thought about the money I spent to buy the carton and said to myself, I'll wait until I finish this carton of cigarettes To my surprise I had this strong urge to just stop.  I did and I did not smoke for three years. 

I decided after three years, I was gaining a little weight and I didn't want that so I pick back up the habit of smoking again.  I continue to smoke another four or five years and I notice that as I got older I was gaining a little weight here and there, nothing to be alarm at but the smoking was causing me to be short of breath at times.  I smelled of smoke and the environment where I smoke smell also.  I hated the fact that I would smoke around other people.  One of the most awaking things I notice was the taste was getting nasty in my mouth it was like my mouth stayed dry all the time.  The tobacco and nicotine was so obvious from the smell to the taste to the aftereffects of it's smoke all over the place.  The most profound thing I became aware of was the fact that the price of  cigarettes had become so high I didn't want to continue to spend all that money on them.  I also realize within myself, I was paying the companies to kill me.  So the first thing I attempted to do was buy some filters to put on the cigarettes to hopefully cut down on the nicotine getting into my lungs.  That was a struggle because than the cigarettes did not taste good at all and it wasn't a deterrent it was a hindrance. I just decided to go cold turkey and now I'm smoke free and loving it because the smells, the tastes and the annoyance to others is all gone and I feel a lot happier since I can breathe a lot better.  

I figured why not be addicted to loving the fact that I can do anything if I set my mind to it and I kicked that bad habit, so can anyone else!

OMG Motto

OMG Motto

In order to make it in this world, even when you feel you are all alone, is sharing some of your time or conversation or time or some worldly possession with others.  It will give you empowerment.  It will fill that emptiness within your soul!  Try it!

If you believe that caring is one of the age old emotions that got the people through time, you are on the right track of fulfilling a space in your soul that is lonely.  Try it!

When you are always showing love, you have reach that plateau of understanding who and what you are!

Why not try it!

With all of the above, unity is inevitable and truth will always stand!

Keep Hope lit!

Keep Hope lit!

The more you think of the things you look forward to do and have, you realize that you always hope for it.  Hope is a part of what you continue to believe in and you have expectation that it will come.  If you hope that you will get that job you had that feeling inside of you that it was yours.  You begin to speak it into existences because you wanted to happen base on the hope that you had in the thing, idea, person, place or time.  We must keep hope lit, so that we can retrieve the correct formula to formulate that belief that we have within us to make something happen.  Don't never stop hoping, for it is the very opening to all that you will get, have and retain in this life.  Once Hope is fore fronted into that special place, your very essence is happy for you had that "feeling" that what you hope for will manifest.  That is what you wanted.  I believe that hoping is a form of wishing for they both have strong feelings of wanting  or desiring something or someone.  If we keep Hope lit, it will shine it's light on any subject matter that we can think of and desire and even have a feel for.

Isaiah 40:31 Those who hope in the Most High will renew their strength.  They will soar on wings like eagles.

"All of Me!"

"All of Me!"

I know I have been through a lot of changes, " All of me," My life is an open book of special arranges.

I've done and seen many unusual things, "All of me," I escape hardships through particular means.

No matter what I found myself into, "All of me," I remained loyal to myself and now can see it through.

"All of me" is in it to win, Whatever I did I don't have to answer or defend.

From my very head to my toe, "All of me," I have a new life now, ready to roll.

I'm going to stand strong and tall, "All of me," I'm heal now I can join yall!

We must be reminded that even though we don't wear others shoes, or stand under the same umbrella of life, we all must partake of the rainy days as well as the sunshine that cast it's light on us too!  We all have experienced events and situations that could bring us shame but at the end of the day, the sunshine washes away that rain.  We come to a point in our lives that the world and everything in it is more important than what we perceive as our own world.  We don't have to turn back to those particular abuses or homelessness, we can rise and be accounted for and recognize as a walking journal to be read for who we are now and not what our past whispered us to have been.  

Stand up and take note of your life.  Grow in wisdom and understanding, seek that knowledge and support and love. Share, care and show that love that has always been a part of you.  Never feel alone, or lost, or in a bubble, for you are needed in so many ways to show the world you are that special being, that has overcome and will not turn back!  Reach out and touch others when you have made it to that elevation for you are ready to take your rightful place in society again as a whole living soul!

The Vision Gets Clearer!

The Vision Gets Clearer!

When we are traveling down that road, we forget sometimes the particular path we were on.  We get side tracked with our constant stops and go's.  We deviate from the path to find ourselves in incognito, hiding our true self.  That very confidence, swipe from us like a credit card paying.  We don't know the time or the procedure to make it back where we must be.


Now we are all alone, feeling the shade of our deviation.  We must wake from the rim of delusion and gather our thoughts and our perspective and continue our journey.  That is our rite, our obligation our turn to cross that bridge and enter into the clear, the light, the moment of grand design to stand not only alone but with lone memories of how we made it.  This too is a great thing when you realize your potential and forge ahead to a greater place, a more peaceful arena for the productivity that will stem from your soul once you have it, you must present it and make it worth the while.

That crossing of the bridge is one more notch in your memoir that your progenitor will speak to the world!  You have begun to capture the very essence of your nature when you take one step at a time and comprehend each move that you take is for a definite time and place later to be acknowledge by your very success of crossing that one more bridge!  Now the vision gets clearer.

You see where you are going and there is no time for ease.  You stay woke and on top of the moment so that you can share it with all!  The force of knowing that you can do this again and again to the point of creating a sector of your life that is rewarding because you didn't give up you followed the dream, the vision, the know of how you must cross that bridge to get to the other destiny awaiting you to start again!  The vision is clearer!

"Reflection"

"Reflection"

Reflection of your life appearing dim sometimes?  A lot of things may cross your mind!  The places I've been the people I've befriend are all an experience of one-of-a-kind.

You win some you lose others but it's all by design, the ultimate experience is "peace of mind!"

When you get to that special place, you do your job, you touch other's life and then you make a bout face.  You head to the east with plenty clout, you move ahead with little doubt, accomplish your goals and head on out!

There is plenty of work to do, always be honest and true, let no man belittle you!  For you have a Friend at the end who is more powerful than all on earth.  The Most High girds you right now back to your birth.

Staying strong to your commitment is a must, the strong hand above is the only one you can trust!  

Now your reflection is very clear, you walked away from chaos, Your triumph is near!  If everything you have done is in unison with the ultimate one, your job is complete, finish done, you've won!

Reflection

 time to move on. 

Stay strong in whatever you undertake to do, if you know it is your destiny and you have been called to perform a certain task, let not no one or anything block that path!  For you will be held accountable for whatever you do or don't do, it is your life and your journey.  Others pass through your life for a certain time to show you your rhythm and your rhyme.  They may lift you up or tear you down, it is left up to you to stay focus, grounded and sound!
