I was just thinking as last night i stared to sift through boxes of
stuff i saved years and years notes.. contactsand memories.. I saved
everything,,,
whenyou need to go in reverse and are visual impaired and missinga foot
its a bit overwhelming...
but here is what i do
one giveit to God... Tom has limited brainpowerand whenyou getintoa
crisis it compounds likea bad investment... but youwill find mostofthe
stuff is not needed and evenifyou trash it it clears mental space..like
weedinga garden.. so you can focusontasks at hand.. Hording andsaving
stuffand not dealing with it freezes the ability to handle it...
so ifyou weed out it gets clear er what you have... I callit BABY
steps// we dont get screwed up overnight... put onweight..smole ,drink
bad habits so same with debts bad marriage,,, anybad habit,atsame time
even geting OCD or being organized can bea set up fora great fall.... i
was organized but dothe shell game on my stuffand i become
disoriented... lost..so what to do??
star over///and Practice again..its the same as 1st time you sift out
trash and give away. throww out.. or repurpose the stuff.. or sell it..
or reorganize it.. sound simple?? its NOT... if you collected 46-50
years it will look like raiders ofthelost ark scene inthe warehouse..I
save hardware, packing, parts, Books posters suff i rediscover because
old men havea habit called maybe ill need this later so we buyintriple
everything ..we think we will uselater so 5 10 years go buy and it get
buried under boxes and stuff ,, so we also forget we have itas we wge...
so it ends upimn a estate saleor Garage sale.. I bought things for years
from estate sales... we tuck awayand say someday ill sell it or enjoy
it... but it can become our TOMB of stuff my Garage has tools i have
notseen in 10 20 years.....if i saw plumbing parts ata sale id buy it
Justin case RIGHT???
we call people like that a pack rat or Horder... many inthe 1929 great
depression did this as they feel its security,, but fact is if youkeep
lean and justwhat you need you are mobile and dont need the same spaceto
dust or the smell of musty books, posters and all as if you save stuffit
can be 100s of years old like newspapers comics etc...so keep it
simple// dont look at me ima living train wreck..but even at 67 i can go
inreverse...and clean up my life..
I just thought what will people say afteri croak..well 1st he talked
alot and was verble
wheni dontated to the bg pop culture dept the director said: you want to
preserve your legacy..i said NO i want young kids to see whati did and
enjoy the history of memorabilia.... so that was my hope..I dont care
ifthey know who i amas i see i have always beena small blip onthe
screen...I haventevenseen movie my son saw so iam not a cinema expert as
some claim..i just have kicked around for67 years and learneda few
things..but really i know very little...
so i thoughtifi craok soon what would ilike??? well i would like people
to Laughand smile and talk about the silly stuffi didandperhaps if
possible help My son and friends and each other,,, that would be
cool..and help those suffering inthe world which is all of us..
what the celebs i was able to meet seemed to share with me was
grattitude asthey learned how lucky theyw were to even do anything and
they loved what they did..butlife is a journeyand we can go up the
mountain and fall down and if we can help ease thepain of others we
have truly found the purpose of life..whenwe understand the
sufferingofanotherwe have learned our lesoon on what God wanted us to
know so we could value his plan and education..so then we Graduate
fromthis short life... its a great plan andi find myself thanking God
for my trials and failures a sufferingas its allowed me to understand
about everyone even the spiritually tormented ormentally ill..as they
are just sick souls in need of redeemption.... the bestway tolearn is by
mistakes and we all do it////
when we rebel and try to fix stuff ourselves we can mess up even more..
but when we submit to God and ask for his guidance we seek his will not
ours and its a mi
mind boggling experience for me as I can't believe how things seem to be
put into place by a perfection I could never describe that defies my
mortal logic
Things don't work out according to my time logic however when you trust
that God has a purpose of goodness things work out in ways you would
never anticipate using your own brain I believe the quote is all things
work for good and God's plan to make us more like Jesus..
For the skeptics I would say I understand you very well and I question
my
my own thoughts as I am the original doubting Thomas and he had a little
faith before I asked God to show me answers to my questions about life
and purpose
When we talk about the ego or beliefs and faith and religion and
politics it can cause lots of dissension between people I share my
testimony because I'm learning from day today myself and the lessons are
incredible and I just hope I can continue to learn productive things of
positivity to help others in the same circumstances as I am and families
and businesses and brothers and sisters of all nationalities worldwide
Christ is never sent me an invoice and has never asked me to do anything
to promote him other than share what I've learned with others freely he
said that that you do for the least of them you've also done for me and
that's why I share it because I have been very scared and weary and lost
myself with what the purpose of life is and I know it's not about just
making money and having a successful business in the movie it's a
wonderful life at the end of the book Tom Sawyer Clarence the angel says
to George Bailey no man is a failure who has friends I am not a wealthy
men however I feel I have made some good friends along the way and
that's more valuable to me than being a multibillionaire
so in a way anything I can do to help others it's been a privilege and
I just hope I've done something to make life easier for another
